Thank you to Del Ray for an ARC of this book.
Oh this was really, really cute. Total no-real-stakes contemporary witchy romance. There's a bit of insta-love, but with the way this one is written I was 100% okay with it. I absolutely adored Dina as a main character – she was sweet, and wanted the best for her friends all while completely second-guessing herself. Scott, the love interest, felt a bit bland. We didn't know too much about him, but it was fine. He's fine.
This book is not profound, people, it's just FUN.
Oh and the steamy bits? Very, very well written. Extra steamy, extra interesting. Totally worth it.
Dina's parents, especially her mom, are delightful. I loved whenever they were on page. I would have loved magic being included even more than it already is, but I love fantasy elements in just about anything. The author doesn't go real into detail about how the magic works in this universe, but again...this book is just a fun little romp. We're not building out a great magic system or anything. And we don't need to! The romance is cute enough on its own.
Basically, if you're looking for a good spooky-season witchy romance with almost zero-stakes...pick up Best Hex Ever. You'll love it.
