The Crying Spell!

 Crying is a response that humans have to a certain emotional triggers. Sometimes we cry because we are sad and other times due to euphoria. There is never an equilibrium between the two only one extreme or the next. Whether happiness has a hook or depression is clawing its way through your tear ducts, crying isn't a weakness. Its a perfectly normal response that we use in all walks of life.

 I'm an emotional guy to say the least. I've always worn my heart on my shoulder when it came to everyday life. Whether it was seeing a homeless person and attempting not to tear up, getting picked on in elementary school by a little girl that was a grade below me, getting a VERY stern yelling from my father, or even a casual conversation with a lover... The "feels" always seem to show. I just can't help it.

 When I read, depending upon the book, I either hate or love a character that cries. Whether it's from something sad like a pet who has recently become deceased or a lover proposing, the crying is suitable for the circumstance. Nine times out of ten, I hate when the damsel in distress lets her tears escape just by being saved by the heroic man. It's the 20th century... Let the girl save the guy for once! In any case, I have times where I enjoy when the character cries not so much because I'm a terrible guy for laughing but because I enjoy the character better when I am able to relate to the character as to why they are bursting at the seams.

 I love when books take me on an emotional roller coaster that doesn't seem to show where the next turn will be. It's crazy how reading a book can really snap you into a mindset of sadness, happy times, or full blown rage. Emotions, emotions, emotions are really all I feel when I pick up a great book. I mostly laugh while I turn pages but not this time... This time I had a ugly cry face the whole time I read it. Speaking of tears, there are not many books that have made me shed a tear of sadness but one in particular I'm going to share with you today. It's a series called

                            Hex Hall

            Written by Rachel Hawkins

It's a fantastic series about a girl by the name of Sohpie Mercer who is a witch, or so she thinks that is the actual species gene behind her powers. She moves to a new school where she is able to harness her powers while making friends with her Vampire roommate! Learns how to travel through an Iternis which is literally a tear between space and time... It drains the person that travels through. She communicates with a wizard trapped in a mirror that seems to be her go to friend when she wants information. Has an arch nemesis by the name of Archer... She attends a secret supernatural club where at one point it is over run with agents from the secret task force known as L'ochhio del Dio or The eye of God!

This book series is a literal mind/emotional #€%? that will be leaving you wishing for more. It's my all time favorite series that I go to for recommendations because I loved the characters as though they were my own friends. I've never fully meshed with fictitious people from such a wonderful world as this. Rachel Hawkins is a writing genius in how she developed the perfect world of Hex Hall. Each book unlocks secret that will then pitch you into the next book with a domino effect storyline. I know you'll love this series as much as I did because it is a beautiful series that is unlike any other.
