I think this was great for what it was - a paranormal rom-com between a female witch and a male werewolf. Reading this as an audiobook was very fun so I would recommend, the time it took to listen didn't feel like long at all. The genre is also right up my ally, the only reason the rating for this is not higher is because I did find some elements of the book didn't make sense. For example, the FMC is obsessed with Marvel but she literally doesn't mention (until the last chapter, maybe even the epilogue), Venom and the parallels between Matteo's wolf dilemma and the inner voice of the marvel character - this was super surprising to me. I am intrigued that the author has set up book two and I am really excited to read it. I liked the spice, I was actually surprised it happened so late in the book but not a bad surprise. I thought the wolf - annoyingly called Alpha (like come on, anything else would work here) - was a funny characterisation and made for humorous inner monologue moments in Matteo's POV.  The other thing I didn't love was the answer to breaking the hex, that did make me roll my eyes a bit as it was so cliché. The epilogue was sweet but also seemed to skip what I thought could have been more developed writing on how Evie pursued her dream / got noticed. I would recommend this book though to friends asking me for a light, paranormal rom-com with spice, still going to read book two!
