Hexed & Vexed book review

 

A book review of the novel: Hexed & Vexed written by Rebecca Royce.

Theme: Weak Heroine, Alpha Male, Witches

What the book was about:
A witch without any powers who was stood up at the alter. A strong Alpha witch who wants to win her heart.

What the book actually contained:
"The worst witch in witching school" was just trying to make a life for herself after being dumped at the alter. She had her own store, was living her life without magic and was just trying to fit in as an 'unwitch' in a 'witchy world'.    Then a strong alpha male comes along and needs her help, which of course she gives and will they have a happily ever after or will everything get in their way?

Was the book worth buying/reading?
Yes!  I loved the plot, the 'witch who wasn't really a witch'. How she kept bumping into her ex all the time. Those damn cookies that her mother made her eat every week that were god-awful but she ate it anyway to be polite. The twin sister and her new husband. The way the Alpha male was introduced, how she helped him and his honest 'please pick me' confessions that he kept using throughout the book.
I'm definitely looking forward to reading more in the series.

Rating: 5 stars out of 5.

A book review of the novel: Fog & Mist written by Kelsie Engen

Theme:

Strong Heroine, Strong Alpha, Fantasy

What the book was about:

Cursed land.
Evil stepmother.
A princess cast into prison then slavery.
A handsome prince searching for his lost sister.

What the book actually contained:

A princess cast into princess for the only crime of 'existing' then sold into slavery. Will she survive the cold? Will she survive her slave master? How far will her evil stepmother go to destroy the princess?  Will the prince find his lost sister and what does this have to do with the slave princess?
Why the heck is it so damn cold, will it end?

Was the book worth buying/reading?

Yes!  Although this book is based on a fairytale (Snow White), it's certainly not for children. The first few chapters are a bit of a drag but the author is laying down the plot & introducing the characters - hang in there!  There is one chapter that is so intense at the beginning, it almost made me put the book down as I couldn't handle the stress the character was going thru!  ..but I stuck in there and glad I did and am looking forward to the next in the series.

Rating:

4 stars out of 5.
