I didn’t realize this was the second book in a series which is my mistake. With that said I liked the main character Rose and her sisters. I was definitely intrigued but I found it a pretty slow throughout and I kept putting it down.

I want to thank NetGalley, St. Martin’s Press, and St. Martin’s Griffin for the chance to review Not Your Ex’s Hexes by April Asher. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I freaking adored this book! The writing took a little bit to get into, but once I did this book flew by. I couldn’t put it down. The plot was really cute and was the perfect cozy, witchy vibe for fall. I really love Damian. I am always a sucker for a grumpy bad boy and Damian was definitely an instant book boyfriend. His humor with Rose and witty personality instantly had me falling in love. Rose had me cracking up for most of the book. I love how much of a bad bwitch she is and how she’s so confident in herself and her powers. I loved the relationship between Rose and her sisters and how they unconditionally had each other’s back. Olive is probably my favorite Maxwell triplet because she was making me laugh every time she was in a scene. The spice in this book was so sinfully delicious, I was honestly fanning myself while reading. I would give anything for Damian Adams to call me “little witch.” I would give anything for Damian Adams period. I highly recommend reading this book. I didn’t know it was the second in a series when I started, but I honestly think you could read them as stand-alones, too, since I didn’t feel like I missed out on any important information. I will definitely be reading the first (Not the Witch You Wed) and hopefully a third book about Olive.

Really enjoyed this book! Truthfully didn't fully grasp that this was the second in a series but after finishing the book it does make sense, considering I felt the explanation of magic was quick, but not in a rushed kind of way. The only true feedback I'd want to draw attention to is the nickname to calling Lady Gaga Lady G... there are some other individuals who have that moniker and it definitely took me out of the scene for a moment. Overall enjoyed this take on magic and fantasy.

I really enjoyed this book! I think I liked it more than the first book in the series (Not the Witch You Wed), these characters just got to me. A broody grumpy dude with a heart of gold for animals who’s never truly been given the opportunity to love. A sunshine optimist who has to figure out how to use all her talents to find what she truly wants to do with her life after decades of other people making decisions for her. And the chemistry between the two simply lept off the page.

The story seems intriguing, but it wasn't enough to keep me engaged with the added spice. There was too much spice for my taste. I did not finish.

2.5 Stars I was quite excited to get Not Your Ex’s Hexes by April Asher from NetGalley, especially since it’s October and I’m feeling ~witchy vibes~. There have been multiple times that I’ve read a NetGalley book from a series that I hadn’t previously read, but understood what was happening because it was a standalone and necessary details were explained at the beginning of the book. This is sadly not one of those books. I didn’t read the first book, Not the Witch You Wed, and it is definitely necessary. I wasn’t sure who most of the characters were and definitely didn’t understand the rules and goings-on of this universe.

All that being said, I did appreciate the fast pace of the book. It jumped right into the action and there was never a slow moment. I also liked the main character, Rose, and all of the adorable animals at the sanctuary.

Thank you April Asher, St.Martin's Press and NetGalley for an eARC in exchange for an honest review. Not Your Ex's Hexes comes out February 2023!!

Not Your Ex's Hexes is the second in the Supernatural Singles series, although it can be read as a standalone. I loved the first one in the series (Not The Witch You Wed), and Ashers second novel did not disappoint. This story follows Rose, the second sister in a set of witch triplets. After stepping down from her position in the supernatural council and breaking it off from her narcissistic fiancé Rose is on a mission to find her calling and live a little. After a misunderstanding that involved Rose trying to rescue two horse she thought were being maltreated when in fact that they were at a sanctuary owned by half-demon veterinary hottie Damian. To make up for almost stealing the horses Rose is sentenced to 80 hours of volunteer work at the sanctuary. Over the course of her volunteer work will the two keep their distance from each other or figure out that not even an ex's hex can keep them apart.

I absolutely adored this book, it had humor, romance, family and friendship. There was a lot going on in the books so it made for a very fast read, there wasn't a point where I felt like it was to slow. The side characters where an amazing addition to the two main characters , there was a deep sense of found family . An honorable mention to the furry friends that are featured in the book and even thought they weren't real I was rooting for them to heal and find forever homes. I can not wait for the next books in this series, and really I would read anything Asher writes. If you are looking for a cute, fast pace supernatural read, I recommend Not Your Ex's Hexes!

I really enjoyed this book. I hope the author continues to write more books in the future. I can't wait to see what the author releases in the future.

3.5/5 Stars

I really enjoyed reading this book, it was the perfect read for the spooky season and I have been obsessed with anything witchy lately. The fact that we finally get a male love interest who is not a moody rude male was very refreshing and authors everywhere please take note.

Would recommend for a cozy fall read with the cutest romance.

As a follow up to Not the Witch You Wed, Not Your Ex’s Hexes follows the middle sister the Magical Triad, Rose, and her journey to find her new life path after stepping down as the Prima Apparent, and her subsequent romance with Half Demon veterinarian, Damien.

There was plenty in this story that I liked; The world building is great- though I definitely recommend the first book be read before this one, or else much of the story will go over your head- and the characters are all very likable. Asher’s writing is fast paced and fun, and the chemistry between Damien & Rose is great.

However, this story fell short for me in comparison to the first book, and it wasn’t actually because of the story itself, but because of the copious amounts of cutesy euphemisms used throughout the story (ie a vibrator named Mr. Wiggles that is mentioned over and over, silly nicknames like “Pepe le Pee-ew” used constantly, ‘Bwitch’ used in place of the actual word) . These were also present in the first book, but not to the same degree. With their overuse, they lost their charm and became over the top and silly, which made the characters feel like silly teenagers rather than adults. I realize this is a romcom, but not every single interaction needs to have a joke or be funny, and at multiple times throughout the book I was pulled out of moments that should have sucked me in because instead of having conversations, the characters were constantly making quirky jokes and bantering. Don’t get me wrong- bantering is great. And a lot of the banter in this one is good too, but at some point there has to be a balance between banter and conversation that moves the plot along.

