Reviews with content warning for Alcohol - That Time I Got Drunk and Yeeted a Love Potion at a Werewolf

Fun, but it was missing the narrative thrust of the previous book. I kept forgetting about the big conflict when there wasn't focus on it because it was treated more like a subplot.

I really love this series! This installment leans more into the absurdism of the world Lemming has created, making it less plot heavy than book one but much funnier. Still, it had some pretty good thematic work around consent, and the over-the-top-ness of it all really worked for me. It reminded me (in a very good way) of Discworld but with the added benefit of smut, and I was here for it. Overall, I do think I preferred book 1, but its a close thing, and I'm super excited for book 3 to come out later this year!

I stopped reading one of my current reads to pick this up because I had the strongest craving for Kimberly Lemming and I NEEDED to read this book.

The craving is satisfied and I was reminded, not that I forgot but still, how much I love this author, their writing style, this world, and these characters. It is SO MUCH FUN. I freaking loved it and I am absolutely going to pick up the last couple books soon because a new one is coming out soon.

The best magical, hilarious, sexy, quick, easy read. I bow down to the Queen that is Kimberly.

Ok first of, this was beautiful and stunning etc.
But. There are some parts of the world that do not make sense, mainly because the author seemed to have mixed some of our modern day elements into this story (which is very different and made it seem unfitting). I have to admit that that had its own charm (and very much added humor and such to the story), but i just wanted this to be noted.

also: did i just skip some parts or did the male main character just never confess his feelings / love?? He never says "i love you" to the FMC and sure, she ASSUMED, but no confirmation on his side.

And this is a personal preference i guess, but the constant presence of alcohol. They were talking about drinking, or drinking all the time it felt. In a similar way to modern day ppl having a beer or glass of wine after work to "wind down" as is they were not showcasing signs of addiction...

It was fun to see these characters interact again, but is heavily dependent on the previous knowledge in the first book, with not much else being expanded upon.

Unfortunately, I didn't end up liking this book as much as the first. It swings from silly to over-the-top sexual very fast. The plot that this book does have happens suddenly without many questions being asked, and feels quite surface-level.

Overall the writing style is fun and lighthearted, with cute characters and scenarios. Do not take this book seriously.

Back to Boohail we go! We know our heroines of Boohail love good food and good drinks, so our story rightfully kicks off at the tavern, where Brie is just trying to enjoy herself a drink when a local shmuck can't take no for an answer. When he brings her a drink (that we did not see prepared on page, red flag girl!) and she continues to give this lech a firm and resounding "N.O." and she tried to throw it in his face, he dodges and Brie beans poor, unsuspecting Felix in the back of the head with what turns out to be a love potion. Cue a "you're my mate" imprint compounded by the love potion. And Brie just wanted to go home in peace!

Turns out, ya girl is also a romance reader like the rest of us, with an appreciation for werewolf and other monster romances. Perfect timing, since Boohail just so happens to be awash with monsters from beyond the gates! Felix is adorable, goofy, and just wants to please his new mate. When magic fails to help them find a cure for the potion, and they've just got to let it wear off on it's own, he's willing to help Brie live out any and all of her romance novel fantasies as best he can. What a ~~gentleman~~ good werewolf.

Oh yeah, there's also a weird cult kidnapping local women? And creepy deer skull ghouls kidnapping these women for the cult. And in classic Kimberly Lemming style, our rag-tag adventurers save the day with lots of humor, boat loads of sarcasm, and enough reluctance to make them so, so relatable.
