The supernaturals also have their own justice system and each district has their own overlord and enforcer. I love this world of paranormal romance that Juliette Cross has created, The characters, most of them being supernaturals, live in New Orleans. I was so moved when Devraj gave Isadora his most precious possession as a token of his love. And the ending! The ending was so romantic!! My heart swelled with love. Juliette Cross gives us the perfect amount of Bollywood, without allowing it to completely take over the story. When I’m in the mood for Bollywood, I just pull out my Dil To Pagal Hai and DDLJ DVDs and sit my ass down for 4+ hours and binge watch the movies. But when I want a full-on Bollywood story, I don’t usually look for it in books. I also like that while Devraj is a Bollywood star, the story itself doesn’t turn into a full-on Bollywood movie. Don’t Hex and Drive was the perfect balm for my heart after my last disastrous read. It was so light and breezy, with no dramatics. I love Devraj and Isadora’s low angst, sweet, and steamy romance. At the same time, Devraj and Isadora are working with Ruben to investigate the mysterious disappearances of college girls in New Orleans.

But Isadora soon realizes that the chemistry between them just keeps getting stronger and stronger. And yes, Devraj and Isadora are opposites: he’s an extrovert and she’s an introvert.

She believes that they are too different to be any good together as a couple. As it turns out, Devraj is her new next door neighbour! And he’s a famous Bollywood star on top of that! At first, Isadora tries hard to deny the sparks between her and Devraj. And she’s further annoyed by the fact that he is a hot ass vampire. When Conduit witch Isadora gets hit by Devraj’s car, to say that she is upset would be an understatement. I need more brown vampires, please and thank you!! I am HERE for this kind of vampire content!! I’ve been telling all my South Asian friends about this book because like me, a brown-skinned Indian vampire never really crossed their mind before! And she does it with cultural and religious sensitivity. In Don’t Hex and Drive, Juliette Cross defies the norm and gives us a BROWN-SKINNED INDIAN VAMPIRE. When it comes to vampires, the media usually feeds us the pale white skinned kind-especially since the rise of Twilight.

I really enjoyed both Wolf Gone Wild and Don’t Hex and Drive, so I recommend both books. I received an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.ĭon’t Hex and Drive is the second book in the Stay a Spell series and it can easily be read as a standalone.
