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.
Spotlight“Autumn in a book. Sterling writes with such charm that you'll want to move to Graves Glen and cast your own hex.”
Some Spells Are Harder to Break Than Others
Erin Sterling writes paranormal romance with a wink and a warmth that is completely irresistible — a hex cast in heartbreak, a first love who wanders back into town, and a witch who really should know better. The magic here is delightful, but honestly the real spell is the slow unraveling of two people who never quite got over each other. Pure, effervescent fun.
