About this listen

One of Amazon's Best Romances of April!

Enemies-to-lovers has never been more enchanting in this witchy romantic comedy from the New York Times bestselling author of Go Hex Yourself.

Penny Roundtree wants nothing more than to be a familiar to a witch. She’s been a member of the Society of Familiars ever since she was old enough to join the Fam. There’s just a small problem—no one’s hiring. Witches and warlocks are so long-lived that there are far more familiars available than witches to train them. So when an unorthodox arrangement to apprentice under the table to a forbidden warlock presents itself, she takes it.

Willem Sauer is banned from having a familiar due to past transgressions, thereby limiting his magic-casting abilities. Unfortunately for the surly, Prussian warlock, he has no choice but to work with enthusiastic Penny as a familiar. They immediately clash like dried roan horsehair and honeycomb gathered by moonlight (it’s a terrible spell combination, ask anyone).

Casting spells has delightful perks Penny never could have dreamed of, but also greater dangers. Someone is targeting Penny. Willem and Penny must work together to catch their enemy, and if their ploy requires a little kissing on the side, who is to question the rules of magic?

Critic reviews

“Jessica Clare's What the Hex is a delightfully sweet and sexy romp that had me turning pages as fast as I could read them. Willem and Penny are grumpy/sunshine par excellence, and watching them spar with each other was every bit as delicious as watching them fall in love. I can't wait for the next spellbinding book in this series!”—Jenna Levine, author of My Roommate is a Vampire

“Fans of Clare’s Go Hex Yourself will be happy with this follow-up in which Willem and Penny continue the enemies-to-lovers arc, with their own twist. Hand to readers who love witty banter, the fake-dating trope, and couples who fall hard fast.”—Library Journal

“Clare makes it easy to see why these two characters work together—and Penny’s feisty pet squirrel adds some laughs. Series fans will be pleased.”—Publishers Weekly

Loved this sequel. It was very fun— great spice and funny banter. I’m glad this sunshine+grumpy couple was different from the last book, it kept it interesting.

Really Fun

I really enjoyed both books in this series and I wish there were more. The witch/familiar troupe is not that common and I found myself really enjoying it. I love the characters and how they all come together to help out Will when he’s in trouble.

Such a fun series

This is the second story in this series and they are great. I enjoy that the author builds the character development by including characters from the previous book. The concept of human familiars is new to me, but it makes for an interesting listen.

This series is great!

Cute story and I liked where it could’ve gone but the audio version was just not it for me. The male narrator reading his and the female parts during spicy scenes missed its mark. I thought the scenes would’ve been good otherwise

Cute story but

One of my favorite witchy romance

I really like that this book is a new spin on this genre. I tend to like spice, but in this book it would've been great to hear even more of the story. The spice scenes felt forced and at awkward times throughout the story. With more of the storyline I could have easily seen this become a classic.

Fresh ideas and Storyline
