    Sophie found out she’s a witch. Three years without guidance and one extremely bad love potion later, she lands
    herself a one-way pass to Hex Hall.

    Hex Hall is a boarding school for magical creatures and beings in need of a little more training and lots of rules.
    Other inmates include werewolves, shapeshifters, faeries, and one vampire who happens to be Sophie’s new
    roommate and the one girl everyone loves to hate.

    Jenna loves pink and seems sweet, but there’s a dangerous rumor floating around about her and the death of a
    girl last year.

    Sophie’s not sure who to trust, but despite rumors, she becomes fast friends with Jenna while crushing over the
    hottest boy in school - and gaining his girlfriend as an enemy.

    When another girl is attacked, everyone wants the truth. Did a coven of witches raise a demon? Could a ghost
    from Sophie’s past be more powerful than she suspects? Are the vampires really responsible for these attacks?
    Either way, the truth must come out…

    Rachel Hawkins writes a perfect debut novel filled with paranormal creatures, a dark mystery, a deep, strange
    society, and one hot guy. This start of a new series left me breathless with anticipation for the next installment.
