I saw this book quite a few times on booktok and was excited to receive a copy of it in exchange of an honest review. Even though I knew the book and heard the title quite a lot, I still went it completely blind. The only thing I really knew was that it was a romance book and that‘s it. Anyway, I personally enjoyed the writing style of this book. It was really easy to read and quite a quick read as well. The story had quite the potential since I love a good book that also includes magic but sadly I didn‘t like it as much as I thought I might. For me it read more like a YA book even though there was a little spice. It felt too rushed at some parts especially the ending felt a little out of the blue and rushed. It wasn‘t necessary bad but it also wasn‘t good, at least not for me. I still enjoyed reading it but it was lacking a little more story and again like I said, the ending was too rushed for my taste. Nonetheless the writing of Erin Sterling was good and I will probably read another book of hers but this one just wasn‘t what I needed it to be.

Description: 

Nine years ago, Vivienne Jones nursed her broken heart like any young witch would: vodka, weepy music, bubble baths…and a curse on the horrible boyfriend. Sure, Vivi knows she shouldn’t use her magic this way, but with only an “orchard hayride” scented candle on hand, she isn’t worried it will cause him anything more than a bad hair day or two.

That is until Rhys Penhallow, descendent of the town’s ancestors, breaker of hearts, and annoyingly just as gorgeous as he always was, returns to Graves Glen, Georgia. What should be a quick trip to recharge the town’s ley lines and make an appearance at the annual fall festival turns disastrously wrong. With one calamity after another striking Rhys, Vivi realizes her silly little Ex Hex may not have been so harmless after all.

Suddenly, Graves Glen is under attack from murderous wind-up toys, a pissed off ghost, and a talking cat with some interesting things to say. Vivi and Rhys have to ignore their off the charts chemistry to work together to save the town and find a way to break the break-up curse before it’s too late.
