A majority of the book I did like. The premise of curing an ex-boyfriend was funny. Vivi and Rhy figuring out how to life the curse was also a good time. Everything kind of wrapped up quicker than it should have. It’s like in ten pages, they suddenly figured out how to lift the curse and boom, that’s it. Cue the credits.

The book should have been a little longer with more detail. I will not be continuing the series, unfortunately.

A fast paced, magic and passion fueled book about relationships gone wonky. The Ex Hex is perfect for curling up on the sofa with a cup of tea to read a slice of life romance style novel with magical hijinks involved for good measure.
I really enjoyed the ease I found myself being able to read this book, it felt like flying through the pages while not making the book feel very short overall. I felt like I could relate to the book as not only is it set in our world but also has links to Wales, where I have lived for a short while previously.
On the other hand, I personally don't think the epilogue was necessary to make this story complete, without spoiling anything, I realise without this final chapter the tone of the ending would have been completly different if not totally opposite feeling. But it still would have been a complete book in my eyes.
I would recommend The Ex Hex for anyone looking for a lighthearted, amusing romance story. I feel this book makes a great change of pace for those who tend to read more fantasy and complex stories, in comparision this book feels like a breath of fresh air and a good change of pace.

“Never mix vodka and witchcraft”

I found this book in a local bookstore, and it seemed like something that I would like. I have seen it around on social media, and seem like a lighthearted romance involving witches. Do I like romance? Yes. Do I like witches? Absolutely!

Look, this isn't a bad book, in any way. But there is something about second-chances books that I can't seem to like. I think that the only book of this kind that I absolutely love is Persuasion, by Austen. The characters are interesting and funny at times, the book has a good structure, and the story is interesting enough, but, to me, it was just "meh". However, I think that this is more of me problem than a book problem. Therefore, I'm giving it a 3.5 stars rating (but I'm being a bit generous). I can also say that this has fall vibes all over, so if you like romances with fall vibes, maybe give this one a chance.

Now, the question is: will I read The Kiss Curse? Yes, probably. It seems like an enemies-to-lovers romance and that's my favorite kind of romance.
