The Ex Hex by Erin Sterling is all kinds of spine-tingling, bewitching fun and steamy romance.

Nine years ago, Vivienne Jones cast what she thought was a harmless and silly break-up curse upon breaker of hearts, Rhys Penhallow. Rhys is one of the descendants of the town’s ancestors and has returned to Graves Glen, Georgia to recharge the town’s ley lines. After a series of disastrous incidents, Vivi realizes her Ex Hex might not be so harmless after all. Vivi and Rhys work together to break the curse and save the town, all while discovering old family secrets and fighting their intense attraction, which hasn’t dimmed in all these years.

Vivi and Rhys have their issues to work through, including Vivi’s reluctance to completely accept magic. I love the journey these two go on. Despite being complete opposites, they learn that they can trust and rely on each other. And Rhys might just be the most charming witch ever! Rhys and Vivienne’s sparkling chemistry and banter, along with enchanting and witty secondary characters and a sprinkle of spookiness, will have you smiling and swooning as you read this story.

Erin Sterling has such a fantastic way with words that she pulls you right into this magical world. Graves Glen is a fun place that I wish was real so I could visit. But for now, I’ll settle for visiting through this delightful story, which will hopefully turn into a series. Rhys’s brother Bowen definitely has a story that I hope will be told soon because I seriously need to know what he’s been up to in the mountains. I’d also love for Vivi’s cousin Gwyn and Rhys’s eldest brother Wells to get their own stories, too.

Have you read this book yet? It has the perfect amount of sweet, spooky, and spicy fall vibes.
