Match BookThe Ex Hex
Erin Sterling
2021 · 308 pages · Romance
How it reads
The Ex Hex is romance (paranormal romance, specifically), and its dominant mood is romantic. The relationship is the engine of the story. The pace is moderate — neither a page-turner nor a slow burn — so it holds up whether you read it in long sittings or short ones.
It's set in a small town setting, in the present day, told in the third person across several viewpoints. Its central concerns are love, redemption and identity. In weight it's light and escapist — easy to fall into.
It opens a series. The ending resolves happily. At 308 pages it's a quick read. It's well known, the kind of book most keen readers have heard of.
