Hex and the City was a fun witchy adventure! It’s a romance for sure, but I also had so much fun learning about all the chaos that Poppy has follow her around London. The ways magic showed up in this book were so original and it was super enjoyable to be getting the perspective of Alex, a mortal who was brought along on the adventure.

The connection between Alex and Poppy is super sweet and though it all happens quickly over the course of a week if still sweeps you up and makes you believe their feelings for each other.

The only thing I struggled with this book was it was told from the third person but swings back and forth from Poppy’s and Alex’s perspectives intermittently. It took a little bit of getting used to at first but once I did I really enjoyed the writing!

I will definitely be going and reading Hex Appeal the other book!

Thanks to Netgalley, Harper Collins UK, and the author Kate Johnson for providing me the e-ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review.

I loved the ghost mummies, time travel, witches and I loved the romance. Our main character was relatable and sweet and I loved this story. This surprised me by how unique it was, considering witchy romcoms seem to be getting more popular.

Poppy is a witch whose only talent seems to be making a mess. She accidentally sells a cursed pendant to Alex, otherwise known as the Axl Storm. Axl is a famously beautiful illusionist. During his opening night performance, for what we would call a magic show a la Houdini, Axl’s assistant was wearing the pendant. And that is when disaster begins to strike …

This book has it all: witches, ghost mummies, time travel, and more. However, the romance felt a little forced to me. Some of the fights I saw coming a mile away. The ending was a bit predictable but good nonetheless. I’m sure some people will be surprised.

If you are looking for a witchy romance that is lighthearted and fun, go for it. I’d give this 3.5 stars rounding up to 4 stars.

Hex and the City is a hilarious, magical romance. I fell in the love with the characters and the story immediately and laughed out loud in many places. Kate Johnson is a very talented writer and I can’t wait to read more of her work.
