Sophie Mercer thought she was a witch. That was the whole reason she was sent to Hex Hall, a reform school for delinquent Prodigium (a.k.a. witches, shape-shifters, and faeries). But then she discovered the family secret, and the fact that her hot crush, Archer Cross, is an agent for The Eye, a group bent on wiping Prodigium off the face of the earth.

Turns out, Sophie's a ...more

Jun 24, 2010 Michelle, the Bookshelf Stalker Queen of the Undead rated it it was ok

I am done. I'm so tired of these type of books, that I'm officially calling it quits (....until curiosity and good reviews bring me back).

Why?

Why must these books have to have the predictable love triangle?

Why not a love square?

[image error]

I'm serious! Why must there be two guys and one girl? Or two girls and one guy? I know. Twilight started it all but come on! Rachel Hawkins is a good author and well, I really liked the way she wrote the characters but seriously, do I have to pick a team? I d ...more

This sequel to Hex Hall is...

KIDDING! Lol. It’s the exact, complete opposite of boring. In fact, every chapter-ender plants a smile on my face or induces a pleasant look of anxiety for what’s to happen next or invokes a crazy ugly squeal. It’s a total page-turner.

The plot is even more adventurous and challenging and I’m completely engrossed especially because the narrations and dialogues are a whole lot funnier and the romance is a whole lot swoonier although I do empathize with readers’ rev ...more

I usually don’t give a crap about love triangles. When people are like “Team BLAH!”, I just kind of half-heartedly smile because I couldn’t care less. Except in this series, I actually do. Given the choice between a jerky douchebag maybe-traitor and a sexy, sweet lumberjack-type of dude, I’m gonna go lumberjack every day of the week. I remembered the love triangle from the first book in the series, Hex Hall, but I didn’t remember a lot of the plot before I started the second installment.

I remembered the love triangle from the first book in the series, Hex Hall, but I didn’t remember a lot of the plot before I started the second installment. As it turns out, that didn’t really matter because Rachel Hawkins reacquaints readers with all the characters and important plot points in a conversation early on. I was happy for the reminders but fans who remember more about HH might be a little bored for the first bit.

The majority of this book is interesting but not riveting. Hawkins has a great sense of humor but there were a lot of 2011-type jokes, (e.g. “Cryptic Dad is cryptic.”) and I wonder if the humor will date itself in the future. In terms of plot, without spoilering the last book, Sophie, Jenna, and Cal go to England for the summer so Sophie can learn more about herself/her powers and spend time with her father. Aforementioned lame love interest Archer Cross has been sighted in England so it makes the situation more dangerous than it could be, as does the fact that L’Occhio di Dio (The Eye) has been more actively attacking Prodigium all over the place. Also, someone is raising demons . That bites.

Back to the love triangle. Archer is still all over the place in this one but I still didn’t really enjoy him as a character. (view spoiler) Every time Archer showed up, I secretly hoped someone would just walk by and kill him. I laughed about that one for a while—imagining what books would be like if, out of the blue, some random person just showed up and killed a main character. Everything Cal does makes him more endearing, and there is a plot twist regarding him in the first few pages that surprised me and then left me a little frustrated throughout because there were several scenes dealing with it and I wish Sophie would just get over Archer. (view spoiler)

I said earlier that most of the book was interesting but not riveting. The last fourth or so of the book—RIVETED. There is just tons of action going on and I flew through it. I would’ve given this book 3 stars had it not been for the last section of the book. And that ending? Way to leave a series wide open, Rachel Hawkins. Who the hell knows where it will go next? I’ll definitely be getting the next one.

You know how sometimes you just take a totally irrational liking to a particular character, and when the story doesn't work out in their favour, you just want to throw the book away? Yeah, that's what happened to me with Demonglass. (Also, why is this book called Demonglass when the demonglass doesn't play any major role in the book?)

