Hex and the City by Kate Johnson

5.0

Full disclosure: I thought Hex Appeal was only okay. I hadn't planned on reading the next in the series but I am so glad I did because Hex and the City is so good! It's funny, fast-paced, sexy, and absolutely full of magical fun and adventure.

Rapunzel and Manbun, er, I mean Poppy and Alex are adorable together and I loved his attitude about her being a witch. After the initial disbelief and questions about how the tricks work, he just kinda goes with it. Star of the show though is Poppy's hair. Some of the subtle lines about what her hair was up to had me literally laughing out loud.

There is insta-love happening but it actually works in this one. I mean, we're talking about witches, magical houses, broomstick riding, sentient(?) hair, and figureheads coming to life. Insta-love is the last thing you have to suspend disbelief over.

Thank you Netgalley and HarperCollins UK, One More Chapter for an early copy in exchange for my honest review.
