I haven't read the 1st book in this series (I didn't even realize when I requested it was #2) but I liked the description and these cute paranormal romcoms are right in my wheelhouse. I didn't feel lost reading #2 first. I thought the romance was adorable. I liked all of the characters, as twee as they were. I'm going to go find the 1st in the series and read it, and look forward to the next.

This is the second book in the series but can be read as a standalone. Rose was supposed to be the next Prima on the Supernatural council until her older sister finally learn to use her powers... Rose had a nightstand with a half-Demon veterinarian and they become entangled.....

Just as funny as the first book.... Love the wit, sarcasm and all the funny moments. I like the romance too. Both are great characters. The plot is terrific too. A wonderful read.

Thanks to the publisher for the arc.

Mostly enjoyable quick read but I unfortunately don’t see it going over well in our libraries.

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

A witch who has trained to be the head of the magical council all her life but has left the position and doesnt know what to do with her life and a very grumpy half demon veterinarian come together in this story of romance, magic, curses, and cute animals. Rose Maxwell has trained to become the next Prima on the Supernatural Council... except she’s stepped down now and is taking time to figure out what she wants to do with her life. After a lifetime of training, working, and studying, she now has all the free time to finally pursue interests and finding out what works for her. After an attempted animal rescue gone wrong she finds herself being forced to volunteer with the most unexpected person... the sexy half-demon she had a one night stand with... who apparently is the owner of an animal shelter and a veterinarian. Damian Adams is a half-demon veterinarian, he gave up his life of as a hunter after being hexed by his ex. If Damian ever falls in love he will lose his soul.... so it doesn’t help when he finds himself stuck with the woman he can’t get out of his head ever since their one night stand... and now she’ll be working around him twenty four seven. Damian doesn’t do relationships, he especially doesn’t do repeats or sleep with the same person after one night, afraid that he’ll end up falling in love and losing his soul... so when Rose offers an alternative: just friends with benefits and no feelings, he can’t resist. Yet the more time they spend together the harder it gets, especially when working and sleeping together. Yet when Rose decides to take up becoming a hunter Damian can’t help but return to his old life, if only to keep her safe. Will he finally succumb to the curse and fall in love with the sweet and sunshiney woman who has taken resident in his work space and in his bed room or will he give up on the woman he is falling in love with to save his soul. This was such a cute witchy rom com, filled with amazing side characters ( seriously I can’t wait to read the next book/couple) and adorable moments. I’m a sucker for the grumpy x sunshine trope and this definitely hit the spot!

3.5 stars
Not Your Ex’s Hexes was a great follow up to Not the Witch You Wed! I loved getting to see Rose live her own life after being the Prima Apparent. Some of the dialogue fell a little flat for me in this one, maybe a little forced but overall I really enjoyed it! It was the perfect read for this time of year. I’m looking forward to the Olivia/Bex book, I cannot WAIT for that one!
Thank you to Netgalley and St. Martin’s Griffin for this arc ebook in exchange for an honest review. All opinions expressed are mine.

I've been looking forward to the second book in this series since halfway through the first book and this definitely didn't disappoint! This is such a fun series: enough paranormal action to satisfy someone looking for something in that genre, but there's also enough background information to be a great choice for someone just coming to the sub-genre, and a lack of the jerky alphahole hero character that many paranormal readers (me included) love but that can be a turn off or barrier to entry for people.

I would have loved a little more backstory for Damian, and a little more self-discovery for Rose. The book feels a little long, but I'm not sure where we could have trimmed some fat to put in more meat. It's a wonderfully fun read, though, and I would truly take a dozen books in this incredibly interesting supernatural world, particularly because of its accessibility to new paranormal romance readers. I'm looking forward to the next book already!
