Purchase options and add-ons

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.

Editorial Reviews

Review

“A spooky romantic comedy treat that had me sighing at one page, laughing out loud at the next. The Ex Hex is the perfect book for fall.” — New York Times bestselling author Tessa Bailey

“Sterling casts a spell on her readers with this romantic comedy. … As humorous and fantasy filled as the novel is, it also encourages readers to ponder the idea that the world is a very small place. Sterling puts a wonderful spin on two people who once had each other’s backs to two people who need each other to save a city from destruction. A cute and laughable holiday read to get you through the harsh winter weather.” — USA Today on The Ex Hex

“Filled with delightful witchiness and humor, this playful romantic comedy from Sterling explores second chances and self-discovery. … Comedic chaos rules the day, with plenty of laughs overlaying just a touch of introspection as the exes realize how much they still mean to each other. The result is a fluffy Halloween treat.” — Publishers Weekly on The Ex Hex

“Sterling's novel is ultimately crisp and sweet, like biting into the perfect caramel apple, and makes for an equally delicious autumn treat that will sweep readers up into a world of whimsical magic. A wickedly funny rom-com about the power of second chances, family, and love.” — Kirkus Reviews on The Ex Hex

“Cozy and cute and Halloween appropriate, and Rhys is extremely attractive. The Ex Hex was, in short, a blast.” — Jezebel

A bit damaged
Brought this book to add to a Halloween basket I was making and unfortunately the book came a bit damaged. The book has a slight rip on the top and you can see along all the edges and left side the wear & tear. Not sure if book was like this when shipped or if it had gotten damaged while in transit. Again not a huge damage but still disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars A perfectly spooky read!

Perfect to kick off the start of spooky season reads, The Kiss Curse was funny and sexy with a sprinkle of danger and a lot of magic. Gwyn and Wells are full of fire, both literal and in terms of chemistry. Even though they hate each other at first, they soon find that there's a fine line between hate and love, and my goodness, was it fun to see. A romance at its heart, but with the dangers of magic and sinister plotting, secrets, and hidden family motives, this book was wonderfully done!

The book was a slow start. I was bored the first 18 chapters. I had a feeling it would pick up and eventually it did. I love Gwyn’s character so much. She was super relatable and funny. I love the dynamic between her and Vivi. Overall I think the book is cute and a nice palette cleanser and was nice around Halloween. I would recommend it.

I love this little series she created, and I definitely think the second book is better than the first, which I don’t feel like happens a lot for me. If you are looking for a short romance, witchy book, you’ll love it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Loved this book!
Reviewed in the United States on November 2, 2022

I am absolutely NOT normally a paranormal romance reader. I only read contemporary romances and I'm such a square that I can barely tolerate stories that revilive around a ridiculous inheritance stipulation.

But damned if I didn't end up loving THE KISS CURSE!

I loved the enemies-to-lovers hate banter.
I loved the fiesty, quirky, badass heroine, Gwyn.
I loved the slightly stuffy, uptight, Wells.
I loved the story and the magic and the epically hot steamy scenes.
I loved the super sweet HEA.

Even if paranormal isn't your usual read, you should give THE KISS CURSE a read! Maybe it will convert you too. Now, lemme finish up this book review so I can go back and read the first book in this series! Am I....am I into witchy romances now? *cue: identity crisis*

𝗥𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗡𝗚: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
𝗦𝗧𝗘𝗔𝗠 𝗟𝗘𝗩𝗘𝗟: Rated R / 1-4 descriptive sex scenes, may have harsh language.
𝗧𝗥𝗜𝗚𝗚𝗘𝗥𝗦: past death of parent
𝗙𝗘𝗘𝗟𝗦: 2/5 - A bit of drama, but still a pretty light read.

This is the second in The Graves Glen Series. I enjoyed this as I did the first book The Ex Hex. It’s supposed to be family witch rivals but there is attraction between two Jones witches and Penhallow witches. It’s a fun read. Find out the trouble they get into.

