2. Hex Hall - Rachel Hawkins

 This is another Good Reads recommendation that's been in my 'to read' list for a month or two. I'd never heard of the author, and so I was a little wary about reading it. After checking out the reviews on Amazon for it, I decided to just give it a shot. It's current price on Amazon (for Kindle) is 6.29 USD. Not too bad for a few hours of enjoyment.  

"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.


By the end of her first day among fellow freak-teens, Sophie has quite a scorecard: three powerful enemies who look like supermodels, a futile crush on a gorgeous warlock, a creepy tagalong ghost, and a new roommate who happens to be the most hated person and only vampire on campus. Worse, Sophie soon learns that a mysterious predator has been attacking students, and her only friend is the number-one suspect.

As a series of blood-curdling mysteries starts to converge, Sophie prepares for the biggest threat of all: an ancient secret society determined to destroy all Prodigium, especially her." - Product description on Amazon.

1. Daimon/Half-Blood by Jennifer Armentrout

Hello, my name is Nicole, and I'm a bibliophile. I hear the first step to recovery is admitting one has a problem. Well I may have a book addiction, but it is definitely not a problem (for me, at least). I decided to start writing reviews after realizing that a lot of people in my life come to me asking for suggestions on what to read, so perhaps maybe others would benefit from my suggestions. I read a wide range of sub-genres in two different types of genres: Young Adult, and Adult Romance. If those two types are two of your favorites, we're going to get along just fine! :) These are all going to be mostly positive reviews, as  in the 13 years since I picked up my first Harlequin and became a book addict, I can count on my hand the books I *didn't* like. Finally, I'd like to apologize before-hand for any rambling, spelling or grammatical errors, or lack of detail; this is my first official review.  Anyways, onto the goods. **CONTAINS SPOILERS**
