Hexy Beast by Avery Flynn

Release Date: September 8, 2026

Series: The Sherwood Witches #3

Pages: 352

Genres: Romance, Paranormal

An impulsive witch and a buttoned-up werewolf discover love is its own beast in this spicy rom-com from USA Today bestselling author Avery Flynn.

As the eldest daughter of the magical Sherwood family, I’m supposed to have everything together. Well, joke’s on them—I, Effie Sherwood, am chaos incarnate, and you’ll never be able to guess my next move.

Like jumping on the back of Darius Aetos’ motorcycle. Not only is Darius grumpy, gruff, and hot, he’s also the head of the Aetos werewolf pack.

My spur of the moment decision has quickly become a much bigger commitment, because a pack elder is convinced this hunk of a man (or wolf, depending on the hour) is my fated mate.

Even though I’m a witch and he’s a werewolf, we’re stuck together until we can find our way out of the tricky pack politics. But under the light of the blue moon, it’s almost starting to feel like Darius doesn’t want to stay away from me. And I’m not sure if it’s my magic going haywire or the starlit skies, but I can’t imagine leaving his arms either.

My Review:

From the eye-catching cover to the intriguing synopsis, Flynn delivers a witty romcom in Hexy Beast. As the third book in The Sherwood Witches Series, it follows the story of two unlikely individuals who might have a lot more in common than they originally thought. A must-read!

At the beginning of the story we are introduced to Effie Sherwood, a free spirited witch who has the reputation for being unpredictable. As the eldest daughter of the Sherwood family, the most powerful in all Witchingdom. Effie was supposed to inherit their family magic and become the head witch of the Sherwoods. But destiny had other plans and instead declared her not the chosen one. Leaving her wondering her worth at a very young age. So it became her mission to be authentically herself, even everyone in WitchyGram thinks that she is outrageous.

It’s her braveness that is needed when a magical spell book is at risk of landing in the wrong hands, making Effie jump on the back of Darius Aetos’ motorcycle. Not realizing just how much her life was about to change forever. Now, she is accidentally kidnapped by the Alpha wolf who might also be her fated mate. It is unheard of in her world for a wolf and witch to match, but the more time they spend together, the harder it becomes to ignore the pull that they have towards each other. Leaving them no choice, but to make a decision whether they want to ignore their feelings or give in.

All in all, I absolutely loved reading Hexy Beast. The chemistry between the characters is magnetic and relatable. Their steamy banter will leave you swooning and rooting for them until the very end. I loved their relationships with their loved ones, it made the story that much more enjoyable to read. The ending was really sweet and I cannot wait to read from the author in the future. :)

Awk-Weird by Avery Flynn

Release Date: October 14th 2019 by Entangled: Amara

Series: Ice Knights #2

Pages: 239

Genres: Romance, Contemporary

There’s more to me than just being awk-weird. I own my own flower shop, have some great friends, and I have my eye on adopting the most adorable kitten. But sadly, hot guys don’t tend to be blown away by my trivia-spouting, dorky self.

So when a Thor-lookalike who happens to be a professional hockey player hits on me at my bestie’s wedding rehearsal party... You better believe I climbed that tree like a cat. And the fact that it happened not once, not twice, but three times? Yeah, that’s pretty much a once-in-a-lifetime experience for a woman like me.

There’s zero chance I’ll end up ever seeing him again... right?

Until the pregnancy test comes up positive. What happens next?

Oh my God, I wish I knew…

My Review:

Not having read other books by Avery Flynn before, I didn’t know what to expect before reading Awk - Weird. Needless to say, I was really impressed with the story and how well Flynn managed to develop the characters from beginning to end. The story was sweet and entertaining, a definite must read for sure.

At the beginning of the story we get to meet Tess Gardner, a flower shop owner who happens to love facts. She is attending one of her friend’s wedding rehearsal party when she overhears a group of hockey players playing a trivia game and answers the questions when she thinks that they are not looking. But she is noticed by one of the players and he invites her to play. Everyone has a good time and Tess immediately feels chemistry between her and Cole. They dance and soon things get carried away. It wouldn’t be until a month later that things would change their lives forever.

Tess has always felt that she doesn’t belong. After growing up being shuffled from relative to relative like an unwanted obligation, she started to see things as temporary and made her feel invisible. She has a quirky personality to which people weren’t as accepting of and her love for facts began. Her priority changes when she finds out that she is pregnant and feels the need to give the baby what she didn’t have growing up. But it’s her connection with Cole that make things harder for her and the more time they spend together the more she begins to fall for him. She is afraid of getting hurt and doesn’t know if Cole has any feeling for her at all.

Cole Phillips is good at what he does, hockey. He is the overachiever who happens to like structure and a routine. So when Tess shows up to tell him that she is pregnant things don’t go as he plans. His life is about to change forever and he doesn’t know how to react at first. He had a one-night-stand with Tess, yet his ex is all he can think about. What she is going to say once they get back together or so he thinks. Cole is hopeful that everything in his back goes back to normal, but the minute Tess moves in with her cat all hell breaks loose and he’ll have to decide if is worth giving their relationship a try or not.

I absolutely loved this book! It was quirky and funny. Tess has been through so much growing up so it’s understandable for her to have her guard up. I loved her personality and how caring she is. On the other hand, Cole might love his routine but he has the biggest heart. They have a lot in common and facts is one of them. They have definitely found their match and they are able to help each other overcome their pasts in order to move on. They challenge each other and it just proves how they are meant to be together. I loved the interactions that she has with her friends, they are her family and they made the book that much funnier. All in all, the story was great and the characters developed as well. The ending is so sweet and it’s definitely one not to be missed. I would highly recommend checking out this book and I cannot wait to read more from the author in the future. :)
