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.

Vivienne and her cousin sort of accidentally curse Vivi’s now ex-boyfriend when he drops a bomb on her- that his father is arranging a marriage for him. Nothing really happens for nine years but as soon as Rhys returns to that magical little town to charge the ley lines, bad things start to happen including multiple near death experiences, plastic skulls coming to life, and unleashing a ghost that really hates Rhys and his family. The pair must work together to cleanse the town of this curse while dealing with their lingering attraction to each other.

This was a really cute, quick read with good witchy vibes without getting super intense about rules of magic in this universe. The side characters are fun but a little flat. Rhys and Vivi make a cute pair but they do suffer from a bad case of Not Talking About Your Feelings Even Though It Would Fix A Lot Of Your Problems. Overall, the plot was pretty predictable and the end was wrapped up really quickly. It’s worth a read if you like slightly cozy witchy reads that don’t take themselves too seriously.

 “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.

this was such a cute, but sexy, romcom, i loved it! it was a little slow at first, and there were a few cringey phrases, but overall i loved the story and the characters! vivi is such a badass, i love seeing an older main character who really knows what she wants and who she is, i’m so fed up of seeing girls walked over in romances so this was so refreshing. rhys was a lovely, respectful and funny love interest, and i loved the dual perspective. gwynn and elaine were such great side characters, they felt so warm and welcoming, and the overall graves glenn was such a great setting. the book spoke about a lot of prominent issues such as female historical erasure, and consent in sex while still being light and funny, and overall i had a great time reading. i’ll deffo be reading the next one, loved how it made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside!!

Although some plot points are rushed, this is a charming book with some good tension and spook factor.
