Book review - Hex Hall by Rachel Hawkins
Start Read : September 30,2013 - Finished Read : October 10,2013
Compendious From Goodreads :
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.
To be honest,I don't really remember how I got recommended to this book....Hahaha.

Non-spoiler Book Review :
4/5 Music Notes...Which is : Awesome.I really liked this book.My thoughts on this book is on goodreads.The main protagonist is a girl named Sophie,who creates a spell on a prom-night for her friend.Then,that spell goes horribly wrong and she gets sent to a boarding school called Hecate - A.K.A Hex Hall.Once they're sentenced to Hecate,they're not allowed to leave until they're 18.And yes,the summary is right : 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.(Not victim,I kind of read that wrong so I got confused.Haha.)Soo,yea.That's all you need to know about the book - So go on!Go on what?Go check it out!
JUMP TO WHAT I THINK ABOUT THE CHARACTERS/TEASERS IF YOU DON'T WANT TO BE SPOILED.THE SPOILER REVIEW IS AFTER THIS.
Warning - Spoiler!
Reading Process - I had marked alot of pages,so,yea.Enjoy! :
Page 27 - Never had encouragement sounded so much like a threat. Hahaha.I don't even think that's counted as a threat.Lol.
Page 46 - Then he turned, saw me, and, I boy you not, snarled. Okay.Wait.I never heard the term "I boy you not"....well,actually,maybe I have,but yea,um..I need to start using that more.Haha.
Page 73 - "This is Jessica Prentiss," Mrs.Casnoff continued,her voice filling the huge room. Woaaaah,My name!Haha.
Page 104 - "Probably because you're not an evil bimbo." Bimbo?Lol.EVIL bimbo?That's funny.
Page 113 - Oh right. Red hair. Beth the werewolf. Now that sounds rude.Haha."Beth the werewolf"
Page 118 - On the upside,my crush on Archer was totally gone. Over. Once a boy has slammed his kneecap into your ribcage,I think any romantic feelings naturally go the way of the ghost. Naw,Don't lie to yourself Sophie.
Page 120 - "I . . . I like your tattoos. Your ink. Your, um, tats.They're really cool." What the fudging heck?(excuse the language),but seriously?!You would actually listen to them?What in the world?!
Page 123 - "Your dad is the head of the Council. As in, the guy who sent us all here." WAIT,HOLD ON A SEC.WHAT?!!
Page 134 - The chair on the other side of the desk was lower by a good five inches, and as I sat in it, I immediately felt about six years old.Which, I guessed, was the point. Hahaha,That's funny to think off.
Page 154 - "Archer isn't hot anymore," I'd fired back. "He tried to kill me, and his girlfriend is Satan." Seriously Sophie?Sometimes you piss the heck out of me.GET IN IN YOUR MIND.If it was Vandy,you'd be dead.My lord.And seriously....Don't lie to yourself and say Archer isn't hot,Because you KNOW he's hot.Haha.
Page 228 - "Be careful. The Eye sees you, even here." Well,wow.That's creepy.
Page 287 - That's when I knew that what I was seeing through my fingers was real : it was the mark of L'Occhio di Dio. Archer was an Eye. NOO,NOOO.NO WAY.AND THEN HE JUMPS OUT THE WINDOW AND SAYS GOODBYE?ACTUALLY,HE DOESN'T,BUT NOOO WAY.
Page 300 - "Miss me?" Jenna asked with a grin. Omg,Heck yea I did.HI JENNA!
Page 316 - "You people are more prepared than the Girl Scouts," LOL.That's just too funny.
Page 323 - "I'm not going home. I'm going to London, and I'm going through the Removal." Pardon me?I didn't clearly understand that?What?You're going to go through the removal?Whattt?
Review :
Ok,Wow.That ending...I wouldn't say it was a cliffhanger,but I also wouldn't say it's not a cliffhanger.The ending is somewhere in between that.Also,Elodie dies.Okay,you know what?Let me try to start from the beginning.So,Sophie gets transferred into Hecate/Hex Hall and can't leave until she's 18.So,she gets in a fight with a werewolf-I believe and Archer saves her(I think) and teases her.And then,she refuses the request to join the dark witches' coven and then they're now her enemy.The funny thing is that they joined her into the coven without her knowing.Anyways,she also shares a room with the most hated Vampire/person on the boarding school.And that's about it.Sometimes,though,Sophie is just SOOO ILOGICAL.like,chill out girl and think it through.That's also part of the reason why this book lost a star.I mean,I don't expect her to be perfect,but I swear to god,if I was the main character,I would think to at least think it through.Like,seriously?!
(No Spoiler)What I think about the characters :
- Sophie : I liked her as the main character.I mean she is stupid at times,well,most of the time but it was fun reading through her perspective.
- Archer : Cool,guy.I liked him.Funny.Smarter than Sophie,at least.Haha.
- Jenna : Aww,it sucks that, that's Sophie's roomate and the most hated person on campus.Hahaha.
- 'The Powerful Enemies' : Um,,Stupid like Sophie?But that's the thing.They the whole book funny.
Teasers :
"That's right! She's the one who nearly killed me last night by putting a charmed bone in my dress!"
