I really loved the third book in this series. The characters were well fleshed out and the steamy scenes were written very well. Plus I always enjoy a planned series that revisits characters from the same friend group or town. A fun read.

This was a quick and easy read! I absolutely loved the first book in this series so it was very exciting to receive this arc! I thought overall this was cute and it was fun being back in Glimmer Falls again!! Thank you so much for the arc!!

Thank you NetGalley and Berkeley for this copy! This was such a fun, cozy read. I didn’t realize that it was the third book in a series when I requested it, but that’s ok! I related to the MMC in so many ways, which was funny. There were elements of the writing that I felt could’ve been stronger, but I had an enjoyable reading experience nonetheless. A solid romcom! I’m looking forward to seeing how this author’s writing continues to develop!

Thank you to Netgalley and the Publishing Company for this Advanced Readers Copy of A Werewolf's Guide to Seducing a Vampire by Sarah Hawley!

When opposites attract is mixed with forced proximity, sparks fly. Again another good choice for a slightly different rom com. I already know that werewolves and vampires are like oil and water, but they are bound together by a spell they get the chance to really know one another.
Dual POVs make the reader all knowing. I really like when I get to know what both sides are thinking. In that will they won’t they moment, I get to see what is holding them back.
Not that I read a lot of fantasy romances, but this is might be one of the most unique ones I’ve read.
This was definitely an enchanting and cozy read.

Enjoyable (somehow didn't realize this was the third in the series, whoops) so I may go back and read the other two because I enjoyed what I saw of those characters too. I really dig the modern world that just happens to have a bunch of fantasy creatures, what can I say.

Perfect for the spooky season, which is all year, in my opinion, this fun romance touched on everything I love in a supernatural romance--secrets, sexy times, and characters who make me laugh and reflect.

Finally got around to finishing this one and I'm so glad I did as it was a wild ride from start to finish. In this book we follow Ben, the owner of the Annex and Mariel's boss a lone-wolf literally. After a few too many drinks he places an order for a crystal little did he know the crystal actually contained a vampire named Eleonore. Elenore has been trapped in the for hundreds of years and was only let out when someone needed murdering so safe to say she had quite the learning curve. It was really enjoyable to watch these two characters interact with each other and what a great ending to the Glimmer Fall series.
Thank you to netgalley and the publishers for providing me with an arc for an honest review.

This book was SO fun, I really enjoyed this. It’s a fun paranormal romance, such an easy read. I felt super immersed in the story and the characters, totally reccomend to anyone looking for a halloween ish romance!!

This was a surprisingly different read. I initially thought this was part of a series I had started, but after a bit, I realized it wasn’t. Instead, it was a so refreshingly different! A werewolf with anxiety, after a drunken night of online shopping, buys an enchanted crystal supposedly containing a “vampire succubus assassin. After all, the advertisement was so ridiculously written, it couldn’t be true! Oh, but what a surprise when it arrives and contains the most amazing vampire assassin ever! Sure, she’s a little bloodthirsty, and a bit out of time, and wants to disembowel the witch who trapped her for 600 hundred years in the crystal and made her her own personal assassin, but somehow, these two manage to coexist together.
A lot of things go on throughout their story, a mayoral race, experimental theater, knitting, plants, an eclectic mix of friends, trying to track down that elusive witch to break the curse trapping Eleanora to that stupid crystal,panic attacks…. This might’ve distracted from their burgeoning feelings for each other, but somehow it blended nicely.
I was really appreciative of the handling of mental health. Ben is anxious, prone to panic attacks, has nervous ticks, is endearingly emotional, and uncomfortable with public speaking. That he’s a massive man with everything you expect a werewolf to have, but so unlike most of the “alpha male” characteristics most werewolves in other stories portray, was just beautifully done. His social anxiety was handled with a deft hand, and I was so glad the author didn’t make Eleanora treat him as if he was something less than for it. Instead, they balanced each other in unexpected ways. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

