i never ended up downloading this, i've been reading other reviews on this and it sounds pretty good, so i might go get it~

Hello Gemmies! I have an entertaining new book review to share with you today. Please note: I received a digital ARC of this book (via NetGalley) from its publisher in exchange for an honest and fair review.

A History of Hexing by Evie Wilde is the second book in the Enchanted Academy Series. After reading the first book I was looking forward to this one and it did not disappoint. A History of Hexing was a super fun and fast read. Like book one, the cover art is eye catching and immediately lets me know i'm going to be immersed in a world full of magic. Evie Wilde's writing style is very detailed with good character development. The story has a lot of twists and turns and takes a slightly darker turn than A Class of Conjuring which I really enjoyed.

We continue to follow the story of witch, Cassandra Clarke and her harem of men. I enjoyed the relationship between Cassandra and her men a lot better in this second installment. I liked that the group dynamic was problematic. It made the situations more plausible. Everyone having to support each other through various trials enhanced the overall storyline.

A History of Hexing has plenty of action, magic, mayhem, lust, and of course an evil enemy who wants to take over the world....again. Evie Wilde has built a fun magical system that makes this world feel unique. Published by Wisteria Lane Press, A History of Hexing is available for purchase from all major booksellers. I give A History of Hexing 3 out of 5 gems. I'm looking forward to reading the next installment in this witchy series. Happy Reading!

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review. Just loved this book and recommend it to everyone.

This book was a little better than the first. Cassandra is practicing her magic with her guys and that seems to be helping. Actually the only reason I read this book was because of her men. They are all getting closer until Kyler sees someone from his past and he begins to distance himself. Archmage Edius does some evil things and the gang has to stop him.. that is pretty much the book. Yes obviously there are details but it wasn't really that interesting or unique.

I think if Cassandra was different, I would have been really into this story because the guys were pretty good. Unfortunately this storyline has been told so many times that if you don't like a character, it kind of ruins the whole thing. I happen to like the academy "chosen one" story. I especially love it when there are multiple men. If read many, many books like that. This one is not one that will stick with me. Cassandra is just too naive and too annoying for me to enjoy fully.

I liked this one a bit better than the first book in the series. The characters were a little bit more fleshed out, yet I still don't get why Cass is the chosen one and she is very overprotected by the four boys. I also felt the plot was very thin and could have been a lot more complex than what it is. It's fast paced and easy to read though.

I actually liked this one more than the first book. I think the characters were fleshed out more and even though I still had issues with the way all the men spoke, I found myself enjoying this one much more. There was action, lust, disasters, and of course the big bad evil. It was all fast paced and easy to read. Overall, this was fun and sexy and a pretty good time.

The second book made me fall in love with the characters even further. You get to know them better and learn more about what makes them tick. The second book is even better than the first with lots of unexpected turns and twists. Also I'm still frustrated with Kyler for kinda acting like a douche

The second Book in Enchanted Academy continues the story of Cassandra and her boys as they investigate the strange sleeping hex that is befalling magic users around the country. As they investigate, they discover that the villains are much closer to home than expected and their own pasts become suspect as they delve into the nature of this new hex.

Once again - this is a reverse harem novel with explicit sexual content. Although there is a bit more character background in this novel, I still feel like it is lacking in character development. There is less mystery in the plot this time around too.

Unfortunately, I had already signed up for this book on NetGalley before reading A Class of Conjuring. I held out hopes that it might have been a bit better. But, as you can no doubt gather from my one-star rating, it wasn't.
Again the writing left a lot to be desired, the characters were lacking and the plot just seemed jumbled and thrown together. I had had high hopes for these books, but no, it's just not for me. The five main characters went on and on about their special connection, but really the only sign of it was the fact that they kept bringing it up. I won't be reading any more in this series, thankfully.
I received a complimentary copy of this book through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

I couldn't get through book 1 and had to DNF it so I'm definitely not going to read book 2.

Review of book 1:

I really thought I was going to like this book. I even requested book two already on Netgalley as well because I was soooo sure I'd like it. I disliked it so much that I had to DNF it 😭

Writing style: This was my biggest problem with the book. The writing just didn't make sense at all. It was so very sloppy. It's like the author just wrote her first draft and never looked back on it.

Characters: I kept forgetting who was who and what they looked like. They seemed to have proper personalities when they were first introduced but then they acted completely differently later in the book. I absolutely hate it when characters aren't written consistently.

Story: We have our typical chosen one at a magical school trope, but I generally love books about witches so my opinion on the chosen one trope shouldn't have mattered. With all my opinions on this book, I also got annoyed with the badly written chosen one trope and I just couldn't get past the cliché.

Reverse harem: This book is supposed to be a reversed harem romance... 1) there's no romance to be found anywhere, only unanswered lust. 2) she's not necessarily interested in all the dudes, just the one...

I think it's very clear I did not like this book. I definitely won't be reading book 2. A DNFed book always gets one star from me and this time is no different.

"A History of Hexing" is a novel that successfully combines magical and erotic elements in a battle against a seemingly overpowering opponent.
