Three years ago, Sophie Mercer discovered that she was a witch. It's gotten her into a few scrapes. Her non-gifted mother has been as supportive as possible, consulting Sophie's estranged father—an elusive European warlock—only when necessary. But when Sophie attracts too much human attention for a prom-night spell gone horribly wrong, it's her dad who decides her punishment: exile to Hex Hall, an isolated reform school for wayward Prodigium, a.k.a. witches, faeries, and shapeshifters.

Hecate Hall (or Hex Hall, as it is called by the magical teens sentenced to attend there) is no Hogwarts. Instead, it is a reform school for young Prodigium (witches, vampires, shape shifters and faeries) gone bad. Sophie, a young witch, unleashes a chaotic and ill advised love spell at her high school prom which lands her in Hex Hall. Upon her arrival, Sophie immediately faces plenty of problems, both magical and mundane - bunking with a vampire suspected of killing her previous roommate, an epic (but hopeless) crush on the most popular warlock there, a trio of beautiful and power-hungry witches and the toughest teachers ever. Most disturbingly, a centuries-old secret society is intent on wiping out all Prodigium (particularly Sophie, thanks to the surprising identity of her long absent father), and Hex Hall is the epicenter of their efforts. This book is an interesting mix of styles, offering clever homage to Harry Potter and other books in the supernatural genre while integrating elements of contemporary teen book series such as The Clique. The first volume in a planned series, this book will draw readers to the series with plenty of romance, mystery and a last minute cliffhanger decision. Libraries serving teen readers, particularly girls, will find a receptive audience for this debut book by a promising new writer for young adults. While the story of a school for magical young people may not be new, the twist that this book offers is refreshing. Reviewer: Sherrie Williams
