On her twelfth birthday, Sophie Mercer discovered that she was a witch. Three bumpy years later, after a prom-night spell gone horribly wrong, she's exiled to Hex Hall, an isolated reform school for wayward Prodigium, a.k.a. witches, faeries, and shapeshifters.
By the end of her first day, 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. Then, when a mysterious predator begins attacking students, and Sophie's only friend is the number-one suspect, a horrifying plot begins to surface. Soon, Sophie is preparing for the biggest threat of all: an ancient secret society determined to destroy all Prodigium, especially her.

"I loved these books soooo much lol really really good "
— Marie (5 out of 5 stars)
“What makes this fast-paced romp work is Hawkins’ wry humor and sharp eye for teen dynamics, especially between the popular and the misfit crowds… and an ending that leaves you hanging will have readers grabbing for the sequel.”
— Booklist“While this could’ve been another awkward-outsider-magic-girl goes to woo-woo school story, Hawkins pulls it off with a great plot that gets twistier as the story progresses. She also manages to leave some plot points dangling for the second book while concluding enough to keep the reader satisfied — a rare feat in this series-happy genre.”
— RT Book Reviews (4 stars)The story is well paced and plotted with tween-friendly humor and well-developed characters.
