Honestly perfectly serviceable. I came into this expecting a silly smutty witch story and what I got was a silly smutty witch story. 

Just gonna put this out here first before I get into what I liked. It's not bad but there are just some points where I was squinting my eyes. Rhys leering at Vivi all the time, Vivi nearly killing Rhys and then wishing she had, Gwyn being best friend yes man. I'm all for some toxicity in books but it does bother me that it's portrayed as a perfectly acceptable thing. 
Like yea, it's fucked up that Rhys didn't tell Vivi about his potential betrothal but also throwing things at someone is just physical abuse. It ain't cute.

What was cute was once Rhys and Vivi started to get more into each other again. Them remembering all the good parts of their relationships. I'm all for second chance romances and this definitely hits the spot. 
It was funny and quirky. Sir Purrcival was a favorite of mine because what would a cat say if they could talk? You can probably guess. 

The overall plot was tied up pretty quick after they got together which was a bit jarring. It just felt a bit odd because like 90% of the book was leading up to the resolution (with copious romance). The resolution happens in like 5% and that's just that. 

Regardless, I'll definitely keep an eye out for a sale for the next one. I saw that it's for Gwyn and Wells and I'm intrigued. I'm a little sad that Gwyn isn't a lesbian like I thought but I'm all down for bi pan representation too! 

I cannot tell if this is well written or not since I am not a romance reader. As someone new to the romance genre, I would say it is very approachable and very funny. 

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. 

The Ex Hex was a decent, easy read. There were things I really enjoyed but also aspects I didn’t like as much. I enjoyed the enemies/exes to lovers romance between Vivienne and Rhys, the adventure they go on to get rid of the curse, and the sarcastic british humour by Rhys. I also loved the Welsh aspect to the novel, as I haven’t really seen that too much in other books I’ve read or heard of. One thing that confused me at the beginning was the setting - I couldn’t tell where the author wanted it to take place, Wales, or Georgia, USA. 

This was such a quick, light, fun read. The vibe it gave off to me was a Halloween Hallmark movie, but not squeaky clean. There was some adult content and some witchy magic. It's definitely a romance or rom com type book with some magic thrown it.

If you love romance or rom com books or looking for something light, this will be right up your alley. What brought my rating down is that it was a bit superficial for me, which is how I feel about most rom come style books anyway. I don't hate or dislike them by any means. They're just not normally my cup of tea.
