This was a cute book, although it did not grab be like the first one, I am not fond of the miscommunication trope, to be honest, and this is what it seemed to me, I saw what the hex was about from the very beginning, but they were cute together, and I enjoyed it although it wasn’t that I had to know what happened but that well, I invested all this time, might as well finish it.

I loved it. Super fun, super cute, super snarky, super sexy. A quick read that I couldn’t put down!

I received a copy of this book from the publisher through NetGalley.

This book was adorable. I enjoyed it more than the first in the series. I definitely recommend reading the first in the series before this one as it sets up a lot of Rose's and the rest of the Maxwell family background. As someone who has spent many years in vet med, I totally loved Damien's character. And Rose's botched "horse rescue" attempt was hilarious. The story was definitely fluffy with a little bit of spice and was a really quick read.

Thank you NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for the ARC!

This is a fun filled story. Rose is one in a triplet of spirited witches. Damian is a half demon half norm. It is a wild and exciting ride as this paranormal story unfolds. The characters are colorful and will entertain you with their antics. From wild fights, to girls nights every page is a feast for the senses. Rose and Damian decide on a steamy relationship that burns up the sheets. It is a truly delightful story as the couple comes into their own and finds away to be happy with each other.

Rose isn't Prima Apparent and she's trying to figure herself out. After an attempted horse-napping, she ends up sentences to community service at the animal Sanctuary she tries to nap the horses from.
Alongside the hottest, grumpiest, hottest half demon vet ever. And she already knows the kinda of pleasure he can give 😉😉.
But he's hexed to lose his soul should he ever fall in love! It's such a shame they're so smitten and attracted to each other, right!
Instead of being smart, they become friends with benefits!
Theres so much happening here that it's never truly boring. And the spice is somewhat on page this time. Between Rose and Damian's relationship, Rose figuring herself out and Damian figuring himself out, there's hardly a dull moment.
Julius Kontos makes more appearances but there's a sad lack of Edie.
In the end, everything falls into place. Not before you have a minor heart attack over Damian's well being.
I ate this book up.

This series is quickly becoming a favorite of mine. While I thoroughly enjoyed the first book, this book seriously has my heart! I love that with each book we’re learning more and more about the inner workings of the Maxwell family. This series does a really awesome job of world building, as it establishes this whole unique supernatural society existing in New York City as we know it-I’ve always found that so interesting!

At the heart of this book is the burgeoning love story of Rose, who we’ve met before, and Damian who we have not. This book provides us with so much more depth to Rose, and I honestly couldn’t help but love her. Just a badass witch trying to find her place. Damian is
perfect-just out here making everyone’s grumpy half-demon veterinarian wet dreams come true 😂. No but seriously-I’m OBSESSED with these two! The BANTER, the tension-ugh, so good!

I for sure loved this book more than the first and I’m excited to see what the rest of the series brings because it seems to just keep getting better and better!

I was given an ARC by NetGalley and St. Martin’s-Griffin. All opinions are my own.

Super cute easy Halloween read! I’m not usually one for one night stands that lead to lovers but it worked in this story. Add in the fact that this book promotes animal reaches- loved it!

LOVED IT!

Not Your Ex's Hexes is the second book in the Supernaturals Singles series by April Asher and follows 3 triplet sister witches in their magical mishaps and in finding love.

Book 1, Not The Witch You Wed, follows the oldest triplet, Violet or Vi for short. Book 2 starts 6 months after Book 1 and follows the middle triplet, Rose.

Not Your Ex's Hexes involves a one-night-stand between a willful witch and a broody half-demon which conjures an adventure that wouldn’t be complete without several magical mishaps.

I loved Book 1 in this series, but I think I might love Book 2 even more. Sometimes sequels fall a bit short, but not in this case. I loved the banter between all the characters. It's a fast paced, feel good book with lots of spice. The kind of book you can't help but smile when you read. It's a "no strings attached" and "grumpy/sunshine" story that will leave you wanting more. I cannot wait for next one!

I love the writing style of April Asher. The flow of her stories are smooth and quick paced. Also love the duel POV chapters. I'll definitely be keeping an eye out for more books by April. She is now on my auto buy list!

Not Your Ex's Hexes is set to be published on February 7, 2023.
Thank you to St. Martin's Press, St. Martin's Griffin, NetGalley and April Asher for the Advanced eCopy in exchange for my honest review.

Rose spent her whole life training to be the next leader of the Supernatural Council, but ever since her sister (who was fated to take the role) finally came into her power and Rose stepped down, she's been struggling to find purpose in her life. When she and her sisters try to rescue a pair of horses they (erroneously) think are being neglected, she might just find her purpose--in the mandated community service hours she has to put in at the animal sanctuary she tried to steal the horses from. Which is run by Damian, the gorgeous half-demon she slept with a while back.
Damian wants to keep Rose as far away as possible. She's gorgeous, driven, compassionate... definitely the kind of woman he could fall for. The only problem? His high school girlfriend hexed him--and if he falls in love with Rose, he might lose his soul forever.

