Rating: 4/5 stars
The sequel to The Ex Hex (which centered on the relationship between Vivi and Rhys) finds Vivi’s cousin Gwyn running her witch shop, Something Wicked, mentoring young witches, and butting heads with Wells Penhallow, Rhys’ older brother and newest Graves Glen resident.
I thought The Ex Hex was super cute and loved the witchiness, so I was excited for the sequel, and The Kiss Curse didn’t let me down. In fact, I think I liked this one even more, as I was instantly drawn to Wells (and already loved Gwyn from her appearances in book one). The banter and enemies-to-lovers vibes were immaculate, and, as always, Sir Purrcival the cat fully stole the show.
I did want a bit more resolution (and also more magic!), as things seemed to wrap up too quickly and easily, which was also my opinion after The Ex Hex. That said, these books are fun, fast, adorable, and perfect light-hearted spooky season reads, and if that’s the vibe you’re seeking, look no further!
Recommended to anyone, but especially if you like: enemies-to-lovers; witchy romance; light-hearted spooky vibes.
CW: Kidnapping; mentions of blood/torture.
