This is the follow up to The Ex Hex, which was on my fall reading list last year and wound up getting 5 stars from me.
Automatic 2 stars for a character overcoming a previously described impossible task through sheer will. Huge book ick for me. Also generally not as good a plot as the first one idk
I found the first book in this series just okay, with a very predictable enemies to lovers romance that just wasn’t my thing, but I liked the witchy stuff and it was an enjoyable read. Well, everything I disliked about the first book, was doubled down on in the second book. I think it might have been worse to me bc I listened to the audiobook this time around and really found the narrator over the top dramatic. The way she said even the chapter titles really grated on me. Also ITS THE SAME BOOK AGAIN! Vivi’s cousin falls in love with Rhys’s brother? Enemies to lovers again? Also, Gwen is notably queer, yet this is another straight heteronormative romance? But you know what? I finished it, I kept reading. So o guess it can’t be that bad.
I enjoyed this one more than The Ex Hex. I liked Gwen and Wells better as a couple and the mystery and costs seemed high stakes. Also, Sir Purrcival is easily the best thing about this book. Looking forward to book 3.
