It's been more than a week since my last post (mom life, am I right?). So it's high time I caved and gave up the ghost. Or maybe I should say sorceress. Because I just read Erin Sterling's The Kiss Curse.
In this sequel to The Ex Hex, we return to Graves Glen, Georgia, to shadow, not Viv, but her equally charmed and charming cousin Gwyn. With a personality as fiery as her pink-streaked hair, Gwyn runs a Halloween-themed shop called Something Wicked -- and Graves Glen -- with a cauldron of confidence. But when her college crush, fellow witch Wells Penhallow, moves back to town, her brew is set askew. The imperious Wells opens a competing shop, stoking Gwyn's (already considerable) ire. So when the two share a kiss so killer it must be cursed, all hellfire breaks loose. Yet the spellbinding snog is small pumpkins compared to the discovery that someone has stolen Gwyn's powers. With Vivi away on her honeymoon, Gwyn has no choice but to join forces with Wells. So they work to find out who has it out for Gwyn, all while trying not to bewitch each other.
I loved getting lost in this fey fairy tale. Light but slightly edgy (it is about the occult), The Kiss Curse is full of Halloween fun, conjuring up both tricks and treats.

Oh, it does sound like a fab Halloween read! Your review made me smile. It's great to see your clever fun in this one! I hope your autumn has been golden! Warm. Windy. And grass fires here. Let's hope we get some rain soon. We did have a freeze so the basil got harvested. & I am beginning to think the raccoons mate in fall too. Such strange noises they can make in the middle of the night in our back yard, or maybe just gangs at war. Thanks for your comments! They are like little presents. I'm grateful you have the time to read them. Yes, I am trying to move in new characters and make stories for those that are waiting..especially, to have babies like Vanna and Remi! & of course, to bring back troublemakers who didn't know they were that sort....with breakups and makeups. Thanks so much. Wishing you a wonderful Halloween season. 🍂🍁🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃
What a fun read - perfect for the spooky season!! I remember your review of The Ex Hex last year, and this sounds like a great sequel! The mix of tricks, treats, and edge sounds like a great way to get in the Halloween mood! 🍫🌙💜
