And she does it again, coming in hot with this banger. 😍
The final book in the standalone Never After series, Hexed is all about The Little mermaid. This is NOT a retelling though, but more of a fractured modern day fairytale based off of those characters.
This book was perfect, it was a little less dark than some of her predecessors, but that’s okay, it did not break the book or my rating. Enzo is a complete cinnamon roll for his girl and it is adorable.
The story moved along nicely, the characters were all well written, even the ones I hated. The relationship between Enzo and Yrsa was beautiful in every single way. They were the definition of fated and I love that for them. The spice was 🥵, as expected. My only issue was the character profiles at the end, this book added many unnecessary and boring parts to those in this book to the point where it extended them for whole pages just for useless blather. I skimmed through those though and they are at the end, so it didn’t bring down my rating. I am also sad, these stories are now done and we will never get another. But all good things must come to an end and Emily has another series I need to explore asap!
And “Jessica’s” part? Bro! iykyk, and as a Jessica, I love how the other Jessica has been thoroughly dragged now. 😂
Thank you so much for an earc of Hexed, I screamed when I got the e-mail and I am so grateful to have been chosen. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
