A fresh, meaty, sink-your-teeth-in-and-hold-on-tight new adult fantasy series kicks off with King Hall… King Hall — where the Mysticals go to learn their craft, get their degrees, and transition into adulthood. And where four new Rulers will rise and meet their destinies. Lily Ruckler is adept at one thing: survival. Born a Mystical hybrid, her mere existence is forbidden, but her nightmare is only about to start. Fluke, happenstance, and a deep personal loss finds Lily deeply entrenched with those who would destroy her simply for existing — The Mystical Kings. Being named future Queen of the Shifters shoves Lily into the spotlight, making her one of the most visible Mysticals in the world. But with risk comes a certain solace — her burgeoning friendships with the other three Rulers: a wicked Vampire, a wild-child Mage, and a playboy Elemental. Backed by their faith and trust, Lily begins to relax into her new life. Then chaos erupts as the fragile peace between Commoners and Mysticals is broken, and suddenly Lily realises the greatest threat was never from within, and her fear takes on a new name: the Revolution.

Summary
Overall King Hall was more a story about friendships than about a revolution of mysticals vs commonrs as described in the book description. What I liked about the
book: I enjoyed the friendship between the main characters. There was a very moving scene where Lily voices her insecurities. The first scene where she
reveals one of her secrets was also well done with the reaction of her friends. I love it when a couple is so confident in their relationship that they do not get jealous as with Lily and Dominic. The telepathy between them was interesting. The funniest scene was when the friends had to baby sit. The author revealed secrets and
new info evenly throughout the book. What I did not like: Meaningless sex of 19 year old kids was casual and encouraged. 19 year olds drinking and getting drunk was
casual with no consequences. The second scene where Lily reveals another secret was over done. It made the first scene not as important and her remorse seem fake.
The story had a lot of potential for the YA market that is very hot right now, but the content is not what I would recommend for the YA market. In addition, I read that the author is not promoting it to the YA market because the sequel will border erotic. I would only recommend this book if you like a YA them with vampires, weres, shifters and do not mind discussions of meaning less sex and profanity throughout the book. I received King Hall from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
