Sophie Mercer's first term at Hex Hall turned out to be quite eventful. First the ghost of her evil grandmother haunted her every move, then her best friend was accused of murder and of course there was the discovery that Archer Cross, aka the boy of her dreams, was actually an undercover demon hunter - which would probably be something she could have worked on, if she hadn't also discovered that she was actually the demon Archer was hunting…
So, despite their issues, Sophie is actually relieved to be spending the summer in London with her father. But when your father is Head of The Council of Prodigium and your summer is being spent at the headquarters of everything magical, then a quiet holiday isn't really that likely. And, as Sophie struggles to come to terms with her new found demon powers, she finds herself thrust once again into a world of dark magic and conspiracies. The only thing that could possibly make things more complicated would be for Archer Cross to show up again, which of course he wouldn't, would he?

After starting out the her new school year with murders, a ghost haunting her and killing said ghost, and a boy of her dreams turning out to a demon hunter, Sophie's battle has only just begun.
She's summoned to her fathers house for the summer, and thankfully, she's allowed to bring her friend Jenna (Vampire) and the grounds keeper Cal, who we find out is her destined mate.
Now, let me get one thing put out there, I LOVED Cal. I desperately wanted these two together. They had more of a connection than Archer, who makes an appearance in this book, showing Sophie she can trust him.
But things are more complicated than Sophie first imaged. There are secrets, an enemy seeking revenge and dark magic surfacing.
The plot thickens in this book and once again, we're left hanging with another cliff hanger, a good one LOL
