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!

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!

5 Stars

Surprisingly, it is my favorite in the series!

Just when I don't think I'll love the next one more, Sarah hits us with an amazing witchy romance that sucks you right in. I've been so excited for a return to Glimmer Falls (one of the most cozy and spooky of the paranormal book towns to exist), and even more excited for Ben's story, so to find out WE GET A SUCCUBUS WHO HAS BEEN TRAPPED AS A GENIE FOR CENTURIES AND SHE COMES OUT AND NEEDS HIS PROTECTION OMGGGGGGGGG Swoon.

This was perfect and I am obsessed with this couple. I could not stop reading and honestly would NOT complain if I got to read more of their story later. PLEASE.

"A Werewolf's Guide to Seducing a Vampire" by Sarah Hawley is a playful and cheeky romp through the world of supernatural romance. The witty banter and sizzling chemistry between the leads create a delightful tension that keeps readers hooked. Hawley expertly blends humor with sharp insights into love and identity, making the characters both relatable and memorable. The unique premise and imaginative twists add an enjoyable freshness to the genre. Overall, this book is a fun escape that will leave you eagerly anticipating the next adventure in this enchanting world.

This was an adorable opposites attract romance. Ben and Eleanora were the perfect match, they balanced each other so well. This romance was sweet but I can't say much more about it. If you're looking for a low stakes, cozy romance I would recommend.

Five Barbie Girl interpretive dance stars!

A Werewolf’s Guide to Seducing a Vampire is my favorite installment of the Glimmer Falls series. All of these books are so fun, but this one hit extra hard for me. Excellent humor, perfect spice and character tension, all while being cozy and sweet at the same time.

Ben!! My love!! And Eleanore, the feisty half succubus of my dreams. I adore them both, all of their friends, and every shenanigan they get into.

Thank you NetGalley, Sarah Hawley, and Berkeley for an ARC in exchange for my honest, voluntary review! All thoughts and opinions are my own ❤️

A Werewolf's Guide to Seducing a Vampire is the third book in the Glimmer Falls series, and though it did not quite live up to the first book in the series, it far surpassed the second. Ben as a character was so easy to love. He felt fleshed out and real, and I loved being in his head. I had already loved his character, from cameos in the first book, and so I was excited to read from his POV--and it did not disappoint! Eleonore, in comparison, felt a little flat. She was interested, but her characterization never quite felt grounded to me. That didn't stop her and Ben from having palpable chemistry, however. I enjoyed watching the two together, and I think a spitfire like Eleonore was just what Ben needs. This was a solid conclusion to the trilogy, and I look forward to Hawley's next work.

The perfect edition to my spooky season tbr! This book was so cute and the vibes were definitely there. I found it a bit cheesy at times though, it was cute but not super impactful or lifechanging but i still had a good time!

I was given access to this arc to read thanks to NetGalley. A fun romantasy. Great read. Would read more by this author.

I Loved returning to Glimmer falls and following another cute fantastical love story. Self-deprecating werewolf Ben who owns the local Plant emporium is expanding into a cafe/musical stage area of his business and one night while browsing ebay for crystals and pretty rocks to set off the aesthetics in the cafe he buys a plastic rock containing a very angry assassin vampire succubus named Eleanora. Ben struggles with anxiety and Eleanora struggles with trust especially since Ben now can command her to murder his enemies if he wishes to. But watching her care for him during his panic attacks and while he overextends himself with the business and his family / friends helps her to be comfortable trusting him. He gives her a home and someone to rely on. I really enjoyed this very funny heartwarming couple.

I really enjoyed this. I love a super natural modern day story and this was perfect. I liked how the typical gender roles were swapped, it definitely made it more interesting. Also, who wouldn't want a giant, emotionally intelligent werewolf who wears sweater vests? It's funny, cute, romantic and has the perfect amount of spice!

A must read during spooky season! The TAIL as old as time, love story between a werewolf and a vampire succubus! Sarah’s Glimmer Falls series has been amazing and this third book is the perfect addition. Get ready to Fall in love with Ben. 🐺

3.5 stars
the Glimmer Falls romance saga continues, this time it's about Ben the werewolf, the owner of the flower shop where Mariel works. his dating life for the past few years was almost nonexistent since he's too busy with his works and other things, even though his family keep asking about a girlfriend. one day he was badly drunk and he ordered a stone that was advertised as a vampire/succubus that can be anything and do anything you want. a few days later that stone arrived and sure enough, it contained a redhead woman with fangs named Eleonore.

Eleonore was a mood, she's spent too long on that damn stone, she has no idea about modern day customs. Ben wasn't your usual fierce werewolf, he's softhearted and didn't enjoy his monthly transition as a wolf. Ben's little sister, Gigi, was running a mayoral campaign against Calladia's evil mother. of course there's Mariel, Oz, Calladia, Astaroth, and Themmie too. but overall the plot was... okay? sometimes i was bored but i managed to finish it because of Eleonore keep being amusing. the plot nearing the resolution felt a little off to me. but ok. if there'll be another book about Themmie, i'll still read it though.

Tis the season for paranormal romance! There is something about picking up a werewolf romance right as the leaves are turning. A Werewolf’s Guide To Seducing A Vampire by Sarah Hawley is the third in the Glimmer Falls series. Disclaimer: I have not read the first two books yet. However, the context is easy to figure out and I wasn’t too lost while reading. This was a mostly cute book with some heavier themes and some interesting mental health representation of anxiety and trauma.

A Werewolf’s Guide To Seducing A Vampire opens up with Ben Rosewood, a werewolf, attending the wedding of characters from a previous book in the series. Ben is lonely and when he gets up he orders a plastic crystal while under the influence, from eBay for $0.99, Inside the crystal is a vampire succubus named Eleonore who is cursed to obey the commands of the person who owns the crystal. When the crystal and Eleonore arrive at Ben’s house,Eleonore is like a spitting mad cat. However, Ben is a super genuinely nice guy. He is, however, quite attracted to Eleonore and vice versa. Ben and Eleonore team up to find the witch who trapped her so Eleonore can get her revenge. At the same time, we learn that Ben’s sister has decided to run for mayor of Glimmer Falls and also, Ben is expanding his business.

I think my reading experience of Sarah Hawley’s A Werewolf’s Guide To Seducing A Vampire was really impacted by me having COVID while reading it. I just had a hard time caring. It felt like the characterization was a little shoehorned. I also would start getting into how the relationship was unraveling and how the plot was moving forward when the book would get weirdly spicy. It totally took me out of the story and just did not seem natural. However, maybe I was being nitpicky because I was so sick when I picked this up. I am going to give Hawley’s Glimmer Falls another shot and read the others in the series. I do think this is worth picking up for a semi-spicy autumnal read — particularly for those who want a paranormal romance.
