3.5 stars- It's A Good Read

Like most girls at Rosemound High School, seventeen-year-old Lily Crane is acutely aware of Ryder Kingscott. Hands down the cutest guy in school, Ryder is cool, mysterious, and utterly untouchable…especially for Lily. For when she touches someone, Lily instantly learns all about their lives. And while such a skill might seem nifty, in truth it is wrecking Lily’s life.

So she is shocked when Ryder asks her out — and even more shocked to discover he has a rival. Lucian Bell is the gorgeous new kid who can’t take his eyes off of Lily. Being pursued by two hotties should make a girl happy, but Lily is skeptical. The boys act as if they’ve met before, hating each other with a passion that could only be rooted in a dark, dangerous past. A past full of terrible secrets. The kind of secrets that could get a girl killed (quoted from Goodreads).

Hex is more than a unique story with a fascinating mythology mixed with angels and witches. There's magic, sarcasm, romance, action and a back story with a rich history between the main characters. I was pleasantly surprised with the way in which Ramona introduces her creative spin on witchcraft and angel mythology. It was engaging and I found myself unable to put the book down, despite a few things that bothered me with the story.

I really like Lily. Her sarcasm and her voice are quite entertaining. She has a power that makes her feel like a freak, she's a witch. It's not until Ryder and Lucian become a part of her life does she learn about her history and just how powerful she really is. Don't get me wrong, I love a good romance and Ramona left me torn through much of the story whom I liked more, Lucian or Ryder. I was really bugged by how quickly Lily falls for Ryder. I mean, it's not hard to fall for the dark, mysterious boy who all the sudden makes you feel safe and you could have sworn you know him for somewhere, but having not spoken more than a word to each other and until one day he asks to prom and everything changes. I needed more of a buildup between the two of them. Once I got more of the story I understood why they both acted the way they did, even if at times I felt it was a little unrealistic.

Ramona has a great writing style that kept me hooked. I liked that she took the time to throw in the history between the characters and I of course loved the character twists. I spent a lot of the story trying to decide who was telling the truth, Ryder or Lucian. I liked that she kept me guessing until close to the end. Both boys will have readers swooning over them, ones a protector and the other the hunter and Lily is his pray. Having a Hex placed on all three of them means every so many years Lily is reincarnated and the love triangle, struggle and Lily's eventual death happens, but this time something changes and the Hex is broken. I'm looking forward to reading more books by Ramona. Hex, A Witch and Angel Tale is a fun, quick, unique read with a great romance, and a sarcastic voice that I think YA readers will enjoy.
