*I received a copy of this book on NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for this opportunity*

Whimsical, magical, and just a little confusing (but what good witchy book isn't?), HEX APPEAL is a delightful addition to any spooky season TBR pile.

Life has thrown Josh Henderson, former lawyer and American, a pretty steep curveball when he finds himself the landlord of several decrepit properties in Good Winter, England. Struggling to find a new life in his new country, he's swept up into the whirlwind of Essie Winterscale.

Essie, her own life practically one big curveball, has found herself secluded in her childhood home of Beldam House. And while the house and her family are magical (literally magical), she can't help but feel like her existance is held together by nothing more than a threading shoestring and a spell.

What follows is a crazy story that involves goats, time traveling, steamy kisses in the rain, and amnesia. In a similar vein to The Ex Hex, Johnson taps into the massive desire for a modern witchy stories. Is the plot confusing at times? Yes. The story's pacing was a bit off, and it felt like there were too many plot lines for a single book. However, at it's heart this story is charming and a wonderful choice for a light read!
