Spooky Boys #3

Hunt Me! I Crave the Chase

Rate this book
Maybe he’s fast enough to catch you. Maybe you want him to.

Jeffrey
Returning to my hometown, to normalcy, after all I’ve been through feels strange to say the least. Returning to the friends and family that have all moved on with their lives, while I’m still trapped with demons of my past haunting me, is really the worst kind of torment.

I’m safe now. Lydia, the woman who stole me when I was just nine years old, is in prison. I’m free. But I don’t feel free. I don’t even know who I am anymore. The child I was is dead and the man I’ve become is lost.

Mutt
I found him. He smells like soap and oranges…and sorrow and sadness, but he smells like mine all the same. From the first moment I saw him in the parking lot on the side of the highway, with his pretty speckled nose and pouty frown, I knew that fate had gifted me my mate. In the same breath, mixed with the sweet smell of his delectable skin, I also knew that fate had a cruel sense of humor. Because my mate is not a wolf, but a human. And a human cannot save me from the moon mother’s curse. And I may not know much about most things, or what the future holds for us, but I know I would trek miles and scale mountains to put a smile on my grumpy human mate’s face.


Hunt Me! Is a standalone paranormal MM romance with high heat, a HEA, and no cliffhangers. It features a relationship between a werewolf-shaped himbo and an ex monster hunter who’s never had a place to belong. These two men could not be more different and yet together they’re carefree, devoted, possessive, and tooth-achingly sweet. If you like spooky stories with mystery, suspense, werewolves that pretend to be dogs, and characters that make you laugh, read on!

The spooky boys series invites you to visit a world where things that go bump in the night aren’t just fantasy. These standalone novels feature monsters that are spicy, fun, and sometimes furry.

˚🐾˖° Even if he was nosy, handsy, and stupid enough to pretend to be a dog. He felt like he was mine, when nothing else did. ˚🐾˖°


Let’s start off with the fact that ‘shifter pretends to be a dog to be with human’ is the cutest thing to ever be. Even if the human finds out almost immediately.

“I. Love. Pop. Tarts,” Mutt boomed, loud and excited, his tail wagging like crazy. “They are the best! Crunchy and wrong, because they are not real food. But very good. So much sugar! Yes.”


Extra adorable when the shifter/dog is a huge himbo puppy that doesn’t have a mean bone in his body, who just wants to sniff and lick his mate all over, wants to bring him all the squirrels, wants to protect and love and make him smile.
Mutt was just the most precious baby.

He was life incarnate, and looking at him made me feel normal for the first time in my life.


And of course I fell for Jeffrey as well. The hurt, the loneliness, the past still keeping him stuck. I felt for him, I connected with his pain, I loved to see him regain his happiness. Together, they were so sweet and adoring.
And hot as fuck, obviously.

“Such a pretty bitch,” I said softly, voice low and crackling with heat. “Such a pretty, pretty bitch. Aren’t you, sweetheart?”


The spice was absolute fire. Since their first encounter, I knew the smut was gonna be explosive — passion and primal, teeth and tongues, growling and alpha-please-need. Not sure how I feel about bitch as a pet name, but I loved the contrast between sweet puppy Mutt in the streets and dirty hawt Alpha in the sheets.

“If I were to die tomorrow I would be happy. Because when I close my eyes I will know that my life has not been a waste. Because I made you smile.”


THE TEARS. This book had me feeling so many emotions. Love, hurt, longing, relief, tears of sadness and tears of happiness, love found only to be lost.
I felt so deeply when reading this, it’s going to take a while to recover from it. I loved every moment. The found family, Jeffrey’s healing journey, Mutt’s dopey cuteness, the angst, the comfort.

Hunt Me has definitely earned a top spot in my shifter romances shelf, and I can’t wait for more from Fae Quin.

My sweet mate. My darling. My prince.

✨ARC REVIEW✨
This book hurt my feelings and healed my soul at the same time. It was such a beautiful story about healing, open communication, trust, found family and love. Mutt is the most precious being ever and must be protected. And Jeffrey was so broken and so fucking strong. Them being together was sweet and painful because they had a looming heartbreaking future - which could have been solved with open communication with a lot of the people involved, but ya know, we love our drama. The acceptance they both offered each other, the gentle safe space they became for the other, oh my heart. This being a Spooky Boys story meant Fae Quinn was gonna take her time describing feelings and thoughts and moments, so we spend A LOT of time in the MCs head, which at times felt a bit too much, but all in all it also gave all the feels so I'm not going to complain.

