Summary:

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 tag-along ghost, and a new roommate who happens to be the most hated person and only vampire student 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.

My thoughts:
I read this book in one sitting. I totally loved it. The first few chapters I had a hard time getting into it but once I did I couldn’t put it down. A girl named Sophie is sent to a reform school for people that have magic powers, kind of like Hogwarts but at this school there is all the magical beings that you can think of. Sophie is sent to this school so that she can learn how to harness her powers. Sophie is an amazing female lead she’s powerful, sarcastic, sassy and brave. I found my self laughing at the things that she says. If you like fantasy rom-com then this is the book for you.
