Go Hex Yourself by Jessica Clare

A fun, steamy, angsty Reylo-inspired witchy romance. It’s my second time reading this & I love it that much more.

Reggie is clueless to the world of magic until invited to work for warlock Ben’s witchy aunt. When his aunt gets hexed into a coma, it’s up to tall, dark & moody Ben to team up with Reggie to save the day. They fall in love & have plenty of sexy times but also have time for some spells too.

Anyway, love this book! A great witchy Reylo romance.

Summary:

When Reggie Johnson answers a job ad in the paper, she's astonished to find that she's not applying to 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.

Romance Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5

Spice Rating: 🌶️🌶️ /5

Overall Rating: ⭐⭐⭐ /5

Would I Recommend? Mmm... yes.

What I Liked:

The story itself is very interesting and well thought out. Many parts that were unexpected yet humorous and fun to read.

Most of the characters are solid individuals who add their weight to the story.

Aunt Dru is definitely the star of the show, regardless who the main characters are meant to be!

The "enemies to lovers" trope played out fairly well and took its time throughout the story. I'm glad they didn't "fall in love" by chapter three.

What I Didn't Like:

A few plot holes that make me question a few characters or wonder if there was more the author could have expanded on or finished seeing through.

It's written in first POV and has alternating chapters which made it feel weird alternating between Reggie's and Ben's perspectives consistently. It definitely could have benefited being written in third POV instead.

A few characters got on my nerves and I couldn't like them no matter how important they were to the main characters and the story.

The "grumpy/sunshine" trope didn't work too well in this story because Reggie isn't really "sunshine". She's very skeptical and weary of others, making her almost skittish and too cautious. There isn't much happiness found in that.

My Thoughts:

Once again, I fell for another Relyo-inspired novel. I couldn't resist the premise! An enemies-to-lovers witchtok vibe between a brooding "Ben" and a runaway "Rey" couldn't sit on my TBR pile for too long, especially with October right around the corner!

Unfortunately I didn't enjoy this novel as much as I hoped. If it weren't for the fact the main love interests are based off my favorite Star War's star-crossed lovers I would have dropped it at 30%.

Reggie answers a newspaper and misinterprets the ad. She plays the card game Magic the Gathering and mistakes the "magic" part of the ad as a reference to the game. When she shows up to her interview she quickly learns the old woman has no intention of playing with magic cards when she can perform magical spells in her kitchen. Reggie is thrown back by their "delusions" but is pulled into accepting the job when the pay is too good to be true.

I've never played Magic the Gathering but it was used to bring Reggie and Ben closer so it I suppose it pulled it's weight later on in the story.

Reggies best friend and ex-roommate was my LEAST favorite character. He was meant to be an overly friendly guy who loved Reggie like a sister but I couldn't overlook his flaws. Who in their right mind would send their boyfriend's dick pics to their best friend? Apparently that was a very normal behavior for him, although Reggie never appreciated it. Every nude and screenshot he captured of his boyfriend was sent to Reggie with a parade of emojis following. I know it was meant to make Ben jealous but I couldn't get over how gross and annoying that is!

Not to mention moving his boyfriend into the apartment they used to share a few weeks after Reggie accepted her new job. Reggie worried the boyfriend taking her old room closed her escape plan, just in case the job didn't work out, but she didn't say anything on behalf of his happiness. But it was kind of a dick move on his part. Thankfully he isn't a huge part of the story.

There were also a few (major, imo) plot points that remained unfinished and left me with many questions.

Plot point number one; apparently Reggie has magic in her lineage otherwise she wouldn't have been able to answer the charmed newspaper ad. The fact she was able to read the otherwise invisible ad told Aunt Dru she has some magic in her blood. However that is never explored or addressed again. We learn Reggie could be a witch but nothing is done with that information. It's literally dropped and forgotten.

Plot point number two; her two thieving free-loading parents don't have a history of their own. Considering Reggie has magic in her past I thought her parents would be revealed to have dabbled with a few spells in their youth but unfortunately that doesn't happen. We keep hearing about her horrible parents who use her as a bottomless bank but we don't know anything about them beyond that. We don't know what they're spending the money on or how they're able to continually find her (magic would have been a great excuse to explain that since no one is able to figure out how they're able to tail her whenever they need to steal more money from her, not to mention practicing magic is very expensive as Aunt Dru proves through her shopping list which would explain why they're always broke so quickly). I feel there is definitely missed potential here that would have done a lot for Reggie's part of the story.

The romance is well written but the spice is...

Ben has lived for over 500 years, has taken lovers in the past, but is somehow very vanilla. Their multiple sexual encounters are... awkward at best. I mean, the first time they began to explore each other's bodies was at the bottom of a muddy well. They don't have the best decision making once their sex drives begin to spike. Sure, it makes for fun situations but it puts a damper on the sexiness.

The most infamous moment of sexual tension having to be when Reggie willingly confessed she spied on Ben masturbating through a crystal ball when she wanted to test if magic was real. The fact he took it as a dare makes it all the more uncomfortable.

Overall, the book had a great story to tell with characters that added depth and humor. Although there are some parts to it that I didn't enjoy it's still a good book to read. I'd recommend it even though it's not a solid five stars.