Sophie is still as sna You know how sometimes you just take a totally irrational liking to a particular character, and when the story doesn't work out in their favour, you just want to throw the book away? Yeah, that's what happened to me with Demonglass. (Also, why is this book called Demonglass when the demonglass doesn't play any major role in the book?) Before I start the review, I want to make some things very clear. Objectively speaking, this is a great book, and very worthy of four stars. Sophie is still as snarky and adorable as she was in Hex Hall. I'm a little bit in love with her father, and the plot has very many more twists and turns than the first book. It was an exciting, breathless read. SO what went wrong for me in Demonglass? Two words: Team Cal.

I know, I know, it's crazy. How can I prefer the clean-cut All-American boy to the dark, troubled rebel? Wasn't I the one who admitted to having a secret weakness for starcrossed lovers? And Archer's so hot and Sophie's so in love with him! BUT. What can I say, I still like Cal better. I swear I'm not doing it to be perverse, I just think I would have liked the book about forty times more if Rachel Hawkins had decided to make Sophie get the hell over her crush on Archer, especially since she knows he's helping to kill hundreds of innocent Prodigium, and made her slowly fall in love with the kinder, more compassionate and infinitely more mature Cal. However, this is not my book, and since Rachel Hawkins has done a good job with the direction she has taken, I will grudgingly admit, despite my blind partiality for Cal, that the book works well.There is some great chemistry between Sophie and Archer, and I like the fact that Sophie doesn't miss him and think about because of how hot he is, but rather because she misses talking to him and hanging out with him.

In Demonglass, Sophie finally meets her father, who persuades her to come to England to get to know him and learn more about her demon powers before going through with the Removal. She also discovers that she is betrothed to Cal, which makes for plenty of awkwardness. Sophie, Cal and Jenna go to England, where they also discover two other demon teenagers. Sophie discovers that the Prodigium is on the brink of war with the Eye and slowly begins to accept her powers, her future role as Head of the Council and her love for her father. Into the middle of this come several crises, including the reappearance of Archer in her life, the threat of someone raising demons and the knowledge that someone wants Sophie dead.

This book is not as simplistic as Hex Hall. The humor and snark are still there, but you can see Sophie growing up to be a more mature, more astute person. Her growing relationship with her dad, a mixture of sarcasm, admiration and eventually, love, is great to see. While the first half of the book was fun and interesting, the second half was heart-poundingly good! The plot takes several unexpected twists and turns, and what I really liked about the ending is the fact that the villains are not cut-and-dried 'I want to be the most powerful person in the Prodigium' warmongers; instead, they believe their path is the only way to save the Prodigium. It's so rare to come across shades of grey in YA literature that I'm always glad to see even a hint of it.

I have to admit that one of the things that really ticks me off is when strong heroines fall apart in crisis situations. I know it may be realistic and true-to-life, but personally, I like my kick-ass heroines to be kick-ass. This is one of the things that put me off Mockingjay, the fact that Katniss fell apart at the most crucial moment, the pivotal point at which her skill was most needed. I guess I think a heroine is only really strong if you show me she is, at the time she needs to be. Really strong people deal with things as they happen and give themselves the luxury of falling apart only later. So I was a little disappointed that Sophie ends up so passive at a point when she is supposed to be strong, and needs to lean on Cal after all. That's the sort of underlying reinforcement of the 'little woman' syndrome that makes me want to pull my hair out.

As for the romance, the only thing I have left to say is that if Hawkins was going to fall into the Triangle Trap, the least she could have done was twisted it differently. However, I must admit I am curious to see where the story will go in the next book in the series, and all in all, this was a fun, exciting read. I would totally recommend it. ...more

So of course I was looking forward to Demonglass but I wasn't sure if it would be as good. Demonglass outshined my expectations, it was even better than Hex Hall!!!! We are back with Sophie who has spent the last few months trying to get over that fateful night she lost a lot. Her dad's back in the picture, her friend is dead, her beloved Archer is missing (or hiding). Whats a girl to do?

