After having immediately read & adored the first book, I quickly dove into Demonglass. While this book was ultimately a good read, I have to admit that I felt like it stumbled a bit here & there. 
 First the good. Like Hex Hall, Demonglass was incredibly fun & easy to immerse myself in. The characters are still endearing & I found that I really did love the dynamics between the characters, especially the chemistry between Sophie & her betrothed. (Since this is spilled in the first chapters I'm not really counting this as a spoiler.) That chemistry is actually one of the stronger elements of the book since Hawkins actually makes it seem realistic enough to where I could actually see Sophie being a little torn between the two guys she feels drawn to. 
 Unfortunately there are a few places where the book stumbles, one of which is the rushed ending. Too much happens at once & I couldn't help but wish that it'd been a little better spaced out through the book or that there'd been about 10-20 extra pages to flesh it out. As a result the "big bad" reveal/showdown didn't have the bang it should have had & I felt a little underwhelmed. This also happened in the last book, so I really hope that Hawkins manages to work this out by the end of the series. I also got the "borrows from/inspired by other books" feeling from this book, although I will say that it doesn't really interfere with my enjoyment of the book. 
 Overall this was a decent read & I'll definitely be reading the next book in the series when it gets released next year. I just hope that it doesn't fall prey to the rushed ending that the first two books have had & that Hawkins does a better job of pacing herself.
