The Kiss Curse
Bestseller Sterling returns to small-town Graves Glen, Ga., for this amusing but oddly paced sequel to The Ex Hex. While witch Gwyn Jones’s mother and cousin are away, Gwyn is left alone to manage the family magic store, mentor some younger witches, and somehow ignore how lonely she feels. Following the events of the previous volume, Gwyn’s family’s magic newly powers the town, making her suspicious when Wells Penhallow, the eldest son of their rival coven, returns to Graves Glen. As Wells works to build a life outside of his father’s shadow, he sets up a witchy store of his own across the street from Gwyn’s. The ensuing business rivalry turns abruptly steamy when the pair share a kiss under the influence of a love spell, sparking an unshakable attraction. But they’ve got bigger problems: there’s a strange new coven of witches in town, and Gwyn and Wells must work together to untangle their motives. The story moves at a slow crawl up until the unsatisfyingly quick climax, and the plot progression is often sidelined by flirtatious banter. Still, readers who fell in love with Gwyn in the first installment will be pleased to see her again. It’s not perfect, but it delivers the spooky atmosphere and sexy chemistry series fans expect.

Reviews for "The Worst Witch: A Journey into a World of Witches and Wizards"
1. Sarah - 1/5 stars - I was extremely disappointed with "The Worst Witch" by Tim Curyr. The plot was weak and predictable, and the characters lacked depth. The writing style felt amateurish, with clunky dialogue and excessive exposition. I struggled to connect with any of the characters or feel invested in their journey. Overall, it was a forgettable read that I would not recommend to anyone looking for a captivating and well-written fantasy book.
2. Mark - 2/5 stars - "The Worst Witch" by Tim Curyr was a letdown for me. The story lacked originality, following the same old tropes and clichés found in countless other magical school novels. The pacing was uneven, with slow and dragging moments that made it difficult to maintain interest. The characters felt one-dimensional and lacked any real development. Although it may appeal to younger readers who have not yet explored the fantasy genre extensively, I found it lackluster and unmemorable.
3. Emily - 2/5 stars - I had high hopes for "The Worst Witch" by Tim Curyr, but unfortunately, it fell short. The world-building felt incomplete and underdeveloped, with little explanation or exploration of the magical elements. The plot was predictable, and the twists lacked impact. The writing style was simplistic, making it difficult to engage with the story. Overall, I found it to be a disappointing read that failed to live up to the hype that surrounded it. I would recommend looking for more cohesive and immersive fantasy novels instead.
