Book Review: Hex Hall

                                                            Hex Hall Review
Hex Hall is about a young witch named Sophie Mercer who after a love spell goes wrong is sent to a boarding school for Prodigium also known as supernatural beings. Sophie has a hard time adjusting to life at Hecate, her boarding school due to not really knowing anything about being a witch, finding out her dad his head of the council, making enemies with a trio of popular witches and befriending the only vampire at Hecate. Sophie also has developed a crush on Archer Cross who already has a girlfriend and his girlfriend Elodie is one of the witches that Sophie has became enemies with very early on in the book.

There's also been attacks on members of Elodie's coven of witches which have left the victims drained of their blood with the victims waking up without any memories of the attack or not waking up at all. Most of the school blames Jenna the only vampire at the school but Sophie doesn't believe this is true because she and Jenna have become close friends and therefore Sophie begins to suspect that a demon or a group of Prodigium hunters named L' Occhio di Dio are behind the attacks.

I really loved the friendship that developed over the course of the novel between Sophie and Jenna because it felt real to me and I loved how much they cared about each other and often times ended up having fun together and cheering each other up. I also enjoyed the romantic tension that developed through out the story between Sophie and Archer. Another thing I liked was that there were quite a few twist that came into view towards the end of the novel involving both demons and L' Occhio di Dio and I'm really excited to see what those twists means for the future of the series.

I overall loved Hex Hall it had fun and witty writing style, an exciting plot but still felt very much like a teenage story and I really liked a lot of the characters and their relationships with each other as well. Please tell me your thoughts on this book.