Gwynnevere Jones ist nicht begeistert, als Llewellyn Penhallow sich entschließt, nach Graves Glen zu ziehen, doch sie ist wirklich sauer, als er dann auch noch einen Laden für Hexenartikel gegenüber ihres eigenen Zauberereiladens eröffnet!
Doch je häufiger die beiden aneinanderraten, umso heftiger sprühen die Funken zwischen ihnen und schon bald müssen sie zusammenarbeiten, denn es sind neue Hexen in der Stadt, die nichts Gutes im Sinn haben.

"The Kiss Curse" von Erin Sterling ist der zweite Band der The Ex Hex Trilogie, der aus den personalen Erzählperspektiven von Gwynnevere Jones und Llewellyn Penhallow erzählt wird.

Ich habe mich sehr auf Gwyns Geschichte gefreut, denn Vivis Cousine mochte ich schon im ersten Band richtig gerne! Sie ist selbstbewusst, abenteuerlich und war immer für Vivi da, wenn Vivi sie gebraucht hat! In diesem Band wird sie zur Mentorin von drei jungen Hexen, um ihr Wissen weiterzugeben, was ich auch sehr mochte, da die Baby Witches einfach niedlich waren, ebenso Sir Purrcival, Gwyns sprechender Kater!
Wells ist der älteste Bruder von Rhys, Vivis Ehemann, der sich dazu entschließt, sein tristes Leben in Wales hinter sich zu lassen und in Graves Glen von vorne anzufangen. Wells drückt sich zum Teil sehr gewählt aus und ist genauso ein Sturkopf wie Gwyn, was ihren anfänglichen Konkurrenzkampf sehr unterhaltsam gemacht hat!

Die Geschichte spielt im Oktober und in Graves Glen steht nicht nur Halloween vor der Tür, sondern auch das Graves Glen Gathering, das früher einmal der Gründertag war. Ich mochte die Atmosphäre wieder richtig gerne, denn ich habe mich sehr wohlgefühlt, obwohl es auch ein wenig schaurig wurde, was perfekt zur Jahreszeit gepasst hat!

Zu Beginn können sich Gwyn und Wells nicht ausstehen, denn Gwyn ist absolut nicht begeistert, dass er seinen Laden Penhallow's Magical Goods direkt gegenüber des Something Wicked eröffnet hat und somit direkte Konkurrenz ist. Aber sie fühlen sich auch unbestreitbar zueinander hingezogen und besonders Gwyn ist überrascht, dass Wells doch ganz anders ist, als sie gedacht hat!
Ich mochte die Liebesgeschichte richtig gerne, denn es war sehr unterhaltsam zu sehen, wie die beiden der Anziehungskraft erst versuchen zu widerstehen, bevor sie sich darauf einlassen und herausfinden, dass sie doch sehr gut miteinander harmonieren!

Von der Geschichte hatte ich mir lange etwas mehr Spannung erhofft, allerdings muss ich auch sagen, dass mich das Ende sehr überraschen konnte, da es hier zwei Wendungen gab, die ich definitiv nicht vorhergesehen habe und die dann dafür gesorgt haben, dass mir die Geschichte doch richtig gut gefallen hat! Sie ließ sich auf jeden Fall sehr gut lesen, war unterhaltsam und auch der Humor hat mir sehr gefallen! Perfekt für zwischendurch!

Fazit:
"The Kiss Curse" von Erin Sterling ist ein toller zweiter Band der The Ex Hex Trilogie!
Das Buch hat eine tolle Wohlfühlatmosphäre, auch wenn es mal schaurig wurde und die Liebesgeschichte von Gwyn und Wells war sehr unterhaltsam! Ich hätte mir insgesamt mehr Spannung gewünscht, aber auch so ließ die Geschichte sich richtig gut lesen und das Ende konnte mich positiv überraschen! Hier gab es zwei Wendungen, mit denen ich niemals gerechnet hätte und so bin ich auch mit dem Ausgang der Geschichte sehr zufrieden! Ich vergebe vier Kleeblätter!

I enjoyed this just as much as the first book - if not more! The romance was lovely and had such immaculate vibes. Perfect halloween themed treat! If you enjoyed the first book you will most definitely enjoy this one. My only issue is that it came to an end, would have happily basked in the book for much longer.
