Book Review: ‘The Kiss Curse: A Novel’ By Erin Sterling

The follow-up to The Ex-Hex is a delightful, fun, magical rom-com. We return once again to the small-town of Graves Glen, Ga, where magic is flying and new witch coven has come to town. Following the previous book, the Jone’s family is now in power in the town and with her mother gone, Gwen is the Queen witch at the moment. When Wells Penhallow shows up in town and opens a witchy store across the street from her own store, it’s war. He has come to town to escape the shadows of his father and his brother is also in town, married to Gwen’s best friend. One night when Gwen is letting Wells have it, a magical spell overcomes them and they have a steamy kiss. This ends the war and they call a truce and things happen between them. When Gwen’s magic goes haywire, she teams up with Wells and three baby witches (the characters are the highlight of the book) she’s been tutoring to find out what is happening to her. She suspects it’s the new coven but learns a shocking truth, thanks to the baby witches and soon finds her life in danger and Wells and the baby witches will need to try and save her. Fans of the first book will be happy with this one.
