This was such an easy, fun, and enjoyable read, perfect for October. I loved Max and Delia as characters and I enjoyed that it was dual narration in the audiobook. I definitely plan to check out more of Carly Bloom's books in the future!

“You don’t fall in love [...] It’s a decision.” From this paragraph, I knew this book would be for me. Sure, the sections leading up to it with the magic soup that never did any good, the elderly oddballs that insisted they were witches, and the sweet but long-suffering female lead happy to play along with the madness were all great. But the moment Max said these words, I knew I was going to have fun watching him fall. And lord was I right.

While I don’t usually go for books with one character overtly lying to the other, in this case, I couldn’t help but like Max despite his omissions and obfuscations. He was so stupid about all things love and human emotion, about happiness and joy. About the very idea of enjoying unserious things that I couldn’t help but like him. Paired with Delia, who was rarely very serious and loved most things ridiculous despite not believing in it, it was a perfect match.

Hot Hex Boyfriend included so many of my favorite things from the Grumpy/Sunshine trope, a man too dumb in love, meddling and outrageous family members, down to the cat familiar. There was not one thing I did not enjoy about this read. I very rarely take a chance on ARCs by authors I don't know but this was one case I was very happy I made the exception.

Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC

This was such a sweet and adorable book. There are times when it's a bit cheesy and it took me a bit to get hooked, but once I did, I was in deep. It made me laugh, tear up, and fan my face and that's pretty much all of my favorite things in a book! The plot was somewhat predictable but easy to follow and endearing. The characters are so easy to love.
