I bought it while in Cali. I need to get started on it, but Bullet came in today so I'm not sure which one I'll read first. Why is it that I spent the whole last week of May trying to put off Hex Hall so I could read in June with everyone else only to get to June and now be completely distracted by other books? It happens every month. =) I think it's funny. (Granted it's day 2 and I'm already worried that I don't have the book read.)


I think once you start this one you will have a hard time putting it down.
***Spoiler*** pg. 7
I just started it and I have to say I love the comment about the Carrie prom. It was predictable, but it was cool that the guy just stood there and enjoyed it.

Okay, I finished the story. I liked it and I didn't like it. I felt parts of it to be campy. Normally I'm okay with that, but I expected more from this for some reason. I did manage to guess what was going to happen about half way through. I liked the idea of the school, but I wanted there to be something more exciting to the story. I felt like there was a lot of down time that could have been used more effectively. Some times I loved the dialogue and other times it made me feel like I was a 12 year old.
I will definitely try book 2, but I won't buy it. I really did enjoy parts of the story and the overall idea of it all, but I felt like there were missed opportunities that would have made the book more exciting.

I don't know if I'm not very bright or what but like I was discussing with my fiance just recently I don't generally know what is going to happen next in a book and this was no except unlike Heather I didn't guess what was going to happen and was suprised by a few different developements... the main one was I did NOT guess what Alice was, I'm still pretty suprised!

Overall, I thought the book was pretty good. I enjoyed the characters and like Heather said was "campy" in some spots. But I still wanted to finish it and look forward to next book.

I'm glad I'm not alone Lydia I don't really want to know what happens before it does, why finish it up then?

I don't like to know either, but it was one of those times where you just know.
There were just a few parts that seemed a little overdone or artificial. Maybe cheesy...Normally I'm all for cheesy as long as it's cute, but for some reason I didn't go for it with this book. I think it's because I heard such good things from everyone that I expected it to be AMAZING!!! Sometimes something that's good doesn't seem that way when you expect it to be better. (If that makes sense.) Hence, why I'm still going to stick with the series. I think I just had higher expectations and felt like something was missing because of those expectations. If I hadn't heard anything at all I probably would have been fine with the book.

About Hex Hall. I read it the week it came out so I wasn't expecting too much. I really loved reading every bit of it. I did figure things out pretty easily, but that is normal for me so I try not to get too upset about it.




The first book in the Gardella series is now on my to-read shelf. :)
Angela - Pick up the Night Huntress series ASAP. You'll kick yourself for not getting to it sooner.




I'm adding names to the top of the list as you finish. Make sure I've gotten your name and didn't accidentally miss you.

K. For some reason I thought you had already read it. Thanks for letting me know. I understand the library issues.

So Heather knows who read it and not in order to tally points; look at incentive to read, under the "welcome" section in the group.

O ok thanks !

I was so upset when I found out that Elodie and her other friends had killed Holly and sacrificed her for their Demon rising. Smh I was also a little upset at the ending of her wanting to just give up and go into Removal so that she wont be a demon. She was saying she wouldnt leave her friends but if she goes there she could be committing suicide. I hope in the next book what ever its called she decides not to do it. Also Archer is a Warlock and a member of the Eye and thats like the Mythical version of the KKK. How does that work im anxious to find out. Its like me being Black and being a member of a racist hate group it just makes no sense.
***Spoiler***
It's possible that the demon set it up so that it would appear to her and he's not really a member. I'm not sure what will happen.
The person with the most points at the end of the year will get a gift. We just started this month so feel free to participate. The monthly reads, and extra challenges are where you'll get the points. The only one that has a set time period is the TBR challenge.

Just finished it. I think Archer isn't really a member of the Eye. I doubt if Sophie will go through the Removal, that'll be the end of the series. Frankly, it's a little Harry Potter-ish to me.

Can you put a spoiler alert up before that? I didn't know any of that happened (I'm only about 100 pages into it. . .=/)


I agree, Rachelle879, that it is a little Harry Potter-ish, but I really like that about Hex Hall.
I loved that Demons were incorporated into the book, but my favorite thing about it has to be Archer. ;)
