Hex Hall

Author: Rachel Hawkins

Pages: 323

Published: March 2010, Disney-Hyperion

Genre: Fantasy

Cover Score: A-

Overall Grade: A

After a prom spell gone awry, Sophie Mercer, witch-in-training, is sent to Hex Hall--a reformatory school for wayward "Prodigium" (aka witches, faeries, and shapeshifters) by her powerful warlock of a father. There, along with her fellow "freak-teens", she will learn to keep her magic in check and learn more about the world she never knew, growing up with a non-witch mother. However, by the end of her first day, Sophie has gotten on the wrong side of a powerful, model-worthy coven of witches; developed a crush on the school's resident bad-boy; and has befriended the most unpopular girl in school (a vampire). But as Sophie continues her first year at Hex, a series of vicious, attacks on Prodigium occurs--and the suspected predator is Sophie's only friend!

My thoughts: Wow--Hex Hall totally blew me away! After reading the summary of the book, I was expecting a light, fun, magical read. But this story was full of dark events and creepiness that totally bumped up the drama and made the story spooky and addicting.

Sophie was a funny, honest, and amusing main character. She narrated with detail and sarcasm that made you feel up-close-and-personal with what was going on in the story: the characters, the setting, and the events. I could perfectly picture Hex Hall in my head: it was a creative anti-Hogwarts that made a thrilling, spooky background for the action in the story.

And there was a lot of thrilling, magical action. I don't want to give too much away, but the way that the Prodigium attacks (as well as Alice, the coven, and the Jenna drama) were incorporated into the book was chilling and suspenseful. I was madly flipping pages up until the exciting conclusion! My only complaint would be that all the good drama happened in the last few pages of the book.

I want more! I must admit, I'm totally hooked--Hex Hall was possibly one of the best books I've read this year. When does the sequel come out? (:

Demonglass

Author: Rachel Hawkins

Pages: 359

Published: Hyperion, 2011

Genre: Fantasy/Mystery

Cover Score: B+

Overall Grade: A

Sophie Mercer's last semester at Hecate Hall (aka reform school for shape-shifters, witches, and faeries) was stressful. Not only did she find out that she was a demon, but her great-grandmother killed her best frenemy and her crush turned out to be working for an organization whose goal is to wipe out all demons. As one of the two demons (the other is her father) in the world, Sophie possesses dangerous and volatile powers that threaten everyone she loves, which is why she decides to go to London to get the Removal--a perilous procedure that would remove all of her powers. But when Sophie arrives, her new housemates are demons--which means that someone's secretly raising demons, with creepy plans to use their powers (and probably not for good). Meanwhile, the Eye is still hunting down Sophie in hopes of wiping her off the face of the earth, and they're using her ex-crush Archer to do it. Good thing she doesn't have feelings for him anymore. Right?

My thoughts: Demonglass as definitely one of the best books I've read this year. While I loved the first book in this series, Hex Hall, Demonglass simply blew me away! This novel was just the right length--there was plenty of action, juicy secrets, and romance packed in, and it wasn't too lengthy or complex.

I loved Sophie as the narrator--she was fresh, funny, and relatable. I enjoyed seeing her relationship with her father flourish, and I loved her witty interactions with Archer. The plotline moved quickly and fluidly, and was easy to follow. Ms. Hawkins clearly spent a lot of time on details when it came to the magical properties of the characters, and it showed. The demon history and background information that she provided helped the plot become 3-dimensional and realistic (well, as real as demons and witches can get!).

Thorne Abbey, where Sophie stays in England, made a great setting. It was mystical and mysterious, and Ms. Hawkins's beautiful descriptions made it come to life.

I do have to put forth a warning--once you start reading Demonglass, you most likely will not be able to put it down until the heart-stopping, cliff-hanging ending. I can't wait to see what's next for Sophie in this thrilling, exhilarating series!

Spooky Reads for Halloween and Beyond

It's one of my favorite times of the year again, and I love curling up with a mug of hot apple cider and a spooky, ghostly book to get into the Halloween/autumn mood. Here are my top 7 spooky paranormal picks to read this year on Halloween:

• Hex Hall by Rachel Hawkins
• Fallen by Lauren Kate
• Low Red Moon by Ivy Devlin
• Hearts at Stake by Alyxandra Harvey
• Manifest by Artist Arthur
• Deception by Lee Nichols
• Hex Education by Zareen Jaffrey and Emily Gould

...And even after Halloween, it's fun to dive into a spooky mystery or fantasy book that's fitting for the winter months. Have a fun, safe Halloween and happy reading!

Best (and Worst) of 2010

Click here to see a list of every book I read in 2010!

---------------------

I got this idea from The Story Siren:

1. Best Book of 2010

Enchanted Ivy by Sarah Beth Durst was the book I enjoyed reading the most this year. I'm normally not the biggest fan of fantasy, but this novel was riveting and well-written enough to really suck me in.

2. Worst Book of 2010

Hmm...I wouldn't say I have a worst book. There were some books that didn't work for me, but nothing so bad.

3. Most Disappointing Book of 2010

I was really let down by Lisa Mantchev's Perchance to Dream. The first book in the series, Eyes Like Stars, was so beautiful and enchanting, but I spent the majority of its sequel confused and irritated.

4. Most Surprising Book of 2010

Hearts at Stake by Alyxandra Harvey. I was expecting

cheesy romance and a stereotypical vampire plot, but it was so different from anything I imagined. One of my favorites of this year, actually!

5. Book You Recommended Most to People in 2010

Vixen by Jillian Larkin--how could you not love the sparkling glamour of 1920's Chicago? I can't wait to read the next book in the series.

6. Best Series Discovered in 2010

Well, The Drake Chronicles by Alyxandra Harvey was my favorite new series of 2010, but I also started reading the Pretty Little Liars series by Sara Shepard, and I'm totally addicted.

7. Favorite New Author of 2010

Too many to count! :)

8. Most Hilarious Read of 2010

Princess for Hire by Lindsey Leavitt was really cute, well-done, and witty.

9. Most Thrilling Unputdownable Book of 2010

Well, it technically came out in 2009, but I was literally glued to Lauren Kate's Fallen for three days straight.

10. Book You Anticipated the Most for 2010

I was super excited (read: book-stalked) about Hex Hall by Rachel Hawkins and Forgive My Fins by Tera Lynn Childs (one of my favorite authors) for months before either book came out. They didn't disappoint!

11. Favorite Cover of a Book You Read in 2010

The Cinderella Society by Kay Cassidy has such an adorable, girly cover. What can I say--I'm a sucker for shoes...

12. Most Memorable Character in 2010

I loved Lucy from Hearts at Stake and Blood Feud by Alyxandra Harvey. She was spunky and had a great attitude and sense of humor!

13. Most Beautifully Written

Book in 2010

Even though I didn't love it, Lisa Mantchev's Perchance to Dream was like beautiful, descriptive poetry.

14. Book That Had the Greatest Impact on You in 2010

Once again, not a book written in 2010, but still inspiring: The Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd. I took it with me on a trip to Seattle, and I'll never forget the weird looks I got from people on the plane while I sobbed my eyes out.

15. Book You Can't Believe You Waited Until 2010 to Finally Read

The Pretty Little Liars series by Sara Shepard and Angus, Thongs, and Full-Frontal Snogging by Louise Rennison. Thank you, summer vacation!
