Hex Hall (Hex Hall Series #1) by Rachel Hawkins

Blurb about this book:

     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 tag-along ghost, and a new roommate who happens to be the most hated person and only vampire on campus. Worse, Sophie soon learns that a mysterious predator has been attacking students, and her only friend is the number-one suspect.

My POV:

     This book is the farthest thing from boring.  It's a perfect novel filled with paranormal creatures, dark mystery, romance, and strange societies.  Every chapter had some sort of action in it so there wasn't a chance to get bored.  Not to mention, after reading the first few sentences you get reeled in and want more.  I loved the author's sense of humor and the quips she blended so perfectly into the dialogue. 
    
     With that being said, the only issue I had was the "Trinity", (which is a coven of witches at her school), reminded of the movie The Craft, kinda hokey.  Other than that, I am very excited to read the next installment. 

My Score:

     Eagerly anticipating the next one.  ♥♥♥♥♥ (5 hearts).
