Wow. This was so cute! This felt like a spicy, feel-good episode of Charmed. I came into this series starting with book two and while I can tell there’s a few things I’ve missed, the overall feel of this book is independent of book one. My guess is that book one deals with one of the triplets. I like that this series leaves many paths to take for future books and I’m so excited to dive into those when they’re available. 10/10 recommend reading this series if you’re into witchy vibes with a dash of spice.
Special thanks to NetGalley and St. Martin’s Griffin Publishing for the opportunity to read this in exchange for an honest review.

April Asher’‘S prose is rich and evocative, painting a vivid picture of a world where spells and potions intermingle with everyday life. The characters are well-developed; Rose Maxwell is relatable, grappling with her insecurities and the expectations of her coven, while Damian Adams embodies the brooding, mysterious love interest with layers that unfold beautifully throughout the narrative.
The romance is both tender and tumultuous, exploring themes of trust and vulnerability. April Asher’ expertly balances the witchy elements with heartfelt moments, creating a story that feels both magical and grounded.

I love a good witchy romance, and this one? It was fine. Nothing spectacular, but still pretty good. I love a grump/sunshine trope, and that was done well. I loved the sister dynamics and the role family played.
I didn’t realize going into this book that it was second in a series, but it worked totally fine as a standalone. It was really reminiscent of other witchy romances I’ve read - so much so I had to double check that it wasn’t something I’d already read before.
Rose had a compelling story as a background character in the first book so I was excited for this one. Definitely an opposite's attract story and I enjoyed Rose's attempts to find her new calling after giving up the council position for her sister. I didn't love how arrogant the MMC was about her attempts in demon hunting but that's just a plot point. These books are the first books with shifters in them that I've ever read and was pleasantly surprised to enjoy all the magical beings around.
This one was a DNF - sometimes I forget that witchy romcoms aren't my favorite, and I shouldn't have requested it! My fault for thinking I could muddle through, nothing wrong with the book itself.
Thank you to NetGalley for allowing me to read this book.!
3.5 stars!
This book is very fun and lighthearted. It’s a romance between a witch and a half-demon and I am a sucker for witchy books especially!
There was a little too much banter at times but I overall enjoyed it!
April Asher is just the best and this is equally true. Rose and Damian are fire and ice and EVERYTHING nice. I loved the vet/volunteer dynamics and seeing how their two worlds, that were really one, collided. Also, their friends with benefits.....so hot!
Thank you to the author and publisher for the advanced eCopy. I liked this one a lot!
Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martins Press for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.
After reading, and loving, Not the Witch You Wed, I was so excited to get an eARC of Not Your Ex's Hexes. Unfortunately, it didn't scratch the same itch that the first did for me. I am not sure if it's the tropes included, the time that I picked up the book, or something else, but after ~20% I put it down in favor of other books. The writing is good, and the chemistry was building between the characters, but it wasn't for me. I do think this book would be a good fit for those who like a paranormal romance, sort of second chance, friends-with-benefits book. I will certainly keep this book in mind for times when those moods fit better!
Supernatural Singles was delightful, fun, and naturally full of magic! This series has been an absolute knock out so far! Their magical romance was griping with a bit of a bite to it! Perfect for a sweet little "spooky" rom com!
"Not Your Ex’s Hexes" by April Asher is a magical and enchanting romance that effortlessly blends humor, heart, and a touch of the supernatural. The story follows the delightful journey of a witch navigating the complexities of love and magic after a breakup. Asher's witty and engaging writing brings the quirky characters to life, creating a world that is both whimsical and relatable. The plot is filled with charming twists and laugh-out-loud moments, making it a thoroughly enjoyable read. For those who love a good mix of romance and magic, "Not Your Ex’s Hexes" is a bewitching choice!
This one was cute! The characters definitely made the story. Rose and Damian are so stubborn, but also have different outlooks on things. Their banter was great, and there is a fun grand gesture in there. Just an overall fun witchy story!
April Asher is back with the sexy witches and shapeshifter romances! Her books are always spicy but have some great deep conversations! I can't wait to read her new one!
Not Your Ex’s Hexes by April Asher is the second book in the paranormal romance Supernatural Singles series. Just like a lot of romance series the Supernatural Singles series changes main characters in each new book of the series with the world building being what ties them together. Since we have new characters this book can be read as a standalone or out of order if choosing to do so.
Rose Maxwell has spent her life preparing to join the supernatural council but now that she’s stepped down she needs to figure out what to do next. What Rose doesn’t want to do is put any more thought into her mistake of a one night stand with the half-demon Damian Adams but of course Rose gets forced into doing just that.
Much to Roses’ dismay she gets sentenced to community service at none other than Damian’s animal sanctuary. Being so closed to the sexy veterinarian is not what Rose wanted but now she’s beginning to think maybe there just might be a benefit to being so close while Rose figures out what her next steps will be in life.
The Supernatural Singles series is probably best described as taking a contemporary romance and setting it up in a supernatural world. There’s witches, werewolves and demons…oh my! But at the heart of the story in this second book we have sort of a second chance enemies to lovers with the prior hook up but the forbidden demon character. Lotsa laughs and a relationship in the making kept the pages turning in this one and when done I’ll look forward to seeing what’s in store for the next singles in the series.
I received an advance copy from the publisher via NetGalley.
I loved this book! It's well-written, enjoyable, and a great read. The author did a great job of writing in a way that captures the readers attention, and makes you not want to put it down until you're finished! I would highly recommend it!
Thank you for my early copy, Netgalley! I love a holiday-themed book and this was no exception. It was a light, easy read with just the right amount of magic for me. Definitely enjoyed.
Thank you for allowing me to review this book! After reading "Not The Witch You Wed," I knew I had to read this book also about the sister. As with the previous book, I really enjoyed this book. I loved seeing this sister handle all the training that she has gone through in order to carry on to be the next leader. I enjoyed the banter between our two main characters. I also liked all the angst these two had for each other, It made their relationship that much more believable. Overall, I really enjoyed this book. And of course, it had to also be finished in one day.
I hadn’t realized this was the second book in a series when I requested it, but I was fine just jumping right E was great banter and dialogue and the story was interesting and sweet. I enjoyed this book very much and plan to go back and read the first and subsequent books in the series.
I am loving all of the witchy RomCom's coming out this past year. This one made it high up on my TBR list and I was delighted to get an ARC copy! The book is not only sweet, but funny with the right amount of spice.
Super cute book that is definitely a feel good read. The main characters were amazing and so well written.