I loved this book even when sometimes I just wanted to throw my kindle away and curl in a ball to cry and swoon.

Oh. My. GAAAAAWD THAT WAS THE CUTEST SHIT EVER 🥹🥹
I was either smiling so much that my cheeks hurt or suffering with them so much my heart hurt.

Things that pulled at my heartstrings:
MUTT and everything he ever did (seriously his cuteness is almost unbearable, he is my precious baby for ever and ever and I will protect him with my life), the found family, the ‚Lady and the Tramp‘ date, Mutt pretending to be Jeffrey’s dog and thinking he’s sneaky about it, Collin‘s and Jeffrey’s ‚Bi-Wife‘ talk (and Collin in general), Jeffrey slowly overcoming his past trauma and learning to laugh and trust again, the hurt/comfort aspects of their relationship, their matching haircuts, the ‚sex basket‘.
Also: the smut was hot 😮‍💨

I didn’t read the first two books of the series and while that’s definitely possible and worked in the end, I was a little confused in the beginning ngl. So I’d probably recommend reading the first two before ‚Hunt me!‘ just for general story- and world building.
All in all, this was so lovely. 4 ⭐️, only because I didn’t vibe with the writing at some points.
And btw I reaaaally want Silas‘ and Butters‘ story now 💕

I finished this book several hours ago. I had to let things settle a bit before I reviewed it. I read it within 24 hours, and within that 24 hours, I was sucked into Elmwood, ME, on a journey, feeling so many feels. I got to catch up with old friends and fall in love with new ones. I was brought to tears several times, which is hard to do to me. I laughed out loud several times, too, and holy smokes, it's hot! Fae did an amazing job of bringing Jeffrey and Mutts longing for one another, their pain, and their joy and love to life. I felt every feeling they were feeling it was emotional and beautiful, and I loved every minute of reading this book. Another spectacular addition to the series. I highly recommend, it's everything and more!

Just reread via audio, and it was even more amazing! Liam Dicosimo and Alexander Cendese were absolute perfection!

RTC but some thoughts!

CHARACTERS

Jeffrey Evans.. MMC1. Human at first. Traumatized. C-PTSD. In therapy. Needs to be needed and wanted. Strained family relationships. I want to cuddle him. Communication can be rough. 4⭐️

Matthew “Mutt” Alpha wolf who likes being a wolf more than human. In turns of human intelligence, he’s a bit stunted. Barely any filter. Uses “bitch” as a term of endearment for sex. Shirks his duties but nothing that makes him reprehensible. 4⭐️

THOUGHTS

✅ I liked that this story showed how Jeffrey’s trauma effects others in his life and not just him—meaning he needs to do independent healing alongside repairing relationships with others. Too many books get comfortable with hurt/comfort being codependent (and that’s fine), but I enjoyed seeing how multifaceted trauma is, especially his level of guilt being the one who suffered trauma that wasn’t as physical as Blair’s and how distinct he and Blair are in their relationships with their pasts.

✅ Mutt was a breath of fresh air. He’s so open and candid, because, well, he’s used to that as a wolf. I loved he’s still nuanced though. Yeah, being simple in terms of love can be nice, but it can be a hindrance and become stressful for everyone else. And Mutt recognizes that his lack of responsibility has stressed out important people in his life beyond Jeffrey.

✅ I’m also happy this book didn’t try to put any sort of disability onto Mutt either. Him being not necessarily nonverbal but less verbal than others isn’t seen as a positive or a negative. It’s nuanced. He does need to communicate more, but there’s workarounds such as using pictures and him accepting responsibility. He does need to improve in his reading, but it’s not something that’s demonized for him being unable to read at a level appropriate for his age. I enjoyed that.

✅ Sex was hot. Nuff said.


🛑 I think why I don’t rock with this writing style is because the author takes a bit too long in the monologuing to get a point across. We’ll be in the middle of a conversation, and now we’re having flashbacks and flash forwards that aren’t handled in a way for me to compute where we are in the timeline and where we left out. Flashbacks, be it in montages or in full-blown flashbacks, need some reason why the information wasn’t available to us in a linear fashion. After that, for readability, there needs to be indicators of where the flashback begins and ends and also a strategic placement of the flashback. This book failed on all sides, to me. It mismanaged where to place flashbacks and how to indicate them. I was just confused with the timeline of certain things.

🛑 Character voice wise, while Jeffrey and Mutt had distinctions in their dialogue—and Mutt was definitely built different with some of his lexicon—there were some times where the voice could’ve easily been Jeffrey or Mutt with some repeats on certain styling/formatting and word choice.

