A review by ingo_lembcke
Firespell by Chloe Neill

4.0

More like 3.5 star, rounded to 4.
Nice fluffy read about paranormal life in a Chicago Boarding School.
Lily is feeling like the odd-one-out after being sent by her parents to this fancy, expensive school when her parents take a sabbatical in Germany, for studies of philosophical documents.
The usual snobby group of fashion-cheerleaders-leaders prank her and force her to take sides between them or her newly found friend Scout, one other odd-one-out.
Mild suspense (could have been more), as it develops as nearly expected.
When I read this review I think, 4 stars are not really warranted, I should have round down to 3.
Whatever.
A little romance, but luckily no love-triangle, no sex, no drugs, no insta-love. So, very tame.
Feels a bit like [b:Hex Hall|5287473|Hex Hall (Hex Hall, #1)|Rachel Hawkins|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1368393885s/5287473.jpg|5354884], and [b:Born at Midnight|8705784|Born at Midnight (Shadow Falls, #1)|C.C.

Still like it, recommended it, if you like this stuff, and will certainly read the next book in this series.
