Book description
Hexed (B&N Exclusive Edition) - A Dark, Delightful Twist on a Classic
Emily McIntire's Hexed takes the familiar tale of "The Little Mermaid" and rewrites it with a wickedly alluring edge that feels both fresh and irresistibly familiar. In this sixth entry of the Never After Series, the author weaves together romance, mystery, and supernatural intrigue to create a story that lingers long after the last page.
From the moment you open the book-its exclusive cover glinting like a secret promise-you're pulled into a world where glamour meets danger. The prince of La Cosa Nostra is not just a dashing heir; he's a man bound by family duty and a dark underworld that threatens to swallow him whole. Enter the witch who steals his heart-her magic is as seductive as it is perilous, and her motives are layered with depth that defies simple villainy.
McIntire's prose shines in its balance of lyrical romance and gritty suspense. She paints scenes that feel both opulent and ominously shadowed: moonlit waterfronts where the sea whispers secrets, lavish ballrooms echoing with hidden agendas, and quiet moments where the characters confront their own fears. The pacing is steady, yet each chapter delivers a twist-whether it's a new ally in the shadows or a revelation about the prince's true lineage.
What truly sets Hexed apart is its emotional authenticity. The witch's heart is not merely stolen; it is explored with nuance-her past wounds, her longing for acceptance, and her fierce determination to protect those she loves. The prince, meanwhile, grapples with loyalty to family versus love that could topple dynasties. Their chemistry is electric, sparking tension and tenderness in equal measure.
The book's structure respects the fractured fairy tale format McIntire has perfected: familiar tropes are subverted, but the core of longing and sacrifice remains intact. Readers who enjoy the blend of urban fantasy with classic storytelling will find Hexed a perfect fit. Its B&N exclusive cover adds an extra layer of allure for collectors and fans alike.
In sum, Emily McIntire delivers another standout installment that proves why she's a USA Today bestselling author. Hexed is a darkly delicious read-romantic, mysterious, and utterly captivating. Whether you're revisiting the Never After Series or new to it, this book promises an enchanting journey that will keep you turning pages well into the night.
