I finished this book with a big, cheesy grin on my face. In Hex Hall, Sophie Mercer is sent away to a boarding school for, basically, delinquent magic users. She finds herself surrounded by faeries, witches, warlocks and even a vampire or two – and also stumbles right into the middle of a mystery that will ultimately reveal a powerful secret.
I chuckled, swooned and sighed my way through the story and had a blast doing it. I loved the touch of romance/danger thrown in and thought it rounded out the story well – because it gave depth and didn’t overpower what was actually going on. I loved how Sophie wasn’t a weak little girl who went running whenever she’d have to stand up for herself and Jenna, as a best friend, was pretty darn cool.
There’s good cheesy and bad cheesy when it comes to YA Paranormal fiction and this one definitely goes on the good cheesy list. I’ll be loaning out my copy (and am actually glad I bought this one so I could do that) to friends and family alike.
