Synopsis/Description: 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 tagalong 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.

As a series of blood-curdling mysteries starts to converge, Sophie prepares for the biggest threat of all: an ancient secret society determined to destroy all Prodigium, especially her.

Review: This is NOT my type of book. I don't like witches very much (read: at all) but the books I had ordered hadn't come yet and this was right in front of me, in Portuguese, in the store and my instincts took over, ie, I grabbed the book and ran to my parents to beg them for it. So, yeah, I was desperate.

So I was surprised to find out I kind of liked Hex Hall. Hawkins created a really cool place for Prodigium to be, and a really nice love interest.

Sophie is a likable character, and she is very funny, which is always a bonus so she's a good heroine. Her decision in the end surprised me, but somehow it sounded a little bit forced.
Archer is odd, from the beginning, I wasn't understanding him, but then a piece of foreshadowing made my brain work and it all fit in, which means in the end, I was not surprised. Needless to say, I thought it was quite predictable.

Overall, it was enjoyable, but I have read some other better things. It is very funny so I'd recommend it if you want to laugh. And if you like this kind of things, of course.
Rating: 4/5
