A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

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)

"In true Hawkins fashion, School Spirits combines romance, intrigue, and the paranormal with humor and high-school drama to produce a light read that bodes well for another Hawkins series, this time featuring the Brannicks."―Booklist

PRAISE FOR SPELL BOUND

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

* "Ace plotting, snappy dialogue, unexpected twists, and an exhilarating finale will have readers eager for more."―Publishers Weekly (starred review)

PRAISE FOR HEX HALL

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

PRAISE FOR DEMONGLASS

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

* "Hawkins dials the level of humor up to high throughout most of the book, with deftly phrased witticisms in both the narrative and her characters' dialogue. Her characterizations shine as original and funny, especially Dex and Torin, an Elizabethan-era warlock trapped for centuries in the Brannicks' mirror, who dispenses dubious advice."―Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

Présentation de l'éditeur :

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 prove her worth and 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' 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! Praise for SCHOOL SPIRITS
