funny
lighthearted
slow-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated

**Thank you to NetGalley and Bacchanalia House for the ARC in exchange for my honest opinion.**
Oh this book… I enjoyed it quite a bit in the beginning. It felt fresh and tongue in cheek. I liked Winnnie and Alaric. But the longer it went on (and oh gosh was it long) the more convoluted it felt. I didn’t realize this book was a spin off from a previous series that had a very large cast, so when there was suddenly 8+ additional characters introduced with complex backgrounds introduced they were hard for me to keep track of. I wish Fangs for Nothing had been paired down to just the fake dating storyline because that’s where it shined. Everything else just weighed it down and drew it out. There was just too much going on by the end and I found myself less and less invested as the chapters wore on… Sadly, I do not think it is a series I will be returning to.
