Bros and the Witch #1
Do You Even Hex, Bro?
On the run. Running out of power. Claimed by a pack of… himbo wolves?
When I found my boyfriend in bed with his second-in-command, I ran with what little I could stuff into a duffel bag and the dwindling magic in my veins. As a scarred, touch-starved siphon witch who feeds off energy, I need to Bond with another power source—and fast.
What I don't need? Four himbo wolf shifters claiming I'm their fated mate.
The jagged scars on my face are a daily reminder of why I hate shifters, but Stormvale University was the only place I could go where my former coven couldn't touch me. I just wasn't expecting Killian, Rowan, Micah, and Sean—the alpha shifters of Lupe Tau Fraternity—to offer me the energy I need to survive.
Or to be so enthusiastic about the means of providing it.
My ex will stop at nothing to drag me back to his coven so he can use me like a magical battery.
And the Lupe Tau wolves will stop at nothing to protect what they’ve decided is theirs.
-Do You Even Hex, Bro? is the first book in a Paranormal Romance RH series about a grumpy witch with scars and trust issues becoming the last thing she wanted - the unwitting obsession of a pack of massive himbo frat wolves and the center of a magical war. This series follows the same characters and must be read in order. There are five books total planned, with the series concluding in May-June 2026.

2.75 stars. It was fine.
From the description, I was expecting more himbo. And I was all in for a funny book about a pack of himbos doting on a befuddled witch. Maybe I have the wrong idea of what a himbo is? I was thinking clueless or air-headed, sweet and friendly with golden retriever energy, and very giving in the sexual department. What I got was typical horny frat bros. The one MMC that was, I guess, closest, was just unserious and thirsty.
The ending was abrupt in a way that made it feel unfinished. I much prefer each book in a series to have a resolved story arc within the overall series arc.
Not to yuck anyone's yum, but the lone sex scene was icky. Period sex
I may check out the next book in the series because Villeneuve fascinates me.

I cant read anymore. I had low expectations because of "himbo" being all in the blurb. But I expected more of a bimbo, clueless, airhead, but hot men. What we got was sex deprived frat boys drinking brewskis looking for p***y. And these are the heroes. Gross. I feel like I got hit on by a creep at the bar while reading their chapters. Nope. Pass. DNF. Not for me.

Fun read
I saw someone share some funny quotes from this and it sounded fun, so I had to read it for the laughs. It definitely lived up to the ridiculous himbo frat boy shifter expectation I had and now I'm looking forward to the sequel.
The following quote about halfway through the book made me laugh:
"It's an ancient academic text on rare magical classifications, and the pages are yellowed and falling apart. That's how you know it's good. Or someone pissed on it. Hoping it's the former."

i honestly don't know why i read this. i started it and somehow finished it, but it was just awful.

I knew exactly what I was signing up for, and it absolutely delivered. Funny, chaotic, and an easy read.

These men were disgusting. How did we go from traumatized to period sex in the span of a single chapter? Absolutely unreal. And don't even get me started on the cookie cutter dirty talk. It might've worked if the characters had a shred of chemistry.
But the FMC doesn't even meet MMCs until halfway through the book. Halfway. The pacing is a disaster, and somehow the chemistry and smut are even worse.
The only remotely interesting character is the mysterious professor. Unfortunately, the writing does everything in its power to make reading about him insufferable. Every single goddam time he opens his mouth, we're reminded of his unnatural stillness and mysterious energy. I GET IT ALREADY... He's mysterious. The wolves don't trust him. Did we need to hear about it over and over???

Why is this going to be a series? Pacing kinda made no sense. There was not a conflict beyond the first 80 pages, so I thought it was a standalone. Feel like it’s overall pretty weak in terms of writing plot and character arcs.

This series starter was fantastic. Is it a literary masterpiece? Nope. It’s a story masterpiece 😁. It’s engrossing and hilarious. Sean anyone ?? I loved all the himbos and our girl came a long way in this short book.
Just what is the professor 🤔 . I have my theories.
I was lucky to pick up the arcs on this one and book three. Jammed by finger down in milliseconds for book 2. Going right in 🤗.

not gonna lie, i read this book bc i saw it in a facebook group being described that all the males were himbos 🤣
would i describe them all as himbos? no, that would just be Sean 🤣 but they’re def all frat bros. and just bc Sean, Killian, Rowan, and Micah are frat bros, doesn’t mean they’re not going to rip apart anyone who threatens their mate, Regina.
this book definitely sets up the world and major players and the fight that is to come. it also just begins to introduce the relationship between Regina and the guys. there hasn’t been time yet for individual relationship development, just group. and a lot of it is told and you don’t see the actual conversations. so i am hoping for more in the next book. i am not sure how many books will be in the series, but intrigued to see how things go.

