    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages very funny

    Disadvantages Disadvantages the complete lapse in character put me off a bit

    Sophie is a witch, coming into her powers at twelve meant changing schools after every ‘incident’ she had. So after accidently casting a love spell that turned out to be so strong the guy nearly killed herself to get to the girl he’d been made to fall for, it’s not unusual that Sophie has to change schools again. However this time, her new school is more like a prison and it’s full of people just like her. Sentenced to education at Hex Hall, a special school for Prodigium (the “fancy Latin word for monsters”), by the Council, Sophie finds that her fellow witches, warlocks, shape shifters and ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages A fun read with a different take on female friendship, no easy answers

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Slightly stereotyped romantic subplot, cliffhanger ending

    4 Stars School has never been this magical! Review with images 11/09/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Mysterious and enjoyable read

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Cliffhanger at the end!

    Hex Hall was far from disappointing. I mean it. After reading a few reviews I wasn't that impressed, so I thought I'd read this as a challenge, to see how I would cope if I had to give it a bad review. I'm embarrassed that I didn't read more reviews of this, because it is definitely my type of book! Sophie Mercer is a (half-breed) witch who is shoved slap-bang in the middle of Hecate 'Hex' Hall - a boarding school for magical 'creatures'. She's tormented by the admired, and attractive (but bitchy) witches, and as usual, the 'leader' just happens to be going out with the (most) handsome warlock ... more
