Waiting On Wednesday ... The Ex Hex

Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Jill at Breaking The Spine that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

This week's pick is The Ex Hex by Erin Sterling

Here is the Goodreads synopsis

New York Times bestselling author Rachel Hawkins, writing as Erin Sterling, casts a spell with a spine-tingling romance full of wishes, witches, and hexes gone wrong.

Nine years ago, Vivienne Jones nursed her broken heart like any young witch would: vodka, weepy music, bubble baths…and a curse on the horrible boyfriend. Sure, Vivi knows she shouldn’t use her magic this way, but with only an “orchard hayride” scented candle on hand, she isn’t worried it will cause him anything more than a bad hair day or two.

That is until Rhys Penhallow, descendent of the town’s ancestors, breaker of hearts, and annoyingly just as gorgeous as he always was, returns to Graves Glen, Georgia. What should be a quick trip to recharge the town’s ley lines and make an appearance at the annual fall festival turns disastrously wrong. With one calamity after another striking Rhys, Vivi realizes her silly little Ex Hex may not have been so harmless after all.

Suddenly, Graves Glen is under attack from murderous wind-up toys, a pissed off ghost, and a talking cat with some interesting things to say. Vivi and Rhys have to ignore their off the charts chemistry to work together to save the town and find a way to break the break-up curse before it’s too late.

This releases in early Oct which makes it a perfect read for the spooky season. Based on the synopsis it seems to mix witches and romance which happen to both be favourites of mine.

I love that Vivienne has to work with her ex to unbreak a curse she put on him. It's going to be a fun one to read and I think a perfect pairing with Practical Magic as there are definitely similar vibes.

Join me with your pumpkin spice latte, and fall scented candles while enjoying this one under a cozy blanket when the Halloween season arrives.

Expected release date - October 5, 2021