I feel like my original rating was altered... is that a thing?? while I did really like this book, a lot more than I thought I would, I am very stingy with my 5 stars (side eye), but I would definitely give this 4 stars. It was surprisingly good.

After being recommended this by multiple people, I'm giving it a go now that I know the series is almost complete. The book was a fast read - 300+ pages but it really flew past. It takes quite a long time for the main characters to properly meet, but it didn't drag.
The MMCs are immediately likeable, although I did find it hard to remember which was which. They're super competitive about who can please the FMC the most, argue over who gets to carry her bag, compete over who can make the best dinner. It's very cute.
There is a sex scene near the end which felt very out of the blue. The FMC is still very guarded but is suddenly fine with a four-way. Also I thought it was really weird that the fourth MMC wasn't included. I would have liked a bit more sexual tension and build up before full on sex. I will be trying book 2.

There is so much funny shit with these himbo frat wolf guys. I just laughed so much at their shenanigans.
It’s a solid series and I like the plot. Writing is pretty decent too.

Ridiculously Amazing
I knew what I was getting into, the blurb didn’t lie. What I didn’t expect was such a deep story that I could get lost in. I thought it was going to be a fun ride, and now I’m anxiously awaiting the next book to see what happens!

I went into this a little skeptical. I didn’t love the title, but the blurb captured my attention. I ended up really enjoying the story! It’s fast paced and fun, there are a couple really funny moments. There is one sex scene in the book, but it’s a period sex scene and I’m not really a fan of those. The ending of the book isn’t a cliffhanger but it IS very abrupt. It felt like there should have been a little more at the ending. Luckily the next book is supposed to come out soon. The plot is a little flimsy but I think the author laid the ground work for a few different things to expand on. Mostly this was just a fun read if you’re not looking for anything super serious.

The solitary sex scene didn’t really do it for me, and the guys’ chapters were kinda blending together, aside from maybe Rowan. I know they’re really similar because they’re all alphas and all in the same pack, but I did struggle to differentiate their personalities at first, and I still kinda do even after finishing. Hoping that gets remedied in the next installment though.
Will I continue? Eh, honestly not sure. Maybe if enough people say questions get answered in the next book; otherwise, I’m content with having given this a chance. Imo, I expected more lighthearted banter or funny himbo moments, and was instead met with lots of frat guy sex jokes and men whining that they’re horny.

Decent and Intriguing
My Synopsis and potential spoilers
Starts off with Regina boarding a train station, on the run from her old coven. Shes ran a full 3 days with no rest and her ex, the leader of her old coven, was found pumping into his secretary of sorts. Regina is a syphon, someone to basically amplify the magic’s of her coven casting. She can only absorb other people’s magic to recharge, and she can only do that by being bonded to a group of magic users. Kyle her ex old coven leader had his buddy find her at the station just as the train was leaving. Thats when she got a text message from an unknown number, she knows it’s Kyle from the threat of coming after her if she doesn’t show her face in 24 hours. Basically it counts down with his newer texts coming in. Regina lands at the academy town, gets a hostel then heads to a coffee shop the next morning. Pans to the a group of wolves in a fraternity who are threatened fo be expelled and forcibly disbanded then termed lone wolf (by the council) if they don’t bond with a witch. Micah contacts his step sister to cast a spell to help them find their mate. They show up at the coffee cafe and lay eyes on Regina at the same time her ex and his goons show up. Regina runs, and everyone runs after her. She’s drawn to the wolf’s dorm which is where the show down happened. The only saving grace was one of the wolves professors shows up, saving her from them all. Regina is deathly afraid of shifters due to her history of being mauled by one. I’m unsure if she knew a were wolf vs wolf shifter were different. The wolf boys instantly know the scar on her face was made by a werewolf. They turn into killing machines when the shift, where a wolf shifter is completely present with their inner wolf and are aware and can control their instincts. Regina originally went to the vampires to bond with them but they rejected her after seeing her facial scar. Professor Villeneuve walking into the scene with Regina ex coven and ex bf are having a show down with Micah, Killian and Rowan. The guys claim she’s their mate while the ex coven leader Kyle claims she’s their 13th witch which is a high coveted position (usually means more powerful than any of them). Professor Villeneuve gives her a choice. Leave with her ex coven (Kyle’s arm gets bitten(By Killian the pack leader) off and they rush off to a hospital minus an arm because professor Villeneuve made the grass and plants eat it) or the wolf shifters or himself. She chooses professor Villeneuve. He makes her feel safe by giving her options. The wolves follow them back to the professors house and isn’t allowed past the borders since he put up magical wards. Thankfully, the professor gives her a choice to talk with the wolves or stay with him. She chooses to talk to them and after speaking to them decides to give them a chance. She moves in with them, they head to get her stocked up in bathroom stuff, and house stuff since she ran from her coven with only a back pack. There was a few dirty scenes, there was talk of knots, and the mystical mate feelings they all felt. She thinks through their offer, and after witnessing how they act around her, gives them the chance to bond with her, as a witch, she’s holding off on the mate stuff for now. Basically the end is her speaking to Micah’s step sister, the witch that cast the spell to help find the guys mate. They click instantly, which gives Regina so much relief. She has a chance to get to know the guys without them putting up a front through the step sister. Regina has good reason not to trust wolves but so far she’s decided to give them a chance at mating with her on top of bonding as a witch so the guys can graduate from school and not be disbanded.

