Synopsis

Fifteen-year-old Izzy Brannick was trained to fight monsters. For centuries, her family has hunted magical creatures. But when Izzy's older sister vanishes without a trace while on a job, Izzy's mom decides they need to take a break.

Izzy and her mom move to a new town, but they soon discover it's not as normal as it appears. A series of hauntings has been plaguing the local high school, and Izzy is determined to investigate. But assuming the guise of an average teenager is easier said than done. For a tough girl who's always been on her own, it's strange to suddenly make friends and maybe even have a crush.
Can Izzy trust her new friends to help find the secret behind the hauntings before more people get hurt?

Rachel Hawkins's delightful spin-off brings the same wit and charm as the New York Times best-selling Hex Hall series. Get ready for more magic, mystery and romance!

About this title

Review:

PRAISE FOR SPELL BOUND

"Sophie is a plucky heroine [and] the action is nonstop."--VOYA

PRAISE FOR DEMONGLASS

"Brisk pacing, sparkling romantic chemistry and genuine heartache will satisfy fans and attract new readers to the series."--Kirkus Reviews

PRAISE FOR HEX HALL

"Hawkins' entertaining debut is jam-packed with magical creatures and mystery."--Publishers Weekly

PRAISE FOR HEX HALL

"Opening Hex Hall was like opening a box of chocolates-no way could I exercise self-control! There was at least one laugh per page, a witty and self-depreciating protagonist, a.k.a. Sophie Mercer, and a murder mystery that had the pages turning themselves-either that, or one of Hex Hall's invisible Prodigium was to blame! Bottom line: Sophie Mercer has cast a spell on me!"--Becca Fitzpatrick, best-selling author of Hush, Hush

PRAISE FOR DEMONGLASS

"Complete with maniacal spirits and one heck (hex?) of a twist, will have readers anxiously awaiting the next installment."--The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

PRAISE FOR DEMONGLASS

* "One engaging, entertaining story. Once readers turn the first page, it is nearly impossible to put the book down."--VOYA (starred review)
