If you are like me, you love dogs and want to spend more time with them because they just get you.

This week's review has quite a few twists and turns for those who like a good fantasy novel that has mystery and spell casting!
Hex Hall by Rachel Hawkins
Sophie Mercer discovered that she is a witch mostly by accident. She has been kicked out of several schools for spells gone awry, and is about to be in big trouble with the witch council if she doesn’t get a handle on her magic spells. Her mother who is a non- witch decides to send her to Hex Hall where she can be polished up into a good little witch. The only thing that gets better is her love life and that is probably somewhat questionable because the guy she likes might a mysterious creature out to get her. Her new roommate is a creepy vampire and there is some kind of scary mystery on girls that are being killed at the school. All of this, and a ghost who is calling Sophie into the night to train her, brings forth the truth that will scare all kinds of ghost lovers. Those who are especially faint at heart should beware! Hawkins has written divine characters and an interesting plot that will keep all readers highly engaged. The sequel to Hex Hall called Demonglass will be released in March 2011.
