After reading the blurb: <3And OMG. The cover. O_OGive me the book now. :(
THE REVIEWWhy this book?I liked Rachel Hawkins Hex Hall Trilogy What I thoughtThis book leaves you wanting more, there’s so much left unresolved. That being said I really enjoyed this book, the characters were great, I loved Dex. The plot was fun and entertaining. It was interesting seeing Izzy living in the real world. The funniest part was when she figured out that girls go the bathroom together. My ex used to make fun of me for that alot lol. It needed more romance but what we got was sweet.
3.5 stars - I was happy with School Spirits but had to round down because I think book 1 of Hex Hall was just a little bit better.If you took the offbeat humor from Hex Hall and incorporated elements from Snow White (talking mirror), Vampire Academy (dreamwalking), and Anna Dressed in Blood (ghost hunting), you'll end up with the peculiar formula for School Spirits. The rest of the day passed uneventfully. I guess after you've beaten someone up with a dodgeball and flirted with a monster,...
I received this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. I rate this book 4.5 stars.I'd been meaning to read a book by Rachel Hawkins as people have loved her Hex Hall series (still need to read that), and boy, am I glad I did! School Spirits centers on Isolde Brannick, who is one of the few remaining evil hunters in the world. Little does she know that fate will have her going to... high school for the very first time. The job is this-- to rid the school of a menacing ghost that ha...
2.5 starsMeh.I just don't really have a whole lot of feelings about this book, good or bad. It's one of those inoffensive, decently written book with a heroine and antagonists lackluster enough so that I've little about which to complain. Everything is average. The writing is decent. I don't love it. I don't hate it. I can read it all the way through without getting so bored that I switch to another book on my ereader.School Spirits is a spin-off of Rachel Hawkins' other YA series, Hex Hall. We
YAHOOOOO! thank u,racheal hawkins!!i felt unsatisfied by just 3 books.The ideal comparison 4 this series shall b "bloodlines"the vampire academy spinoff was out just 8 months after original and was almost as good. it would be very interesting to see what happens in this series! so again, THANK YOU!if some fans feel it doesnt live up to original, it is mistake 2 make a spin off BLAH BLAH BLAHthen i just want to tell you-GO TO HELL! I AM REALLY ANTICIPATING THIS!update..thank u all 4 liking this s...
10 freaking stars.THAT WAS ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS I'VE READ THIS YEAR. Ugh, loved it so hard! I want more of Izzy and Dex! - especially Dex! <3 I want MORE MORRRE MOAAAAR!! One cannot simply have enough of Rachel Hawkins and her fabulousness.I can't wait till Rebel Belle comes out!All of you Hex Hall lovers should definitely read this! It doesn't disappoint, in fact-- Ms. Hawkins never disappoints. <3NEW UPDATE GUYS. 15th February, 2013!Rachel gives us a new sneak peek of School Spirits!Before I
I'm actually very disappointed. Years ago when I finished the Hex Hall series I was excited for this one but never read it. So, after the Hex Hall re-reading, I just had I decided to tackle down this one as well. Bad decision. The thing is if there was a time between reading the Hex Hall and this one I think the disappointment would be smaller. The thing that is missing the most is Sophie's humour. Izzy is dull in comparison with Sophie, and I realised that Sophie's smart comments (and Archer's
3.5 stars The story about Prodigium and Brannicks from the enjoyable Hex Hall series continues in this book but this time, Isolde or “Izzy”, Sophie’s (the famous Sophie of Hex Hall series) cousin becomes the heroine.Izzy is a trained assassin of dangerous otherworldly creatures and was born to do nothing but rid the world of evil. Nothing seems to scare her except uhm, high school. Can’t blame the poor girl. Lol. Unluckily, Izzy has to immerse herself in Mary Evans High School or MEH (lol!) for
3.5 stars Confession time: as someone who is still suffering from Archer withdrawals a big fan of the first two Hex Hall books, I was a little nervous about the prospect of a spinoff series. I'm happy to report that School Spirits finds the author back in fine form, this time with a character that was introduced in Spell Bound.Remember the girl who talked to the Torin, the guy stuck in the mirror? Izzy Brannick is now fifteen, and her family has a long history as hunters of supernatural creature...
A 3.5 star rating for sure! It missed that snazz of Sophie's sarcastic humor, but it still had that action and intrigue that I love in Rachel Hawkin's writing style. School Spirits had that touch of silly humor as readers will see right in the beginning in the first chapter. The story starts after a chapter or so with Izzy taking a turn for new, when she attends high school in order to solve a mystery and take care of it the Brannick way! To intrigue you, the mystery is that a ghost is slowly tr...
We all must have either heard of or read Rachel Hawkins' Hex Hall series. That being said, the main characters Miss Hawkins had created in that series, Sophie, ended up becoming one of my most admired and favorite "bookish" role models/heroines for life. Now, let's go down one, two, or five levels from that awesomeness and we arrive at School Spirits. I'm not saying I didn't enjoy this book but I recommend not going into this book with your 'spirits' set high (haha, you see what I did there?). I...
Ya gotta be kidding me??? This isn't a series??? Wha??? I need to know more! More story! More Dex! More Torin!!!!Seriously, this is my fav book of the whole Hex Hall tales XD Always loved the Brannick family, and finally got a story of theirs! Aaaand more of the mysterious Torin!!! XDYeah, def need another book, because have to figure out why Torin says that Izzy is the one to release him, what happens to Dex as he lives with a monster-hunting family...
Also find this review on Don't Stop Readin'I’d give this 3 stars, because it wasn’t that bad, (but yeah, it was pretty bad) – BUT I had given Spellbound and Demonglass 3 stars and when compared School Spirits to them, it deserves nothing more than 2.Like I said, this was pretty bad. First of all, Izzy wasn’t even slightly cool. She was a badass, but a boring badass, and what use it that? We all loved Sophie in Hex Hall because she was soooo funny but its like Izzy doesn’t even know w...
Fun fun fun! I simply adored Rachel Hawkins series, Hex Hall, and was rather sad when it finally came to an end, but I was happy to learn that we were getting a spin-off. I wasn't ready to let go of this world just yet and I'm happy to say that Hawkins hasn't lost her touch. School Spirits is just as fun and marvelous as I'd hope it would be. Like all the Brannick women, with their fierce green eyes and blazing red hair, sixteen year old Isolde has all the wonderful traits that comes with huntin...
