If you thought Hex Hall was good, you're in for a treat with Demonglass.

I will admit, when starting this book I couldn't remember the fine details of Hex Hall, but the author does a nice job of recapping events as they come up in the context of Demonglass. This leaves Hex Hall #2 at a perfect place to expand upon what we know, what we remember, and even the small nuances we may have forgotten.

The story of Demonglass is quite a bit more complex than Hex Hall, as it should be. We pick up pretty much exactly where Hex Hall left off-Sophie waiting for her dad. Rachel Hawkins is the self proclaimed queen of cliffhanger endings for chapters (as she declared on Twitter, to which I wholeheartedly agree), which means you'll be telling yourself 'just one more chapter' many times throughout, right up until the action hits you and you're unable to stop reading, cliffhangers or not.

Many events in Demonglass are unexpected, which will keep you on your toes as a reader. Just when I thought we were on one path, Hawkins would flip and get Sophie, Cal, and the rest of the crew in another situation entirely. If I had written my predictions as to how the book would go after I had read a few chapters, I would not have been even remotely close to where we ended up - which, unfortunately, is another cliffhanger.

I am now dying to read Hex Hall 3, which you will be too. Demonglass was even better than Hex Hall, and I am hoping Hex Hall 3 delivers as well!
