Do You Even Shift, Bro?
I thought escaping my toxic ex-boyfriend's coven was the hard part.
Turns out, being magically bonded to four himbo alpha wolves comes with its own challenges—like convincing them I don’t need them to hunt down tampons for me, explaining why I need an actual job despite Killian's obscene family wealth, and trying not to accidentally freeze my coffee every time I get excited about my newfound magical abilities.
Oh, and there's something ancient and vaguely villainous living in our bond right alongside us. Something—or someone—that is definitely not a himbo alpha wolf.
But before I can figure out why my new supernatural connection feels like it comes with a bonus cryptid, my former coven crashes my peaceful afternoon like the world's worst party guests. Turns out my ex, AKA Piss Pants, wants his favorite magical battery back. And he's brought eleven magical friends to make it happen.
A magical war is brewing, my new boyfriends are in danger of becoming a pack of vengeful fur rugs, and I appear to be the f**king catalyst.
Because the universe isn’t finished screwing with me, apparently.

Do You Even Shift, Bro? is the second book in a Paranormal Romance RH series about a grumpy witch with scars and trust issues becoming the last thing she wanted - the unwitting obsession of a pack of massive himbo frat wolves and the center of a magical war.

Some pacing issues and a lot of filler in this one. I would have liked to see more plot progression or more character development. There was relationship progression, but I think it could have gone a little deeper. I did think there were fun and funny moments, the himbo jokes don’t get old. I just felt like there should have been more conflict in the novel. The cliffhanger event I feel should have been something that happened earlier in the book and then been resolved. I think I would have preferred for a new conflict to arise at the end to be the cliffhanger instead

I loved this book. I enjoyed all the characters and particularly loved how the fmc stood up for herself and the love interests respected her and her choices. It was a refreshing change from many other reverse harems I’ve read. Warning though, it ends of a cliffhanger! Can’t wait for the next one!

Theoretically this book is supposed to be out today, so why can’t I find it anywhere? I’m in distress

I was even lucky enough to receive an ARC for Do You Even Shift Bro? And honestly, it’s a 10/10 for me! I was literally cackling with laughter. The characters are so endearing. I love the world building, the magic system. Just all of it!
This is hands down one of my gods tier level series. I think River does a fantastic job bringing the reader into the chaos, without it being overwhelming.

I received an ARC for this book. Not because I’m an ARC reader, but because the vendor had technical issues releasing the book on time so the author opened her ARC list to everyone who was waiting on book 2 so we wouldn’t have to wait for the issue to be resolved. Seriously, kudos to her for that! Top tier behaviour, and I’ll be buying the book as soon as it’s officially released because of that.
The book itself, it’s a good read. It ends on a cliff hanger (again!) but I honestly expected that after the first book. I really love that the characters aren’t just recycled caricatures that seem to litter every why choose book these days- the FMC has actual SCARS that make her snarl and show her tooth- which is AWESOME. People (ok, vampires and an ex, do they count?) recoil from her and she’s self conscious about herself. Refreshing.
And the MMC- I started this series because a book about himbo wolves sounded too intriguing to not read. I had very low expectations, and this book exceeded them in all the best ways. They’re funny. They’re caring. The plot? Pretty ingenious. I love what happened to the ex in book 1. Hopefully he gets more. I’m very curious about certain aspects and how this is going to play out in future books, so I’ll be continuing for sure.

Gah. Another cliffhanger. I’m going to wait until the series is complete before I read more. Love the series but the cliffies are frustrating.

A great continuation of the first and it reads as the next chapter in their story. This book felt much more about the fmc building back her self esteem and starting her life again with her pack as a strong support and entertainment in the background. A positive and fun read.
Managed to scoop an ARC copy and am voluntarily leaving this review as I've been waiting for the release.

