Another fun book from Kimberly Lemming! I enjoyed this one a bit more than the first book in the series because the dialogue was nowhere near as cringey and the story itself was more cohesive. Also, I related more to the main character.
In this second book, Brie (my favorite cheese btw), is being hounded by a man she has no interest in (every woman can relate to this). He tries something egregious and desperate to force her to be with him and her reaction changes everything. Brie yeets a love potion that hits a werewolf named Felix, causing him to imprint on her immediately. Or does he? Brie has two weeks before the potion wears off to find out if Felix is her soulmate or just drugged.
Not gonna lie, I am TERRIFIED of werewolves. I’ve skipped a lot of films because werewolves were present and I find them to be absolutely horrifying. Brie’s feelings about Felix were conflicted cuz on one hand, he’s hot and protective and wants to make her happy. On the other, he’s a werewolf that can rip the arms off of anyone he deems an enemy. But Brie handles it much better than I would have.
The author’s writing in this book is much better than the first and I actually got a little emotional reading it. Brie is more relatable because she’s like a lot of us who have our walls up to protect ourselves. Although Felix does any and everything to show his love is genuine, Brie fights it because she doesn’t believe she deserves his love. She keeps those walls up for as long as she can, but Felix is stubborn in a great way.
Of course, the author turned up the spice in this second book. She gave readers the kind of spice we didn’t know could be written (at least I didn’t). Let’s just say I was glad to be home when I read them. I loved the chemistry between Brie and Felix. It felt very real and not forced.
I definitely want to read the next book in the series to see what’s next for the citizens of Boohail and who will be lucky enough to fall in love.
