Spell Bound (Hex Hall #3)

by Rachel Hawkins

Just as Sophie Mercer has come to accept her extraordinary magical powers as a demon, the Prodigium Council strips them away. Now Sophie is defenseless, alone, and at the mercy of her sworn enemies—the Brannicks, a family of warrior women who hunt down the Prodigium. Or at least that’s what Sophie thinks, until she makes a surprising discovery. The Brannicks know an epic war is coming, and they believe Sophie is the only one powerful enough to stop the world from ending. But without her magic, Sophie isn’t as confident.

Sophie’s bound for one hell of a ride—can she get her powers back before it’s too late?

I have done one of these in a few weeks, have I?  Shame on me, because I’ve read some pretty awesome books!  Not least of which is Spell Bound, the final book in the Hex Hall series, by Rachel Hawkins.

Let’s not play coy here.  It’s no secret that I love reading trilogies (well, series in general).  There’s so much more room to get invested in a character and a world with more than one book.  But I also find that it leads me to expect more and more from each subsequent novel as I fall more and more into this reality.

The good news is, this one doesn’t disappoint.  Hawkins has done a masterful job pulling every plot thread together for a WHAM-POW ending to this series.

With deception and secrets around every corner, there isn’t a dull moment in this book.  It was a great wrap-up to a fun and compelling series.

Have any of you read the series?  Did you enjoy the final installment?
