I did not expect to love this one more than the first, but I did!!! I adored getting to know Gwyn and Wells and really loved their characters from the get go, and I love the character development throughout. Their personalities felt realistic yet unique to read about, and I appreciated how reasonable and mature they both were, even with the third act conflict of their relationship. They started as soft enemies to rivals to allies to lovers and I loved it!! They didn’t spend excessive energy hating each other to keep the plot going which I appreciated. I also loved Sir Purrcival and the baby witches. There were a few twists towards the end (some I foresaw and some I didn’t), but I felt like the climax and resolution happened too fast. But other than that, I loved everything about this cozy witchy romance with a solid plot! The audiobook was better too because the Welsh accents were more prominent on this book than the last. I’m excited to see where the story goes in another book (hopefully!)

I liked this one better than the first book in this series, The Ex Hex, especially the first half of the book, which was lighthearted, fun, and filled with that enemies-to-lovers tension. It did slow down at the midpoint for me though, and I just lost steam for the rest of the book. I did appreciate the mystery element in this one and if you’re looking for a lighthearted, witchy read with a bit of spice, then this book will be for you.

Very fun read. Required some suspension of disbelief - and not just on the magic front - but very cute. The Baby Witches and Purrcival made great side characters.

Cute, funny, charming, all around an enjoyable read. I feel like i   laughed more with the ex hex and the plot to ex hex was a bit more complex, but this is solidly in the same vibe.

This book was just as fun as the first one. I really enjoyed Gwyn and Wells as the main characters. Also, more of Sir Percival was exactly what I needed.

This was very similar to the Ex Hex. I found it to be a very light witchy romance book. It was relatively predictable until the end. Then there was a twist I didn’t see coming. The chemistry of the two leads were great. I loved how prim and proper Wells was. I love that Gwen gets under his skin. It’s worth a read!
