Not your Ex's Hexes is the next book in April Asher's Supernatural singles, involving Rose, second youngest of the three triplet sisters, and Damian a half demon who has turned his act around from his teenage years.

This book is more about the love story than the paranormal part, but the supernatural is sprinkled nicely throughout. Rose and Damian have great chemistry and any book that includes animals, especially puppies will always have a place in my heart. Rose and Damian get off to have a great start with a one night stand, and continues with Rose attempting to rescue an already rescued horse from Damian's Animal Sanctuary.
Throughout her hours of community service Rose and Damian agree to a friends with benefits arrangement, but Damian has to be careful of his hex, that ensures if he falls in love he will lose both his heart and soul.
Along the way we get to witness Rose and Damians hilarious banter, and fun adventures including bounty hunting, bingo and puppy rescues. We continue to catch glimpses of Roses sisters, and the building of anticipation for Olive's story, which I am super excited for!
As with her previous book, this book contains some excellent spice, and the chemistry between Rose and Damian feels natural. Also included is a touch of enemies to lovers, one night stands, and forced proximity. Predictable at times, but if you're looking for a sweet, low stakes supernatural love story I would suggest checking this series out.
Thank you to Net Galley and St.Martins Press for providing this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I’m conflicted about what to rate this book. I loved the characters and the world we are in but it felt like there were too many storylines going on.

I did love the Pop Culture mixed with humor the book had going on. Even the chapter titles were funny!

All in all it was a good book & should be checked out.

My Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Finished: 11/23/22


The sequel to Not the Witch You Wed, this supernatural romantic comedy was really cute! I actually enjoyed this story over the first book. It features Rose, who has to do community service at an animal sanctuary, and encounters someone she had a one night stand with who is the veterinarian.

I really enjoyed the supernatural elements in this series. Damian is a half demon, and Rose is a witch. In this world, humans do know that vampires and shifters and more are real and coexist together.

When Rose starts to come into the sanctuary regularly, they agree to have a friends with benefits agreement. But things aren't as simple as they seem when they start to develop feelings for each other.

The only complaint I have is there was too much dialogue for Olive and her roommate situation. I think it could have been cut way down to only 2 or 3 conversations. But I will be excited to read the book for her. 😊

Thank you, NetGalley, for this ebook in exchange for an honest review.

Huge thanks to Netgalley and St. Martin’s for my earc!

I absolutely loved this one as much as the first one. Damian and Rose were phenomenal characters. I loved their chemistry so much.

Their banter has me laughing so much. Seeing Damian fall for Rose was so sweet and adorable. Just love their relationship so much.

I can’t wait for Olive’s story next!

Not Your Ex’s Hexes is another one of those books where I read the second book first before the first one. Which, I don’t really think you need to read the first one first. It’s okay to read them out of order as they focus on the love life of a different sibling. But I digress. Rose was training to be the Prima her entire life until her older sister finally came into her magic. She now gets to live life the way she wants to. Which got her into some trouble with the law.

Having to do time at the local animal shelter in town with a half-demon grumpy veterinarian, Rose finally finds her calling along with getting roped into some hunting by his brother. It also started with a one-night stand. The relationship budding between the two is… fantastic. I loved the banter. I loved the sparks. I loved everything about it. I truly enjoyed the magic in this book and every character too. Would I read this again? Yes. Will I buy this? Yes.

Thanks to St. Martin’s Griffin and Netgalley for the early arc in exchange for an honest review.

This was a tough one to get through. I wanted so badly to love it but it just dragged on and took me too long to get through it.

Not Your Ex's Hexes is a great lighthearted paranormal romance featuring a half demon and a witch. Our protagonist links up not long after a memorable night together and agree to a no strings attached relationship.

I loved the concept of Not Your Ex's Hexes. First, we have Daiman who has changed his life around after a nasty hex was placed on him as a teen. Daiman's personality meshed well with confident headstrong Rose who allows her heart to make her decisions. Their relationship was fun to watch. But even more fun were the chaos triplets known as the Maxwell sisters.

I recommend not your Ex's Hexes if you're in the mood for a paranormal, bad boy, opposites attract romance with a hint of chaotic sisters in the mix.

Thank you Netgalley and St. Martin's press for the advanced reader's copy.

