Hex Hall by Rachel Hawkins
3.0
*3.5*
O.W.L.s Readathon 2020
“I don't know what I was expecting a vampire's room to look like. Maybe lots of black, a bunch of books by Camus... oh, and a sensitive portrait of the only human the vamp ever loved, who had no doubt died of something beautiful and tragic, thus dooming the vamp to an eternity of moping and sighing dramatically.
What can I say? I read a lot of books.”
I liked a lot of elements of this book, especially how funny and sarcastic the main character was, but I feel like some things in the plot area were skimmed over a bit too much (especially the finale), the romance wasn't developed in the best way (but I assume this will be rectified a bit in the sequels), and the magic school didn't have anywhere near the amount of magical goodness that I had expected. When I read a book about a fantastical creature, I want it to go all in and never let you forget what you're reading about. I still enjoyed reading this, and I plan to continue the series, I just hope that it's better.