I received an eARC via BookSirens 💕
I'm leaving this review voluntarily and all opinions are my own.
oh. my. god. I had SO MUCH FUN with this book! 🤣
Regina is on the run from her coven, who have used and abused her, and needs to find a replacement STAT. As a siphon witch, she needs a magical group to draw energy from or she'll shrivel and eventually die. Problem is, her (now former) coven was prestigious, and finding a group willing to face them isn't exactly easy, ESPECIALLY with said coven still hunting her. When she runs into a pack of shifters she's terrified, although they attempt to fight off the coven. Shifters (particularly wolves) are dangerous and unpredictable, but they might be her only option. Stuck between a rock and a hard place, Regina needs to make a choice. Go back to a coven where she'll surely meet more abuse, or try to stand up for herself amongst wolves...
Given Regina's past encounter with a werewolf, it's understandable that she'd rather bond with ANY other magical group than them. She has never been truly adored but and absolutely struggles to accept the boys doting over her. She doesn't trust them, although she desperately wants to believe someone (three someones!) could actually want her for her and not just for her powers. 🥹
For a short book this has a crazy lot of plot (the mystery around Villeneuve has me at the edge of my seat)! It's fast paced, sweet & spicy, and SO fun. (My ideal book, really.) These wolves are adorable dorks, but they worship the ground Regina walks on and I CANNOT wait to see her reach her full potential as the series continues! 👀
This series will be right down your alley if you liked Psycho Shifters by Jasmine Mas. 😈
These boys are a lot sweeter than Jasmine's shifters are, but overall it's a similar vibe and humor.

"You've had precious few allies in your life, haven't you?" His voice is softer now, almost gentle. I look away, uncomfortable with his perception. "I manage." "Yes," he says thoughtfully. "You strike me as someone who has always managed, no matter the cost. Perhaps now you might consider the novel concept of thriving, not just surviving."

This actually came out more as a 4.25/5 stars for me, but I'll gladly round up this time.
I enjoyed "Do You Even Hex, Bro?" so freaking much. Regina has so much potential and I can't wait to see her grow into it. The MMCs - Killian, Sean, Micah, and Rowan - did initially come off as interchangeable, but they came a little more independent of each other as characters by the time I hit the halfway mark.
Other positives:
👍 The scene where the guys were building a nest around Regina while she slept (pretty sure this will live rent free in my head now for the sneaky caretaking)
👍 The Twilight Market - I want more of this!
👍 Villeneuve - yeah, I said it. This guy intrigues me so much and I can't wait to see where this goes.
👍 Sean giving Regina the nickname witchy woman. Maybe I'm tired of the "little xyz" pet names, but I loved this.
👍 The humor. Ah, this hit so perfectly. Here are some of my favorite moments:
And this one:
Some things that didn't quite work for me:
- I would have liked the relationships to be introduced sooner. I think it was around the 40% mark when it really started to get going between Regina and the wolves. I can understand why all the build up was needed and I don't think it should have been skipped out on. I'm just impatient when it comes to the MCs meeting and connecting.
- The book was pitched as the MMCs being himbos, but I really only get that vibe from Sean. Frat bros, sure. So it's a little disappointing that they're all not himbos. I was really looking forward to that.
A heads up: While this book doesn't really end on a cliffhanger, it's definitely a To Be Continued situation. Not everything is quite settled and there's definitely more to explore.
Final verdict: Pick this one up! I'm heading off now to preorder the second book because I really can't wait for more.

Micah blinks. "I thought you meant because it sounds like villain."
I throw up my hands. "That, too!"
And this one:
"I have an IUD. It's okay," I pant.
Sean freezes. "Do we uh, need to call the bomb squad?"

