Totally adequate NYCer contemporary supernatural romance. Jaded demon veterinarian + witch trying to get it together.

2 POVs, characters are mid 30s, spicy, supernatural violence, rescued animals

The plot on these is always stronger than the vibe. Characters are all very fun.

Setup is cute, but there's a lot of poop talk upfront. Prose has a bit of stutter-stop throughout, but has sweetspots. Dialogue is usually pretty strong.

[Ending pace]
The couple has problems until the very end- there is no moment of peace or payoff for the relationship. I think you get like, two sentences post resolution of the main hurdle and I'm still not wildly clear on what happened with that plotline.

I followed everything else but the main relationship resolution was lore heavy wo lore explanation.

This was an adorable grumpy/sunshine novel. I really love a grumpy veterinarian. It's so easy to fall in love with a man caring for animals.

Not Your Ex's Hexes by April Asher
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Trained her whole life to be Prima, Rose Maxwell has ceded the title to her sister. Now she’s at odds with what to do with her life. After a serious misstep leads to her serving community service at an animal sanctuary, she finds herself attracted to her boss, half human, half demon, Damian Adams. Who also happens to be a previous one-night stand. Both agree they’re up for a friends-with-benefits only relationship.

This was entertaining, even though I didn’t feel the pull between the two MCs until almost halfway through the book. It wasn’t high on spice or witty banter. It was a cute story, though, and the perfect follow-up to Asher’s earlier book, Not the Witch You Wed. Perfect for Valentine’s Day reading.

I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for this ARC.
