Cassie moves into her grandmother’s home after her passing, which is when she finds her former best friend turned bully, Seth, trying to break in. Turns out he’s a werewolf, she’s a witch, and they both can’t keep their hands off each other. 

I wasn’t totally into this book. At first I just didn’t love Seth’s version of a werewolf (more monster/creature, less wolf shifter), but then I just couldn’t get into the characters. I just didn’t vibe with them and it made it hard for me to get into the story. 

I also wasn’t expecting the plot to mainly be horniness. I thought there would be more issues with the Jerks (group of bullies) or something bigger but honestly the main storyline was dealing with the horniness. 

If you’re looking for something that’s pretty much all spicy scenes in the second half, you can give this one a try. It just wasn’t quite for me. There was too much I wanted more of - Seth apologizing, more grandmother stories/background/investigating, actual villains and not just high school bullies turned adults. 

Thank you to NetGalley and St Martin’s Press for a chance to read and review this ARC.