In "A Werewolf's Guide to Seducing a Vampire," Sarah Hawley masterfully intertwines humor, fantasy, and romance in a tale that challenges traditional supernatural tropes. The story revolves around Ben Rosewood, a werewolf content in his chaotic but fulfilling life as the owner of Ben’s Plant Emporium. As he navigates the ins and outs of running a business, he carries the added burden of an anxiety disorder, exacerbated by his beastly transformations during the full moon. Despite his family's pressing desire for him to find love and settle down, Ben is comfortable embracing his single status as he approaches forty. However, his life takes an unexpected turn when a drunken eBay purchase leads him to a beautiful and vengeful vampire, Eleonore Bettencourt-Devereux. Eleonore's backstory is as intriguing as it is tragic. A vampire succubus of noble lineage, she has been trapped within a crystal for centuries, forced to follow orders from whoever possesses the enchanted item. This predicament stems from a curse cast by an evil witch, leaving Eleonore in a state of frustration and longing for freedom. Her character embodies a fierce independence and a burning desire for revenge against the witch who condemned her. The juxtaposition of Ben's relatively mundane life and Eleonore's dramatic, ancient plight serves as a delightful contrast that propels the narrative forward. As the two characters navigate their unusual circumstances, they quickly realize that their fates are intertwined. Ben's inexperience with romance and Eleonore's aggressive nature create a dynamic that is both comical and compelling. Their initial animosity gradually morphs into a partnership, as they discover they can help each other achieve their goals: Eleonore seeks freedom from her curse, while Ben yearns for a meaningful connection that transcends the human-werewolf divide. This collaboration adds depth to their characters and showcases the importance of teamwork in overcoming personal struggles. Moreover, Hawley’s writing is infused with wit, making the narrative not just an exploration of supernatural themes but also a reflection on love, companionship, and self-discovery. The dialogue is sharp and humorous, contrasting the characters' serious predicaments with lighthearted banter that keeps the reader engaged. As Ben and Eleonore embark on their quest, they encounter various challenges and humorous situations that reinforce the idea that love can blossom in the most unexpected places. In conclusion, "A Werewolf's Guide to Seducing a Vampire" is a delightful romp through the realms of fantasy and romance, inviting readers to reconsider the boundaries between different supernatural beings. Through the lens of Ben and Eleonore's evolving relationship, Hawley illustrates that companionship can arise from the unlikeliest of circumstances and that individuals can find strength in collaboration. This whimsical tale not only entertains but also imparts a valuable lesson about the power of connection, making it a must-read for fans of the genre.

I absolutely adored Sarah Hawley's writing! This was such a cozy paranormal romance-- one that I didn't know I would need. The sweet introvert MC x intimidating extrovert FC is a fun duo, especially when chaos ensues in Glimmer Falls.

This was so cute and fun! I laughed a bunch and rooted for literally everyone. My only critique is that it did run a little long, but I appreciated how light this was while having a robust world building. I'm excited to read more from Sarah Hawley.

It was nice, but nothing truly stood out. Also maybe just a tad too much spice for my taste. The book also felt too long. A bit of repetition that could’ve been edited out.

Ben, a werewolf, gets drunk at a wedding and orders a “succubus-vampire sexy rock” for 99 cents on eBay. What he doesn’t expect is for the rock to literally be the home for a 600 year old vampire/succubus and he is now her owner. While they are forced to spend so much time together, an attraction begins to form.
I really enjoyed this one. While book 1 is still my favorite in the series, this was a close 2nd. Eleanora was definitely my favorite character and her antics had me giggling out loud. Her struggles with the modern world and her performances especially had me laughing. I also loved that the couples from the previous books played such a prominent role in the story and we really could see a strong connection between all the books in the series. The meet-cute in this was completely bananas and made for such a fun start. While this book has hilarious moments it also handles more serious topics such as consent and mental health beautifully. If you haven’t read the Glimmer Falls series, do it!
Thank you to Berkley Publishing and NetGalley for the advanced copy.

This book kept me laughing. I have enjoyed this series each one keeps me up late reading til midnight!!!

This was cute. I read some of it and also listened to the audiobook a little. Ben is the cutest and so is Eleanor with him. This is an entertaining series and have been liking all the books so far!

Thank you to NetGalley and Berkley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review

-m/f paranormal romance

-small town
-hard and soft one
-found family
Paranormal small town, with just the sweetest romance. Ben has been taking care of his family for so long he doesn't even know how to let someone take care of him. Eleonore has been trapped by an evil witch and ends up with the sweetest softest werewolf. How they both took care of each other, how they saved each other. Getting to see favorite characters from books past. I had so much fun reading this one.

A paranormal romance between a werewolf that frees a vampire succubus from a crystal she's been stuck in thanks to an evil witch.
A Werewolf's Guide to Seducing a Vampire is book 3 in Sarah Hawley's Glimmer Falls series. I loved Ben, he's so gentle and steady and sweet. So much so that he doesn't like it when he turns into a werewolf and feels like he isn't control. Eleanor was angry and a bit chaotic, especially having spent so much time secluded in the crystal. I adored her fire and how Ben was committed to helping her gain her true freedom. Their chemistry, over time, was steamy but it was the care and gentleness with which they treated each other that won me over.

Werewolf softie becomes accidentally bound to a vampire succubus. While trying to figure out how to break a curse, why not fall in love? A lovely read and great addition to the series!
