Magic is on the fritz again in this follow up to The Ex Hex. Gwyn continues to run her witchy-themed shop, Something Wicked, while also adopting some Baby Witches in need of magical guidance. To further complicate things, her brother-in-law has opened a shop across the street from hers, further proving that Sir Purrcival's nickname of "Dickbag" is correct. But when a (maybe) love spell goes awry, will Gwyn and Dickbag Wells see sparks? Or will their maybe-love fade as Gwyn's own powers also begin to fade away? Full of chills and thrills, this sequel is perfect for spooky season and those who love a good enemies-to-lovers romance. Recommended By Lauren M, Powells.com
Synopses & Reviews
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.
