The Kiss Curse: A Novel

The follow-up to Erin Sterling's New York Times bestselling hit The Ex Hex features fan favorite Gwyn and the spine-tinglingly handsome Wells Penhallow as they battle a new band of witches and their own magical chemistry.


Gwyn Jones is perfectly happy with her life in Graves Glen. She, her mom, and her cousin have formed a new and powerful coven; she's running a successful witchcraft shop, Something Wicked; and she's started mentoring some of the younger witches in town. As Halloween approaches, there's only one problem--Llewellyn "Wells" Penhallow.

Wells has come to Graves Glen to re-establish his family's connection to the town they founded as well as to make a new life for himself after years of being the dutiful son in Wales. When he opens up a shop of his own, Penhallow's, just across the street from Something Wicked, he quickly learns he's gotten more than he bargained for in going up against Gwyn.

When their professional competition leads to a very personal--and very hot--kiss, both Wells and Gwyn are determined to stay away from each other, convinced the kiss was just a magical fluke. But when a mysterious new coven of witches come to town and Gwyn's powers begin fading, she and Wells must work together to figure out just what these new witches want and how to restore Gwyn's magic before it's too late.

Great book! The classic thorned love story. They begin with a deep hatred toward eachother but their imaginations start to run wild as their relationship begins to take off!

This is the sequel to the ex hex. It can be read without reading the previous. I thought the book was a fun short read and loved that this was Gwyn’s love story. I didn’t enjoy it as much as I enjoyed the first book but since it was so quick to read it was a nice palate cleanser between heavier books.

Equally adorable as The Ex Hex. I enjoyed that this one was more a fight for your life while Ex Hex was sillier. It had more suspense and I didn't cry as much reading this one. Wells and Gywn are the most adorable example of opposites attracting, yet they get eachother so well. Gwyn's baby witches Cait, Parker and Sam were like adorable little siblings always getting themselves into a predicament but then they ultimately helped save the day! I en...read more
