Title: The Poison Throne (The Moorehawke Trilogy #1)Author: Celine Kiernan
Genre: Fantasy
Published: This edition: April 7, 2010 (first published October 13, 2008)
Young Wynter Moorehaw returns to court with her dying father - but she finds her old home shadowed with fear. The king has become a violent despot, terrorizing those he once loved. His son and heir Alberon has fled into exile and now there are whispers everywhere of rebellion. Meanwhile, Alberon's half-brother Razi has been elevated to his throne. He struggles to meet his King's demands while remaining loyal to his beloved brother and to his friend-Wynter.
And at the heart of matters is a secret that no one dares speak of. A secret so large it could tear the kingdom in two and Wynter is the key. Her father lies dying. Her king is mad. Her friends are divided.
She must choose- her father or her dreams, her friend or her king, her duty... or her love.
Title: Hex Hall
Author: Rachel Hawkins
Genre: YA
Published: March 2, 2010
When Sophie Mercer turned thirteen, she discovered that she was a witch. It's gotten her into a few scrapes. Her non-Gifted mother has been as supportive as possible, consulting Sophie's estranged father - an elusive European warlock - only when necessary. But when Sophie attracts too much human attention for a prom-night spell gone horribly wrong, it's her dad who decides her punishment: exile to Hecate Hall, an isolated reform school for wayward prodigium, a.k.a. witches, fae, and shapeshifters.
By the end of her first day among fellow freak-teens, Sophie has quite a scorecard. Three powerful enemies who look like supermodels; a futile crush on a gorgeous warlock; a creepy, tag-along ghost; and a new roommate, who happens to be the most-hated person and only vampire on campus. Sophie soon learns that a mysterious predator has been attacking students, and her friend Jenna is the number one suspect.
Meanwhile, Sophie has a more personal shock to grapple with. Not only is her father the head of the prodigium council, he's the most powerful warlock in the world, and Sophie is his heir. As a series of blood-curdling mysteries starts to converge, Sophie prepares for the biggest threat of all: an ancient secret society determined to destroy all prodigium, especially her.

I *want* both of those too! Seriously, there are too many buzz on the net regarding Hex Hall these days and I was like - OMG, when am I going to get my hand on this one and being outside of the States, it might takes MONTHS for it to be here :((
As for the first book, I've never heard of it before but I love that kind of premise! Here's hoping that you'll get your hands on those books pretty soon!

AWESOME wishlist, Hex Hall was soo good, I really enjoyed it, I hope you do too - the 2nd one I had not heard about, gotta go check that one out! :)
Hectic can be good right?
I kept putting off Hex Hall because the cover just didn't appeal to me as anything other than tween private-school wangst...but I just reread the summary and it actually sounds interesting
Poison Throne sounds pretty cool too =D
