Sophie Mercer
thought she was a witch. That was the whole reason she was sent to Hex
Hall, a reform school for delinquent Prodigium (a.k.a. witches,
shape-shifters, and faeries). But then she discovered the family secret,
and the fact that her hot crush, Archer Cross, is an agent for The Eye,
a group bent on wiping Prodigium off the face of the earth.
Turns out, Sophie's a demon, one of only two in the world-the other being her father. What's worse, she has powers that threaten the lives of everyone she loves. Which is precisely why Sophie decides she must go to London for the Removal, a dangerous procedure that will either destroy her powers for good-or kill her.
But once Sophie arrives, she makes a shocking discovery. Her new housemates? They're demons too. Meaning, someone is raising demons in secret, with creepy plans to use their powers, and probably not for good. Meanwhile, The Eye is set on hunting Sophie down, and they're using Archer to do it. But it's not like she has feelings for him anymore. Does she?

Wouldn't this be a very cool cover for Demonglass? I mean, the original cover looks so plain!
Oops, yes...the review. But the fan cover is so cool! Anyways, this book was very short. Approximately 360 pages, it felt like I was going on a super duper fast roller coaster. Very fun and funny, just like the first book!
The jokes and sarcasm was still in this book and Sophie is still the same. And there was very, very little romance in this book, most romantic thing the characters did was just kissing... And yes, there's a love triangle. But really, it's not that bad. Two guys, one girl. Which team am I on? Cal or Archer? Yea, I love Cal, he's the good boy, one who can heal(Which I always love to do when I play games - backup) and Archer is still the bad boy we always knew, and now he pops up with The Eye. Which team? Team Archer. Yes, many will say Team Cal after reading this book, but I'm not normal. I'm extraordinary(Just kidding, but you get it.).
Demonglass is way more action packed than Hex Hall. I loved the plot and the characters! They were both fantastic! Also, Sophie's father....Yea, he's mean and bad, just like the fathers in most fantasy books, but I like him. Yea, don't ask why. I just do. I love Rachel Hawkin's writing style. It's one where you read it, and it goes by really fast and you're just hungry for more!
“Wow, Cross. I think you missed your calling. Screw demon hunting: you should clearly be writing Hallmark cards.”
