Book eighty-five: Hex and the Single Girl

Hex and the Single Girl (2006)
Valerie Frankel


Rating: 0.75/5

There is nothing I dislike more than a rude, abrupt main character that is supposed to be witty. I just don’t think I got the humour here.

I was reading the first chapter of this, when the main character is meeting with the client, and I was just thinking “huh? Do they already know each other? Why is she being so rude her client? That’s not going to get her any repeat business…”

There are also a few too many characters and generally forced situations, that I think were supposed to be funny.

I obviously don’t get it.

Emma Hutch is a witch who puts her supernatural powers to good use by styling herself as the ultimate matchmaker.

Although she can't always promise true love, a ring or even commitment, she can guarantee that all-important first date between one of her clients and the object of his or her affections.

The problem is, she spends so much time chasing after other people's love interests, she has no time for her own. Until, that is, she meets Liam Dearborn, Manhattan's most eligible bachelor, who's intent on putting Emma under his own powerful spell.




Finished: Wednesday 27/6
