ppcfransen 's review for:
Hexes and O's
by Lisa Wells
This was my least favourite of the three Singles town books. Although it was the only one that actually explained the series title.
The problem was that Remington seemed to lack purpose, other than to swoon over her neighbour Jason. There was something to do with a to-do list her friend Beth left her as part of a last will. But that was drowned in the swooning. And Beth’s memory was leaky as a sieve, so she was no help. I think that part was supposed to be an element of comedy. Alas, it was lost on me. There was something to do with the FBI, but that was a convoluted plot point. And left the story with some unnecessary loose ends.
Anyway, for the most part the story fizzled. Perhaps if it had been about 30% shorter, some urgency could have been introduced.
2.5 stars, rounded down.
