Thank you Netgalley, April Asher, and publishers for gifting me a copy of Not Your Exes Hexes in return for my honest opinion.

3.5/5 stars

This is a cute super natural read. After Rose and Damian have a one-night stand neither can get the other out of their heads. When Rose is forced to complete community service she is also forced to spend time with Damian who runs the animal sanctuary. Their no strings attached relationship works for a while until they both start to have feelings for the other. But for Damian having feelings for someone could mean that his heart will break, literally due to a hex put on him by an ex-girlfriend. Will their love be strong enough to break the curse?

While I did enjoy reading this book I felt at times the author told us as much as showed us. For example "Taking Rose off guard, Damian hurled her into a hot, hard kiss that nearly melted her from the inside out." This does absolutely nothing for me, it doesn't make me think oh yeah what a hot kiss... I wanted to be able to close my eyes and put myself in the scene but it was just kind of anti-climatic.

While I'm glad that I read this book and would recommend it to supernatural romance fans I wouldn't pick it up to read it a second time.

A huge improvement from the first book especially in regards to the use of gender essentialist rhetoric. The writing style has greatly improved as well and all the world building quirks felt camp and intentionally silly instead of just awkward. I loved Rose and Damien and their FWB arrangement that grew into love. I thoroughly enjoyed Damien’s growth as a character as well. Can’t wait for Olive’s book!

Disclaimer I did not complete the first book in the series, so I was not aware of the first sister’s love story but it did not take away from my reading experience.

I really enjoyed this book! We have the sister who was the golden child witch and was supposed to follow in grandma’s footsteps finally free of that role and unsure what to do. When she makes a decision that causes chaos, she gets to be with the demon veterinarian who rocked her world as a one-night stand. It was nice to see the characters go from aggressive to friends with benefits then more. I liked how magic was causing a lot of the issues between them and it was something that had to solve if they wanted to continue. The ending was adorable! I think I can take guess how the third sisters book with go.

I loved reading Rose’s story. I was hooked from the beginning and devoured this in one day. The characters are so well developed and each relationship feels so organic it’s easy to become immersed in the Maxwell universe.

This book is laugh-out-loud funny with a big heart. Add in some spice with a grumpy demon and you have the perfect book.

I don’t have the best memory when it comes to books so I appreciate that this could be read as a stand-alone. It’s also not too difficult to follow along with the different paranormals introduced throughout the book. It’s a perfect mix of magic and mortals. I can’t wait to read Olive’s book.

You know, even though the world building is completely ridiculous in this series, I really love that it is at least internally consistently strange. I really enjoy the world Asher has created and I'm loving all of these characters. I can't wait to read book three in the series.

Not Your Ex's Hexes is about Rose, who spent her whole life training to be the Prima and now that she no longer has to fulfill that role, she's trying to figure out what exactly it is that she DOES want. What is it that she finds fulfilling? And the thing is, Rose doesn't know that. But I really loved watching her sort of figure that out, even if I think that thread got lost a bit toward the end. Anyway, part of the journey of figuring herself out leads to her being thrown together with Damian Adams, whom she had an explosive one night stand with as well. The two of them have great chemistry, but he is so... buttoned up, honestly, that it winds up being really fun watching him slowly come undone. There are so many hijinks in this book that the plot sort of takes over the characters at times, but in a way that was largely really enjoyable.

I liked both the audiobook and the physical format of reading this book and would recommend either option!

Another solid installment to April Asher’s witchy series. I really enjoyed the chemistry between Rose and Damian, and of course I love the witty banter!

I love this series and the Maxwell sisters. The half demon and witch are a wonderful pairing. I can’t wait to see what is in store for the youngest Maxwell sister when the next book is released.

Not Your Ex's Hexes is one of April Asher's Supernatural Singles books. The chemistry between Rose and Damian was great. The pacing moved pretty well. I loved the animal sanctuary setting! Whether you're ready for romantic witchy vibes or not, Asher's writing is worth it. This was cute, spicy, and a fun read.

In continuation of her “Supernatural Singles” series, author April Asher highlights another Maxwell sister, this time Rose. Of the three Maxwell sisters Olivia, Violet, Rose was destined to become the next Prima, or head witch of the Supernatural council. Until her sister Violet discovers she has magic, can the power and role as the next Prima be hers. Rose steps aside to let Violet rule and live life outside her family’s expectations. This leads her to execute risky behaviors regarding the safety of select horses at a nearby Animal Sanctuary. Rose is caught trying to release the horses as she believed they were treated harshly and is sentenced to community service. However the animals she believed were harmed had recently been rescued by the owner of the sanctuary. In a moment of happenstance, that owner is Damian Adams, a half-Demon Veterinarian, someone Rose had a one night stand with. Clue he’s grumpy she’s sunshine.As the novel progresses does Rose’s insight regarding fulfillment and worth increase. This shows in Rose undoubtedly becoming closer to Damian not only physically but emotionally. Can Damian learn to love and be loved in return ? Will the “hex”placed by Damian’s ex be the end of their story ? Stay tuned.Romantic tropes that were present in this book include but not exclude the following grumpy-sunshine and forced proximity. This novel is one that I could see fans of Charlene Harris vibe with as the Sookie Stackhouse novels were in mind when experiencing this story. I received an advanced readers copy of this book in exchange for an honest review of this novel. Out of five stars on goodreads I gave it a strong three out of five.

This was a good supernatural read!

The story is about a witch and a demon and their one night stand that leads to more.

