Description
The follow-up to Erin Sterling’s New York Times bestselling hit The Ex Hex features fan favorite Gwyn and the spine-tinglingly handsome Wells Penhallow as they battle a new band of witches and their own magical chemistry.
Gwyn Jones is perfectly happy with her life in Graves Glen. She, her mom, and her cousin have formed a new and powerful coven; she’s running a successful witchcraft shop, Something Wicked; and she’s started mentoring some of the younger witches in town. As Halloween approaches, there’s only one problem—Llewellyn “Wells” Penhallow.
Wells has come to Graves Glen to re-establish his family’s connection to the town they founded as well as to make a new life for himself after years of being the dutiful son in Wales. When he opens up a shop of his own, Penhallow’s, just across the street from Something Wicked, he quickly learns he’s gotten more than he bargained for in going up against Gwyn.
When their professional competition leads to a very personal—and very hot—kiss, both Wells and Gwyn are determined to stay away from each other, convinced the kiss was just a magical fluke. But when a mysterious new coven of witches come to town and Gwyn’s powers begin fading, she and Wells must work together to figure out just what these new witches want and how to restore Gwyn’s magic before it’s too late.

Reviews for "Unveiling the enchantment: Discovering Florida's magical dwellings"
1. Michelle - 2 stars
I recently booked a stay at Magical Dwellings Florida and was very disappointed with my experience. The place was not as clean as I expected, with dirty carpets and dusty furniture. The amenities mentioned on the website were also not up to par, with a broken coffee machine and a barely functioning air conditioner. The customer service was also lacking, with no response to my emails or phone calls regarding these issues. Overall, I would not recommend staying at Magical Dwellings Florida based on my experience.
2. John - 1 star
I had a terrible experience at Magical Dwellings Florida. The property was advertised as luxurious and well-maintained, but it was far from it. The furnishings were outdated and in poor condition. The beds were uncomfortable, and the linens looked worn out. The cleanliness of the place was questionable, with visible stains on the carpets and dust on the surfaces. The customer service was also lacking, as it took them hours to respond to any of our complaints. Save your money and find a better accommodation option in Florida.
3. Sarah - 2 stars
Magical Dwellings Florida fell short of my expectations. The property I stayed at was not properly maintained, with broken lights and plumbing issues. The kitchen appliances were outdated and not in the best working condition. The advertised pool was dirty and uninviting, making it impossible to enjoy our stay completely. The communication with the management was also poor, as they brushed off our complaints and did not make an effort to resolve the issues. I would caution others against booking with Magical Dwellings Florida.
