Don't Hex and Drive by Juliette Cross is now available!
Notoriously bad at peopling, Isadora Savoie spends most of her time in the greenhouse or at the local animal shelter, using her Conduit powers of growth and healing. Content to remain in the background of the Savoie sister shenanigans, she’s reluctantly roped into the mystery of missing neighborhood girls. Now, she’s partnered with a flashy, flirty vampire to find them before it’s too late.
Devraj Kumar has seen and done it all. Three hundred years roaming the earth as a Stygorn—a legendary vampire warrior who operates in the shadows—has its perks. But ennui has set in. That is, until he has a run-in—literally—with an intriguing witch while on a new assignment in New Orleans. Fascinated by her resistance to his charms, Devraj can’t help but push her buttons in an effort to get to know the shy witch. Fortunately for him, she’s been recruited by the Lord of Vampires to assist Devraj on the case.
Between a Bollywood marathon, supernatural dating app, secret package, and sexy driving instruction, Isadora is in over her head. And Devraj? After just one taste, he’s playing for keeps.

This was a pretty good book. Don't Hex and Drive is a standalone book, within the Stay a Spell series. This series is a fun, paranormal romance series featuring a set of witchy sisters in New Orleans who each find love in their own books. This book is Isadora Savoie and Devraj's story. Isadora is a witch and is somewhat shy and reserved. She feels most at home with plants and animals. Devraj is a vampire and is a very charming, Bollywood actor. He is in town to help investigate a mystery of young women going missing, with vampires as the suspected culprits. Devraj moves next door to the Savoie sisters and one night, he accidentally hits Isadora with his car. She isn't hurt, luckily, but Devraj is intrigued by her and attracted to her. Isadora is reluctant to get involved with a seeming playboy, but the two soon strike up a romance, fall in love and solve the mystery.
I will say I liked this book, but not as much as book one, Wolf Gone Wild. It was an entertaining read with an interesting story. I did feel like it a little slow to start. I liked Isadora and Devraj in general but didn't completely love either one of them. Devraj has a history as a playboy in the press that he never fully explains to Isadora. She, herself, had low self esteem, while Devraj has a high self esteem, which made them feel unbalanced. I also felt like the relationship took too long to develop, lacked chemistry, and was at the very end before ILY's were exchanged. Still, this was a relatively enjoyable read in general.
Overall, this was an entertaining book, even if it's not my favorite in the series. I still enjoy this fun, paranormal series and look forward to the rest of the sisters' books.
