Early Book Review: A Werewolf's Guide to Seducing a Vampire (Glimmer Falls) by Sarah Hawley

 A Werewolf's Guide to Seducing a Vampire by Sarah Hawley is currently scheduled for release on August 13 2024. It is the third book in the Glimmer Falls series. I did read the first book in the series, but somehow missed the second. The book can stand on its own, but I think returning readers will get more out of the experience.
Werewolf Ben Rosewood is happy with his life. His business, Ben’s Plant Emporium, is thriving, and he’s even expanding the shop. His anxiety disorder is…well, it’s been better, but that comes with the territory of running a business and having beastly urges every full moon, right? As for romance—who has the time? Though his family is desperate to see him settled, Ben is fine approaching forty as a single werewolf. But after drunkenly bidding on and winning a supposedly-possessed crystal on eBay one night, he finds himself face-to-face with a beautiful yet angry vampire. Eleonore Bettencourt-Devereux is a rare breed—a vampire succubus born from two elite European bloodlines during medieval times. Thanks to an evil witch, she’s been stuck in a crystal since she was thirty, forced to obey orders from the possessor of the rock. Eleonore's been dreaming of breaking the spell and severing the witch’s head for centuries. But did this witch really sell her to someone new, and for only ninety-nine cents? Eleonore would claw this werewolf’s heart out and eat it, if only the binding spell would allow her to. But Eleonore and Ben soon realize they can help each other with both vengeful and less hostile needs. And why not have a little fun along the way?

A Werewolf's Guide to Seducing a Vampire is a romances that has a little bit of everything. There is humor, stabbing, heat, and character development. Pretty much everything I look for in my paranormal romance. Ben and Eleonore have their issues, and I love that mental and emotional health issues are handled and discussed in a real and sensible way. They actually face them and acknowledge how the issues effect their thoughts and actions- and frankly I love that. Both Ben and Eleonore get character growth and their interactions are entertaining- vacillating between funny, heartfelt, and hot. I think that fans of the series and author will consider this a must read, and those that enjoy this subgenre will want to pick it up as well.
