I love the witchiness and the supernatural New Orleans setting, but the werewolf love interest is OTT with the dominance to the point of denying the female lead agency, rather than in a caring way.

I had to stop when
one werewolf saw his gf having a conversation (not flirting) with another guy and took her to the supply closet to fuck to "reassert dominance" and there were other people in the building who were aware of this, incl family members

Even the sassy, playgirl Savoie witch can't resist a chance at happily ever after, especially when she gets a second, or third!, chance. 

I feel like both main characters personalities got watered down. Violet wasn't nearly as sassy or bossy as she was in the other books, and Nico isn't as much a playboy singer-songwriter, rather misunderstood, artsy werewolf. 

Definitely ready to move on to the other sisters stories!

Ugh. Juliette Cross writes the SWOONIEST heroes! And I want to be best friends with every witch we’ve been introduced to so far. I loved Violet’s huge heart! What she hopes to do for the werewolves is incredible. Speaking of incredibly hot werewolves, Nico was the best! I’m really excited for Livvy’s book because I can’t wait to find out more about the grims. If I’m being totally honest, I am absolutely DYING for Jules and Ruben’s, and Clara and Henry’s books! They’ve been these steadily building background stories and I can’t wait for them to be front and center! If you couldn’t tell, I really like this series! Lol!

I don't know if I can say Witches get Stitches is my favorite  Stay A Spell book so far, but I can say, so far I'm a bigger fan of the werewolves than the vampires (no offense to Devraj!) First Mateo, now Nico, these werewolves (or maybe is just these Cruz men) are a good time. They got anymore cousins hiding back in Texas?

Violet's remark at the end of chapter 1 (or some early chapter) of "and I'll never see him again" was hilarious knowing what we knew as readers from Wolf Gone Wild, and seeing her and Nico dance around each other, fooling absolutely no one with the outrageous sexual tension radiating from them at all times (which Livvy or Clara points out at one point) is just comical. 

I appreciated Nico's recognition of Violet's need for independence. That if he came in too hard and fast (beyond the mind blowing oral on the rooftop when they first met), she'd only run away. The slow burn on that was a delicious pay off. And that was one lucky supply closet.

The pack dynamic was really interesting. I loved the social justice reparation approach Violet took with her enchanted tattoos. Not only helping her fellow Witches with their own magic, but helping Devraj with his moral conflict of being a vegetarian vampire, and the finally finding the best spell and placement to help werewolves better control their wolves.
Hearing Shane explain that they kidnapped Violet because they never thought she'd help them willingly was heartbreaking, but knowing how they've been treated by all of supernatural society until now made total sense. 

Also, TRIPLETS???? Poor Evie! But that's SO EXCITING! Now I'm dying for Walking in a Witchy Wonderland to maybe see Auntie Violet and Uncle Nico in action! But also, knowing Alpha, he's going to be borderline intolerably smug about getting Evie pregnant, with triplets, while she was on birth control. I also love Juliette's inclusion of condoms and birth control as part of each narrative. It's such a minor detail, but keeps the story so grounded in reality.


Can we also talk about the Blackwater boys????? I am dying to know more about the Grims!! How long until we get Clara out Livvy's stories with Henry and Gareth?? What CAN'T Grims do??
