A fast paced, magic and passion fueled book about relationships gone wonky. The Ex Hex is perfect for curling up on the sofa with a cup of tea to read a slice of life romance style novel with magical hijinks involved for good measure. 
I really enjoyed the ease I found myself being able to read this book, it felt like flying through the pages while not making the book feel very short overall. I felt like I could relate to the book as not only is it set in our world but also has links to Wales, where I have lived for a short while previously. 
On the other hand, I personally don't think the epilogue was necessary to make this story complete, without spoiling anything, I realise without this final chapter the tone of the ending would have been completly different if not totally opposite feeling. But it still would have been a complete book in my eyes. 
I would recommend The Ex Hex for anyone looking for a lighthearted, amusing romance story. I feel this book makes a great change of pace for those who tend to read more fantasy and complex stories, in comparision this book feels like a breath of fresh air and a good change of pace.
