Thank you to Macmillan/St. Martin’s Griffin for sending me an ARC of this title. I received this copy for free and this review contains my honest opinions. 
 
Not Your Ex’s Hexes is the second installment in Asher’s paranormal romance series and even more humorous and lighthearted than the first book. While I enjoyed the paranormal society aspects in the first book, I definitely preferred the focus on the characters and their relationships in this one. I had a great time with these characters and was glad to see the banter I enjoyed so much before carried into this next story. 
 
If you haven’t picked up this series yet, I would recommend starting with the first book. Although most of the plot in this book can be read as a standalone, Rose had some major life changes in the first book that give a deeper understanding to her character. While Rose wasn’t a character I was particularly interested in learning more about after Not The Witch You Wed, this book did her justice and I’m so glad to have prioritized it. 
 
I’m also looking forward to the next book and (hopefully) multiple other installments. This series is set up well for many more stories: Olive’s story is hinted at near the end (which I can’t wait to read) and there are a lot of interesting supporting characters who could shoulder their own story (Harper is still my favorite character and I’d love to see her get more page space). Thank you again to the publisher for sending me a free ARC.
