Release Day Review: 5 stars for Go Hex Yourself by Jessica Clare

It’s one hex of an attraction in this romantic comedy from New York Times bestselling author Jessica Clare.

When Reggie Johnson answers a job ad in the paper, she’s astonished to find that she’s not applying for work at her favorite card game, Spellcraft: The Magicking. Instead, she’s applying to be an actual familiar for an actual witch. As in, real magic.

The new job has a few perks - great room and board, excellent pay, and she's apprenticing to a powerful witch. Sure, the witch is a bit eccentric. And sure, there was that issue with the black cat Reggie would prefer to forget about. The biggest problem, however, is warlock Ben Magnus, her employer's nephew and the most arrogant, insufferable, maddening man to ever cast a spell.
 
Reggie absolutely hates him. He's handsome, but he's also bossy and irritating and orders her around. Ben's butt might look great in a crystal ball vision, but that's as far as it goes. But when someone with a vendetta targets the household, she finds herself working with Ben to break a deadly curse. Apparently, when they're not fighting like cats and dogs, things get downright...bewitching.

 What I thought about Go Hex Yourself

 

Oh, this book was so much fun!  I really didn't know what to expect because I am a first-time reader of this author, and Go Hex Yourself is really terrific.

 

Reggie needs a better paying job and when she sees an add for a spellcaster, she thinks its all about a card game.  What she finds is Dru, the very old matriarch of the Magnus family and her nephew and warlock Ben.

 

Ben isn't too eager to have an outsider acting as his aunt's famliar, especially when she doesn't believe in magic.  So it all starts with Ben convincing Reggie that magic does indeed exist, with some help from Dru. 

 

It's a cute story, and the dialogue between Ben, Dru, and Reggie just sparkles. It's snappy and realistic and Reggie loves to challenge Ben who is just terrific as the warlock that everyone hates. He falls hard for Reggie and it's romantic and sweet and they are just so very good together.  

 

This book left me feeling happy and I'm really hoping that there will be more to this series. I'm not a huge reader of rom-coms but I will be definitely be looking for more of this world of old magic.  Loved this story, the snappy dialogue and especially Reggie and Ben. Recommended if you are looking for a light, sweet, paranormal romance.
