Hex and the Single Girl by Valerie Frankel

1.0

Hex and The Single Girl is the story of a matchmaker, Emma, who is also a psychic. She can pass images into other people's brains, and she uses this "power" in her line of work: women look for her telling them about men they care about but haven't noticed them, and she puts their image in their minds. To quote the blurb: "After all, what bachelor, confirmed or otherwise, could deny his true destiny when the woman he can't seem to stop thinking about suddenly appears right in front of him?". But then she has a new job, and she's falling for the object of her costumer's desires...

Sounds interesting right? It really, really, isn't due to bad writing, contrived situations, and just really bad writing. I read this so long ago, and yet I still remember feeling offended by it. Fake technology exists in a romance novel, which is something that really irks me. Everybody gets a happy ending and great sex. WOW!!!!

Just... so bad. How can an author have such an interesting idea and ruin it so badly??
