Summary
Welcome to Spooky Season！！ The follow-up to Erin Sterling’s New York Times bestselling hit The Ex Hex features fan favorite Gwyn and the spine-tinglingly handsome Wells Penhallow as they battle a new band of witches and their own magical chemistry。
Gwyn Jones is perfectly happy with her life in Graves Glen。 She， her mom， and her cousin have formed a new and powerful coven; she’s running a successful witchcraft shop， Something Wicked; and she’s started mentoring some of the younger witches in town。 As Halloween approaches， there’s only one problem—Llewellyn “Wells” Penhallow。
Wells has come to Graves Glen to re-establish his family’s connection to the town they founded as well as to make a new life for himself after years of being the dutiful son in Wales。 When he opens up a shop of his own， Penhallow’s， just across the street from Something Wicked， he quickly learns he’s gotten more than he bargained for in going up against Gwyn。
When their professional competition leads to a very personal—and very hot—kiss， both Wells and Gwyn are determined to stay away from each other， convinced the kiss was just a magical fluke。 But when a mysterious new coven of witches come to town and Gwyn’s powers begin fading， she and Wells must work together to figure out just what these new witches want and how to restore Gwyn’s magic before it’s too late。

An amazing enemies to lovers rom-com！ Gwyn and Wells had great banter and chemistry with just the right amount of spice。 I loved everything about their relationship， especially how it all got started。 Sterling managed to make this book better than the Ex-Hex， which I didn’t think was possible。 I definitely hope that there are more books set in this world！Thank you Netgalley and Avon and Harper Voyager for the ARC！

The chemistry between Gwen and Wells is one of my favorite I’ve read in a long time！ Then you add in Halloween-witchy vibes and this book was truly a delight to read。 Every page keeps you wanting to read more。 I loved that this book was about Vivi’s spunky cousin Gwen。 After reading the first book I wanted to know more about her and was excited to see her perspective in this book。 It was also nice to see more of Rhy’s brothers， especially Wells。 This book is perfect romance for Summer-ween！

I find that I often give four stars to romance books I love because they're not as deep and life changing as my other five-star reads， but in terms of romance novels this is perfect， so it's getting five。 The Kiss Curse follows characters from the Ex Hex， Gwyn （Viv's cousin） and Wells （Rhys' brother）。 It has the same fun halloween vibe as the Ex Hex and honestly follows a very similar formula as Vivi's and Rhys' love story。 It addresses Gwyn's bisexuality， and has a diverse cast of characters （r I find that I often give four stars to romance books I love because they're not as deep and life changing as my other five-star reads， but in terms of romance novels this is perfect， so it's getting five。 The Kiss Curse follows characters from the Ex Hex， Gwyn （Viv's cousin） and Wells （Rhys' brother）。 It has the same fun halloween vibe as the Ex Hex and honestly follows a very similar formula as Vivi's and Rhys' love story。 It addresses Gwyn's bisexuality， and has a diverse cast of characters （relative to the genre at least）。 As a lesbian do I wish Gwyn had ended up with a woman？ A little bit。 Will I get over it？ Yep！This series is so cozy， it offers the same comfort as curling up on the couch every year to watch Halloweentown。 You're dropped into a familiar place and story， then given a beautiful and believable romance。 The dialogue is snappy and funny， and had me laughing out loud。 "。。。and Gwyn had no doubt that whoever he was， his ancestors had absolutely once stared down the business end of a guillotine。 You didn't get cheekbones like that without oppressing some peasants。" I MEAN。。LMAO。One of the best things about it， and one of the things that most often turns me off of romance， is that the sex scenes， while quite spicy by my standards， AREN'T CRINGEY！！！ THANK YOU！！！ Anyways， I don't know if there's another book planned in this universe that I love so much， but I hope there is。 It's impossible not to fall in love with Sterling's side characters （like the baby witches）。 If there is another， you'll see me here again。 Thanks so much to Avon Books and NetGalley for the digital ARC！ 。。。more

