This was such a good Halloween (and fall in general) book! The author built the perfect fall vibes in The Ex Hex's setting. There were witches, magic, fall treats and festivals, and a healthy mix of spicy and adorable romance.

Amazing book, one that I could not stop reading! Don't get me wrong, it is heartbreaking and quite often tough to read, but don't let that deter you! I had read mixed reviews, but I felt the characters were interesting. The shooter was viewed in a co...
