Christmas in July.
Not my favourite in the series, unfortunately. I didn’t love how it was mostly set outside of Graves Glen and while I like the idea of it being set around Christmas, these books just work better for me with some Halloween vibes.

I love a book with a happy ending. Everything has turned out lovely for the Jones and Penhallow gang.
Another fun conclusion to the trilogy, and the most entertaining of the series for me. A human that specializes in magical artifact finding, a witch who wants her to only work for him, and a bit of time travel? There was defiantly a lot going on and I loved every bit of it. Tamsyn Bligh is the human whose super sassy banter has me chuckling through the book. Also the spiciest of them all, but still very tame.
There is a million dollar pay out for a gody piece of jewelry that could retire Tamsyn, if she can acquire it. Only problem is that she is locked into a contract with Bowen and isn't suppose to be doing any "freelance" work anymore. She decides that won't stop her and she is going for the pay out, the last thing she expected was to run into Bowen at the exact wedding she is crashing.

This time we get to see the reclusive brother. It was interesting to see the path he took from Scotland to Glen Graves. An enjoyable romp through the world of magic.

The book itself was great but the narrator ruined so much of the story for me. Characters from previous books were given accents that they don't have, the Welsh accents often sounded Indian... I just kept getting distracted and confused until I realized who the narrator was attempting to portray. yikes.
I really enjoyed the plot of this story and thought it was fun

This was okay. Definitely my least favourite of the series. Strong Christmas/Yule/Holiday vibes, so if you're looking for a seasonal romance with the barest hint of magic in it, this might be a good fit. However, I had major issues with the plot, which seems cobbled together, is full of conveniences and things just working out because that is what needs to happen for a happy ending. There was an interesting element introduced at the beginning (Bowen's best friend Declan stuck as a ghost, the source of a lot of guilt in Bowen's life ) which would have been really interesting to explore, but in the end barely played any role at all.
Overall I liked both main characters, but also didn't really care if they got together or not. Big shoutout to the audiobook narrator, Mary Jane Wells, who added lots of Welsh accents, making the listening experience much more entertaining.
The Ex Hex remains one of my favourite contemporary witchy books, but sadly this one couldn't live up to the previous entries.
