Rachel Hawkins writes young adult fantasy and adult suspense, with a catalogue that moves between school-based magic and domestic gothic fiction. Hex Hall follows Sophie Mercer after a spell goes wrong and she is sent to a reform school for witches, shapeshifters and other supernatural teenagers. The series mixes magical mystery, friendship and romance with a light, conversational tone. In adult fiction, The Wife Upstairs reworks elements of Jane Eyre in a wealthy Southern neighbourhood, while Reckless Girls places a group of travellers on an isolated Pacific island where secrets begin to surface. Hawkins's books are accessible and plot-led, but the reading experience changes markedly by series: comic paranormal YA on one side, twisty domestic or destination suspense on the other.
