Second in the Supernatural Singles series. You don't need to read the first one to understand or enjoy this book. I love the family and friendship dynamics as well as the humorous and witty dialogue. If you love witchy magical reads then pick this one up.

II really love this group of friends and their stories.

Plus Asher does a great job of writing steamy scenes without it being too much.

I love this group of friends turn found family and the bond they all have.Especially the triplets!

Rose is such a fun character and Damian is so hot! Their chemistry was off the charts! Their banter was hysterical and I loved reading their dialogue.

Rose Maxwell has spent her whole life training to be the next prima of the supernatural world. Now that Violet has taken her rightful place, Rose is free to do what she wants and she is now a bit lost. She has a hot one night stand with one of Lincoln's friends, then tries to save a horse and gets caught trying to save a horse. She gets community service at the sanctuary that the Damian the one night stand runs. Things get interesting.

This was a fun spicy witchy romance. I was thoroughly entertained by Rose's antics. I can't wait to read the next one in the series.

Not Your Ex's Hexes is the second in a series of witchy romances. Cuteness abounds in this story of a curvy witch, newly displaced and floundering in her life's mission, and a grouchy veterinarian who was cursed by an ex back during his younger, and more selfish, past.

Omg. I love this witchy rom com it's so absolutely amazing and cute! As the second book in the supernatural singles series this did not disappoint. My favorite was the banter between Rose and Damian!! And I love the grumpy/sunshine trope.
When is the next one coming out!! I can't wait!

Damian has been trying to run away from who he truly is and his past. That is until a certain female enters his life and upends all of his plans.

"Not Your Ex's Hexes" by April Asher weaves a captivating tale of Rose Maxwell, a determined witch, and Damian Adams, a broody half-demon. Their one-night stand unleashes a series of magical mishaps, leading them on an adventurous journey. As Rose navigates her newfound path as a Hunter, the dynamics between her and Damian evolve in a friends-with-benefits arrangement. The story beautifully explores their sparking attraction amidst the challenges of Rose's demon-hunting endeavors and Damian's reluctance. Asher skillfully blends supernatural elements with the complexities of love, making this novel a spellbinding read. The looming threat of Damian losing his humanity adds an intriguing twist, keeping readers hooked until the last page.

The follow-up to Not the Witch You Wed, follows the middle Maxwell sister, Rose. Rose has no idea what she wants to do with her life, she planned to be the Prima, but since she stepped down and broke her bond agreement with the defunct European Alpha she knows she does not want to be in a relationship. She has her first and only one-night stand, and it happens to be the attractive Demon Vet former college roommate of her Elder sister’s mate. Damian owns a pet sanctuary in which Rose, and her sisters, break into to free the abused-looking horses. They get caught and Rose gets community service at Damians’ ranch. Insert chaos and crazy times.

I really appreciate the author’s witchy rom-com series for its engaging and relatable characters, witty banter, and magical twist. The sisters and their partners all have unique and likable personalities that keep the reader invested in their struggles and pursuit of happiness. The story’s blend of romance and magic makes for an immersive world that readers won’t want to leave. Additionally, the detail of the sisters’ magic matching the color of their books and their respective names is a delightful touch. If you’re a fan of rom-coms with a supernatural twist and enjoy clever dialogue, then this series is definitely worth checking out. The second book in the series is just as entertaining as the first, so don’t hesitate to dive in!

I waited to long to review this and now I honestly don’t remember a single thing about this book. Like I can’t recall a single thing about it. I remember liking it when I read it, but I liked the first one more, it was just forgettable I guess

A captivating and magical adventure! This story shows that you can pursue your dreams, even if they diverge from lifelong training for something else. The dynamic between Damian and Rose is intense, drawing readers in for more of their interactions with every page.

Both characters are headstrong and determined, coming together to navigate not only tangible demons but also emotional ones. I loved the family dynamics throughout the book as well, making this a book I didn't want to end.

A witch and a demon? Yes, please. I love a good supernatural romcom and this was perfect- very enjoyable with great characters and all the magic I could want.

This was a really cute and witchy read! I thought I was great for the fall and Halloween season. I do however wish I’d read the other books in the series before this one, just to know the characters better.

Asher did a great job at writing sweet romance along with all of the spooky season vibes and I’d definitely give another one of her books a shot because of how fun this one was.

April Asher may have become a new go-to author, after finishing Not Your Ex's Hexes.

I absolutely devoured this book and loved seeing the plus size rep in romance. Especially when the plus size witch finds love with a half-demon veterinarian who tries to stay away from her as much as he can. Throw in a curse and demon hunting and you have the recipe for a perfect paranormal romance that adds in a cauldron full of humor.

I loved watching Rose try to find her place in life, now that everything she trained for wasn't necessary. Now she was learning to put herself first and figure out what she wanted to do with her life, while getting over a horrible ex. At the same time she has a one-night stand with a hot half-demon, Damian, and neither seems to be able to escape the attraction they feel for each other. And after Rose inadvertently tries stealing horses from Damian's animal sanctuary she has to fulfill community service at the sanctuary. Of course that leads to neither being able to deny the attraction between them and leads to them starting a friends-with-benefits arrangement.

This book was absolutely a joy to read. It was funny romantic, and at times suspenseful. You found yourself rooting for both Rose and Damian, and wanted them to find a way to be together, while also enjoying the chaos around them and their banter. Overall this was a fun read, and has me hooked on the series as a whole.

Book 2 was just as enjoyable as the first! Loved the witchy vibes and this witchy town! I cannot wait to revisit this series!

Thank you #StMartinsPress and #NetGalley for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review

I looked Book #1 of the Supernatural Singles so I was SO excited to get approved for the ARC for #2! I am a sucker for a good paranormal romance and this did not let me down. Damian was my favorite part. Rose is so sweet but wished she got from under the shadow of her sisters! It was a lighthearted read and perfect for an October cozy read. I can't wait to read book #3!

This book in 3 words: Hilarious. Nostalgic. Entertaining.

This book was FUNNY. Like, multiple times I was actually laughing out loud. I loved the quips and banter between Rose and Damian. They had such good chemistry and solid back stories to complement each other.

Also, the start of this book? CHEFS KISS! So unique and interesting… and hottie hot hot hot.

Listen, I’m a sucker for anything that references Buffy more than once. This book had all the feels to pull at your nostalgic strings.

Definitely an enjoyable witchy romance.

This was so great! I loved the idea of a supernatural rom com and this was executed perfectly! The chemistry between Damian and Rose was instant and undeniable! I had so much fun reading their story. I also really like reading about all the supernatural creatures!

Was this review helpful?

yes. just, yes.
this was perfectly magical and witchy, and a fantastic instalment to the series!
i love how silly some of the dialogue is. there’s so much backhanded humour in this i was giggling to myself! that being said, i did feel like some kind of spark was missing. it was so cute, but i guess i didn’t feel like the characters grabbed me as much as i hoped!
i’d still highly recommend it to people who love witchy romances, good banter & fluff.
