Review: Not Your Ex's Hexes by April Asher

 

In April Asher’s next Supernatural Singles novel, Not Your Ex's Hexes, a one-night-stand between a willful witch and a broody half-demon conjures an adventure that wouldn’t be complete without several magical mishaps.

For her entire life, Rose Maxwell trained to become the next Prima on the Supernatural Council. Now that she’s stepped down, it’s time for this witch to focus on herself. And not think about her impulsive one-night stand with Damian Adams, a half-Demon Veterinarian who she can’t get out of her head. Neither of them is looking for a relationship. But when Rose is sentenced to community service at Damian’s animal sanctuary it becomes impossible for them to ignore their sparking attraction. A friends-with-benefits, no feelings, no strings arrangement works perfectly for them both.

After a sequence of dead-end jobs, it’s not until Rose tangos with two snarly demons that she thinks she’s finally found her path. However, this puts Damian back on the periphery of a world he thought he left behind. He doesn’t approve of Rose becoming a Hunter, but if there's one thing he's learned about the stubborn witch, it was telling her not to do something was one sure-fire way to make sure she did.

Working—and sleeping—together awakens feelings Damian never knew he had...and shouldn't have. Because thanks to his ex's hex, if he falls in love, he'll not only lose his heart—but his humanity.

My Review

Not Your Ex's Hexes by April Asher
My rating: 5 of 5 stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I really enjoyed Rose and Damian's book. I love witchy books and this one wasn't super angsty as some tend to be. Rose is just trying to find her place after stepping down from her role as prima apparent. So she's experiencing things she wasn't always able to before. Damian is a grump which of course I love. And I love that Rose is always teasing him.

After training her entire life to become the next Prima, she now has time to focus on herself. Her first big move is to indulge in a one-night stand with the alluring stranger she meets at a bar. They never exchange names but that doesn't stop her from thinking about him.

So imagine her surprise when she's sentenced to community service with the very man she hooked up with. He's a half-demon veterinarian whose animal sanctuary is in need of a little money. He doesn't want to turn to his old way of making money, hunting, but he could use the cash flow. When Rose makes the suggestion for fundraising he immediately rejects the idea but she's able to eventually win him over.

Their attraction becomes undeniable the more time they spend together, so they agree to a no strings attached, friends-with-benefits arrangement. It's the only thing he can commit to after his ex hexed him.

Thanks so much to the author and St. Martin's Press for this ARC to review.
