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. 🤷🏻‍♀️

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! 🌕🐺

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.