🛑 I loved Harry, but I fucking HATED when he grilled Jeffrey about Lydia and faced no repercussions. Jeffrey dealt with that as best he could, but I really wished Harry had realized he’d asked someone to tell him about their abuser and had the sense to apologize for it rather than justify his actions.

💫 I wish this had been a standalone. If you didn’t read the previous books, you don’t get the scope of the Lydia trauma, which is a shame. The trickletruth comes out, but I wish this had been built as a standalone a bit more.

💫 Maybe a bit more about wolf politics? I was a little lost about Mutt leaving and the alpha claiming and the moon stuff. But I’m also a bit of a daft person.

All in all, I consider this a 3.5⭐️ read 🫶🏾

EDIT: SPAG and words 🙂‍↕️

Mutt! Mutt! Mutt!! For a wolfy boy that has never been around humans he sure knows how to take care of his mate 🥹 I love how obsessed, careful he was with Jeffrey and all he wanted to do is just be there for him and take care of him. Jeffrey definitely deserved to have someone like that! Mutt’s relationships with his brothers and his father were so special. 💕

Jeffrey just broke my heart ❤️‍🩹 I hated how bad he felt about things he couldn’t control and abuse he suffered as well, it made sense how hard it was for him to let his brothers in. It felt so hard won and earned when he finally let his walls down with his family and the acceptance he got in return was so needed for him. His relationships with Blair, Richard and Collin really added just as much to the story as his relationship with Mutt did. I really enjoyed this story, Jeffrey and Mutt were so sweet and exactly what the other needed.


If I had to knit pick I’d say it could get repetitive sometimes but I think that’s just Fae Quinn’s style of writing. The lyrical, heartfelt way she writes definitely overshadows that one issue I had though. I would definitely recommend reading, you’ll love these spooky boys 🥹

Oh, how nice it was to be back in Spooky Boys' universe. If you are looking for an MM series to read this fall, I highly recommend this!

I feel like with each book, I'm falling for the characters more and more. Before I dive into some details, I just want to say that Mutt has to be protected at all costs! Every time I think about him, the warm feelings just gets a hold of me. He was perfect, and I love him.

Fae has this amazing ability to blend a light humour with some heavy topics. The balance she finds in between to tell us the story and get us closer to the characters is something I really enjoy in her books.

If you are familiar with the series, you know that we had a chance to meet Jeffrey before. My heart definitely felt his pain. Due to his tragic past, he dont know who he is anymore or who people expect him to be. He is a lost soul with very little hope to ever get better. Unexpected "one night stand" made him tangled with Mutt. I've already said I love him. It's impossible not to. He is just so precious! Sweet, caring, and if he wants a squirrel, he can have it! My treat lol the way Mutt understood Jeffrey, how much of a support he was for him. Honestly, it was so wholesome. To see their relationship slowly build and blossom into something special was everything and more I ever expected.

Of course, there will be obstacles, but if the souls are meant to be together, they will always find the way.

It was great to see Blair and Richard again. Also, I hope it wasn't the last time we've seen Mutt's brothers 😊

This was a beautiful story about the healing and finding your happy place. I hope you'll give it a chance.
I'm already excited about the next book!

DNF @ 96% essentially I read the book but I’m skipping the epilogue because I’m so full of rage.

The less-spoilery review is basically: this book is too long and repetitive not only of words/phrases but also ideas. I felt like I was reading in miscommunication circles for a while what with no one being fully honest or talking to their families that they loved and trusted so much 🙄 As if that wasn’t bad enough the resolution of the overall conflict made me want to yeet my kindle into the ocean. 🤬 There was no coming back from that.

You’re telling me that Jeffrey has been busting his ass pretty much this whole long ass book trying to find a solution so Mutt doesn’t go feral because as we’re constantly told ~Jeffrey can’t be my mate! He’s a human!!~ 😱😭 but come to find out that A) Mutt has known the whole fucking time that Jeffrey could be turned, and B) if he’d spoken at all to his brothers about this problem one of the two omegas would’ve jumped to help him.

I think what pisses me off the most is that the bones of this book are good. Some of the dialogue is deeply emotional, romantic, or thought-provoking. There’s some commentary on guilt and choices that had me really sitting with my thoughts it was that healing. So I’m feeling a bit bamboozled that the ending was jk he can be your mate pretty damn easily and everyone wants to help make that happen and the dad aka pack Alpha doesn’t even seem to care so no one’s even getting disowned?!!?!? 💔☠️ Yay HEA /s

Fae Quin is one of my very favorite MM authors. I love her contemporary "Christmas Daddies" series and I am also a huge fan of every one of the "Spooky Boys" books! I had been looking forward to this release for ages- and I am so happy I read it right in time for spooky season.

