The Ex Hex | WWS Book Club

I love to read, but lately I’ve been having difficulty finding time to read all of the books I want to. To solve this problem, I downloaded Audible in October, and The Ex Hex is the first book I downloaded! This was the perfect “spooky season” rom-com! I meant to post it long before now, but it’s better late than never!

The small town with pumpkins hanging from the light posts, the Halloween festival, a witchy romance- this was SUCH a fun fall read!

Plot

The Ex Hex by Erin Sterling follows Vivienne Jones (Vivi), a witch in her 30s, who 9 years before had her heart broken by handsome warlock Rhys Penhallow. Like any young woman who gets her heart broken, she soothes it with vodka, a cry session with her cousin, and an accidental hex. Now almost a decade later, Rhys (who is a descendant of the town’s ancestors,) is called back to the town of Graves Glen to complete his family duty of recharging the town’s ley lines. With one calamity after another striking Rhys, Vivi soon realizes her drunken “Ex Hex” may have actually been real, and is now affecting the town’s magic. Now Vivi and Rhys have to put their obvious chemistry aside to try and help save the town from falling into total chaos.

Rating 4/5

discussion:

Okay so first of all as stated above, I listened to this on Audible and to be honest I didn’t love the voice narrating the story. It didn’t really take away from the book, but I found her to have a very monotone voice that was annoying to listen to at times. The book itself was SUCH a fun read! It’s got the same vibe as all of your favourite witchy Halloween movies, but as a sexy rom com instead. The book flowed really well and I never felt bored listening to it. While it does have a Halloween feel, I would definitely read this book any time of year!

Have you read The Ex Hex? What did you think?