I didn't like this one but I still enjoyed the read it was something different. Though I'm not sure I will read anything else by this author.

Thank you to Netgalley and St. Matrin's Press for providing an eARC copy.

Super cute sequel to the first book! I highly recommend that you do read the first book to get full context for this story as there is some background that you can't fully comprehend or get the full context unless you read the first book.

The romance plot is typical and done very cutely. One night stand - meet again in the future - enemies to lovers.

The banter between the two main characters was super fun and their chemistry was hot hot hot.

I wish that that were more uses of Rose's, the main characters, magic. There were only simple small references or uses of it. I really wish there was a larger part of magic in the book since it is a paranormal witch romance.

I can't wait for the continued stories of the rest of the characters!

Small annoyance - I didn't like the "bwitch" term that was used throughout the book, like just say bitch.

I'm not a big fan of spooky books, but this one was great! April has such a way of making the inplausible seem totally real and normal. It's such a fun take on a romcom. I loved the premise and how Rose is really going through it, and then Damian just happens.

The whole thing was so clever and fun to read!

April Asher reels their reader in with their witchy characters and broody love interests. As Rose and Damian enter into their friends-with-benefits situationship, I was blown away by the tension. Not only is this book an incredible representation of lust and yearning, it provides elements of comedy to soften the mood, making these relationships so palpable and believable. This sequel really showcases Asher's talents at world building, character development, tension making, and mind-blowing romance. If you are someone who loves rom-coms and witches, this is the perfect book for you. It doesn't take itself too seriously, as Rose and Damian don't take their initial encounters at first, making for one entertaining read that you won't want to miss. Quick witted and very sexy, Not Your Ex's Hexes has solidified itself as a yearly reading for spooky season.

This was an enjoyable story. I like the characters especially Damian. Rose & Damian’s banter was priceless. Definitely a enjoyable story with amazing characters. The only thing that bugged me was that Rose just didn’t take somethings seriously. But overall a good book.

Thank you to St. Martin’s Press and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this book.

April Asher’s 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.

I really enjoyed this book. I loved the banter, the fantasy and the humor. I truly loved Rose and Damian together, and the flirting! Had me intrigued the whole time.

Supernatural (both the show and the genre) fans, check this one out! A witch and a half demon walk into a bar… no, really! From a quick hot hookup to running an animal sanctuary together was not an arc I expected but I liked it! Damian had me every time he said “little witch”. Loved the triplets. Loved the Buffy references. Will look for the others in the series.

Such a cute and fun read during this time of year! What is there not to love about a half-demon vet and a spunky witch?! However, we all know that friends with benefits never work... someone always catches feelings.
I loved Rose and Damian- their banter was absoulutely fabulous and made this book so enjoyable.
The atmosphere was incredible and the theme of finding your true self made this book something I will definitely re-read. I have not yet read the first in the series, but am automatically going to read the next in the series.

Thank you to the publisher and author for an ARC copy in exchange for my honest review.

Another fun book in the Supernatural Singles series.
The last time we saw Rose Maxwell, she was unseated as the next Prima on the Supernatural Council by her older sister, much to her relief, and unloaded her vile fiance. Now, Rose is trying to figure who she actually wants to be after spending her whole life being groomed for Prima.
Not Your Ex's Hexes follows Rose's adventures in self-discovery and finding love with bad boy/demon turned grumpy veterinarian, Damian Adams.
As a huge fan of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, I loved all the references and call backs in this book. This book makes me feel like I am living in the demon world created in Buffy and Angel, where demons, witches, shifters and more live in a loose-harmony with "normies".
The romance was very hot with great banter and sexual tension leading into Rose and Damian's no-strings attached, friends with benefits situation.
Damian has his own hang ups, of course, and he was a lovable grump.
There was some action, which I thought was fun and well-executed.
Again, I love the secondary characters and the world that April Asher has created. This is a really fun series and Not Your Exes Hexes was a great addition.

Not Your Ex's Hexes is a grumpy and sunshine lovers rom-com story. It features a grumpy half-demon and a curvy sunshine witch. They both have sworn off love due to their past relationships going wrong. As they are forced to work with each other, they get to know each other and their undeniable chemistry becomes harder to deny. They soon agree to be friends with benefits and nothing more. The reason I did not give it 5 stars was that although I enjoyed it, at times it felt like it was dragging and the banter seemed forced, there were moments where I would put it down and wasn't in a rush to continue reading it.

