Imagine coming from a family where for generations the women are claiming to be hexed witches, where the focus is getting the magic back even when there’s obviously no magic.
Fast approaching 30, Delia is trying to set up yet another business whilst coming to terms with numerous failures behind her, being terminally single and supposedly being her families chance at recovering their magic.
This was really good, the magic system worked perfectly, the romance was magical and I loved the characters, especially Nikki.
Definitely recommend reading.

Hot Hex Boyfriend was an enjoyable read. There were funny parts that made laugh out loud, a mix of wonderfully weird and eccentric characters all set in a world of secrecy, magic, hexes and romance. Delia and Max were very cute together and I liked that the author took time to build that connection. I did think that the first half of the book was a bit slow and there was maybe too much world building and periphery characters introduced who were not particularly integral to the plot. I got to about 50% and the main crux of the story had not even happened yet!! However the story did pick up and the plot moved along much quicker after that. Would not mind reading more set in this world (Luc, Amy and Nikki need books of their own!). 3.5 🌟

4.25/5

For a book that's marketed as that "a witch breaks a hex and gains magic", I'm disappointed that there was no breaking hex until 48% of the book, and gaining magic until 60% of the book. I mean seriously, half of the book was mostly just exposition. I was expecting something else whatsoever, but tbh, I liked this book anyway.

It was cute and nice and I vibed with it. It's a cozy read for Halloween and I recommend this book.

Delia was quirky and fun, and Max was broody and stoic - until he wasn't. I loved how much he liked Delia from the start, despite the fact that he shouldn't, but when he accepted it, he didn't let anything stand in their way. I understand Delia's freak out about accidentally bewitching him, and I'm somehow glad that she wasn't angry about the role he played in everything since the beginning.

The background characters were fun too. I love how Luc embraced life in the village, and how Amy wanted more, and the Merryweather witches who were so excited to find out the truth. But my favourite one was Nikki. He was amazing, fun, well-written, mysterious and just great. I loved him.

The ending was a surprise but an interesting one! It kept me on my toes and I did shed a tear. The book was great and I thoroughly enjoyed it. hope that the author will continue to write books in this universe - I would love to read stories about Amy, Luc, and Nikki. And to revisit Delia and Max, of course.

Thank you, NetGalley, for the digital ARC of this book in exchange fir my honest opinion.

A less dark, more sweet cousin of Practical Magic. This is my fave kind of POV, so it was a really easy read, though there was a little too much time spent on set up. Great leads with great, tense chemistry, and brilliant secondary characters, and just all round great vibes!!

Delia is from a family who very openly tell people that they're witches, despite not having any magic. All that changes though when Delia accidentally breaks the Hex that was - it turns out - responsible for them being magicless. Mayhem ensues!

Overall I quite enjoyed this book, but I think maybe it needed more of the family (who were brilliant) and less of the MMC, who was kind of dull. The pacing was a bit off, and it did feel like the book was going on a bit long, which is a shame as the last quarter is where it really came into its own.

I received a copy from the publisher in exchange for an honest review

I love a good Halloween/autumn cosy read and despite not usually being in to fantasy I’m a sucker for a witchy Rom com!

This would be the perfect read to get you in the Halloween spirit with a cosy blanket and a pumpkin spice anything.

If you’re a fan of the Erin Sterling or Kate Johnson you will love this too
