Welcome to Litsy!

I started off not liking how ridiculous the premise seemed and then got sucked in and really enjoyed myself.

I started this ARC back in October & never finished it & wanted to get it off of my massive NetGalley ARC TBR. Ir was okay. I liked the main characters but I felt like the story was too convoluted & needed shortening & better editing. It had some sparks of humor (Pod the raccoon familiar & the sentient kitchen appliance‘s) but I require more & more snark in my paranormal romances. This one was too angsty. 🤷🏻‍♀️

For 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!

Normally I enjoy characters this rock stupid, but these two are a bit much

I‘m thinking the werewolf in this ARC on my #HauntedShelf TBR will #Howl at some point! 🌕🐺

I painted this statue to look like my pup, Zola, and I'm so happy with how it turned out! #LitsyCrafters

4.5/5

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.

I 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.
