Reviews with content warning for Abandonment - Ex Hex – Csiribú, szerelem!

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.

I’m pleasantly surprised by this book! Honestly, I was very high on opioid pain medication after getting a procedure done on my toe & really wanted to read something with cozy, witchy, autumnal vibes & a sprinkle of romance & I decided to pick this up with quite low expectations as an easy read of sorts. Honestly, I really loved the vibes of this book & it really did give “halloweentown but they fuck” as the author blurbed lmao. I do have to -.5⭐️ for some rather cringe/silly writing at times, & also -.5⭐️ for some pretty generic Harry Potter references that I wish we would just let die however

Thank you to NetGalley, LibroFM, and the publisher for advanced review copies of the ebook and audiobook.

For the audiobook:
This has to be one of the worst narrators I've heard. The narrator used the same voice for all characters, even though several were Welsh, they all had the same nasally voice. Worse, the narrator ended nearly every sentence on an upward inflection. Every sentence was a question? Even if it wasn't a question? It made it very frustrating and annoying to listen to?

I beg future readers: DO NOT LISTEN TO THIS ON AUDIO! Read the book instead.

For the text:
I enjoyed the story but felt it was a little simplistic. I wanted more from it and thought it wrapped up a little too easily. While it was a fun and charming story, I wanted it to be more - more magical, more charming small town, more about the college - more.
