Hex Hall by Rachel Hawkins
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 tagalong 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.
why purchase an E-book?
- Travel. If you’re on the go a lot, you know how heavy regular titles are, particularly if you intend to finish one book while you are out and need to bring another book with you. E-books allow you to bring a whole library with you wherever you go. You can switch between titles with ease and the weight is lighter than a standard paperback.
- Storage. Those who own a lot of books know how much space they can take up, but with a reader or PC, your bookshelf is located on a small handheld device, your computer or on both. This will save you a lot of storage space and also means you have a backup if something happens to your books.
- Price. E-Books are often cheaper because there are no printing fees associated with them. In fact, you can find what you need right here on bargainbuyz™ for only R10, whereas paperback books almost always cost you a bit (not to mention the inconveniences that come with collecting them).
- Speed. When you buy an E-book, your reward is almost instantaneous. Whereas if you order a paperback book online you have to wait for it to arrive before the fun begins.
- Font adjustments. With an E-book, you can instantly change the size of your font. When your eyes feel strained after reading a paperback book too long, you have little choice but to stop reading. With an E-book, you can just change the font size and keep going. This is also a great feature for those who need large print books.
- Night reading. If you read in bed, an E-book may be a good option as it eliminates the need for an external light source. The brightness can also be adjusted to your requirements when reading an E-book.
- The environment. No trees are required to manufacture paper for the pages of E-books.
E-books promote Reading - which increases Knowledge - which Empowers - which increases one's level of Confidence
A Great Investment - by any standard - this is a Must Have !!
