Hex is the first book of Lassiter’s trilogy on the same title. It revolves around the main character named Raven who is a Hex. Together with her brother, they aim to look for their lost sister. However, the main problem is that a secret government agency has been built to look and destroy Hexes and this agency took their sister, Rachel, when they were young. They don’t know if she’s a Hex or she’s still alive or not. And one way to confirm it is to crack the top-secret security of the agency using Raven’s power and look for their sister.
One of the key themes of this book include: humanity, immorality of the government for the sake of research, the gap between rich and poor, and the importance of bravery and friendship.
This book is certainly a novel that will make you look inwards. One thing that I like about this is that it really has an ending that I’m sure will piss off people who online like happy ones. With a not so happy ending for this first book really opens my mind. And although it wrenches my heart because of how relevant it is, I still appreciate it other than happy endings. However, if you want happy ones, you might like reading the other two books. Yet, for me, I will only read this because I prefer an ending that really connects with what’s happening in the world right now.

These books aren't so much dystopias as set in a vaguely depressing future. Which is basically the same thing. Not really, though.

The only reason I picked up this book was because the author's last name was Lassiter, like the most amazing police officer on TV (from the show Psych, which is an amazing show, go watch it).
I was definitely impressed. The plot and setting were AMAZING. If the 23rd and 24th centuries are going to be like this, technology wise, I want to go live there now. I would love to have my own flitter, and live in the heights of one of those tall sky-scrapers. And of course, I would want to be a Hex. I want to be Raven, so bad.
She is so badass, and inhuman. I love it. I love how she is so concise, calm and collected. It seems she can do everything, but if you look hard enough you can find her weakness.
The only thing I didn't really like was that Raven and Kez seemed to come across almost twice their age. If they were going to act like this, I don't see why Lassiter didn't just bump their ages up, but ah well.
Overall, 5 out of 5 stars!

I don't remember much about this book, but I do know that I liked it, and that I wanted to read the sequels.
