Book 2 in Hex Hall series
The book opens as Sophie is whisked away with Cal, Jenna and her father to England where she will learn all about being a demon (and avoid getting murdered by the bad guys who are hunting her down). The whole council side of the story and background of certain characters left me a bit dumbfounded. I think the author's favorite thing to do is to shock her readers because this book packs several punches. While I pretty much guessed what would happen throughout the story, I was still highly entertained with side stories galore and the shockers here and there.
Jenna (lesbian vampire) and Cal (white warlock) are still my favorite characters even if they have small bits here and there. In fact, one event towards the end of the novel has me biting my nails in anticipation for the third installment in the series. Fingers crossed! Readers will come away with your classic magical girl falls for magical bad boy, love triangle, conspiracy, murder, loss, mystery, etc. that is typical in teen fantasy these days. What's not so typical is the lesbian love interest story involving Jenna. It is very tastefully done.
