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.

 “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.

This was really cute. I wasn’t sure how much I was going to enjoy a modern witchy love story, as I tend to go for more high fantasy type worlds, but this was really enjoyable. A quick read with a bit of spice. The plot did move really slow at some points and really fast at others, but overall - a good little comfort read. I kept thinking about how it would make a great movie.

This witchy book is fabulous! I devoured it in a couple of days during spooky season and I loved every bit of it. If you’re looking for something light, but spooky (no scares involved), this is the book for you! The Ex Hex is about a witch named Vivienne Jones who *accidentally* put a curse on her ex-boyfriend, Rhys Penhallow, for funsies and he doesn’t even know it. 
 
Fast forward nine years and Rhys has plans to return to Vivienne’s witchy town to recharge the town’s ley lines. But when Rhys arrives, Vivienne learns that her *for funsies* hex that she put on Rhys has some pretty strange consequences...I found The Ex Hex to be absolutely hilarious and a perfect read for spooky season, although this book is honestly perfect for any season.
