I love the character development and that no character is all good or all bad. With or without the cliff-hanger ending, I can’t wait to read Demonglass. Hex has a healthy dose of romance and a certain creep-factor that I did not expect. I LOVED this story am really excited to recommend it to my middle school Harry Potter fans (particularly girls). All are very similar to Harry Potter.ĭespite the similarities, I am going to disagree with reviewers who say Hex Hall is too much like HP. You have a boarding school for witches, in a remote location, a protagonist unfamiliar with her own family history, mysterious attacks on students, faculty members who pooh-pooh student warnings of evil penetrating the school walls, ghosts interacting with students, a teacher who “has it in” for the protagonist, etc. That said, I am sure other reviewers have criticized Hex Hall for being too-similar to Harry Potter, and I can kind of see that argument. Other reviews could taint my opinion or make me think someone else’s opinion is my own. WHAT I LIKED: As a rule, I do not read other reviews of a book until I write and publish my own review. When Sophie’s roommate is implicated in a series of attacks on students, Sophie is determined to find the true culprit. SUMMARY: After a spell on Prom night goes horribly wrong, teen witch Sophie Mercer is forced to attend Hecate, a school for delinquent witches, warlocks, shapeshifters, faeries, and vampires.
