First of all perfect read for October. But if you are like me fall works too 😅.
Premises, we have a witch that doesn’t believe she is a witch and we have a male witch (in this book they are called witches too ) that is supposed to not let our unbeliever witch break a hex.
What can go wrong. Let’s just said everything. This was funny and incredibly cute for me. I like the power dynamic and I really like the side characters too. The book feels like and perfect for a cute read. Definitely worth a read if you are looking for a easy witchy rom com

This is a sweet read that is perfect for when the mood strikes for a fall comfort book! For a book about a witch discovering her magic, I wish she got to explore the magic in a more meaningful way. For me, there was an issue in pacing, but nothing that ruined my enjoyment of the book as a whole.

There is nothing really new or unique in this novel, but sometimes you need something reliable.

The narrators did a good job with the material, although the Texas accent didn’t always feel consistent.

Will I read this again? No. Would I recommend this to someone looking for a cozy fall story with witchy feels? Absolutely.

Thank you to Hachette Audio and NetGalley for an ARC of the audiobook in exchange for an honest review!

I absolutely loved this book! From the beginning it was so cute and funny! I could not put it down. I can’t wait to read more, I really hope we get a series ❤️❤️😭 I already miss these characters.

Thank you so much NetGalley , and Carly Bloom for the opportunity to read an ARC of her upcoming book . In exchange for my honest review .

Hot Hex Boyfriend is a very cute, cozy witchy romance. Delia is supposedly a “blue witch” but she has no powers. She doesn’t believe that witches exist despite her family saying that they are in fact witches. Max moves in next door to deal with his late uncle’s house and business, but he knows witches are real as he is one. A hex breaker/creator to be exact. He is supposed to keep the hex on Delia’s family line intact, but he can’t help but fall in love with her. This book gave me everything I wanted in a cozy PNR. The romance was cute. The characters and the plot were well thought out. The narrators were okay. They didn’t add to the story, but they didn’t hurt the story either. I would recommend this book for the fall season!

Thank you to Netgalley for an ALC. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

It is the season for spooky romcoms. Hot Hex Boyfriend was my latest listen. I liked it immensely. Pick this one up on publication day.

Thank you to Carly Bloom, Hachette Audio, and NetGalley for allowing me to listen to a free eaudio ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I tried twice to get into this book, and it's not happening. Both times I made it to 25%---the scene with the funeral food nonsense---and I can't take it anymore.

There's no plot! The uncle dude died and Max has come to settle his affairs, and that's it. Otherwise it's just characters dinking around doing nothing important, like eating funeral food and chitchatting about being Southern. There's no tension, no stakes, except Max has to keep his true purpose secret. I believe the plot of the book was supposed to be about Delia accidentally breaking the hex on her family and giving them all powers, but there's no sign of that happening. No inciting incident, which should have happened by now. This book is wasting my time, so I'm done. The characters had potential, I didn't dislike any of them, but again, they're just wandering around accomplishing nothing plot-wise, which doesn't endear.

Zion Jang was fine as the narrator of Max's POV, but I did not care for Laura Knight Keating's narration of Delia's POV. She didn't sound natural; she sounded more like she was in public speaking class and being graded on how clearly she enunciated and how well she projected her voice---she was so much louder than Jang. Switching between the two was almost jarring. Keating sounds more suited to reading instruction manuals aloud or narrating how-to videos, or something like that.

It was like an adult Sabrina the teenage witch but without magic because her entire family was hexed. I enjoyed reading, there was romance, humor and lots of magical moments. Audiobook production was excellent, narrators were engaging and entertaining.
