On a glorious snow day a couple of years ago
, I devoured the first Hex Hall book and immediately fell in love with Sophie and her world. A mix of Percy Jackson and Libba Bray’s A Great and Terrible Beauty, Rachel Hawkins has created a fresh and original series that my Book Owls Book club and I devoured it last year.
In Hex Hall, we meet Sophie, a 15 year old witch, who was born to a warlock dad and human mom. She has lived a pretty normal life with her mom up until the night 
she tries to help a friend at prom with a love spell that goes horribly wrong. Her dad sentences her to Hecate Hall (fondly nicknamed Hex Hall), a school for witches, shapeshifters, and fairies who have threatened their kind by showing their magic to humans. Bored and angry, she is determined not to like Hex Hall, but everything is not as it seems at Hex Hall, or in Sophie’s life.
This year, the final book in this trilogy has been released and I have already talked to several people who have run in here to get the conclusion to this series, Spell Bound.
If you have already loved this series, or are just now hearing about it, come meet the author, Rachel Hawkins, on Monday, March 26th at 4:00. But be forewarned–There will be spoilers.
We hope to see you there!
