Sophie Mercer thought she had her witch powers under control—until a magical mishap at prom lands her at Hex Hall, a hidden reform school for supernatural troublemakers. Surrounded by gorgeous (and hostile) witches, faeries, and shapeshifters, Sophie quickly makes enemies, develops an inconvenient crush, and somehow befriends the school's most despised vampire student. When mysterious attacks start plaguing the campus and her only friend becomes the prime suspect, Sophie realizes that the real danger might be something far darker than teenage supernatural drama—an ancient force that wants all magic-users erased from existence. This is the perfect blend of witchy hijinks, genuine mystery, and found-family warmth that'll have you racing to turn the pages!
Reading soundtrack
Mysterious yet romantic indie-pop with ethereal indie-folk undertones. Think Florence + The Machine's dreamy production, Phoebe Bridgers' vulnerability, and Clairo's soft magic. Supernatural tension wrapped in sweet, yearning melodies—perfect for magical academies and reluctant crushes.