Go Hex yourself by Jessica Claire

So I will be reviewing 'Go Hex yourself'by Jessica Claire

I will rate this a 8/10

I do have to mention I am a cheesy romance reader. So these reviews might just be all romance novels, Ops.

From beginning it was super quirky. The women obviously doesn't believe these people are being real about magic, and that they are all lunatics. The author made it feel so fun, and lighthearted as one of the main characters which is the old woman who is the employer made everything so sassy and makes you feel like "is this old lady for real?" The woman is senile!

Reggie, rhe main character aka the love interest, is so skeptical and very like curious. She is also very honest, and doesn't want to hide from people. She is a refreshing type of character that leaves you rooting for her.

Ben is a pain at first. It's like he's trying his best to not like Reggie, and try to be this asshole of a wizard but his character development is super sweet. He is someone you are like you joking me at first and then you are like you are a fool get that girl

I think this is a good read. It is fun, sweet, funny, and all together a good book to sit in the bath with.

I am still working on the throne of glass series, but not sure again ehat I will review next.

Xoxo marlie

Finished up the Death of Jane Lawrence. It was clearly a book written for me, and I enjoyed every bit of it. Now I’m gonna read (tomorrow) Go Hex Yourself and Beach Read by Emily Henry. Have a feeling I’m gonna take Emily Henry to school with me, but that’s okay, since I only have two days of school this week.

It still baffles me how no one in the Skylanders fandom ever expanded on the CANON mirror universe. Other fandoms build those from scratch while we had it laid out for us and did nothing. Deplorable.

WIP WEDNESDAY

This is your daily reminder that there should be more Bonnie & Caroline friendship in fics, thank you for coming to my ted talk.

“God, I’m so excited for Tyler to finally be able to come home.”

“He won’t have to take orders from Klaus when he’s dead, that’s for sure,” Bonnie muttered. She glanced up when Caroline remained quiet, frowning slightly. “Elena mentioned he invited you to the ball? Why would Klaus do that?”

Caroline scowled up at the ceiling, annoyed by the direction the conversation had taken. “I have no idea.”

Bonnie stopped looking through the grimoire. “Well, what did he want last night?”

“I don’t know.” Caroline shrugged, a little lost, throwing a hand up. “He asked me to dance, we talked, he showed me his artwork-”

“Artwork?” Bonnie echoed.

Caroline frowned slightly, worrying her lip.

“Yeah, he’s an artist, I guess,” she tried to shrug off, like it wasn’t a big deal. Even serial killers had hobbies, right? She didn’t mention the drawing he’d done of her - nope, not happening. She scoffed, shaking her head. “I’m pretty sure interpol has half his art collection listed as stolen or missing - like the feds would have a field day if they raided that place.”

“So he asked you to dance, spent time with you, showed you his personal art collection…” Her best friend paused, slowly closing the grimoire, eyeing Caroline critically. “...like a date?”

Caroline shot up into a sitting position, glaring at Bonnie. 

“It was NOT a date,” she hissed, slicing her hands through the air, as if to ward the accusation off. “There was no ‘dating’ of any kind.”

Bonnie’s eyes widened a fraction and she deliberately turned her gaze back to the grimoire. 

“Sounds like a date to me,” she muttered under her breath, opening the book back up.

Caroline tried to push the memory of Klaus admitting he fancied her out of her head, something fluttering in her stomach. 

“He was just cozying up to me to get to Elena,” she tried to excuse. Her eyes shot to Bonnie, pleading with her to agree. “Right?”

Bonnie sighed, regarding her sadly. “Is it really that impossible to consider that a guy may actually like you?”

“Bonnie,” Caroline carefully enunciated, “It’s Klaus.”

Her friend rolled her eyes, closing the grimoire again and throwing it to the side. “Yeah, obviously I’m not saying you should date him, Caroline. I’m just saying you’re,” she shrugged, gesturing to all of her, “you know, a catch. Any guy would be lucky to have you.” 

Bonnie leaned forward, grasping Caroline’s hands in hers as she smiled softly. Touched, Caroline couldn’t help but smile back.

“Hell,” Bonnie continued, “Tyler doesn’t even deserve you after he left you for dead in the woods and then ghosted you.”

“He’s trying to break the sire bond for me, Bonnie,” Caroline pointed out, her glare half-hearted. Secretly, her friend’s fierce protectiveness warmed her heart.

“Even so,” Bonnie conceded, letting go of Caroline’s hands, “it was a dick move, one he made on your birthday of all days. You don’t have to excuse him all the time.”

Caroline sighed - Bonnie was right. She let her head fall into her hands, running her fingers anxiously through her hair. Biting her lip, she looked back up at Bonnie.

“And if Klaus does actually…like me?” she asked quietly.

Sheepishly, Bonnie smiled, the expression halfway to a wince. “Start growing wolfsbane in the garden?”

“Would that even work on a hybrid?”

“He’s part werewolf, right?” Bonnie shrugged, picking up her grimoire again. A wicked smile curled around the corners of her face. “You’d assume so.”

Caroline shook her head, grinning too as she pulled out her phone. “Guess I need to google where I can get wolfsbane from, then,” she said, like it was a great chore.

“Check Petco, maybe you’ll find the dog version of catnip.”

Unable to keep straight faces, they giggled, both of them doubling over laughing.
