The Ex Hex (The Ex Hex Book 1)
Rating : ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“The best cure for anything was candles and a bath...”
“There’s no really good timing for this kind of thing, is there? Finding your person? It just kind of happens when it happens. Or so they say."
“I am mad about you, Vivienne Jones. Again. Or maybe I should say still, because I'm gonna be real honest with you here, cariad. I don't think it ever went away.”
------------------------------------------------
I picked this book up without much prior knowledge, but I found this was such a cute seasonal book! A witchy spin on a second chance romance. It had lovable characters, a cute setting (North Georgia Mountains/my home state), and strong "practical magic" vibes, which I loved.
I found Rhys' dry, quipy humor funny and his personality extremely charming. Also, his nickname for Vivi, the fmc, had me swooning. I also really enjoyed Vivi. She reminded me of myself in a way. Responsible, independent, and sometimes on the outside of social groups. I thought these two had an undeniable connection from the start, and I loved reading their story.

Ultimate October cozy romcom read. I don't know why I have put off reading this book for so many years. It was better than I expected but nothing groundbreaking. Just a good witchy romcom

I thought the concept of the book was really cute, but the actual story wasn’t my cup of tea, unfortunately.

This is a cutesy spicy romance with a touch of heartbroken, vengeful hexing 😏 Perfect for the Halloween season as it is set right before and on Halloween. Beware of broken-down cars, crumbling statues, hot feelings, enchanted skulls, black cats, poisoned drinks, ghosts, and family secrets! I had so much fun listening to this and have added it to my "Want to own" list. I'll probably get around to listening to "The Kiss Curse" which is book 2, which revolves around Vivien's cousin, Gwyn. My ratings for spice, romance, and mystery are 🌶️🌶️🌶️/💖💖/🔎🔎
