In fact, I didn't really find a story until halfway through. Her internal dialogue really got on my nerves.īeing distracted by our lovely but annoying Sophie, it was hard to get into the story.

I can understand she is insecure about who she is, her paranormal powers, bleh, bleh, bleh BUT she seemed very immature. Yes, I do know she IS at teenager but pleezze. See, I'm stuck in Sophie's head and well, Sophie is a bit teenage-ish. I'm just saying, that would set the book apart! But, she has some feelings for our good-boy-can't-do-anything-wrong-silent-type Cal. Of course, our lovely Sophie wants the bad boy. Twilight started it all but come on! Rachel Hawkins is a good author and well, I really liked the way she wrote the characters but seriously, do I have to pick a team? I didn't like team picking in elementary school (I had, umm, a slight weight problem so I was always picked last- bad, bad memories), why the hell would I start picking teams now!

Which is precisely why Sophie decides she must go to London for the Removal, a dangerous procedure that will either destroy her powers for good-or kill her.īut once Sophie arrives, she makes a shocking discovery. What's worse, she has powers that threaten the lives of everyone she loves. Turns out, Sophie's a demon, one of only two in the world-the other being her father. But then she discovered the family secret, and the fact that her hot crush, Archer Cross, is an agent for The Eye, a group bent on wiping Prodigium off the face of the earth. That was the whole reason she was sent to Hex Hall, a reform school for delinquent Prodigium (a.k.a.
