I've been so excited for this since I first heard this book was going to be a thing and I'm so glad it didn't disappoint! The characters were fun. The plot was easy. And I think that's what I like about these books. They are just nice, light halloween-esque books that provide the perfect vibes for the fall season without getting too intense. The stakes are relatively light, and the romance is sooo sweet. I think I liked The Ex Hex just a little bit more, but this one was super fun too and if Erin Sterling writes another Halloween, witchy, small town book I will read it 100%

I didn't have time to squeeze this book into my reading list during October, and it seemed off to read it with other holidays right around the corner., I look forward to reading it after the holidays

Love that the Ex Hex continued on bringing a whole new love story between two withes. One firey red head thats trendy and one stoic fudy dudy. Will they might in the middle and find true romance with competing shops? Love a good companion book where i get just that little more about the romance.

A wonderful follow up to THE EX HEX that stands on it's own. The world that Erin Sterling has created feels real and lived in... a small southern town powered by magic it feels real.

The love story was fun and kept you on your toes (as well as the mystery).

Definitely a great read for romance lovers!

Very cute witchy romcom. Living for Wells and Gwyn.

I loved this magical world and I’ll heavily recommend it for spooky season

The 2nd book in The Ex Hex series. I liked it being about opposing shop owners, but not much else about it.

I adored The Ex Hex, and it's possible I adored The Kiss Curse even more! An enchanted talking cat, witchy enemies-to-frenemies-to-lovers, perfect spooky season vibes. (While it's a sequel to Sterling's first witchy romcom, it can also be read as a standalone for those new to the series.)

What a delightful book. Erin Sterling has a magical way of drawing you into her worlds & her characters.

I truly loved getting to know Gwyn -- and watching as her relationship and friendship ebbed and flowed with Wells.

This is the perfect fall book and the best companion novel to The Ex Hex. I loved it!

5/5

Thank you to NetGalley and Avon for an ARC of this book. All opinions in this review are my own.

This is book two in The Ex Hex series, and it was just as fun as the first one. This book follows Gwyn (cousin to book 1's heroine) and Wells (brother to book 1's hero), as they start a fiery competition over magical control of the town of Graves Glen. There are sparks of passion between the two, while also diminishing magic through nefarious circumstances. There are witches in training, a cat that talks, and creepy almost sacrifices of witches. And did I mention passion sparks? Enemies to lovers, HEA, and all the magic. There is one more brother in this series, and I am very excited to see if there is going to be a book three. I thoroughly enjoyed this book.

I absolutely loved this book! It was a perfect Halloween read, and I loved getting to return to Graves Glen. I enjoyed watching Gwyn and Wells banter as they fell for each other. This is the perfect read for any fans of the enemies-to-lovers and GrumpyxSunshine trope.

The Kiss Curse tells us Gwen & Wells' story, which I absolutely loved. This witchy romance takes place in the same 'Halloween' town as the first book, and it's as intriguing and fun as The Ex Hex. Worth the read!

This book was a wonderful follow up to The Ex Hex! I may have even loved it more and I didn’t know that was possible. I laughed a ton and didn’t want to put it down. It was the perfect fall/Halloween read.

I thought this was the perfect follow-up to The Ex Hex. Gwyn and Wells are HOT. There's just something about the strict rule follower and the free spirit falling grudgingly in love that just gets me. Then you add in the perfect backdrop that is Graves Glen falls and it's done for me. Also, the spice. I just....

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC of this novel. Even though I finished this book right before publication date, COVID took me down, and I did not get to post my review..

3.5 stars rounded up to 4.

I actually really enjoyed this story and prefer it over #1 in the series. I really felt the story between Gwyn and Wells was well written and more believable. I enjoyed Gwyn in the first book so her having her own story made me happy.

I do wish there would have been an epilogue and maybe she would have revealed to Wells that she was the purple haired girl. I do feel you could read this book ad a standalone if you don't want to read the 1st in the series, but reading the first wouldn't hurt.

This is a cute, feel good Halloween/fall read.

I’m just a sucker for a witchy book. I just don’t think Sterling’s books are for me. I’m always left a little disappointed and almost bored. This just wasn’t the book for me.

Such a fun paranormal, enemies to lovers romance! It was great to be back in Graves Glen with the familiar characters from The Ex Hex. Here, Wells Penhallow comes to town and opens a competing witchy supply store across from Gwyn’s similar store. The two of them are very competitive, and there’s an undeniable spark between the two.
However, a new cover has come to town and Gwyn can feel her magical powers fading. She and Wells must find a way to get her powers back before they’re gone for good.

A great follow up, 4 stars.

Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed as in this review are completely my own.

I'm a sucker for a witchy Erin Sterling book! The sequel to her first romance novel, The Kiss Curse does bring back some of the series' winning strengths, mostly the supernatural and the chemistry. I sometimes personally feel weird with oversexualization of female characters as a way to empower them. Gwyn maybe suffers from that a little but overall, it was a fun read!

I liked the Ex Hex a lot because it gave me Halloweentown/Gilmore Girls vibes, and I think The Kiss Curse did a pretty good job giving the same mood! You don't get quite as much of the small town festival/celebration feel, but I think you still get some, which I love. The romance was also just as good in this follow up, and I loved all of the spooky touches.

To be honest, this story is a little tame for my taste. BUT I still really enjoyed reading it, the characters are a lot of fun and I definitely felt invested in the story. If you're looking for an easy read that will leave you with a smile on your face- this is the one for you!

Solid Romance. I wanted to love this one more than The Ex Hex but just couldn't for some reason. I loved the atmosphere and the Banter. It had a nice small town romance feel to it. It just didn't hit the mark completely for me and I found myself having a hard time consistently reading.
