Sophie Mercer thought she was a witch*.

    That was the whole reason she was sent to Hex Hall, a reform school for Prodigium (aka witches, shapeshifters, and fairies). But that was before she discovered the family secret, and that her hot crush*, Archer Cross, is an agent for The Eye, a group bent on wiping Prodigium off the face of the earth.

    It turns out, Sophie is 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. So Sophie decides she must go to London for the Removal, a dangerous procedure* that will destroy her powers.

    Once Sophie arrives she makes a shocking discovery. Her new friends? They’re demons too. Meaning someone is raising them in secret with secret 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.

    “Demonglass” is the second novel in Rachel Hawkins’ “Hex Hall” series, the first being “Hex Hall.”

    Hawkins was born in Virginia and raised in Alabama. After graduating from Auburn University, she became a high school English teacher. In 2007, she quit teaching to pursue writing full time. (SD-Agencies)
