Just as much fun as The Ex Hex! It was great to see how the town and characters have adjusted since the last book, and to meet some new characters. I do think there was a little bit less of spooky magic stuff happening live on the page, but that space was filled with a bit more character/relationship development. I'm really eager for the next book now, this series has been a great time so far.

“Gwen had no doubt that whoever he was, his ancestors had absolutely once stared down the business end of guillotine.
You don't get cheekbones like that without oppressing some peasants.”
After reading The Ex Hex I didn't know what to expect of this book. I knew that this was an enemies-to-lovers story and that its my favorite troupe. So, there was a change that I would love this book. Spoiler alert: I really liked this book! More than its predecessor.
Its a funny, lighthearted story with a side of mystery and a talking cat, that I really liked and found entertaining. Gwyn and Wells are perfect both as enemies and lovers. The story has a great pacing and it is well-structured!
I really liked it, and I'm now excited for the third installment of this series!

I did not expect to love this one more than the first, but I did!!! I adored getting to know Gwyn and Wells and really loved their characters from the get go, and I love the character development throughout. Their personalities felt realistic yet unique to read about, and I appreciated how reasonable and mature they both were, even with the third act conflict of their relationship. They started as soft enemies to rivals to allies to lovers and I loved it!! They didn’t spend excessive energy hating each other to keep the plot going which I appreciated. I also loved Sir Purrcival and the baby witches. There were a few twists towards the end (some I foresaw and some I didn’t), but I felt like the climax and resolution happened too fast. But other than that, I loved everything about this cozy witchy romance with a solid plot! The audiobook was better too because the Welsh accents were more prominent on this book than the last. I’m excited to see where the story goes in another book (hopefully!)

I liked this one better than the first book in this series, The Ex Hex, especially the first half of the book, which was lighthearted, fun, and filled with that enemies-to-lovers tension. It did slow down at the midpoint for me though, and I just lost steam for the rest of the book. I did appreciate the mystery element in this one and if you’re looking for a lighthearted, witchy read with a bit of spice, then this book will be for you.

This is maybe slightly better than the previous book in this serious but that isn't high praise. Everything about it was so flat. I actually liked Wells as a character quite a lot but Gwyn was an insufferable girl boss and the whole plot was convenient and uninspired. Even the smuts were about as spicy as milk. Just skip these honestly, I don't expect literature from this genre but the quality of the writing, the confusing back and forth dialog, and all of the plot happening in the last 30 pages is just honestly not worth reading and I wished I'd skipped it.

Very fun read. Required some suspension of disbelief - and not just on the magic front - but very cute. The Baby Witches and Purrcival made great side characters.