Overall, I will continue with this series, but I liked the first book a lot better.

*thank you to Net Galley & St Martins press for providing me with an arc*

Supernatural co workers agree to a fwb/fba no strings attached relationship?! What could possibly go awry..

Hot off a one night stand with her sisters mates best friend, Olive finds herself in a sticky situation forced into community service hours. This forced proximity grumpy x sunshine was everything I needed in a witchy romance.

The angst and the banter as the two main characters tried to keep it platonic had me hooked and the spice was 🔥🔥🔥.

The dramatic irony of the reader instantly knowing who Callie was had me biting my nails as I waited for our mc’s to catch up and what would surely be a great revelation.

I said it when I read Not The Witch You Wed and I’ll say it again now.. I will sell my soul for an Olive and Bax book!

Rose is a witch, the middle of triplets in a powerful family, who is avoiding her mother’s best efforts to set her up and settle her down while trying to find her own path in life. Thanks to an ill fated attempted horse liberation, instead of freedom and fun she’s stuck doing community service at an animal sanctuary. One run by Damian, a half demon and veterinarian. Also known as her former one night stand.
Oof, awkward

But the hours spent working together have them rethinking their agreement to stop things at a one and only time.
Still nothing serious, just some no strings fun…And even if things changed enough that Damian would even *consider* wanting more, a hex from his ex means he can’t let himself fall too far without losing everything, heart and soul.
Nothing could be worth *that* risk, right?

Even though this book is scheduled for a spring release, all the witches and various supernaturals made it a good fall read for me. Packed with fun, banter, and endless pop culture references, this was a much lighter read than you’d expect from a story with a soul on the line.

Now I have to go back and read book one, because I didn’t realize this was a sequel when I first picked it up.

Thanks to @netgalley and @stmartinspress for the ARC

This was my second April Asher book and it definitely won’t be my last.

I loved Rose and Damian’s story with their fabulous chemistry, and witty, fun banter. Both characters had their own internal struggles which felt real and relatable (yes, even with Damian being a half-demon). While Rose is struggling to find her passion in life, she isn’t anyone’s doormat. She’s strong, determined, and a bit of a baddy with a heart of gold. And I couldn’t think of a better witch to crack that hard shell Damian has around his cinnamon roll heart. I mean, he’s a vet running an animal rescue. How could I not love this guy?

These two alone made for a great read, but throw in the supporting cast and it’s a perfect escape. I love the three sisters and not only their relationship but the one they have with their grandmother. And then there’s Harper, the girls’ succubus friend who keeps everyone on their toes (I really hope we get her story). Not only do we get Rose and Damian steaming up the pages, but that tension between Olive and Bax… Oh, boy! Sooo looking forward to book 3.

This is the 2nd book in the Supernatural Singles series and while it can be read as a standalone there are a number of references to the first book so I would recommend starting there (Not the Witch You Wed). This book follows Rose after she steps away from the Prima in training role and tries to find her new path. I really love that Rose isn't afraid to try something new and her misadventures are pretty hilarious on the way to finding herself. We see lots of characters from the first book and I love the dynamic between Rose and her two sisters.
Damian starts off as a bit of a grouch who isn't interested in a relationship. He was burned when he was younger by his witch girlfriend. Now Damian devotes all of his time and attention to the animal sanctuary he works at. It doesn't take long for his sarcastic banter with Rose to turn into more. These two ended up being so cute together, they had great chemistry and brought out the best in each other.
Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin's Publishing for providing me with an ARC of this book!

This was cute and fast paced. It has great characters loved Rose and her friends they were so full of wit and sarcasm. Loved reading and watching Rose and Damian relationship develop throughout the book . It's a short and easy and fun rom com . Pick it up if you want something quick that's perfect for a busy schedule. Thank you to the publishers st Martin's and netgalley for my complementary E Arc.

Loved this romance and loved seeing the sister's again. Loved the heat between rose and damian . I loved seeing her find her way and take risks. I loved seeing the family again. I can't wait to read olly and bax story. I loved seeing everyone and knowing more about the witches.

A fun romcom that totally checked all of the witchy fall spooky but festive and warm vibes I wanted. Swoony romance, witchy times... a great mood read romance.

April Asher’s writing style is superb. The jokes that keep you interested throughout the story, the dialogue set up, the ability to be relatable to reader, etc. is right up my alley.

Book two in the Supernatural Singles series focuses on the second sister Rose Maxwell. Rose has just stepped down as Prima and not quite sure what to do with her life! She is figuring things out including a one night stand with half demon Damian. The two have no desire for a relationship. But when Rose has to do community service at Damian’s animal sanctuary things heat up! Damian thinks Rose won’t last one day but jokes on him Rose has an affinity for helping animals! The two make a deal no feelings only friends with benefits arrangement. But matters of the heart never go to plan especially when there’s a ex hex in place!! ⁣
⁣
I absolutely loved the chemistry between Rose and Damian! I loved Rose and Damian working together to help the animals! I loved how sassy the banter was between them! I loved how blunt Rose was! I loved the growth of both Rose and Damian throughout the book!! The spice was top notch I definitely was sweating and blushing at some parts!! April Asher has done it again!! I truly hope we get book 3 with Olive and Bax because they were hilarious throughout the book!!! ⁣
