Spell Bound

*Contains spoilers for first and second books*

Hailed as “impossible to put down,” the Hex Hall series has both critics and teens cheering. With a winning combination of romance, action, magic and humor, this third volume will leave readers enchanted. 

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? (from Goodreads)

I couldn't put this book down. It was great. I wasn't hating on Archer, Cal was great, Sophie was sarcastic and funny, and Elodie was great. Five stars for sure! I thought. 

And then I got to the ending. 

Something happens. Something bad happens. Something really, really bad happens.

And then the book just ends.

Poof! No closure, explanation, nothing. 

This is the perfect example of how a bad ending can spoil a book.

But because the first two-thirds were great, this is getting a 3/5.
