Review: Hex: A Witch and Angel Tale by Ramona Wary

Like most girls at Rosemound High School, seventeen-year-old Lily Crane is acutely aware of Ryder Kingscott. Hands down the cutest guy in school, Ryder is cool, mysterious, and utterly untouchable…especially for Lily. For when she touches someone, Lily instantly learns all about their lives. And while such a skill might seem nifty, in truth it is wrecking Lily’s life. 

So she is shocked when Ryder asks her out — and even more shocked to discover he has a rival. Lucian Bell is the gorgeous new kid who can’t take his eyes off of Lily. Being pursued by two hotties should make a girl happy, but Lily is skeptical. The boys act as if they’ve met before, hating each other with a passion that could only be rooted in a dark, dangerous past. A past full of terrible secrets. The kind of secrets that could get a girl killed. (Goodreads)









Cover:
The Cover is Cute, but you know that old saying "Don't judge a book by its cover." Yeah, this is one of these times.




Plot:
The Cover might be pretty and pink, but the story is so much darker. And I loved just about every minute. You learn of Lily's secrete really early in the book which makes things interesting. Now she has two boys fighting over her. Which should really turn her on, but when Lucian and Ryder first talk, they talk like they have met before and that there is something that they are involved in that could change things. 


I can't tell you to much without going into spoiler territory. Which is bad. So I am just going to tell you the ending was really WTF for me, but the rest of the book was worth the read.


Characters:
I liked Lily. She is very unique since she avoids human contact. Her best friend, J, is crazy. Her outfit changes weekly depending on how she feels. I kinda hated both Lucian and Ryder. I couldn't tell who was who, or who was hiding what. But they grew on you. The are strong confident characters.
