A Trio of Paranormal Reviews from Teen Guest Blogger Molly

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.

Molly says:

"Hex Hall pulled me in right from the start. Hawkins blended humor, mystery, and real emotions into her book, making it entirely enjoyable. The story told has twists and turns at every corner, and my attention stayed on Sophie, the main character, and her adventures. Sophie uncovered much of her past, and some of the secrets that those around her held. Mysteries swept through Hex Hall and had me thinking about it for a long time, even after I finished."


Calla Tor has always known her destiny: After graduating from the Mountain School, she'll be the mate of sexy alpha wolf Ren Laroche and fight with him, side by side, ruling their pack and guarding sacred sites for the Keepers. But when she violates her masters' laws by saving a beautiful human boy out for a hike, Calla begins to question her fate, her existence, and the very essence of the world she has known. By following her heart, she might lose everything-- including her own life. Is forbidden love worth the ultimate sacrifice?

Molly says, :
"Nightshade was a thrill to read! It was compelling, romantic, desirable, and all together amazing. Once I picked the book up I couldn't put it down, and when ever I had to, I rushed back to the ever twisting puzzle that the story was. Cremer's book is almost addicting, and a great read. I was blown away by the way this book was written, and by the way the story line was put together. I hope this story continues, and I will be itching to read the sequel."



Evie’s always thought of herself as a normal teenager, even though she works for the International Paranormal Containment Agency, her ex-boyfriend is a faerie, she’s falling for a shape-shifter, and she’s the only person who can see through paranormals’ glamours.

But Evie’s about to realize that she may very well be at the center of a dark faerie prophecy promising destruction to all paranormal creatures.

So much for normal.

Molly says:
"This book was truly a thrill. I loved the way White wrote the book, to be the perfect perspective of a teenage girl, and how she blended real life with her own imagination to create this masterpiece . Brilliant new ideas popped up throughout the pages of this novel, all of which were wonderful in their own ways. Paranormalcy is a great book, and a wonderful read. "