I got to go back to Elmwood, y'all! Blair and Richard were there... and Colin! HOORAY!

Jeffrey, whom we met in the previous books, is Richard's bio brother who was stolen from his family as a child and ended up being raised as Blair's brother. Long story... if you have read the previous books, you know that Jeffrey and Blair both went through a hell of a lot of trauma and abuse- different kinds of abuse for each of them, but abuse, none the less- and Jeffrey, who has finally followed Blair to Elmwood and escaped his life, is a very broken man.

He is unsure of who he is after having played a very specific part for most of his life- the part his abuser wanted him to play- and he cannot find his way back to himself. Man, Fae has a total talent for writing heavier topics within this series- many of her MCs have very troubled pasts- but she tempers that with so much hope, and a giant dose of humor and banter- I find it to be realistic, but also easy to read and less angsty than it could have been written by someone else.

And hot DAMN-- if anyone is going to swoop in and save Mutt's day, I AM SO HAPPY IT WAS MUTT. Sighhhhh. Oh, sweet Mutt. Think of your most primal, basic alpha wolf- one who loves his family and has a giant heart- but who is a basic boy. Mutt can't read, he doesn't own a phone, his favorite food is squirrel. And man, oh man, is Mutt infatuated with Jeffrey from the moment he catches a whiff of him in a truck stop parking lot.

So our beautiful himbo werewolf does a little stalking.... he cannot let Jeffrey out of his sight. Unfortunately, everything in him and his wolf think Jeffrey is his mate. But wolves cannot mate with humans, so that must be wrong. Which devastates Mutt, because his time is ticking down- he needs to find a mate soon, or his alpha will take over and he will become feral and have to be put down.

What a tangled web we find ourselves in.

But dear god- when these two finally cross paths face to face, I was pretty much dying from the heat. Mutt is PRIMAL. He is the most primal wolf character I have ever read, and that is saying a lot- I have read a lot of shifter books. The spice is WHOA. I mean.... his nickname for Jeffrey is his "pretty bitch," if that is telling you anything. But it IS SO HOT. Fae never ever lets us down on the spice front.

Jeffrey has a really, really hard dating because of his past. He truly is a mess- but Mutt is the perfect match. He doesn't care about anything other than what boils down to basic instincts- he wants to feed Jeffrey, make sure he is warm and happy, has everything he needs, and..... comes a LOT. Multiple times a day, over and over again. Because that is what a good mate does.

I felt for poor Mutt as the time started to tick down on his mate clock... and he was in love with a human and unwilling to find a wolf as a mate. My heart broke for Jeffrey as he did everything he could to try and find a solution to solve the issue so he and Mutt could be together. It was so endearing- I trusted Fae to get us through to the HEA, although she did put me through the wringer there a bit!

The found family was on point- I was literally feral for any glimpse of Richard and Blair I could get- and the developing brotherly relationships between Jeffrey and Blair, and Jeffrey and Colin were some of my favorite parts of the book.

I am reallllly hoping that Mutt's brothers will be getting their own books in the future!

♥ Jeffrey and Mutt ♥
Genre: M/M Paranormal Romance
Format: E-Book (ARC)
Series: Spooky Boys # 3
Can be read as standalone
I received an advance review copy for free from Gay Romance Reviews, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.


Character Development: 4/5 • Jeffrey was a very compelling character. He had to go through so much, in his short life. As he said "I felt like a one of those weeds that breaks through cement. Like maybe I hadn't grown where I was supposed to. Maybe it'd be hard, and hurt. But I was blossoming either way.". I have never related to something more. Later, Mutt describes him as a flower but in a very powerful way *not spoiling it*, that just ties it all together. ♥

Plot: 4/5 • The plot was engaging and well written. I absolutely loved how their relationship developed. It was high heat but slow burn emotionally. It made their tender moments so much sweeter.

Writing Style: 4.5/5 • The book was well written, with no grammatical or spelling errors. The banter and self-deprecating humor was hilarious. Fae Quin has a way of making you feel like you experiencing everything the character's are feeling as you read. It is easy to escape into her world of Elmwood, Maine.

Spice Level: 3/5 • The intimacy evolved with the characters relationship. It seems relatable and not just added to the story for the heck of it. Every time, Mutt and Jeffrey were together was so sweet, raw and passionate.

