Welcome to the MOSL Book Challenge
Spell Bound is the third book in the Hex Hall series, and I am not sure if it will be the last. While I loved the first two books in the series, Spell Bound left me feeling disappointed and wanting more. It was not a satisfying ending for many of my favorite characters, so I'm hoping that this is not the last of Sophie Mercer's story. You get to meet more of Sophie's world, and see what happens when the opposing forces in her world clash. Not everyone is who they say they are and not everything is as it seems.

Summary: "After learning that she is capable of dangerous magic, Sophie Mercer goes to England with her father, friend Jenna, and Cal hoping to have her powers removed, but soon learns that she is being hunted by the Eye--and haunted by [spoiler]."
Demonglass continues Sophie Mercer's story from Hex Hall. Sophie's world and the world of the Prodigium expand greatly in this sequel. I can't talk too much without giving away spoilers, but it ends on a major cliffhanger, and I will be anxiously starting the next book soon!

Summary: "When Sophie attracts too much human attention for a prom-night spell gone horribly wrong, she is exiled to Hex Hall, an isolated reform school for wayward Prodigium, a.k.a. witches, faeries, and shapshifters."
I enjoyed Rebel Belle so much that I requested all the available books by Rachel Hawkins. Much to my delight, she has an established series with Hex Hall (which is followed by Demonglass and Spellbound), and School Spirits.
Hawkins' heroines have personality and spunk - they often say things or react to situations in a way that I can relate to. These are quick, easy reads - she doesn't get bogged down in detail. The stories are built up and told almost too quickly! I never wanted it to end.