Do You Even Shift, Bro?
I graciously received an ARC from River for this book. I devoured Do You Even Hex, Bro? and was waiting anxiously for the second installment of the story.
We return to the Lupa Tau house with our favorite himbo wolves and Regina preparing for their bonding ritual in hopes of freeing herself from Kyle and his coven. Acquiring the ingredients, writing the spells and making sure nobody lost their kno....heads. Sadie is my favorite side character, because who doesn't love a cranky goth girl who takes the piss out of jock alphas any chance she gets?
I love that we get to see some individual dynamics with the wolves and Regina. It was a lot easier this book to separate the personalities and develop them. I feel like we really got to know Micah a lot better in this book because his character got a little lost with the boisterous Sean and macho-alpha Killian.
I am an absolute sucker for Villeneuve. The dark, mysterious Temu Dracula has captured my curiosity. Without him, the bonding wouldn't have happened at all, and River has dropped some interesting foreshadowing details for us about what kind of shifter Villeneuve might be.
What I liked the most about this book is Regina is smart without being arrogant or a "pick-me" girl She is competent, but not stubborn. She can accept help when she needs it from the people she trusts and doesn't make things harder by being TSTL and running head first into danger. She has also been given an opportunity to expand her knowledge with a powerful mentor and does what's best for HER. I could definitely see River adding said mentor into the harem. Fingers crossed!
River also makes the himbo wolves absolutely endearing to the max. She makes sure they are the sweetest type of stupid alpha without being disparaging/insulting about them because she highlights all their good qualities. Even Sean has a couple of good ideas even while being the biggest meathead of them all. The only bullies in this book are the bad guys, and I love that.
My only criticism is that with the different character POVs, we get some repetition from the perspective of another character for the same scene, so the story doesn't move along quite as fast as I prefer, but that's also because I'm a speed demon reader.
River leaves us with a nice closing to the book without throwing us off a cliff, which thank goodness for that. This is a fun book that doesn't need to leave us weeping at the end of the last chapter like some authors like to do. She didn't give us emotional whiplash and it didn't give me a book hangover. I absolutely see myself re-reading these.

Due to the Amazon glitch, the author sent me an ARC !
This book picks up right where we left off in Book 1. Super happy to see the pack all fully bonded and growing with each other. Regina is shaking her habits from living in an abusive relationship for so long and truly starting to become herself again. The boys are still hilarious and totally in love with her! Can’t wait for the third one !!

Very fun series, but damn I hate a cliff hanger.
Villenueve is definitely a dragon right? And what was the fifth presence is in the bond? I feel like Regina is secretly something else besides just a siphon.

Not as good or funny as the first one. Probably won’t read anymore even if I want to confirm what the professor and the fifth presences was.
Slightly repetitive.

DNF at 77%. There’s himbo and then there’s what ever petulant nonsense these guys are.

Do you even write well developed characters and interesting plot lines, bro?
January 30, 2026
Fun, fluffy book. I am very torn - I feel like this story has the potential to be deep with teeth, a really interesting and deep read - yet I also feel like the author was trying for light and fluffy…. It’s an odd combo, yet I did enjoy it and I will read the next one. A solid three stars for me.

Deducted one star because throwing in a cliffhanger on the last page isn't a substitute for having an actual plot. We're subconsciously wired to understand story mechanics, we know when to expect conflict, so when . Mind you, it's not that I actually want yet another FMC to be abducted, but when you're bracing for the inevitable conflict and nothing actually happens, the whole storyline starts to feel a bit off-kilter..
With that complaint out of the way, this book was an absolute JOY to read. I kept finding myself wheezing with laughter. Who knew himbo MMCs could be so entertaining? From the "Emotional Support Animal" vest that was four sizes too small, to glancing out the window to find a bear sized wolf up in a tree, looking back, to every time Sean said something brilliant by complete accident. "Never mind. I vote for the trebuchet." 😂😂😂 Never change, himbos. Never change..
We all think Proffessor Bond Villain is another mate, right? That he snuck into the bond ahead of time by using his own . I definitely hope he gets more screen time in the next book and I'll be there on day one to read it.

This was enjoyable. Book 1 had the feel of a prequel, whereas this one has more of a true first installment spirit. We get some character development and the relationships build.
Regina agrees to work as a TA for the mysterious Villeneuve, who also helps the pack with their magical ritual for bonding. He also agreed to be their faculty sponsor because they’re on probation.
Alas, an eerie presence seems to be in the bond too: green, ancient energy. Is it Villeneuve? Is it the werewolf who attacked Regina? Is it the dragon whose blood they used for the ritual? We don’t know yet.
But Killian has been having bad dreams of losing control of his wolf to an ancient power and attacking Regina.
Regina: witch mate, has physical and emotional scars from her old coven
Killian: leader of the pack
Sean: true Himbo of Himbos. The dumbest and most golden retriever of the pack
Rowan: smart, clean, orderly
Micah: dedicated, wears glasses so you know he’s smart, thoughtful
Killian and Sean get featured a lot in this book, and they have clear personalities. Rowan and Micah continue to be somewhat interchangeable and also don’t stand out as important.
The book ends with a cliffhanger. Regina finally meets the wolf forms of her pack and they go for a run, but her old coven portals in to attack them.

