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.

It was cute, and the characters were ok but I wasn't feeling the romance.
I enjoyed The Ex Hex much more, and it influenced my expectations when I started this one. It just wasn't as good for me.
Maybe, more of a case of “It's not the book, it's me.”, so take this rating with a grain of salt.
This was like a 4.5- but I love everything about it. I could not stop laughing every time Gwyn called him ‘esquire'.
An excellent book to read at Halloween time, I think I liked it better than the Ex Hex. The setting and the characters are great. It feels like one of those comfortable young adult books you love reading growing up, with the sassy witches and the witchy shop...until you get to the “adult” parts. It's not that they were badly done, they're just not my thing, and felt incongruous with the feel of the rest of the book. I would love to lend this book to my mother...but there's no way I'm lending this book to my mother.
