After last year's crazy semester, Sophie's father is coming to Hex Hall. Sophie's nervous. She's never met her father; plus, he's the head of the magical council. He arrives just in time to see her survive yet another catastrophe - one that put her life on the line, again.

After witnessing what demons can do, Sophie's determined to have her powers removed. However, as head of the Council, her father must agree to the procedure. He's not giving her permission. Instead, he's taking her to England for the summer.

This time together will be a chance for father/daughter bonding time, as well as a chance for Sophie to learn more about herself. She prepares for an easy summer with her BFF, Jenna (a vampire), by her side. She's blindsided by the knowledge that someone's raising demons for weapons, and that her ex-crush, Archer, can't stay away from her, even if it means putting his life in danger.

DEMONGLASS is an entertaining and engrossing read that kept me on the edge of my seat for most of the book. I loved the plot twists, the romance triangle, the layers of magic and knowledge, and Sophie's snark and wit. I also loved watching the relationship develop between Sophie and her father. Plus, it ends on a huge cliffhanger that torments readers who are already eager for book three!
