“It's like a natural law that my mother can never look anything less than obscenely beautiful. Even though she was wearing jeans and a T-shirt, heads turned in her direction. Or maybe they were staring at me as I tried to discreetly wipe sweat from between my breasts without appearing to get to second base with myself. Hard to say.”
The book follows Sophie Mercer, a witch who has grown up in the human world with limited knowledge of her magical heritage. After a prom-night spell disaster draws too much attention, she is sent to Hecate Hall, a secluded boarding school on an island off the coast of Georgia. The school houses teenage prodigies of various supernatural species, including witches, warlocks, shapeshifters, and faeries. While there, Sophie must navigate the social hierarchies and tensions among the different factions of students. She also begins to uncover secrets about her own family history and the true nature of the school itself. The story combines elements of supernatural fiction with boarding school drama and mystery. It is the first installment in a series that continues Sophie's journey of self-discovery within a hidden magical world. more