The story was engaging and I was intrigued by the story line.

It can be read as a standalone but does have a first book in an interconnected series.

A grumpy, reformed demon and a witch trying to find her way in the world meet (again) in an unusual way and end up falling for each other. The premise sounds simple and straightforward, but it's anything but as to find their happy ending, Damian and Rose must overcome a hex placed on Damian by his vengeful ex girlfriend.
This is my first book by April Asher and I must say I'm a fan. There's so much to love here-great chemistry, witty banter, lots of heart, a host of loveable supporting characters, and steam-lots of steam.
4 stars

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the chance to read and review this title.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the eARC to review.

I absolutely adored everything about this! April Asher is a fantastic story teller! I can’t wait to see what’s next!

Grumpy/sunshine trope at its finest!

Not Your Ex's Hexes was both not what I was expecting and exactly what I was expecting. In all honesty, I was not a fan of the first book, Not the Witch You Wed, but Rose's story looked like it was going to be a whirlwind story. With all of the craziness of Violet finding her magic and taking over the Prima Apparent spot and getting together with Link, then (Rose) losing her fiancé (for the better); Rose has been through the ringer. I wanted to know what she was going to do after all of that.

I liked Rose and Damian, as characters. I thought they had more depth than Violet and the whole idea of a soul hex was interesting. Certain parts of the story felt a little too convenient or flat to keep you invested, but that seems to be more and more common with romance today. Their relationship was great and the chemistry was there, but the pacing was not great. Parts of the story seemed to fly by and then we get to about halfway and I was struggling to force myself to continue.

Overall, it wasn't a standout but it was much better than the first book. I feel like you actually saw improvement with the author's writing and I'm all for that.

I loved this book and I love this series! I am so looking forward to book 3 with the Maxwell sisters. The romance is there. I love a good curse. And the body diversity is wonderful. She is tall and solid and the have demon just loves her for it. There were so many of my favorite tropes in this one, from grumpy sunshine, to one being inexperienced, I just love it!

An adorable grumpy sunshine story. I live for a quick read! I look forward to the next book in this series.

We love a good enemies to FB to lovers. Cause y’all know when they say no strings, someone’s gonna fall. I think that’s just how the cookie crumbles and I’m here for it! And it’s part of the supernatural world, so it’s just some steamy supernatural love stories.

This one follows the eldest Maxwell triplet: Rose, and the demon hunter turned vet, Damian. After a one night stand, they don’t realize just how closely their lives intwine. His best friend is now married to one of her sisters. And after attempting to save a horse, she ends up with some community service, which just so happens to be at HIS practice.

This one had me laughing, and I was hooked instantly. If you read the first one, I honestly think this one held me tighter than the last and I can’t wait to see what book 3 holds for Olive.

Alright, first things first: I have decided to remove my star rating of this book. The primary reason is that this is SO outside my general reading preferences that it feels a little unfair to rate it poorly when I could have probably predicted that I wouldn't like it very much.

What I DID like: the basic premise is a lot of fun, and I love paranormal romance in concept, at least. The characters are all pretty well fleshed out, and each has their own stories going on--some of which, I can tell, will have their own stories in the future. The banter was charming!

What I DIDN'T like: the continuity was lacking. A lot of things felt like they were meant to be recurring--repeating multiple times in short succession--before being dropped completely. Other things were introduced near the end and then suddenly became an all-encompassing thing. Certain plot events kind of came or went without explanation, and the ending hinged entirely on like... one earlier scene that was not all that dwelt upon in the first place. In general, it didn't feel like story events had a lot of consequences, either, they just sort of... happened.

Also maybe it's because I am queer, but those sex scenes simply did not do it for me.

All in all, a fun and lighthearted romp. Maybe it's a book for others, but it just wasn't the book for me.

Another delightful rom com about the Maxwell sisters. Damian was a fantastic romantic hero. The ending was a little too neat though. Still a fun read!

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 very fun, and I liked atmosphere. A perfect option for your spooky season rom com!

Our two love interests, Rose and Damian, are brought back together after a one-night stand when Rose gets mandated to serve community service hours at Damian’s animal sanctuary. Rose is having a hard time finding a stable job that's a good fit after stepping down as the Prima Witch, and she’s a natural with the animals…as well as a natural with Dr. Broody McGrumpy Pants aka Damian. They rekindle their romance in the form of a FWB agreement, but it’s risky considering Damian is hexed and may risk losing out to his inner demon.

This is the second installment in the Supernatural Singles series, and even though I hadn’t yet read the first novel, I decided to give this a go knowing that usually with romance novels, they can be read as standalones. I was able to jump right in and get to know these characters, even though I didn’t have prior knowledge. This paranormal romance had a whole bunch of fun characters including witches, vampires, demons, and shapeshifters.

I enjoyed the fun romance between our resident half-demon and powerful “little witch”. I also enjoyed Damian’s backstory with how he was hexed and how it has affected his adult life. I think the relationships were a strength in this novel - you can see the connections, even if that character doesn’t get much page time.

With that all being said, I did struggle with the comical moments in this. Mid-fighting a demon, they were all cutting jokes, and the demon would joke back. It was a little too Buffy meets sitcoms for me, and the dialogue just wasn’t believable. It was also a bit too low stakes for me. Rose is hurt at one point, but I never worried about her or any of the “dangerous” situations they were in. Partly due to the joking, light banter with the criminals they were supposed to bring in?

I’m excited to read the third installment which will be Olly’s love story with our favorite guardian angel ;)
