Hex Hall by Rachel Hawkins
3.0

A pretty interesting read, one I did in a single two hour sitting. The best thing about Hex Hall is that, unlike most recent YA, it didn't drag the story out. Two hundred or so pages was enough to set up the world, set up the plot, and follow through with it all.

There was some interesting world building, the romance subplot didn't want to make me tear my hair out, Sophie was actually a pretty decent protagonist, and even the typical Mean Girl vs Our Hero plot wasn't so bad.

It didn't get my motor running, that's all. I'm still interested in the world building and I'll be checking out the next book when it's out, for sure.
