My Thoughts
I wasn’t sure I was going to like EXTRA WITCHY as much because I wasn’t really interested in Leanne’s character in the previous two books. However, she and Trevor really surprised me. Their story ended up being my favorite. I loved both the premise and the execution. (I really loved the Futurama misquote scene. It made me so happy.)
I loved that Trevor called Leanne “butterfly.” It melted my heart each time he said it. I related a lot to Trevor. I’m glad getting out of his parents’ basement and away from his family’s toxicity helped him heal. I’m glad Leanne helped get him on that path and that his life became more fulfilling.
I really enjoyed seeing more of the politics in the witch world. I was so happy that Leanne campaigned for witches to come out in the open and that she and Danica were finally able to tell Trevor and Titus who they really were. I loved that Titus had already guessed and that all the major problems in the world made the news not very newsworthy, lol.

I liked FANGIRL DOWN so much better than CHASE ME. I felt like there was so much more heart in this story. I loved the premise and characters a lot. I loved how Wells’ life changed after he let Josephine in. I also loved that he called her Belle because of her sign. I’m glad Josephine was able to feel like she was still strong and capable even though she let Wells in. I’m excited to read Burgess and Tallulah’s story next.

BRIDE was such a fun take on the paranormal romance genre. I loved Hazelwood’s lore regarding vampyres and weres (although the whole knot thing was kind of weird in a fascinating way). I really enjoyed the politics and suspense. I loved Misery and Lowe, their chemistry, sexual tension, and bantering.

I adored SOMETHING WILDER. I thought it was a fun adventurous, suspenseful, and mildly spicy romance. I loved both Lily and Leo. I loved their stories and that they got a second chance to be together. I thought it was fun that the story was set in my home state. I think this is my favorite Christina Lauren book I’ve read so far.

Okay so, I really liked the story. I liked the concept and the characters. I even liked the writing. I was sad that there was no epilogue, but I could look past that. The audio really ruined CHASE ME, in my opinion. It was excruciatingly torturous listening to the male narrator. The female narrator wasn’t that bad, but the male narrator completely killed the vibe and brought the whole thing down. I’ll still probably read the other two books in the series, but I won’t be listening to the audio (unless it’s the original version with a completely different narrator).
