Get Midnight with the Hexed
Midnight with the Hex, the second book in the Celestial Haven series, is a thrilling continuation of the story that began in Wicked in the Pines. If you loved the slow burn of the first book, get ready for an explosive ride in book two. Author, L.R. Friedman, wastes no time in diving into the action and spicing things up for the readers.
Midnight with the Hex picks up right where Wicked in the Pines left off. Oakley has regained her powers and is ready to take on whatever challenges come her way. And boy, does she have her hands full in this book. From the very first page, the action and romance are turned up to the max. Gone is the slow burn of the first book, and instead, readers are treated to a sizzling and spicy read.
But it’s not all about the steamy scenes. As the plot thickens, secrets are revealed, and the mystery of the missing families deepens. We also get to know more about the other supernatural characters in the town, adding more layers to the already rich world-building. And let’s not forget about the noisy neighbors who seem to be causing more trouble than ever before.
One of the highlights of this book is seeing Oakley embrace her powers and use them in her day-to-day life. We get to see her relaunch her business with the help of her witchy friends and learn how to juggle the attention of the men vying for her affections. It’s refreshing to see a strong and independent female character who can hold her own and doesn’t need a man to save her.
As a fan of witchy reads, I couldn’t resist picking up this series, and I’m so glad I did. Both books have rekindled my love for stories about witches, and I can’t wait to see where the series goes next. The ‘why choose’ trope may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but Amore has managed to execute it in a way that keeps the readers invested in the story and the characters.
