panFor the cover alone, I‘ve been saving this used bookstore find for reading on actual Halloween! Unfortunately, the cover is the best part of this very 90s horror novel. With gore, absolutely cringingly awful sex scenes & wooden characters who so nonchalantly accept the supernatural & never really discuss anything, this is a slog to get through. Never delivering any real chills or thrills, I guess I‘ll be using this as a decoration moving forward!

pick4.5/5
Cass has returned home and finds more than she expected when her ex-best friend, Seth, turns into a werewolf and it turns out that Cass is a witch. Cass has to figure out the supernatural world and her feelings for Seth.
I found the communication issues very frustrating. This book had so much going on, and while I loved it, I wish I had gotten to learn more about the town, the side characters, and the magic of this world.
bailedI loved Charlotte Stein‘s When Grumpy Met Sunshine and forthcoming My Big Fat Fake Marriage, even though I‘m more of a fantasy reader, so I really didn‘t want to give up on this one but 30% in, I cannot forgive the love interest for the fatphobic high school prank he pulled on the heroine in the opening chapter and it‘s taking too long to get a reason to forgive him, for me. I think the book‘s tone is a mismatch for how I took the incident.
pickA very graphic werewolf novel. We have time to get to know the characters before everyone's life is ripped apart by a werewolf attack. Some people are killed, some survive, and some become werewolves. This becomes incredibly graphic at times but there was never a boring moment. I also approved of the ending. 4.5 stars
pick‘What is she really—human or beast? Which tastes sweeter—blood or chocolate?‘
I read this once a while back after seeing the movie. I remember being disappointed because it was nothing like the film. It‘s been a while so I couldn‘t remember it too well. I really enjoyed this reread of it. I wouldn‘t mind checking out the author‘s other books.

Not read many werewolf books so I was too intrigued to turn these down