I actually really enjoyed this book. And I know that’s a complete personal opinion because I’m sure there are people that might not feel the same about this book.
But it was written very well. The author even uses some big words, I know shocker.
There was just a lot for me personally that was extremely likable. And I didn’t feel like the men were major man whores, or himbo’s. That was something that some people were complaining about in the comments.
Sure, the author alluded to them being promiscuous. But I mean they’re in college and they’re wolf shifter so that’s not really shocking and it didn’t bother me at all especially cause it wasn’t really on page and there was no OW.
And I actually like that Sean was a bit of an airhead. He had me laughing so much. I just love people that can just fully be themselves and not care even if they are a little bit of an idiot. I thought it was endearing.
All in all, I enjoyed the book a lot and that’s what’s important to me and I’m looking forward to the next one. I feel like the series has potential, but we’ll have to see as it progresses.
And another thing that someone was commenting on in the comments was the period sex. I’m not gonna yuck anyone’s Yum. Even though period Cunnilingus would be the last thing I would ever wanna do. But these are wolf shifters and this is a fantasy book so I wasn’t really bothered or grossed out about it too much to be honest. Sometimes you have to take things with a grain of salt. And not make a big deal out of everything.
But it was written very well. The author even uses some big words, I know shocker.
There was just a lot for me personally that was extremely likable. And I didn’t feel like the men were major man whores, or himbo’s. That was something that some people were complaining about in the comments.
Sure, the author alluded to them being promiscuous. But I mean they’re in college and they’re wolf shifter so that’s not really shocking and it didn’t bother me at all especially cause it wasn’t really on page and there was no OW.
And I actually like that Sean was a bit of an airhead. He had me laughing so much. I just love people that can just fully be themselves and not care even if they are a little bit of an idiot. I thought it was endearing.

DO YOU EVEN HEX BRO is absolutely, hands down, one of the funniest, most entertaining books I’ve read in a long time. Killian, Rowan, Micah, and Sean, are truly textbook ‘Himbos’ when they meet Regina. She is decidedly anti-wolf. Both present comedic and dramatic layers, respectively. The part I love most of DO YOU EVEN HEX BRO, is watching Regina and her boys evolve. I have to say, Micah deserves a special treat in book 2 😉 I can’t wait to read it! Good Stuff 🖤 Ferally Fun.

Regina is a witch with extremely rare powers… who's running from a big mistake. The coven she joined wasn't what she thought and her controlling jerk of an ex is even worse. But leaving the coven behind and breaking ties is not as easy as she hoped. Enter Killian, Rowan, Micah, and Sean - 4 alpha wolf shifters who'll do anything fit her. The question is… can she trust in something new?
A really good read. The characters are intriguing and their antics had me cracking up. Can't wait for more!

Do you even hex, bro? was not the book I was expecting it to be and I was glad it wasn't. Witch Regina is running from her Coven and her Ex boyfriend. Only to land at a Supernatural University and the Lupe Tau Fraternity - Micah, Killian, Rowan and Sean. A group of Wolves that definitely brought on all the fun and some laughs too. I really enjoyed reading this first book in this series and I'm looking forward to the next book now.

Vibes: 4⭐
Plot: 3.5⭐
Characters: 3.75⭐
Spice: 🌶️🌶️
This is a fun, very easy, quick read. I almost DNF'd it at the beginning because it wasn't hooking me in, but after about 50 pages it got better.
It's not deep, and the world is complex and not clear. But the characters are entertaining. The end is just like the end of a chapter so a bit abrupt. It feels like it stopped in the middle of it all.

Not bad.
Not great.
Had a lot of issues… (pacing, repetitive phrasing, inconsistencies, the one random and kinda abrupt spice scene [really went from 0 to a 100 there lmao], and weird ending to the book [no climax, resolution, aftermath..? Felt more like the middle of an act.])
BUT HEY tbh I just wanted a super low pressure, easy, silly, and entertaining read… and thats exactly what I got😌
So wtv, i had fun and will continue the series

3.5 ⭐️
Hey, was this peak literature? Nope. But I enjoyed every bit of it! 🤭
Our himbos are adorable, especially Sean, bless him 🥰 They're so genuine and sincere, it's hard not to like them. The plot was simple but the I loved the wit in this 😂 They're so dumbbbb.Our FMC has been hurt but I'm glad she's not rejecting them and giving them a proper chance.
It remains to be seen if I will pick up the next book but this was fun 💗

Really good
Don’t let the name fool you, this is a really good, nuanced and well rounded story with a damaged and vulnerable witch learning to trust the 4 wolves who are her mates against all odds. Action packed well paced well written fun and funny with a surprising depth.
