Review, March 15:
As much as it literally hurts rating this book four stars, I have to do it. I will admit to anyone who wants to hear that I have pretty much been obsessively waiting for this ending since I read Hex Hall on my birthday two years ago. Really. I have waited so long, and as much as I want to say it was perfect it wasn't.
Not to say it wasn't enjoyable. In fact, I absolutly love it. I love the humor, I love the twist in Part two. I adore Sophie, Archer, Jenna, and Cal, and I so wish...more

Is someone having fun conspiring against me?
2012?!
Is this some kind of joke?
Should I be laughing?
Probably I should, but no, I will kill somebody and then I'll feel better.
*Thinks about killing some certain author but what if that certain author has a fourth book? Who would write it then, right? Kills a mosquito instead*
No, I don't fell better.
I WANT Spell Bound!

*Starts creating a diabolic plan to, somehow (time machine?), drop in 2012 and come back with the book*

Are you trying to make me insane, Ms. Hawkins? What happens if I die before this book comes out, huh? I will have been left with the cliffhanger of Demonglass as an ending. I hope you're happy with yourself.
. . .Okay, okay, I am bordering on the melodramatic, I know. I just can't believe this book's release is so far away!That ending was evil. Not demon evil, but evil enough.

I want this like Sophie Mercer wants Archer Cross. (In my bed with me now! Because that's where I read books)
The above is my pre-reading review. Liked it! I always need more Archer though. Wonder what the spin-off series is going to be about. (view spoiler)

Normally I read books about three years after they come out which would've been perfect for Demonglass because then I wouldn't have to WAIT for the third book to come out. I wouldn't care usually, I'd just add this to my to-read list and get on with life but WTF WAS THAT CLIFFHANGER? IT MADE ME WANT TO TEAR THE BOOK APART? AHHH ASDJHNWFNLAESIUGNLD.
Please, Rachel Hawkins, have some mercy. My poor soul is dying here.

Want it... Need it!!! I kept hitting next page on my kindle at the last page.... that's just plain old evil!!! >.< I should protest the next book, but I WANT IT!!! and for some reason, I'm rooting for Cal... Archer... I trust him as far as i can throw him.
4/5/12- finished the book in one sitting.... I was suspious at first with the begining but...it all turned out beautifully besides one part....curse you Archer! Curse you! Lol (team cal always!!)

I need this book soooooo bad! After that ultimate cliffhanger I was like what...what.....woah...no...that couldn't have been it....
I actually kept on turning the page to see if there was a secret couple of pages that I was missing.
WHY ,HAWKINS, WHYYY?!
This is just cruel. :((( I think all of my favorite authors are conspiring against me to have totally awful cliffhangers and not publish their books for extended periods of time. Sighhh
Edit: Ohhh I do like the name of the book. Spell Bound! Woot!...more

"Holy hell weasel" perfection. Spell Bound is faultless and a brilliant ending to the series. I could not have asked for more.
Spell Bound picks up where we left off in Demon Glass... Well kind of. Sophie's powers have been sealed off and she now finds herself with the Brannicks. But they have a plan and Sophie is the key. Then, suddenly, Sophie finds herself back at Hex Hall and she'll n...more

Was it just me or was anyone else truly and utterly disappointed with this book? I really, really, really liked the first two, but this one just didn't do it for me - not because Sophie didn't choose the guy I was rooting for but becasue the whole book itself was pretty blah.
First of all, I LOVED Sophie in the first two books. This one, not so much. She was just downright annoying. "Hellalicious? Duck, duck, demon? Brannicks, magic and hell, ohmy?" Really?!?! I know Hawkins was writing Sophie as...more

It’s true. They always save the best for last.
We all know how popular these books are. I know how much I can’t get enough of Rachel Hawkins’ wonderful (and downright hilarious) imagination. I have grown to adore Sophie and Archer (a.k.a Mr & Mrs Excellence-In-Sarcasm), the brilliantly entertaining world of Prodigiums and magic, and all the craziness that comes with it. In the previous two books, we are given a generous helping of butt-kicking action and sweetly satisfying romance, b...more

Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars!
I don't want to write this review. Instead, I want to hide in the corner with a blanket and some tissues so I can read this book all over again because: It. Was. AMAZING!
Taking place right where Demonglass left off, Spell Bound starts off running and doesn't slow down at all. Every time you think that something is going right and the cast will finally get a break, something else goes wrong that leaves you flipping pages faster than before.

I'M. SO. HAPPY. I'VE. BEEN. WAITING. FOR. THIS. BOOK. FOR. AGES.
So have a number of other people, I would imagine, but I'm too wrapped up in my own squealing excitement to care too much right now.
-sigh- I don't even want to review this. I'm so disappointed. Let's go through what I did and didn't like in bullet points.
Liked:
* Jenna and Sophie's friendship. One of my favorites in YA.
* Acknowledgement that the villains don't necessarily see themselves as villains and it's not as easy as black or white.
* Mrs. Casnoff and what ends up happening with her.
* The introduction of the Brannicks in person. Izzy is adorable (if one-dimensional)!
* Spell Bound reads well and there weren't any major na...more

3.5 --
I really like this book -- I really did, even though I thought that this book was more predictable than the others.

It's finally over! *big exhale* I'm giving this book 3 stars because, despite the quips and awesome make out scenes, it was still lacking a lot of important parts that make up a novel. But I'll begin with the things I liked about it.
Sophie's character. Sometimes she was a bit blabbery and annoying, but I never thought her choices were dumb. Her internal monologue actually made me laugh multiple times, and she exemplifies the teenager with tons of supernatural issues perfectly. She deals with th...more

Wow, let me tell you – this series just keeps getting better and better and Spell Bound is by far the BEST book in the Hex Hall Series.
Following the shocking cliff-hanger in Raising Demons, we see Sophie trying to reach her mother by going to the Brannicks’ family. She has to ask herself, why would her mother be with them when they’re a family who hunt down the Prodigium? While there, Sophie’s world comes tumbling down when she finds out even more secrets about heritage but mainly, the Brannick’...more

Definitely one of the series I would forever treasure. And though I have been both sad and happy with the ending it was still a very satisfying conclusion. I'm going to miss this series. Review to come. :))

Pre-review:
Am I the only one who have grown to dislike Sophie and think she's becoming increasingly annoying during the first two books?
Am I the only one to think Ms. Hawkins' supposed 'humor' and witty remarks are getting old?
Am I the only one who thinks witty remarks are nice, but if they were spoon-fed to us in almost every single page of a novel, then I will have to say 'enough is enough'?
In another words, I don't have much high hope for that third book of the series.
Short Review:
1.5 star.

I'm in the middle of the second and now I'm to scared to finish it because i know it will leave me wanting more and how can i stand to wait till 2012! Why oh why are the fates so cruel to me. This is by far one of the best books i have read so far and she is one of my most favorite heroin, she seems so much more realistic in her thought process than most, i might be biased because she reminds me so much of myself with all the sarcastic comments. and am i alone when i say I'm rooting for Cal.

Okay Rachel Hawkins, me and you need to have a talk about this release date. How dare you make me wait a year before I figure out what happens? What is with authors and these dang cliffhangers? You guys enjoy seeing me act this way don't you? Other than being mad at the release date her books have been purely awesome. I would be reading in the car next to my sister and all of a sudden I would bust out laughing, start screaming at the book "How dare you do that!!... Don't do that!!!", or I would...more

I read the first two books today (it took eight hours to be exact) and when I finished demon glass I instantly went to the kindle store only to ddiscover that this book isn't out yet! Not only did i throw a minny tantrum I also almost died of some type of brain explosion. Why must you torture me so?