Overall Rating: 5/5 • Everyone deserves a Mutt in their lives. OMG he has to be the sweetest werewolf MC I've ever read. Think of the most cinnamon rolliest character you can think of and quadruple it. The banter was *chef's kiss*. This book had me sobbing happy tears over the sweetness between Mutt and Jeffrey while simultaneously ripping my heart out from the torment. Maybe I was just too into the story to see what was in front of me, but I had no clue how this story would develop or end. I was no disappointed at all. The was a hard fought but tender HEA! Mutt gets the best wolf-doggo award.

Tropes:
• Werewolf x Human
• Grumpy/Sunshine
• Bi-awakening
• Hurt/Comfort
• Found Family
• Fated Mates
• HEA

Tropes / tags: hurt / comfort, past trauma, shifter

Hunt Me! was a fun, charming and emotional read, with plenty of hurt / comfort and steam!

I loved Mutt and his himbo and clueless werewolf ways - he was utterly adorable and so good with Jeffrey! There was a lot of humour in their story, but there was also Jeffrey’s haunted past and his struggles to move on from what happened to him. My heart broke for him, his loneliness, all his sadness and almost hopelessness... I loved to see how he found comfort in Mutt, both when Mutt was in his human form but also when he pretended to be Jeffrey’s dog.

The dynamic between Mutt and Jeffrey was super sweet and so precious, and I loved to see how things grew between them. There was plenty of scenting and sniffing, and Mutt had no sense of personal space most of the time. He really was the biggest and most adorable puppy, who just wanted to protect his mate and make him happy. They had some great chemistry right from the start, and the steamy scenes were explosive with a lot of passion and primal rawness.

I haven’t read the other books in the series, and I had to go back to double check that prior reading wasn’t necessary, because it felt like I was missing things and I struggled to keep track of the secondary characters. It got a little better the further into the story I got, but I would recommend reading this series in order, or at least read Blair’s book before this one since he’s Jeffrey’s best friend. I just felt like I never fully got the scope of the story about Jeffrey and Blair’s pasts.

Hunt Me! was a very cute and sweet read, that definitely had an emotional edge to it. There were a few things that I struggled with, but overall it was an enjoyable read with charming characters and a plot that kept me intrigued until the end.

[I received a digital arc for a honest review]

I had written out an entire full length review and erased it so for now here's my mini insta review because I freaking loved this book but I don't have the brain cells to rewrite the entire thing .

Hunt Me has tied Possess Me for my favorite Fae Quin book !!! I adored Mutt and Jeffrey so damn much, and they will they won't they of them being able to figure out a way to be together stressed me out and made me not be able to put the book down . I NEEDED to know! Overall Hunt Me is a slow burn pnr romance between an ex hunter trying to find himself well dealing with his guilt and trauma and A cinnamon roll Alpha werewolf who just so happens to be his fated mate. Filled with hurt/comfort, high steam, stalking , scenting , knotting, primal play, plus found family, cheeseburgers , sex gift baskets, a dog disguise, and a HEA. 🥰

DNF and 30% they met immediately and have sex even though one of them claims he has always been straight. The reason I wanted to read the series is for this book but I was disappointed. The werewolf has a thing for him before they even meet and it makes me annoyed. This is probably just my opinion so if you want to read this series don’t let it change your mind the first two books were great.

I love Mutt! He’s just a big ole cinnamon roll with an all around sunshine personality. He was perfect for Jeffrey especially with all the shit Jeffrey’s been through. I liked how Jeffrey kept up with Mutt’s whole “dog” act it was funny especially the neutering suggestion 😂. My favorite part is where Jeffrey shaves his head and tells Mutt what his hair symbolized to himself and then Mutt goes and does the same thing in solidarity 🥺. “We can grow together”. Ahhhhh!!!! It was beautiful. Love this series and am excited to see what happens next. Hopefully Butters’s story because I didn’t really like what happened to him but am excited by who helped him 😏.

2.5 stars. I really wanted to like this book more but there were too many issues standing in the way.

This is labeled as a standalone but I don’t think that is the case. There is so much background/character history stuff that is alluded to throughout the book and barely any details provided. Particularly everything with Jeffery being kidnapped - tell me more about this! Why? How? It is all very superficial, to the point of frustration.

The same could be said for Mutt and the history/politics of the werewolves. Very little is explained about them at all.

