After last year's crazy semester year
Sophie's father is coming to Hex Hall. Sophie's nervous. She's never met her father, plus he's the head of the magical council. He arrives just in time to see her survive yet another catastrophe - one that put her life in danger, again.After witnessing what demon's can do, Sophie's determined to have her powers removed. However as head of the Council, her father must agree to the procedure. He's not giving her permission - instead he's taking her to England for the summer.
This time together will be a chance for father/daughter bonding time as well as a chance for Sophie to learn more about herself. Sophie prepares for an easy summer with her BFF Jenna (a vampire) by her side. She's blindsided by the knowledge that someone's raising demons for weapons and that her ex-crush Archer can't stay away from her, even if it means putting his life in danger.
My Thoughts: An entertaining and engrossing read that kept me on the edge of me seat for most of the book. I loved the plot twists, the romance triangle, the layers of magic and knowledge, and Sophie's snark and wit. I loved watching the relationship develop between Sophie and her father. Warning: Holy Cliffhanger ending - this book ends at a very interesting point. I'm dying for book 3 already!
Cover Thoughts: I love these cover - but they really don't match the book AT ALL - still beautiful

Talk about a cliffhanger ending: I was reading it on my nook and when I got to the last page, I think I tried to turn the page like three times before I realized it was over! I didn't feel cheated with the cliffhanger, though. I think that's part of the job of a second book. Demonglass was page after page of tension, which I loved.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the review!
Ahhhh! I haven't read this yet, but now I'm dying to!!
ReplyDeletePS - I agree with you about the covers. I love them...think they're really well done, but they don't really have that much to do with the stories themselves.
