A fun twist on the usual tropes in a rom-com seeing as it's a supernatural one lol. This is the second in a series, but reads as a stand alone. I genuinely laughed out loud reading this book, it was really enjoyable!

Many thanks to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for the advanced copy of the book.
I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Not Your Ex's Hexes is one-night-stand to annoyances to friends with benefits to lovers romcom about a witch and a half-demon. It's funny and has good spice but sadly, I did not connect with the book. It might be because I haven't read book 1 in the series but still, everything was quite easy to understand and the author made sure all the gaps were filled.

The book is definitely very funny, even made me laugh out loud a few times. I liked Rose and Damian on their own but I did not like the nicknames they had (I am not a fan of "babe" at all, in any book tbh). I did not feel connected to these characters and to be quite honest, I felt where this was going so I wasn't excited to finish it.

Loved that a lot of stuff was happening at the animal sanctuary - I love animals and reading about characters who love them as much is heartwarming.

As for the side characters, I was not feeling them either and did not care about MCs interactions with anyone but each other.

I guess this is truly the case of "it's not you, it's me" and I am the problem in why I didn't like this book.

3.5/5

Thank you Netgalley and St. Martin's Press for the eARC of this book in exchange for an honest review!

What an interesting read!
I figured this would be a normal rom com but I was delighted to find something different!
I love anything to do with the paranormal especially around the Fall season. This book is absolutely perfect for that!
Some great characters in this book too. I loved in getting to know them but I had no idea that this was a series.
April Asher has done a marvelous job with making her characters real and believable.
I don't know when I've enjoyed a book more. ( of course I say this about most every book I read but you know, I can't help myself)!
I had fun reading this book.
5 stars for a job well done! I highly recommend!
My thanks for a copy of this book. I was NOT required to write a positive review. All opinions expressed are my own.

3.5 stars!

Not Your Ex's Hexes is a cute romance that checks the boxes on tropes readers will love (forced proximity, one night stand to lovers, grumpy x sunshine). I wanted to absolutely love this book but I didn't. There are key moments where banter and rambling took precedence over plot, and while, in the first book, the cutesy nicknames and witchy-words didn't feel over the top, they pushed me out of the story in this one. Some of them were brilliant but others were .. a bit much.

I loved the supernatural characters, the world building, and Damien and Rose's relationship overall! I think this is a fun read for Fall vibes if you're looking for a cute and spicy supernatural romance.

Not Your Ex's Hexes is a cute paranormal romance, and is the second book in April Asher’s Supernatural Singles series. The storyline/romance was so amzing, and atmosphere was so good. This was a great Halloween season rom-com, and it was just the fun read I needed.

I liked a lot about this book. I enjoyed all of the characters (good & evil); the love story was a good one. I absolutely loved that the MCs saved/rescued at-risk animals and thought that was something that really added to the story. I even liked the love/hate relationship between the brothers. The only thing that kept me at a distance was MC Rose’s stubbornness and uncompromising nature. Even though I did like her, that part turned me off at times. But I would recommend this if you’re looking for a fun paranormal romance. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with this book free of charge.

A half demon and a witch, sign me up! This was my first April Asher book and I really loved it. It was cute and perfect for Fall. I also loved all the side friendships in this one. I can't wait for more from this author. I will definitely be going back and reading the first one now! 4/5 stars

Thank you netgalley for providing me an arc for an honest review.

Not Your Ex 's Hexes by April Asher is a fun light hearted romance. I was glad to learn that this is part of a series and I'm looking forward to reading more.

Thank you to NetGalley for the advanced digital copy.

I very much enjoyed this light-hearted but somewhat substantial romance that was a good read. It kept me engaged and interested to see what was going to happen next. It wasn't too much but also not too heavy. Kind of that perfect spot of being able to engage your mind and enjoy what you're reading, but also not something that you have to study to retain everything.
I would definitely recommend this book to my friends and would look for the author's next books.

4.25


"People who interrupt someone obviously engrossed in their book has true evil in their heart. I'm just saying.

Honestly, I absolutely loved this book. Never in a million years by me looking at the front of this book would I have expected it to give the twists and turns and the amazing outcome that it did and April Asher, I applaud you for that.


I received a free ARC from NetGalley, and this is my honest review


Not Your Ex's Hexes is the second book in April Asher's Supernatural Singles series, and when I tell you that it is good....

You better believe it.

Within this book we follow the prior Prima Apparent, Rose Maxwell. After losing what she has trained her entire life for, Rose is a little lost and is truly looking for a purpose. After her horse rescue mission left her with 80 hours of community service with one hunk of a broody half-demon vet, will Rose finally be able to find her purpose in life or will her pride get in the way?

Damian Adams is a half-demon vet who has lived by the code of one-night stands only as to not get attached, but when one of his one-night stands become staff at his animal sanctuary for breaking in, will Damian stay in his ways or will he finally try something new?


This book is the absolute best paranormal romantic comedies that I have read in a hot minute. With the way that Asher blends in the aspect of the paranormal in with normal society is absolutely *chef kiss*


If you are looking for a book that will take you on a ride and actually have you one minute belly-aching laughing, then the next minute gasping and trying to read the page so quickly so you don't miss anything, then have you crying because let me tell you.

You will.

Over all a great addition to the series and I would honestly rank it higher then the first!!

Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for the eARC of Not Your Ex's Hexes!

