Between the adorable cover and the description, I thought this book was going to be perfect for me. Unfortunately I truly hated the prologue and that quickly lowered my expectations. It was going to be really hard to like Seth after that and I really didn’t end up loving his character as the story went on.

There was so much fat shaming in this book and I did not love it. While there were definitely aspects of this book I did think were good, they were overshadowed by the immature characters/dialogue and fat shaming,

This one was a let down. I feel like 1/3 of the book was how much Seth and Cass hated each other and the other 2/3 was werewolf smut. IT felt like there was just things randomly added in to break up the smut, but it felt like the book lost the plot.

The tagline for this is 'What We Do in the Shadows meets Gilmore Girls,' -- WHO COULD SAY NO TO THAT!

Problem? Blatant fat shaming. This is one of my biggest pet peeves in reading and LIFE!

The writing style was also very different. It seems to be very hit or miss with other readers. It was tolerable but not my favorite.

Charlotte Stein has this different writing style that makes my brain so happy and always beats back reading slumps. It was cute, sexy, funny, and everything I wanted and more in a paranormal romcom. Best friends to enemies to awkward friends to "we have to have sex FOR REASONS." Bloody fantastic, 10/10. No Notes. Everyone needs to check it out this fall.

This is a delightful, light, and fluffy supernatural romance. Cassie is returning to her hometown to take care of her beloved grandmother's affairs. She's been away for a decade, in part because she was brutally betrayed by her best friend, Seth, during their senior year. So who should she find breaking into her grandmother's house? Seth. And that's only the start of the weirdness. He reveals that he's a werewolf, and that she's a witch, a powerful one at that, and she can help him. Then comes the mating bond.
It was a lot of fun. The dialogue is ridiculous, in that they have the great and stupid banter that only really good friends end up with after ages of friendship. The magic system is wonderful. It's described as like What We Do in the Shadows, and that's a good comparison. It's a bit silly, and just a lot of fun. There's also a sentient microwave and a raccoon son. Those were my favorite side characters. As a whole, a really fun read.

I loved this!

So cute. Perfect for around Halloween time! Friends-to-enemies-to-friends-to-lovers is so good and the chemistry between these two is adorable! Making it a shifter/witch romance was just icing on the cake.

I loved the characters, loved their connection, and the growth they each make. 10/10 absolutely go read it!

I enjoyed this one. It's great for spooky season that is just around the corner. Cassandra and Seth were best friends before Seth left her behind for the cool crowd and then becomes her bully. It's not a bully romance though. He very clearly immediately regrets what he does but she was having none of it. Fast forward a decade and she is back at her grandmother's house to clean it out. Seth shows up on the front porch acting strange, looking for her grandma. From there, they start to tenuously rebuild their friendship as she discovers the magic in her and around her. The first half is really cozy and sweet as they reconnect. I loved it. It's in the second half that it started to lose me just a little. It's a tonal shift from sweet and cozy into them both basically becoming the horniest two people ever. Don't get me wrong, I love smut and dirty talk. It just got to be ridiculous that these two couldn't talk about how they were feeling and figure things out more quickly. It got old. They came off like horny, idiotic teenagers with no communication skills whatsoever instead of adults. I could see the revelations at the end coming a mile away, I knew why he acted the way he did and it was just frustrating that they were so scared and couldn't see it themselves. While I understood why he acted the way he did, it was still a weak excuse for doing it. If these two were as close as they claimed to be, it should have been obvious, even with their hang ups.

I still devoured it though, and overall it was a really fun time!

The cover and blurb called out to me, so I grabbed this in an instant. But ended up falling a little bit short for me. It leaned on the tropes a little bit too much for me. And what the FMC endured during high school, I think I would have been happy moving on with my life away from the MMC. However, by the end, I was elated they finally got to be together.

The characters came off a lot younger than they were supposed to be and was hoping they didn't rely on the miscommunication for majority of the story.

Totally bummed this didn't work out for me as much.

I have been sitting on this review for an unreasonable amount of time because I needed time to make my brain stop screaming incoherently about how much I LOVED THIS BOOK.

It’s Never Sweeter’s paranormal spiritual successor in a way that I didn’t know was a) possible and b) every single thing I needed to read in a book. It’s sweet, silly, wondrous, imaginative, utterly deranged and filthy, and a warm cuppa on a cold night kind of read.

I unfortunately was not able to make it through this book. It was a bit too repetitive for me and way too wordy. I got to about 30%. I do think this book has a lot of potential and I know there is an audience for it, it just wasn't for me, though I did find myself giggling at the FMC's inner monologue.

Thank you NetGalley and publisher for this audio!!

What a great book! I enjoyed this a lot more than I thought I would. A great story line. Writing style is great! I loved the characters and they had such good chemistry! Such a fun and easy read!!

How to Help a Hungry Werewolf by Charlotte Stein is a sizzling romance novel filled with unexpected twists that will left me guessing. This book is perfect for fans of romance who enjoy a combination of passion and tenderness.

This is the best werewolf book I've ever read. From the very first chapter, the intense chemistry between the main characters is undeniable, and the magic is completely delightful. Cassie's journey into learning about magic is filled with the exact right combination of bewilderment and joy--she feels exactly how you would feel if you found out magic was real! Her friendship with Seth is beyond perfect--Seth is sweet and tender and charming and a bit of a himbo. He is absolutely a hero to root for, which is saying something considering how he is introduced in the book! I love Cassie, I love Seth, I want the world for them! The pining is so good, the yearning is so good, the hurt is so good--IT'S ALL SO GOOD. Charlotte Stein has absolutely hit her stride, and I am beyond thrilled that this book is the first in a series rather than a standalone because I cannot get enough of it.

This was a DNF for me. The description sounded promising but it fell flat. I could not connect with the characters.

I appreciate the opportunity to read and review this book. I couldn’t connect with the characters and didn’t like the fat shaming by the MMC. This was a DNF for me.

SO STINKIN' CUTE! I LOVE a good second-chance romance/friends to lovers vibe and this one was chef's kiss! The paranormal aspect of this story was beyond cool and well thought out too! I loved everything about the characters! Seth was the perfect precious Golden Retriever (Werewolf ◡̈ ). Cassie's journey with her body image and perception of herself and how other's see her was very well written and done with care. ◡̈
This book was funny, adorably fluffy, and perfectly spicy. Although... maybe could have used some knotting. Lol. LOVED IT!

DNF'd @ 20%. I really could not get over the fact that he bullied her and fatshamed her in high school. I didnt connect with the character enough to be happy for any sort of redemption arc. Not for me, sorry!

It's a cute and quirky book... but not what I thought it would be. I thought it would be a wolf shifter romance, but it was an actual werewolf. Like the get bit, and change, turn into a monster kind. But it's cute.

Just okay.
I didn’t really feel any connection to the main characters and I honestly didn’t care about the romance.
The book starts off with the mmc fat shaming the heroine, and it just didn’t sit right with me.
Definitely disappointed that I didn’t enjoy this one.

I was initially really excited for this book. The premise seems really fun and I love a good paranormal romance. However, I could not get past the first chapter. The fat-shaming of our female main character by the male main character was completely unnecessary and totally turned me off to the book. I couldn’t get past it.

Thank you NetGalley and the publishers for the opportunity to read and review this book. However, this one was not for me.