It's probably not a 5-star book， but I loved the great， snarky banter; the fun characters， especially the baby witches and the werewolf brother （please tell me there will be a book about him）; and the charming， quirky little town and college。 I am one of those annoying people who often loves every book they read and has to let it sink in a bit before I can give a clear-headed review， but where is the fun of that？I received an advance reader copy through Edelweiss。 The Kiss Curse will be released It's probably not a 5-star book， but I loved the great， snarky banter; the fun characters， especially the baby witches and the werewolf brother （please tell me there will be a book about him）; and the charming， quirky little town and college。 I am one of those annoying people who often loves every book they read and has to let it sink in a bit before I can give a clear-headed review， but where is the fun of that？I received an advance reader copy through Edelweiss。 The Kiss Curse will be released on September 20， 2022。 。。。more

This was such a cute romance to get me in the mood for Halloween。 I love that there were major themes outside of the love story， and that characters from the last book make an appearance。 Overall， I loved the romance tropes in this novel， including my favorite- enemies to lovers。 And， I love the banter that the characters have。 It was super cute and I could not even put this book down！

Cute sequel。 Loved Gwen and Wells and how they got together - a little enemies to lovers trope。 Wished there had been more of Elaine and Vivi， but loved the intro to the “baby witches” on a more in depth level。 Hope Bowden gets a book of his own next！

Last year around Halloween I was in a Witchy Romace kick so I read The Ex Hex and fell in love with it。 It had everything I wanted: It was sweet， steamy， hilarious and of course， magical。 I also loved Gwyn， and I became pretty excited to read this one when I found out it was about her and let me tell you， it did not dissappoint。I loved this book very very much。 Gwyn was as funny as ever and I really enjoyed Wells character and his grumpiness。 I laughed out loud multiple times。I liked that the co Last year around Halloween I was in a Witchy Romace kick so I read The Ex Hex and fell in love with it。 It had everything I wanted: It was sweet， steamy， hilarious and of course， magical。 I also loved Gwyn， and I became pretty excited to read this one when I found out it was about her and let me tell you， it did not dissappoint。I loved this book very very much。 Gwyn was as funny as ever and I really enjoyed Wells character and his grumpiness。 I laughed out loud multiple times。I liked that the conflict didn't fall solely on the relationship as it often is in other romances and not one of my favorite things （i'm not a fan of miscommunication for the sake of a conflict）。Sir Purrcival and the Baby Witches were also both really cute and hilarious。All in all， i'm a fan and i'm hoping this is not the last we will see of Graves Glen。 。。。more

Told in third person dual point of view from protagonists Wells and Gwyn， I enjoyed revisiting the secret magical town of Graves Glen。 I actually liked this much more than The Ex Hex。 Gwyn is so personable and her antagonism for Wells wasn’t over the top for me。 I love a good “hate” competition and this one was more good-hearted than vengeful。 I found Wells interesting as he tried to find his place in life out from under his father’s watchful eye。 The baby witches were fun and adventurous。 I tho Told in third person dual point of view from protagonists Wells and Gwyn， I enjoyed revisiting the secret magical town of Graves Glen。 I actually liked this much more than The Ex Hex。 Gwyn is so personable and her antagonism for Wells wasn’t over the top for me。 I love a good “hate” competition and this one was more good-hearted than vengeful。 I found Wells interesting as he tried to find his place in life out from under his father’s watchful eye。 The baby witches were fun and adventurous。 I thought Bowen， another Penhallow brother and mountain hermit was hilarious and I hope he’s going to get a book next。 The story was enjoyable and even held a few surprises for me although I did guess what was going on with Gwyn’s magic a little early on。 Looking forward to the next in this series。 Thank you to Netgalley and Avon Books for the free copy provided for an honest review。 。。。more

Someone please make Erin’s books into movies like yesterday！ I’m such a sucker for enemies to lovers and this one fits the bill with the added bonus of basically being set in my dream home of a little witchy town。 The chemistry of the two mc’s is pure serotonin and had me laughing the whole time。 I’m in love and ready to do a re-read already！

The first three quarters didn't have a ton of plot， mostly just focusing on the two leads relationship and chemistry， but I don't see that as a bad thing。 Gwyn and Wells are both lovably flawed and it was a pleasure to watch them butt heads and fall in love。 Overall this book was cute， steamy， a little cheesy， and just a really enjoyable read set in a little witchy magical town。 The first three quarters didn't have a ton of plot， mostly just focusing on the two leads relationship and chemistry， but I don't see that as a bad thing。 Gwyn and Wells are both lovably flawed and it was a pleasure to watch them butt heads and fall in love。 Overall this book was cute， steamy， a little cheesy， and just a really enjoyable read set in a little witchy magical town。 。。。more