Thanks to Netgalley and St. Martin’s Griffin for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This series just keeps getting better!
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.

Rose Maxwell has stepped down from being the next Prima of the Supernatural Council and is left searching for her 'purpose' in life. Damian Adams is a broody retired half-demon bounty hunter who has become a veterinarian of a rescue shelter in need of cash influx and support. A hilarious mishap and misunderstanding lands Rose having to volunteer her time at the rescue shelter and sparks begin to fly!

Takeaways: April Asher is the queen of witty banter, and down right hilarious comebacks and one-liners from her female main characters. Her writing is fresh and FUN and I am now fully invested in each of the triad sisters' lives (Vivian Maxwell from Book 1 (Not the Witch You Wed), and *fingers crossed* for Olive Maxwell's story in Book 3?) She is also the queen of contemporary steamy encounters. Damian was one hot, selfless, swoon-worthy lover. Seriously. You can now call me a demon-lover. Lastly, Asher's storylines are exciting and quickly develop into page-turners you can not put down. I really love the way her leading ladies are self-sufficient badass witches who do not need to be saved or rescued by their partners, have unique and different personalities, but remained bonded to their sisters, families, and friends. I want to move to New Your City and be their friends!

Some minor spoilers await if you haven't read the first novel in this series !!

I am really loving April Asher's Supernatural Single's series so far, and was so excited to be approved for this arc. In the first book "Not the Witch You Wed", Rose seemed like such a serious character, who cared so much for her family. In "Not Your Ex's Hexes", we got to see a little more of her personality, which is hecka stubborn, but also soft and squishy.

In this novel Rose is lost, as she is no longer the Prima Apparent, she doesn't know what to do with her life. She trained so hard for as long as she could remember, and now feels as if she no longer has a purpose. Throughout the novel, she tried many different things, but I feel she came to realize that what she does isn't who she is. Rose herself defines that by her actions, and the people she surrounds herself with.

Damian. This guy I tell ya.. talk about stubborn! lol But I feel he was a shining character in this novel, and we got to know him a little better than we did Rose. We got to see tidbits of his past, that helped the reader to understand why he was the way he was. It showed how he had grown from a little hellion hunter, to the grumpy outside, but soft centered man he is at present. The fact that he cared about animals more than people was a definite vibe, and one that I wholeheartedly feel to my core. I absolutely adored that he was a vet, and ran a sanctuary for animals! I would have liked to have learned more about Miguel, and how those two came to be the family that they were.

The chemistry between Rose and Damian was palpable and well written. The angst between them was great, and made me root for them even more. The hex part, and how it was 'resolved' didn't make a lot of sense to me. Maybe it just wasn't explained in a way I could compute,. but I feel like it was a little too easy? That could just be me.

Damian's brother played a significant role in this book, him being the demon rep for the council. In the beginning, I wasn't sure if he was going to be a character I liked or hated, but it became pretty obvious that he wasn't as evil, at least anymore, as one would have thought initially. I would have liked to have learned more about him, so I could better understand his redemption arc, and really get behind it. I would love to have understood more why he changed, and if it was genuine or not. It did feel genuine, especially how he showed he cared about Rose. My favourite line in the whole book came from Julian, while he was 'bantering' with Rose.: "Bastard has more charisma than Charisma Carpenter" <3 all the Buffy references. At times, I felt the banter was a little forced, or trying to hard, but then we would get gems like this one! loved it !

There are moments in here where we see the set up for the 3rd installment with Bax and Olive, and I cannot wait for that one to come out! I feel like Olive speaks to me as a character, as she a booknerd too, and I always have a soft spot for a main character who, when she moves, has 12 boxes filled with books!!

Also I was today years old when I realized that their names match the colour their magic is LOL!

I recommend picking up this series, it has a supernatural element, spicy love interests, and lots of laughs :)

This book surprised me in the best way! I was looking for a fun spooky read and had never heard of this author. It was so cute and fun! The setting of the town was so perfect and the witty banter of this romance was on point! Will definitely check out more of this author!!