I hadn't read the first book in the series (and definitely didn't feel like I was missing important information--I love how books in romance novels tend to stand on their own pretty well) but I'll definitely be going back and reading it now! Not Your Ex's Hexes was a super fun read, and I definitely want to read every book in the series. There's definitely some tension and past trauma (Damian and his father have a rough past) but the book didn't go deep enough into it to feel like that was making the book super heavy; it struck the perfect balance of light and substantive and I can't wait to read more in this series.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/ 5

I haven’t read the first book in the Supernatural Singles series, but I’m adding it to my list. This story is lighthearted and humorous and easy to read. The chemistry between Rose and Damien definitely made this a cute rom-com for sure. If you are into paranormal/supernatural romances this book is for you. Perfect book during the spooky season 🧡

Thank you @netgalley & @stmartinspress for this ARC in exchange for my honest review!

I think perhaps if I read the first book in the series I would've enjoyed this book a lot more. It was still good, but I wasn't in love with it. I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to supernatural romances but this was enjoyable and a fun read. I'm interested in the other sister's story. I'll pick that up next. Thank you netgalley for the privilege to read this book early.

I received a complimentary copy from
NetGalley in exchange for my own review.

I enjoyed this book so much. I want to give my rating 4.5 rather than 4 stars. The characters were enjoyable. There were a lot of funny moments ti where I laughed out loud. A lot of places that made me smile and I even teared up at one part. I would definitely recommend for a feel good love story with some humor on the side.

I adore these witchy series. I read Vi's book and I was addicted to the whole thing. Rose has to rethink her whole life path as she is no longer the Prima but she can now explore. Rose has gotten herself into having to do community service with the local farm sanctuary.

This is where we meet Damian who is hexed and trying to control his inner demon

This story was fun, spicy and well-written. I devoured the book within a few days and I wish I had the third book in the series already.

I loved the world that's built with the norms, vampires and much much more

I can't wait for it to be released

I think my new type in paranormal romance has to be grumpy half demon vets who run animal sanctuaries. There’s just something about a man who doesn’t like people but loves taking care of neglected animals that just warms my heart.

This book has a little bit of everything you could ask for; a curvy FMC, steamy banter, tons of angst, a little grumpy/sunshine action, and of course romance. Plus we have a behind the scenes view of what it’s like when a witch who has been training for one position for most of her life steps down and has to find a new path.

I really enjoyed this read, I’m definitely an animal person so watching how Rose and Damian interacted with them (especially with Bella) just made me happy. Through in the deliciously angsty romance (I mean these two were constantly flirting with each other) and I knew this was the read for me. Perfect for anybody wanting a read with some spooky vibes that can be enjoyed year round.

Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin’s press for gifting me a copy of this book in exchange for my review.

I had a difficult time really getting into this novel as there was a lot of different supernatural characters and storylines to keep up with. I feel as though it would have been better for me had I been exposed to the first in the series prior to reading.
But I will say that the details were great and I felt like the author did a great job setting the different scenes. This may be a book I re-approach at a different time when my mom brain can keep track of everything.

PERSONAL OVERVIEW

Overall Rating: 4

COMMENTS/NOTES: I would recommend reading Not the Witch You Wed first, because this book continues where it left off. Definitely reminds me of Juliette Cross witch series with each sister's love story. The only thing I disliked was you have to read through some fodder -meaning the book could have been 50 pages lighter. Even so, I love witches/demons/angels/shifters mating stories.

I wanted to love this one, I usually really enjoy witchy reads, but it ended up being just an okay read for me. I think I might have enjoyed it more if I had read the first in the series; at times I felt a little lost with the characters. (I will add that they ended up referencing huge events that I think will entirely spoil the first book plot, so if you want to read the first book be sure to do that before picking up this one.)

I did like the characters and there were cute elements throughout the book, but the enemies-to-lovers and the "friends with benefits" tropes dragged on a bit too long, taking some of the fun out of the book.

Heroine at loose ends meets hero ducking their past in this fun, cute romance/urban fantasy. It reads fast and easy-perfect for winter evenings/beach reads. The world building is interesting as I feel like there's a lot of stuff just waiting to happen in the future.

I wanted to love the second installment in the Supernatural Singles as much as I loved the first, but I didn’t. Don’t get me wrong, I still loved it, but it was lacking in a few areas. First, there was so much potential for Rose at the animal sanctuary (obviously she has a gift with animals) but they made her “calling” be hunting. I wish they’d just let that plot point die out. I also felt like Rose’s character kept being pushed to be like Vi. In the first book it was mentioned several times how different the Maxwell Triplets personalities are, but they don’t seem that much different. Second, it wasn’t as funny. Give me more Harper! She’s definitely my favorite character, and if my suspicions are correct, I cannot wait until we get to her book. Lastly, I wish there had been a little bit more to the plot than basically just their love story. In the first, we were breaking down generational barriers but in this one other plots were mentioned (i.e. the sanctuary, hunting, the hex, even Olive) but nothing was quite filled out. Though I did enjoy the hex part, I wish it had been a little less anticlimactic.
I’ll add that I enjoyed the extra spice between Damian and Rose. The humor is still there. And I was super glad that we still get glimpses into what’s going on with Vi and becoming the Prima Apparent. Four stars (probably just because I LOVED the first so much)

I enjoyed this book! It wasn’t as good as the first novel in the series, but the female protagonist was relatable. The love story was also pretty steamy!
