Author: Rachel Hawkins
Synopsis:
Sophie Mercer thought she was a witch.
That was the whole reason she was sent to Hex Hall, a reform school for delinquent Prodigium (aka witches, shapeshifters, and fairies). But that was before she discovered the family secret, and that her hot crush, Archer Cross, is an agent for The Eye, a group bent on wiping Prodigium off the face of the earth.
Turns out, Sophie’s a demon, one of only two in the world—the other being her father. What’s worse, she has powers that threaten the lives of everyone she loves. Which is precisely why Sophie decides she must go to London for the Removal, a dangerous procedure that will destroy her powers.
But once Sophie arrives she makes a shocking discovery. Her new friends? They’re demons too. Meaning someone is raising them in secret with creepy plans to use their powers, and probably not for good. Meanwhile, The Eye is set on hunting Sophie down, and they’re using Archer to do it. But it’s not like she has feelings for him anymore. Does she?

My Thoughts:
This book continues with Sophie meeting her Dad and staying with him for the summer. The adventure continues with Sophie trying to figure out who is raising more demons and why!
I loved this sequel just as much as I did Hex Hall. Now Sophie's character is always Sophie, which I loved. Her attitude stays the same but you can tell she's maturing and learning as the series continues. Cal and Archer...Where to start? Team Archer all the way! I like Cal, seems like a sweet guy but Archer has more, more something to him that I really love. (couldn't think of the word)
The adventure and action in this book was amazing. Adventure after Adventure. I really like Sophie's Dad, he's a great character. Really hope nothing too bad happens to him, AND Jenna. I'm mad about that at the end! And Mrs. Casnoff, surprised the mess out of me. SHOCKED is more like it, never would have guess.
I cannot wait til the next book releases! Spellbound, just the name makes me want it in my hands NOW! Hawkins, you are amazing!
I her so many great things about this series and I can't wait to check them out! The characters and the whole idea sounds awesome. Glad you enjoyed this! Great review! :D
