Hello readers!!
Plot:
What happens when you mix vodka with magic? A curse on your horrible ex-boyfriend. Nine years ago, a heartbroken witch, Vivienne Jones, cursed her ex boyfriend after he broke her heart. Of course she didn’t actually mean him any real harm, just a couple of bad hair days is all. Now when Rhys Penhallow, also a witch, has to return back to Graves Glen, Georgia, as a descendant of the town’s ancestors, everything goes wrong the moment he enters the town. When things get chaotic during the fall festival, Vivi realizes her silly Ex Hex may not be as harmless as she thought. To save Graves Glen from further chaos Vivi and Rhys must work together to undo the curse.
BOOK THOUGHTS:
“There’s no really good timing for this kind of thing, is there? Finding your person? It just kind of happens when it happens. Or so they say.” – Erin Sterling, The Ex Hex
Vivi and Rhys have charming chemistry throughout this novel. The back and forth bickering yet still being able to work as a team and finding each other irresistible all at the same time. This is an enemies to lovers and second chance romance trope. Probably more second chance than enemies to lovers but you get a bit of both of these tropes.
This book is perfect for spooky season! Or as Esther Fung said, this book is for, “girlies who love halloween but don’t want to be too scared to go pee at 3 am.” I’m glad I saw this book on Esther’s insta page and gave this book a chance. Listening to this book took me to a world similar to halloweentown, except this one was focused more on romance.
The supporting characters were memorable. Usually in romance books the main leads are the main focus and the rest of the characters blur into the background. However, the supporting characters in, “The Ex Hex,” were written really well by Erin Sterling. Vivi’s cousin and aunt, Rhys’s dad and brother, the cafe owner/employee, and the ghost were all well written in this book. Their roles were short but memorable.
I’m not the biggest fan of spice in books but this book had just the right amount. So if you like spice in books but not too much that it’s overbearing on the plot then you will like this book. The romance between Vivi and Rhys was nontoxic and their communication was quite cute.
“The Ex Hex,” is a fast-paced read or listen. I listened to this book at a speed of 1.5 to 1.75. I enjoyed listening to this book. it brought back feelings from the Halloweentown Movies, and I just loved the chemistry between Vivi and Rhys.
I hope you enjoyed reading this review!!!