Not Your Ex's Hexes is absolutely hilarious and romantic! It was so exciting to read about Rose and the extremely hot and tantalizing Dr. Demon. Not only does April Asher make you laugh out loud with her hilarious puns and chapter titles, she makes you swoon for the bad boy with the good heart. Also- who doesn't love a strong and independent female main character? Rose is the epitome of a kindhearted badass- she's so incredibly relatable too! I am absolutely looking forward to continuing to read anything April Asher writes (Me, looking at April, begging for Olive and Harper to get their HEA!).

What a book!? I was lucky enough to be approved to read this ARC and I was excited to dive right in. I hadn’t read the first book in the series but after having read this book I went out and purchased the first, that is how much I loved this story.

Rose losses her prima witch position before this book begins but she doesn’t seem to upset about it. She is struggling to find her purpose and avoiding her mothers matching making plans. This leads her to a one night stand with a handsome half demon. He is a former bounty hunter turned veterinarian and apparently irresistible.

Right from the prologue you could sense their chemistry was fire 🔥. Damian runs an animal sanctuary but is dealing with a hex his ex put on him and has sworn off love. Rose has also sworn off love due to a narcissistic fiancé. They are thorn together due to a foolish decision by Rose that leads to community service hours at the sanctuary. Together they have to learn to get along and deal with their sizzling chemistry so they decide to become FB’s. But how to do that without letting the heart get involved?

I devoured this book in two days I could not put it down. Even though the main conflict is not one of my favourite tropes, the writing style, character development and story line more then made up for that. I will be going back and reading the first book in the series and I hope there are more books to come in the series!

The triplets, who are witches are interesting characters. This is a story about true mates, but you wouldn't know it. I really like how the story is not totally focused on the demon and the witch. We get what's going on with the sisters. What's going on in there daily lives. Some about the counsel. The story is a bit of all of the characters lives while we watch the couple develop and learn more about them. I would recommend this to any adult because it does have sexual content.

First and foremost, I would like to thank Netgalley and the publisher for allowing to me read this ARC

Well good Goddess… Rose is back!

When a horse rescue attempt goes wrong, poor Rose is forced to do community service at an animal rescue that’s owned by a sexy, sultry and very devilish demon.

I was not expecting how much smut was in this book but the scenes were perfection. If you love supernatural, sexy on the edge of your seat romance… this is the novel for you.

A big thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for the eARC. I am voluntarily reviewing this book. This is the 2nd in a series. It reads well as a stand alone, but I think it is better to read them in order. I actually liked the first book better, but this one is good as well. I loved that Damian is a veterinarian. This is funny, as they so don't want to like each other. Good chemistry. I can't wait for Olive's story. 4 stars.

In this second book in the Supernatural Singles series, we meet Ex future Prima Rose Maxwell. She is a triplet and they make a Charmed like sisterhood
Now that Rose is not going to be Prima she is struggling to find her footing. She has worked about 10 jobs, unable to find something best suited for someone who was groomed her whole life to help run the Supernatural world.
When an animal rescue goes wrong Rose is forced to do community service at an animal rescue. The rescue is owned by Damian. A sexy half demon who she just happened to have a one night stand with and cant get out of her mind.
Damian is a surface grump with a heart of gold. He remembers Rose as well, but has a "once only" rule to his one night stands. Pity for Damian Rose everything he wanted in a love, but thanks to the Hex of an ex-girlfriend, never dared to dream he could have.
Rose and Damian are wonderful together. I love the banter and the smokin hot sexy times. I really love Ashers world building and all the side characters! Usually they are just background for me but when there are vampires, a succubus and a wolfpack, oh my!
This is the second book in the series. I have also read the first one, but the story is enough you can read it on its own.
Thanks to Netgalley for the ARC

I just love love love this series and am really hoping that it won't be done once Olly finds her match. Typically I am not a fan of shifters and the like, but for some reason, this one hits different for me. A fun cozy read for anyone who likes a paranormal twist and is looking for a break in reading heavier stuff.

If you liked ‘Not the Witch You Wed’, then you’re all going to love ‘Not Your Ex’s Hexes’!!

Rose and Damian’s love story is adorable, I think they’re my favorites! This was such a funny, lighthearted and heartfelt story; all great ingredients that a good contemporary rom-com needs, you add a supernatural world with witches, demons, angels, and vampires and it makes it more interesting. The titles for each chapter are so funny and clever, they’re a great prelude to what you’ll read in each of them.

Can’t wait to see what happens next with Olive!!

I think I really enjoyed book 1 more than I enjoyed this one TBH.
Book 2s can be hard sometimes.
I just didnt feel the connection and dammit I am big on Feeling connections in books.
So alas 3 stars
Hoping Book 3 knocks me on my ass

Thank you Netgalley/St Martins Press for a copy of this book

Note: This book is a heterocentric supernatural romance novel. It has a small nod to LGBTQ+ romance by having a bi + lesbian couple in the story’s sideline characters (small roles). Diversity isn’t overt beyond supernatural diversity. This isn’t a criticism of the story - just context.

The story centers around a witch and half demon who is hexed by an ex - hence the title - and can’t fall in love without losing his soul. If you roll with the premise - after all, it’s a lighthearted romance, it’s a sweet story that will keep you entertained. The characters are fun, there’s enough in the story beyond the sexual attraction to make the characters likeable, and you know where we’re headed plot wise.

My one complaint is that the story spent a lot of time building to an ending that was a bit quick and cheesy (it’s romance so that’s to be expected - it’s part of the attraction of the story - it’s meant to be heart-lifting). I enjoyed the story but I also enjoy a good light hearted romance so I recommend it to readers who enjoy supernatural romances.
