My Rating


If you’re looking for a witchy romcom with the perfect blend of witty banter and romance, this is a great read for you. This companion novel to The Ex Hex (also by Erin Sterling), which followed Vivi and Rhys, focuses on Gwyn and Wells.

Gwyn, Vivi’s cousin, is a strong-willed and opinionated witch. Wells, a serious, no-nonsense warlock, is Rhys’s brother, who you may remember as Vivi’s ex-boyfriend from the previous book.

One of my favorite parts of the story was how well the pairing worked. Gwyn brings out a more laid-back side of Wells, and I loved how she always teased him. He kept up with her sarcasm, which was awesome. As a result, the story was filled with witty banter throughout.

“The best magic is always a little risky, right?”

The book contains some spicy scenes that I loved. While there isn’t a ton of smut and most of the romance scenes are the “fade to black” type, the chemistry between the characters made the scenes even better. This is definitely a “he falls first” type of romance.

In addition to the romance, the plot was amazing. I loved the storyline and all the fun magical moments. It gave me the cozy fall vibes I look for in a witchy romcom. The pacing of the story was good, and I liked how everything wrapped up.

Overall, this was a ten-out-of-ten read. It’s a great frenemies-to-lovers magical romance, and I think many people will enjoy the story. I mean, it’s a witchy tale with my favorite trope—no wonder I liked it!
