Hex Appeal by Kate Johnson
3.0
Hex Appeal has a plot that drew me in - witch Essie Winterscale lives with her coven in a hidden house called Bedlam in Essex. Until one day the house's new owner Josh comes to claim his inheritance and back-rent after discovering none has been paid in over 100 years.
I really thought I'd get into this, but, unfortunately this book just wasn't for me. I found it slow to get into and once the story started to develop I just found I wasn't as invested in the characters and their journey. I think there was just a lot going on with each of the house inhabitants that took away too much time.
I cannot fault the writing, especially the dialogue, but this was just a miss for me. My three star rating though is for the fact this book *is* for someone else, and judging by others I am in the minority! I just can't give it a one or two star because I didn't dislike it, just didn't gel and that is no fault of the author, whom I would still give another go.
