Review 17: Hex Hall



Title: Hex Hall
Author: Rachel Hawkins
Number of Pages: 323
Publisher: Hyperion
-
Three years ago, Sophie Mercer discovered that she was a witch. It's gotten her into a few scrapes. Her non-gifted mother has been as supportive as possible, consulting Sophie's estranged father--an elusive European warlock--only when necessary. But when Sophie attracts too much human attention for a prom-night spell gone horribly wrong, it's her dad who decides her punishment: exile to Hex Hall, an isolated reform school for wayward Prodigium, a.k.a. witches, faeries, and shapeshifters.

By the end of her first day among fellow freak-teens, Sophie has quite a scorecard: three powerful enemies who look like supermodels, a futile crush on a gorgeous warlock, a creepy tagalong ghost, and a new roommate who happens to be the most hated person and only vampire student on campus. Worse, Sophie soon learns that a mysterious predator has been attacking students, and her only friend is the number-one suspect.

As a series of blood-curdling mysteries starts to converge, Sophie prepares for the biggest threat of all: an ancient secret society determined to destroy all Prodigium, especially her.

This novel is probably the chick lit version of Harry Potter. Witches, warlock, shifter and werewolves, there is everything in there to satisfy any fan of chick lit and fantasy. Did I enjoy it? Yes I did. I ended up really wanting to know what would happen next for Sophie. Was it the best novel ever written? Definitely not. The story is catchy, but the style was just okay.

The characters were good, as I ended up liking the innocence and naivety in Sophie, the sexiness and badass ness of Acher, and of course the bitchiness of Elodie. The

It is a fun book, but not anything more. It is enjoyable and entertaining. Easy to read, which is fun when you just want to disconnect from your stressful life (and work…. And schoolwork… and everything else that can stress you…)

I would give this book a 7.5/10, because even if it is far from being a masterpiece, it is entertaining.
