This is my first paranormal romance (for grown-ups, anyway, Twilight doesn't count). How do you know if a subgenre is your thing or not? I'm not much of a fantasy reader overall, because world-building can feel tedious to me, and there's usually some suspension of belief that's necessary in order to get immersed, and I dunno, it's rare that a fantasy novel captures me.

That said, once the setup was done, this novella was kind of adorable and also pretty hot (and also if it had been a full-length novel it might have lost me near the beginning). The banter between Luke and Chastity was great once she was done trying to kill him (he's a werewolf, see, and her family are werewolf hunters, except she's not one and she's kind of really bitter about it), and them playfully chasing each other through the woods was the sweetest. The whole you're-my-mate-even-though-you-don't-know-me/imprinting thing feels kind of squicky to me (see also: Twilight), but also great consent scenes here, which kind of made it feel less squicky? I dunno. I liked a lot of things about it while still not being that into Werewolves as Romantic Partners, so I don't know how to rate this.
