NOT YOUR EX’S HEXES is the second book in April Asher’s Supernatural Singles series. Although this is the second book in this series, I think NOT YOUR EX’S HEXES works as a standalone novel. Even though the events in the previous book are referenced, and those events form the life-altering circumstances Rose Maxwell finds herself in, April Asher does a great job of giving readers all the need-to-know info. The author also establishes who the main characters are at their souls. Rose comes from a magically powerful and influential supernatural family. She was always trained to take over the uber-important role of Prima on the Supernatural Council. Some wild stuff happened, and she ditched her loser ex and stepped down in her position. For me, this was a classic story of self-discovery with a love story thrown in.
I like Rose. Her life totally upended, but rather than be left feeling bitter, she wanders along trying to find her niche. She explores new things and takes a chance on meeting new people. The only thing she’s semi-sure about, is that she doesn’t want to be tied down to one person at this point in her life. She’s cautious but optimistic at the same time. This book starts with Rose’s steamy encounter with veterinarian and half-demon, Damian Adams. Things start off as a hot and heavy one-night stand, until they’re forced to work together in close quarters. When Rose first meets Damian, he seems like the super sexy bad boy. When they initially start working together, there is more of a grumpy/sunshine dynamic. I find it amusing how amused Damian’s friends and co-workers are amused by his reaction to Rose. She captivates him and baffles him at the same time. Over the course of the book, Damian’s baggage is slowly revealed to readers. Although he alternately tries to push Rose away “for her own good” and gives in to his desire, I didn’t find that push-and-pull annoying as a reader like I normally might.
NOT YOUR EX’S HEXES takes the main characters on an unexpectedly sexy supernatural journey to self-discovery as they find love along the way. April Asher’s main and supporting characters are diverse, complex, and you’re never sure what they’ll do next. I look forward to reading the next installment in April Asher’s “Supernatural Singles” series.
In April Asher’s next Supernatural Singles novel, Not Your Ex's Hexes, a one-night-stand between a willful witch and a broody half-demon conjures an adventure that wouldn’t be complete without several magical mishaps.For her entire life, Rose Maxwell trained to become the next Prima on the Supernatural Council. Now that she’s stepped down, it’s time for this witch to focus on herself. And not think about her impulsive one-night stand with Damian Adams, a half-Demon Veterinarian who she can’t get out of her head. Neither of them is looking for a relationship. But when Rose is sentenced to community service at Damian’s animal sanctuary it becomes impossible for them to ignore their sparking attraction. A friends-with-benefits, no feelings, no strings arrangement works perfectly for them both.After a sequence of dead-end jobs, it’s not until Rose tangos with two snarly demons that she thinks she’s finally found her path. However, this puts Damian back on the periphery of a world he thought he left behind. He doesn’t approve of Rose becoming a Hunter, but if there's one thing he's learned about the stubborn witch, it was telling her not to do something was one sure-fire way to make sure she did.Working—and sleeping—together awakens feelings Damian never knew he had...and shouldn't have. Because thanks to his ex's hex, if he falls in love, he'll not only lose his heart—but his humanity.