Be sure to read book 1 first as this directly follows it. Regina is working hard to gather the ingredients and perfect the spell to allow her to break her bond with Kyle and his coven while simultaneously creating a bond with her four wolves. She convinces Killian, Micah, Rowan, and Sean that she needs to consult with Professor Villeneuve to ensure her Latin is good and the spell will work. They are so not happy. The consolation brings their nemesis into the ceremony as an observer/coach as he has access to an obscure ingredient they need - dragon blood. It also turns out they need him to be their sponsor since they have alienated all the faculty members on campus. (What a surprise!)
The book is entertaining, it would have to be with these four lovable knotheads. Regina is slowly getting her self-esteem back and moving on with the plans she had before Kyle messed up her life... and her face. But there is an unusual problem, it seems a fifth prescence entered the bonding ceremony at the end and it is causing problems for Killian. And, of course, Kyle is still out there recovering from the loss of his arm. He's not done with her yet.

4.5 stars
This was an entertaining follow up to the first himbo wolf book.
In this one, we see the relationship between Regina and the pack develop as they start to get to know each other.
There are a couple of major events (the lead up to the bonding, the hunt for the sponsor, the drama with her ex coven) but on the whole this was primarily book about the character's developing relationship.
Since that's what I felt was lacking in the first book, I was 100% satisfied with the direction this one took.
There's a good amount of humour and playfulness in the dialogue, and a few jokes even come out during the sexy scenes.
I was really impressed with Regina's character growth in this one too. It's like she's really coming into her own.
With her scars especially, I love that she's not just suddenly okay with people seeing her face without the glamor. She's slowly gaining more confidence about her appearance and that's what makes her reactions more realistic.
No idea when Book 3 will be out, or even how many books are planned for this series, but I'll definitely make sure to check out the next ones when it comes out.

First, I absolutely love that the wolf shifters are fratboy himbos lol. I love their personalities and how ridiculous they are half the time. I love that in this book we start to seethe FMC accept the mate bond she has with them and to trust them. It is wonderful seeing her blossom and start to see herself through their eyes. One thing I hope is that she feels comfortable to be outside the house without her glamour in the 3rd book. I have mixed feelings on the professor and what part I think he plays in this whole thing. He is very mysterious, and his character is written in such a way that you really have no clue if he will end up being a “bad” guy. I don’t want to give spoilers so I will just say I am really looking forward to finding out more about the things that happened during the bonding. I devoured this book, and it was a quick read I couldn’t put down. I almost threw my kindle at the cliffhanger I was so mad at where it ended, but at the same time I am feral for the 3rd book lol. I will be reading anything this author puts out.

I got an ARC copy due to the issue with Amazon. I am now a supporter of the author because aside from being a great writer, she is an even greater person just based on how amazingly well she has handled that situation.
On to the book... I was really excited to dive back into the story and it did not disappoint! I love the banter and the humor that has been present since book 1. The four himbos continue to be awesome and I am here for Regina's growth. I am in love with how they are with her and how they are slowly healing her traumas.
Book 2 ends on a cliffhanger but I am so excited to uncover the mystery of Professor Villeneuve, , and the extent of Regina's powers in the next book/s.
I would also love more of Sadie and hope she eventually gets her own story.

Book 2 ends on a cliffhanger but I am so excited to uncover the mystery of Professor Villeneuve, , and the extent of Regina's powers in the next book/s.
I would also love more of Sadie and hope she eventually gets her own story.

