plot was twisty- spice was fun- I am a fan of this series. I doubt there will be more, but this series is on my reread list.

spice 🌶  - a 5 🌶  spicy, but like a 5-
length - just right.
reading speed - read in 4 days 
did it make me cry? - nope

THEY'RE SO CUTE TOGETHER I CANNOT!! I literally SQUEALED when I opened the book and learnt that it was about Penny and Willem after finishing the 1st book. Practically finished both on the same day I LOVE the universe! I didn't really like the amount of spice in here but I still loved this book because: Willem is THE grumpiest grump and Penny is literally the most sunshine sunshine like THEY'RE SO CUTE! It was quite interesting to see them fake date and START DATING because!!! OMG AHHHH. Like when they had to make their act more real OMG.

4/5
I actually liked the sequel better than book one! That's a rarity for me when it comes to romance series.

The enemies to lovers energy in this one was real and well done. The relationship development between Willem and Penny was handled well and the book did a great job balancing the plot with the spice. The stakes of their agreement felt real and the HEA feels earned and it was all around fun to read.

If Go Hex Yourself was not exactly what you wanted, I recommend giving What the Hex a shot because it's giving a lot of the same positives with far fewer faults.

Thank you oh-so-much to the wonderful Berkley Romance for sending me a free e-copy via Netgalley as well as a physical copy in exchange for an honest review!

OH MY GODS I LOVED THIS BOOK! okay okay, I'll clam down. If you don't know, I read Go Hex Yourself and looooved it, rating it five stars. I have been looking forward to this book ever since I heard it was coming out, and oh em gee this book did not disappoint!! 

Their banter? Top notch. The steam? BOILING. Oh em gee was it boiling hot!! I was so entranced by Will and Penny's relationship, I loved the tension in the beginning, how it was opposites attract as well as grumpy/sunshine! They warmed my heart up! (And the spell casting with Penny having her little moments made things so interesting and fun)

I nearly read this book in one sitting, I will warn you this book is ADDICTING. The drama with the Warlocks, the smexy tension with P+W, the FAKE DATING, NO 80% BREAKUP 🥳🥳!! This book has everythinggg. And I LOVED being able to see Ben and Reggie a decent amount in this book, seeing them again made my heart soooo happy!

I cannot express into words how much I loved this book other than screaming at you the whole time, which I won't do, I've screamed enough 😂 please please pick this book up if you have a chance, as well as Go Hex Yourself! These books are both top-tier amazing and I highly recommend! I will of course be listing the tropes below if you're curious!

Tropes:
• Familiar X Warlock
• Lots of Spellcasting
• SO Much Steamy Steam!!
• Fake Dating
• Opposites Attract
• Grumpy/Sunshine
• Lots of Laughs
• Hot Tension/Banter
• No 80% Breakup!!
