Is The Ex Hex Worth Reading?
Ada’s Score
Erin Sterling's bewitching debut romance follows Vivi Jones, a Southern witch who cast a hex on her first love after he left for college — and now he's back in Graves Glen as her college's new head of a Scottish studies programme. Equal parts romantic comedy and cosy paranormal fantasy, the novel fizzes with autumn atmosphere, dry wit, and a slow-burn rekindled love that earns every swoony moment. Sterling (a pseudonym for Rachel Hawkins) perfectly calibrates the tension between magical chaos and emotional vulnerability. It is a love letter to small-town Halloween magic and the terrifying power of second chances.
“Autumn in a book. Sterling writes with such charm that you'll want to move to Graves Glen and cast your own hex.”