I read this as an ARC copy after the release issue with Amazon.
This was an enjoyable 2nd book in the series. The wolves are entertaining as slightly bumbling and immature mates, but their caring and connection with Regina really carry the book. In particular, their gentleness, protectiveness, and desire for her to live without the glamour spell really sold me on the story.
The plot carried over very well from the first book, and the only negative was the friction between Villanueve and her mates. I didn’t care for how much they sense something wrong with him, while she dismisses that. While I’m sure that tension will drive Book 3 in the series, I wish it didn’t create a situation where the guys’ instincts are completely dismissed. Separately, I need more girl time between Regina and Micah’s sister.

I genuinely loved the first book in this series and I was really looking forward to reading book 2. It did not disappoint.
Regina (FMC) had her work cut out for her by breaking bonds and creating new ones. All the whilst navigating this new pack - Killian, Rowan, Micah & Sean with all their easy going nature and fun loving personalities (as well as all of the laughs too). Mixed in with all of that was her old coven still causing problems and Professor Villenuve who seemed particularly helpful in this book. I'm still trying to work him out? With that great cliff-hanger ending I can't wait to get my hands on book 3.

This one was nice! Pretty cozy, and even the cliffhanger is a relatively mild one. Some of the hints and foreshadowing seem very obvious, but there’s enough intrigue to keep me interested in the next book. And hey, maybe some of it is misdirection.
I do find the boys to be a little underdeveloped as characters and I often mix up Rowan and Micah, but their frat boy antics remain entertaining and there are lots of chuckles to be had. I love that they’re protective but not controlling and are willing to put their own territorial feelings aside to support her choices. Still hoping for that fifth addition to the harem, and imo the groundwork has been laid. But I suppose we shall see!

Regina settles in with her pack in this instalment, but there are darker forces lurking in the background. There are so many teases with the pack, Villeneuve and the coven, so I’m not sure what is a red herring or is real. I like that because it’s not a boring plot, plus ai like guessing halfway through a story, just to see if ai will be right at the end.
I like the direction that Regina, Killian, Rowan, Micah and Sean are going. The guys are so sweet and caring, and I like how Regina has started to believe in her self-worth.
This series is intriguing, fun and totally compelling. I can’t wait to see what happens in book 3!

I’m so excited to finally get this book I have been waiting since I finished the first book for it to be released. I really enjoyed this book and I love these characters!! This book has the same humor as the first book. We get more of a look at the dynamic between the pack and Regina. There is some forward movement of the plot, some developments and some character growth. This book ends on a (in my opinion) mild cliff hanger so be warned! I can’t wait to see where the story goes. The alphas continue to be protective and hilarious. There are many sweet and funny scenes, as well as some spicy scenes.

I have been looking forward to this book since I finished Do you even hex bro? back in November, that book was 5 stars no notes.
This one I think suffered a little bit from being the 2nd book meaning it had a lot more filler and a little less story arc. I still thoroughly enjoyed being back with Regina and her himbo pack, I just wish there was a little more plot movement.
The cliffhanger was evil and I am now dying for book 3 and I'm really intrigued with the Professor 🧐

I was very excited to receive an ARC copy from the author after the glitch with Amazon not sending out preorders. River Ramsey is so nice to do that and shows love for her fans. This is the second book in the Bros and the Witch series and develops the characters further. This book had humor, spice, and an underlying mystery that I am excited to see unfurl. Reading Regina’s struggle to accept herself and accept that others truly want her for her was like therapy and I can’t wait to see her confidence grow. So excited to keep reading this series!

Thank you to the author for the ARC!
Found the first one randomly, probably via reddit, and loved it.
This one took a little while to get going, but I ended up liking it just as much. The writing is good, and I love that even though it follows the alpha wolf shifter tropes, the relationships seem genuinely respectful and even though they are protective, they are not controlling.
I’m super intrigued by Professor Villanueve and have lots of ideas/theories about him that I hope will come true.
A cliff hanger like this should be illegal but in looking forward to the next book.

An easy read that is well written and has a seamless flow. Wonderfully lovable MCs that you can’t help but cheer for their pack. There’s a slow build that actually makes sense as the FMC has a heavy past to slowly overcome. I admired the MMCs devotion and patience with her. There are also some mysteries emerging with the new beginnings and then … a sudden cliff-hangar. It really is a logical step though. I received a free copy of this book and am leaving my review voluntarily. I really enjoyed this book, and the series so far is one I would happily recommend.
