reviews_and_ramblings | Hex On The Ex by Gabrina Garza

Jake loves Jory, Jory loves Pierce and Pierce loves everybody. In few words this is all the story.

Jory and Pierce were lovers but something happens and they drove apart; it's not clear, but I would say that Pierce dumped Jory. Now Jory is still lusting after his ex and after an year he has only eyes for him. So blind that he can't see that his long-time friend Jake wants something more from him. Jake was there way before Pierce, but Jory never looked at him as a potential lover. Now Jake is sharing an home with Pierce, like friends but without benefits, and they are having a summer masquerade party to open the house to their friends. Jory is obviously invited, but he can only think that he will have the chance to see again Pierce. And so when a fake tarot reader tells him to make a wish, he asks for one more night with Pierce. But an old motto say to be careful to what you wish since you can obtain it...

The story is pretty complicated, but sometime you can't see the obvious. In this case the obvious is that Jory and Jake are made to be together, and Pierce is a vain man who Jory would better to forget. The complicate way to approach the story is for Jory to obtain his night with Pierce, only to realize that who he really wants his Jake, and in the end meeting also a ghost from his past.

The story is not really complete, it's only a first part on a multiple books series, and so in the end, Jory has still all his options in front of him and he is not ready to do a choice. I'm not sure that the choice to stop the story at this point is a good one, since in this moment, no one of the characters come out in a good way: Pierce is still vain and selfish, Jake is still a good friends but without the core and strenght to be the real thing for Jory, and Jory is a man who really has to make clear in his mind.
