Isn't this a fabulous book cover?
Helena Wayward (Hex) is the 7th born of the 7th born and 7th born. (Did you get that?) The Waywards are witches, and this family is particularly powerful. Hex is destined to be a powerful witch. But she was born with no powers. She's an embarrassment.
At a family wedding, the dark magic she never knew existed within her, comes out, killing a rival family member. This new sudden power catches the eye of Valentine, and she spends a year with him, getting in touch with her dark side. But, she doesn't want to embrace her evil side and runs away.
So now Hex is in hiding. There's a bloodprice on her head. Valentine wants her dead. Others want him dead and feel she's the one to do it.
And all this time, she's a high school junior.
This was a hard one to follow. At times she hates the evil her family wants her embrace and then she embraces it. But she's a wonderful character and I did enjoy it.

Sounds pretty creepy, yet intriguing.
