Part boarding school story, part teen crush, part mystery, and all sorts of awesomeness, Hex Hall is quite the fun read. There, she makes a best friend in Jenna, her pink-loving vampire roommate develops a wild crush on the hottest warlock on campus, Archer Cross makes enemies of the only other dark witches (read: the popular girls) and eventually crosses paths with a demon. She’s been raised for the past 16 years by her human mom, but after a prom night gone bad (don’t ask), she’s shipped off to juvie for Prodigium (that is: fairies, witches and shapeshifters): boarding school Hex Hall. So: the basic plot for those of you with your heads under rocks…. This month was mine to be Keeper of the Book, and the one out of my nominations that was chosen was the “smart magical nonsense” of Hex Hall. We read YA books, snark quite a bit, and then post about it on our blogs (so you all can be jealous?). Support your local independent bookstore: buy it there!īack in the fall, I was invited by the lovely Laura at A Jane of All Reads to participate in a book group. First sentence: “Felicia Miller was crying in the bathroom.”
