3.7 AVERAGE


Thank you to Carly Bloom, Hatchette Audio, and NetGalley for an audio eARC of Hot Hex Boyfriend.

Normally I am all for a sweet romance, but this book just did not do it for me. While I found I enjoyed certain parts, I just felt like this southern "charm" of this book was lost on me. The aunts, grandma, and even at times the main character were a bit too sickly sweet for me. So many of their interactions felt fake and forced. I did enjoy the appearance of Max's brother. His brand of comedic relief was on point for me. I often found that just when I was enjoying a certain part of the book, the dialogue would take me back down a peg.

While this may be a great book to some, it just wasn't it for me.

2.5 stars rounded up.

DNF @ 40%

I tried, but the writing and characters just didn't work for me. It sounded like a fun idea, but just wasn't executed well. The characters were very young-behaving, super insta-lovey and annoying.

Witchy magical October read! Loved the families and the best friend.

For all the millennial gals who didn’t quite get their witch fix from watching Practical Magic when October hit, this is a great book option that will scratch the itch! Where there was some spice in here, there was a ton of factual talk about and different types of witches and talk of covenant, etc. I found myself a tad confused and bored at certain times tbh. All that said it was a cute festive read for October and picked up as the story progressed. This is our October read for our #LITeralhotties book club so I’m hyped to hear the girlies’ thoughts

I'm rounding up from 3.5. The book was fun and had a very Hocus Pocus / Practical Magic vibe to it. But it wrapped up way too quickly at the end.
