Blurb:
I didn’t expect to be evicted the first thing I
returned from my holiday, but thanks to my roommate Nick, that’s what I was
facing.
It’s not exactly easy to find a new place to live
in London, so when Phoebe Thorpe spots a room-to-let sign at the window of a
magic shop, she doesn’t hesitate. The room is perfect, even if chores are part
of the rent. There is only one thing odd about her new landladies. They seem to
believe magic exists.
Phoebe doesn’t believe in magic, but unfortunately
magic believes in her. A mysterious statuette is sent to her boss, Archibald
Kane, and she accidentally triggers a curse meant for him. Naturally, the first
person she curses is her ex-boyfriend. But why would anyone want to curse her
boss, a perfectly ordinary antiques dealer? Or is he?
Phoebe sets out to break the curse with the help
of her new housemates. But it isn’t easy trying to solve a mystery she doesn’t
even believe is real. Then again, that hellhound chasing her seemed pretty
solid… Maybe there’s more to magic than hexing one’s ex.
This is the first book in House of Magic, a new
series by Susanna Shore blending mystery and magic, with a resourceful heroine
and plenty of action.
My review:
Hexing the Ex is a delightful new series featuring a young woman
drawn into the world of the paranormal. I loved watching Phoebe discover the paranormal and discover the ups and downs of being
cursed. This is a truly fun read that left me wanting more.
