I love YA urban fantasy and dystopian. I also read some middle grade and historical fiction. I apologize for any spelling errors. If any of my ratings/Posts don't match up its because I just imported them from Goodreads and need to adjust them.
I'm on Instigram as Readinglife.

POSSIBLE SPOILERS AHEAD
What started out as a promising novel slowly but surely fell from what could a have been a 5 star rating.
Hex Hall starts out as a fun, breezy read. The characters (for the most part) were well developed and believable.
But Ms. Hawkins fell prey to these common YA tropes:
-
Group of gorgeous but mean spirited girls, one of whom
-
Is dating the main characters crush and
-
They try to get the MC to join their elite group
-
And there was Slut-Shaming.
-
Which was of course directed at previously mentioned mean girls.
So I just kinda got sick of the slut-shaming and for a book about witches and other magical creatures, there was more high school drama then there was magic.
