Such a cute and fun and feel-good witchy read. It’s not the most phenomenal writing and there are a couple of areas that could’ve been stretched out more, but it’s such a cozy autumn read I can’t help but love it

3.5 stars rounded up to 4

This was cute and perfect for the season and I blew through it in a day with a combination of ebook and audiobook.

I really liked both Wells and Gwyn and their entire relationship was so fun and sweet.

I enjoyed this book even more that the first one and will continue reading this author.

If you enjoyed the first book in the Ex Hex series, you will love this title, as well. The Kiss Curse brings the same witty banter between characters in the cozy setting of Graves Glen. I have never wanted to visit a fictional town more than the one where these books are set. This story would be a great fall read for those looking for something seasonal, but not scary.

This book has been on my wishlist ever since I finished the first book. I had it pre-ordered but Amazon refused to deliver it to me. I don't know why. So, when my mom and I visited Antwerp I've been spending the entire day checking bookstores to see if they might have this book somewhere. Without getting the book. And then I got a giftcard from another online store on my Birthday and they had the book! I could FINALLY dive in! (And then I waited almost 2 months to do so...)

If you loved the first book, you will certainly love this book too. Just like the first book this book is basically a romantic comedy with witches. Since there are witches involved the plot is a little more than just a romance, there is also something weird going on that needs to be solved by our main characters, but basically it's a lighthearted romantic cozy book with a slightly lit bit of mystery and I'm here to read countless more books like this.

The starring couple in this book also was amazing! In this case annoyance and love are emotions very similarly and from the start there is a certain kind of tension between these characters and we all know how it will end. I love their banter, the small and smart ways they use to just toy with the other and yet it never crosses a certain line because deep down that attraction and longing is already there and they don't really want the other to get hurt.

I also love the small bigger storyline that's for sure gonna be continued in a third book. I know Sterling didn't announce it and it's very possible she never writes this, but I do hope she loves this world, the magic and the possibilities as much as I do so she will also give the third brother his love story. She made a great start with giving him a purpose and a plot-line, a direct result of everything that happened in this book, and I'd love to read it.
