About this audiobook
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.
And as a special treat to listeners, be sure to download the custom cross stitch pattern of the Jones’ family motto, “Never Mix Vodka & Witchcraft,” so you can craft while you listen!

 Enjoyable, cute, witchy romcom companion novel. Although i preferred the Ex Hex
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Sep 9, 2023 Thank you Netgalley for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for an honest review.
 I was so stoked to be given the opportunity to read thisbone. I loved The Ex Hex and I loved Gwyn's story.
 This sequel still gave me all the small town, fall vibes and I loved the introduction of the Baby Witches.
 Wells was grumpy, but a cinnamon roll. Gwyn was witty, smart, and funny. This one was a bit slow in the build up of the plot and the "curse" was really obvious. The spice was not where I like it, but some is better than none I suppose! Overall, this was a quick read and listen, I went back and forth between audio and ebook. It had cute moments, the Morgan plots was unnecessary, and I really, really, really want a Bowen book!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Sep 9, 2023 Loved the story line. Light, cute, lovey dovey, witchy read. Lots of swearing and sexy time.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Sep 9, 2023 3.75 stars
 This was flirty, magical, witchy and oh so much fun! The only thing that would have made it better was if it was sapphic( I genuinely thought it would be after meeting Gwyn in book 1). However, Wells delivered so I'm not too salty about it.3 people found this helpful
