Some Books Ago is a shout out to all those books published some years ago. I don't want you to forget them!
I still find it weird when I see I gave one book 5 stars and then I didn't read the rest of the series. That's what happened with Hex Hall, according to my mini-review, I loved it. I thought it was funny and refreshing and cute. But I didn't read the sequel and I don't even remember why.
Anyway, have you read Hex Hall? If you're a fan of Rebel Belle and haven't read this series, YOU SHOULD. From what I remember both are really good.
Summary:
Three years ago, Sophie
Mercer discovered that she was a witch. It's gotten her into a few
scrapes. Her non-gifted mother has been as supportive as possible,
consulting Sophie's estranged father—an elusive European warlock—only
when necessary. But when Sophie attracts too much human attention for a
prom-night spell gone horribly wrong, it's her dad who decides her
punishment: exile to Hex Hall, an isolated reform school for wayward
Prodigium, a.k.a. witches, faeries, and shapeshifters.
By the end of
her first day among fellow freak-teens, Sophie has quite a scorecard:
three powerful enemies who look like supermodels, a futile crush on a
gorgeous warlock, a creepy tag-along ghost, and a new roommate who
happens to be the most hated person and only vampire student on campus.
Worse, Sophie soon learns that a mysterious predator has been attacking
students, and her only friend is the number-one suspect.
As a series of blood-curdling mysteries starts to converge, Sophie prepares for the biggest threat of all: an ancient secret society determined to destroy all Prodigium, especially her.

I remember seeing this book everywhere, years ago! I never read any of the books. Well, if you gave it five stars in the past, you probably loved it... you should reread it and see if you still feel the same way about it!
