Fun story, but felt at times like it was trying to do a few too many things in a short space of time. Will probably be too spicy for those who like closed door but tame to those who like their reads spicy. Felt lighthearted and cosy most of the time but then on a few occasions things got heavier (and not in the way those issues can be incorporated into a cosy setting).
Hmmm... 3.5 ⭐ Like I'm kinda here for this book and kinda eh. This is just a bit chaotic for me. I liked the writing style and vibes, it was cosy, funny and enjoyable. Just it felt like the plot just had a lot going on especially the last 1/3 and context was lacking in some bits leaving me a bit confused.
Finished reading on //2024: Will add my review soon.

Look, I thought I knew Essex—big hair, fake tan, questionable club choices—but Hex Appeal gave me an Essex I actually want to visit. The setting was pure magic (literally), and the way the houses and cottages were described? I swear I could hear the floorboards creak and feel the draft of an old, witchy home.
Josh and Essie’s relationship was everything—banter, chemistry, and just the right amount of emotional damage. But that twist right before the end? RUDE. Nearly shattered my poor, unsuspecting heart.
Witches, time travel, and a sprinkle of romance? This was exactly the cosy, magical escape I needed after drowning myself in murder mysteries. Highly recommend if you need a break from all the bloodshed but still crave a bit of drama.