Voice! My goodness voice was a big issue for me. The further you go into the story the less clear the character voices were. I’m okay with Mutt having a limited vocabulary or not understanding certain sayings or aspects of human life, but commit to that. Mutt’s inner monologue or narration would often sound way more complex than he was characterized as, at points he sounded more like Jeffery than he did himself.

There was potential here, an interesting story and interesting characters. It was just not well executed. I think with a few more drafts this could’ve been much better.

I love the spooky boys universe and Mutt and Jeffery’s story was such an incredibly sweet addition to this series.
I adore the way Fae Quin writes, pulling you into this world she creates for her characters to overcome their own demons and find their HEA against all odds. Mutt is absolutely the sweetest most adorable MC and must be protected at all costs in all his forms. Jeffery’s journey is so incredibly lonely and difficult and loved how Fae takes him down a path that shows him the love that already surrounds him and how much he deserves it.

These two together were absolute perfection. How they feel about each other just jumps off the page, no misunderstandings or meandering, just perfect possessive “you’re mine” mate vibes throughout. I really liked the mental health rep, and the adorable human speak translations and how smell is more honest than words and scorching hot chemistry as these two make it work.

I definitely recommend giving this a go if you like sweet-opposites attract-fated mates stories

I cried.

Thank goodness, it was just me in my room.
Guys, Fae Quin became possessed by the spirit of Shakespeare because wtf, I couldn’t handle the poetic-ness of this story. Mutt is just so sugary sweet and Jeffrey is so baby girl that I couldn’t even handle it. The quotes that I had to highlight because I just couldn’t cope. I’m so happy that they found their HEA because heaven knows, my baby Jeffrey deserved it and I couldn’t think of anyone that fits as much as Mutt. At first, I was gonna give it a 3.75 rating but yep, the dam broke and my tears came and I just couldn’t do that. I thought Prudence and Luca’s story was enough( still my favorite ) but Mutt and Jeffrey has a special place in my heart. Packpackpack . Anywho, stay hydrated, bye lovelies 💗, until next time.

4.25⭐️

Mutt and Jeffrey are just so sweet and cute together. Mutt and his way of talking things through had me both laughing and teary by how funny or thoughtful he was at that moment. I loved their connection and deep understanding of each other. The spice was spicing and I also definitely appreciated that. Side note: Mutt’s age is kept kinda vague throughout but it seems that he’s 18 and that kinda made me feel some kinda way but I allowed it by attributing it to werewolf culture⭐️ any how def enjoyed - was able to read as a stand alone - though there were clearly characters from previous books that formed a backstory that made me want to know more but gave me enough that I didn’t NEED to know anything else than this book

Muszę przyznać, że tak jak pierwsza część mnie nie zachwyciła, to w tej było coś uroczego. Może przez to, że uwielbiam historie o wilkołakach. I Mutt był cudownym partnerem - i nawet nie chodzi o to, że szukam takiej osoby, bardziej o to, że sama chciałabym być takim oparciem.

I mimo wielu nieścisłości oraz zakończenia wyciągniętego z kapelusza, nadal dobrze się bawiłam podczas lektury.

2.5/5

there were some sweet moments and i liked these two together but i think this could’ve been shorter and a lot of things just didn’t really make sense and lacked context. also that epilogue scene made me a little uncomfy.

”This was like if amazing and awesome fucked. A new feeling entirely.”

All I did was SOB. And a lot of that had to do with my current mental health, admittedly, but not all of it.

No, this book just ripped my heart out and stomped on it—repeatedly and without malice, but still—like pain is a fun thing to experience, and it was just trying to make sure I had the Full Monty. Well congratulations, because I did. Mission accomplished. Goal achieved.

The characters continue to inspire, the story was so much hurt/comfort good-good it was almost too much for my squishy insides, and the love could heal half the wrongs in the world. So many things got deeper explanation and richer detail, and seeing the healing on all the various levels was beautiful—even when it hurt.

5/5. I’m going to go touch some grass, hug one of my fuzzy children, and probably eat at least half the carton of the rocky road in my freezer. For Butters, clearly. I need the next book now, please and thank you.🤠🙏

✨Mutt + Jeffrey 5EVER✨

“Sometimes I wish you were a wolf. Not because you aren’t perfect the way you are—because you are. But because I think… if you could scent how I feel about you—if you could feel the way my heart beats when you’re around. If you could hear my truths, I could make you happy.”

“What if I can’t stop? What if I’m always lost?” “Then I will come to you.” Mutt replied immediately. “Until I breathe my last breath, I will chase you. We can be lost together.”
