Good Reads 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 tagalong 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 Review:
  Where do I even start with this book? When, I try to put this book in words I find I have trouble because I don’t know where to start. I just loved this book; This book was just exciting and you wondering in the first chapter of this book. I just could not put this book down.


        There were parts in this book that I was like “woah, I cannot believe what just happened!” To me I have no negative thoughts towards this book. I especially loved Jenna. Even though she was a vampire she had this attitude that just I liked. I also, I was curious with the character Archer throughout this book. I don’t even know how to put him into words.

        The main character, Sophie was defiantly with no doubt (I am sure if you read this book you will like her to) my favorite character. She was very nice, wonderful friend, and even though she scared sometimes most of the time she stood up for herself.
 The author, Rachel Hawkins, did an excellent job to me and when sophie (& Jenna to me)were sad, happy, or confused you were right there with them.
  My Rating:                              
I give this book 5 out of 5 towersI though this book was really interesting and just good and I can't wait to go to the book store and buy the second book.

  Goodreads Summary:

the cold. Grace has spent years watching the wolves in the woods behind her house. One yellow-eyed wolf—her wolf—watches back. He feels deeply familiar to her, but she doesn't know why. 
the heat. Sam has lived two lives. As a wolf, he keeps the silent company of the girl he loves. And then, for a short time each year, he is human, never daring to talk to Grace...until now. 
the shiver. For Grace and Sam, love has always been kept at a distance. But once it's spoken, it cannot be denied. Sam must fight to stay human—and Grace must fight to keep him—even if it means taking on the scars of the past, the fragility of the present, and the impossibility of the future

 

                                          My Review:
To start off this book was just great overall-- I loved how this book went back in forth from Sam and Grace. It was fun to read each of their thoughts and feelings.
                
        Grace was a well written character. I loved everything about her and I couldn't say anything say anything bad about her. Sam, I loved his personality, he was really sweet. He is one of those characters where you just fall in love with him .Isabell was also one of those characters where you hate her because she's the mean girl,but you find out she had good intentions.
  
     Grace and Sam's relationship was very... what word can I use ... cute and I loved everything about it. There relationship grows as the plot thickens and I loved every minute of it. Even though they had some problems they stuck together and that's what I loved about it. I was very shocked by the ending and I can't wait to read Linger I've heard some very good things about it.



                                               My Rating:
Overall give this book 5 out of 5 towers it was amazing can't say anything more. I highly recommend you buy it or  get some way to read it.
