The Kiss Curse ~ Erin Sterling
This book follows The Ex Hex but instead focuses on Vivienne’s cousin Gwyn, and Rhys’s brother Llewellyn. These books are the reading equivalent to watching a Halloween themed hallmark film (except with unnecessarily frequent swearing) and are an easy read if you’re wanting those sort of vibes. I did find that I enjoyed The Kiss Curse a bit more than its predecessor, it cut back a lot on the misandry that was heavy in the first book and I felt the story behind the romance was more interesting. That being said I feel like there is always a big build up to something scary or mind blowing and then when that something finally comes I’m always disappointed with how quickly it dissipates and everything goes back to sunshine and rainbows (or autumn leaves and pumpkin spice lattes). I think I’m always wanting more of a secondary plot to the romance so I feel short changed when there isn’t much of one, but that’s just me!
All in all, a fun, witchy read and Sir Purrcival is a cutie 🐈⬛