Her dad shows up and suggests taking Sophie back to his house (or maybe not his house exactly) and she wants to bring Jenna with her. Her dad agrees and he also suggests a mystery guest as well. Who is the mystery guest? Cal! Remember Cal, he was the guy that was a few years older that stayed on campus when he graduated and more or less became the janitor. He heals people. Yep, that Cal. Why on earth is Cal coming I asked myself? Well, on page 18, I got my answer and I laughed so hard I thought I was going to cry. I loved that!!!!

Of course leaving the school, Sophie gets a strange feeling that all 3 of them will not be returning. Sophie and her friends go back to the mansion aka Thorne Abbey. There they spend the next few months discovering secrets about Sophie's heritage, and just how powerful she really is. The Eye is still out to get her as well, and Archer shows up a lot throughout the book.

Of course Sophie doesn't know who she should really trust. When it comes down to it, everyone seems hunky dory on the outside but Sophie starts wondering about her dad's "friends," who Archer "really" is, and just how many people she can really trust.

With a new set of characters, more intensity in Sophie's life, the fact that the school may not be what it seems, and the Eye out to kill her, Demonglass was a hit!

Let me finish by saying this, I really liked Archer in the first book but after getting to know Cal, my feelings started leaning towards him and I desperately wanted something to really happen between Sophie and him. And everything he sacrificed made me feel so giddy I wanted to jump up and down with excitement. But of course she's still got it bad for Archer! How do you choose between a super powerful warlock and a hot older healer? Decisions, decisions.

Demonglass was AWESOME! And of course it ends with such a cliffhanger that Demonglass will make people want to cry because as of right now, they can't run to the bookstore and get the next book! Write faster Hawkins!

Overall: Loved Demonglass!!! Love Sophie, Cal, Jenna, Archer, her dad, just everyone!!!

Cover: It's awesome. Love it. Its even nicer than Hex Hall! Beautiful cover!

Sophie Mercer attends Hecate Hall ,or Hex Hall as the students have come to call it; a school for delinquent Prodigium (witches, warlocks, vampires, werewolves, and faeries) who have had trouble controlling their powers.

In Demonglass, Sophie has decided to go through the Removal after discovering that she is a demon, not a witch like she always thought.

In Demonglass, Sophie has decided to go through the Removal after discovering that she is a demon, not a witch like she always thought. The problem is that demons are rare (Sophie and her father are the only ones currently in existence) and volatile. Sophie has seen first hand what can happen if a demon goes rogue and she refuses to risk hurting anyone she loves. The Removal is the only guaranteed solution. It will strip her of all of her powers but it will leave her covered in purple tattoo like marks and could also end her life.

Now Sophie is off to London, with Cal (who I might add is delicious)and Jenna (her vampire best friend) in tow, to spend the summer with her Dad. He is determined to prove to her that the Removal is not her only option. If only that was her only dilemma. It turns out that Archer Cross, her former classmate and crush is an agent for The Eye, a group bent on wiping Prodigium off the face of the earth. Sophie hasn’t seen him since she discovered his secret and he fled Hecate. But rumors say he has been spotted in London…

The Eye has always been a concern for Prodigium. But with the discovery that someone is raising new demons, the Eye have become more aggressive then ever. A war is brewing and the ones responsible may be closer then they think.

Demonglass was fantastic! This installment is packed with new information and new riddles. Some family secrets are unveiled as well. Although I will admit that Rachel Hawkins doesn’t actually come out and tell you the last big revelation but I think you’ll know. And what YA book is complete without a little love triangle action? Cal really starts to become a contender for Sophie’s affections in Demonglass. I’m still rooting for Archer though ;-) Hex Hall #3 should be out spring of 2012. It will be a long wait but will you can bet I will be picking it up as soon as it hits the shelves! ...more

After a night out in a club Sophie and the others come face to face with the "Eye" and more specific with Archer who tells her about all the mysterious things and dark magic that happens in Hex Hall and they try to find out what exactly is happening.
