Not Your Ex's Hexes

This is the 2nd book in the Supernatural Singles series by April Asher. I haven't read the 1st book, Not the Witch You Wed, but it can definitely be read as a stand-alone. There is a lot of mention of the main characters from the 1st one so I'll definitely be checking out that one soon.
It's absolutely insane how spicy this read was and, more importantly, it was female-focused spice. There was also a lot of romance, action, and fantasy involved in the story as well. This is a perfect blend for romcom and fantasy readers. There's also a little dictionary in the back for readers newer to the genre.
The plot is centered around witch Rose and half-demon Damian who become engaged in a friends with benefits arrangement. Now reading that you may think to expect that spice but I'm telling you it surpasses your expectations. It's really enjoyable to see their relationship form and meet their friends and family along the way. I also loved reading about the animals they worked with and their storylines were so cute. This is a very character heavy book and they was such a likable ensemble that it was such a joy reading their stories. There was also a lot of comedy, hence the romcom genre, and there were many moments I audibly laughed. I NEED to read a book about Olive finding love now.
Some of the supernatural dialogue was cringey at first but it didn't take long to get used to. The characters' lovability made up for any qualms I had. The ending was also a little rushed but I feel like that's a typical complaint for any romance book.
I definitely recommend this one, especially for romcom lovers looking to read something slightly different within the genre. There's also representation with the leading lady, Rose, who is plus-sized and tall, which is definitely nice to see in romance.

Thanks to NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for sending me an arc in exchange for a review.
