The Ex Hex by Erin Sterling

4 stars! Spoiler free review!

What I was expecting from this book: cute dazzling charming male witch love interest with a British accent, relatable female witch who may be just a little bit messy, a burning romance, all the cozy vibes and family wholesomeness. AND THAT’S WHAT I GOT.

• So look, I didn’t go into this book wanting the most breathtaking complicated witchy magical romance. I wanted fun and sexy and *minimally * spooky and that’s what this gave me.

• I liked all the characters!

  • Vivienne is actually an undiagnosed badass who is also funny? Yes please.

  • Her relationship with Gwyn and Elaine is full of love and wholesomeness, and they themselves also have great wit.

  • Rhys is honestly there to take all the jabs from them (despite the fact that I think he didn’t do anything crazy wrong, just young people kinda mistakes yenno?). Rhys, with his “hair thing,” is trying to right his wrongs and is just a regular ‘ol good man.

• The plot was fast paced and easy to read to pull you right out a slump if you were in one. Let’s be honest, it’s wasn’t anything profound and no hard hitting topics were discussed, but we weren’t here for that.

• The romance was exactly what you'd expect — exciting, angsty, funny, and the spicy level was just about right, did not disappoint.

FUN + ROM COM + lovable characters. It’s the perfect romance for the spooky season if you didn’t already read it this past Halloween. Highly recommend even if you’re in a slump!
