Customer Reviews

Lots of fun.

An awkward teen is sent to a special school for witches, warlocks, vampires, and werewolves. Upon discovering that her father is a warlock and her mom is normal. She discovers her powers upon her birthday, and is sent to either control these powers or stay there like a prison. Fun characters and world wide intrigue.

Order Mistake

I ordered a hardcover version of this book and received a paperback instead. However, the book itself was still really good which is why I gave it 3 stars instead of 1 for the order mixup.

Yay!

This book was such an easy and fast read. It's fun, mysterious, and likable. It's creepy (but not too creepy) in such a good way, and I can't wait to read the others!

Excellent YA Series

I have read many, many series of Young Adult novels, and this series is one of the best. I love the main character, Sophie; she is spunky and independent. This book (and its sequels) made me laugh, held me in suspense, and kept me hooked the whole time I was reading. I love this series, and I highly recommend it!

Fun read, sassy heroine.

The thing I really enjoyed most about this book was Sophie's sass. I can't turn down a sassy heroine. Ever. I think this would made a good middle-grade read but it was also fun and pretty enjoyable as someone who does not fall into that category.
