Quanta angústia nos capítulos iniciais, viu?!
Meus olhos brilharam e senti a garganta apertar.

Não sabemos o que a autora reserva para a nossa matilha, mas, definitivamente ela nos fará sofrer um pouco mais a frente, já que Killian está em uma situação cada vez pior e precária, e se pensarmos bem... todo o sonho dele se realizou até o presente momento, então, acredito que será inevitável o momento em que a loucura chegar e ele caçar Regina, desejando despedaçar sua própria companheira.

É claro, acredito que ainda descobrirão como reverter toda aquela situação. Seja através de Vyse, ou até da teoria, sem querer querendo, que o professor disse sobre ele se vincular a Regina justamente por alto preservação... será que teremos Regina agindo parcialmente como 'lobo' e mordendo os rapazes para 'fechar' um vínculo? Dito isso, ela de repente morder a coxa de Sean durante um b*quete foi, para mim, uma dica.

(posso estar completamente enganada e apenas teorizando que nem os lunáticos.)

Vyse e Sadie?! Eu simplesmente amei a química agressiva de poucas frases... aqueles dois ainda prometem muito desenvolvimento divertido e interessante! Ansiosa por isso.

E DEUS, Regina vai ficar FURIOSA quando descobrir que o Villeneuve enfeitiçou Killian e Sean para não contarem a ela o que ELE fez.

Estou pronta, River Ramsey, que venha o quarto e quinto livro dessa série PERFEITA!

Bros and witch #3

Transitional work, third of five. This episode was an emotional let down after the laugh out loud atmosphere of the first two. It's dark, depressing and somewhat boring. I'm not even sure I can identify a plot or even a theme. Spoilers: the whole book is spent bemoaning Killian's potential fall to the werewolf virus, and Elias' secret mate bond. Where is it going? What's the point? Then there's the introduction of Knox and his council investigation, huh? Too bad because I really loved the earlier books.

Honestly I just keep reading these for shits and giggles

[Charlie · Rating 2 out of 5]

its a filler book - one key event happened in the first 15% and that's main plot movement in the whole book. a lot of nothing happens after.

5 Star - Couldn't put this book down. Its stay up late reading and be late to work good.
4 Stars - Couldn't put this book down but I still got a goodnights sleep
3 Stars - An enjoyable read that took me a few days to a week to finish
2 Stars - An okay book that I struggled to get through in places - next book is still on my TBR list
1 Stars - DNF

More somber than HEX or SHIFT, DO YOU EVEN CURSE, BRO still keeps the momentum rolling. The fellas seem a tiny bit smarter, but still have their endearing, incredibly himbo-rich personalities I’ve come to really love—and want to bake them cookies and grill them steaks and . . . other stuff 🫦. Although there are lighter moments and sexy times, things get pretty intense & emotionally deep in this ‘episode’. Perfection.

After book 1, I asked myself what would be my perfect picture of where Villeneuve would fit into Pack Lupe Tau’s madness — because in my heart I just know he fits with them in some way. His patience feels more like an irritated older brother. And I was spot on 🖤 (Currently feeling quite smug about it 😉).

River Ramsey absolutely sinks their claws deeper into the chaos, heartbreak, and addictive tension in Do You Even Curse, Bro? and honestly? It delivers everything paranormal romance readers crave wounded bonds, terrifying magic, emotional devastation, protective alphas, and a heroine finally learning her worth after years of being used.

What makes this book shine most is the evolution of the Bonded relationships. The dynamic between Killian, Sean, Rowan, and Micah already carries emotional weight, and those connections are tested in brutal ways. Sean’s injuries and Killian’s terrifying transformation arc create a constant undercurrent of fear and desperation. Watching the pack struggle to hold themselves together while trying not to lose each other emotionally is painfully addictive.

And then comes the reveal:

There are five of them.

That twist injects a whole new layer of tension into the story. The mysterious fifth Bonded adds angst, emotional conflict, and slow-burning intrigue, completely changing the group's chemistry. His deliberate emotional distance and refusal to fully connect create some of the strongest tension. Every interaction crackles with unresolved pain, attraction, and distrust.

Regina’s journey is another standout aspect. After surviving life as a coven siphon under an abusive ex, she’s still carrying fear, trauma, and survival instincts that don’t disappear overnight. Ramsey never rushes her healing, which makes her growth feel authentic. She’s vulnerable without being weak, and her determination to save Killian despite her own terror makes her impossible not to root for.

This series thrives on emotional intimacy just as much as physical chemistry. The possessiveness, protective instincts, hurt/comfort moments, and fractured trust all make the romantic arcs feel consuming. Ramsey understands that tension is often more powerful than instant gratification, and the emotional payoff hits harder because of it.

River Ramsey delivers a darker, more emotionally intense story that deepens both the mythology and the relationships while leaving readers desperate for the next book. Equal parts heartbreaking, magical, and addictive, this is paranormal romance at its most emotionally chaotic in the best possible way.

Was it a bad idea to start this book at 11pm on a Monday? Absolutely. Did I stop reading? Absolutely not.

This was one of those dangerously entertaining, fast paced reads that convinces you “just one more chapter” is a reasonable life choice until you realize it’s way past any responsible bedtime.

What really kept me going were the characters, especially the himbos who had me laughing out loud in between the more serious scenes. The author balances humor and tension so well that I’d be giggling one minute and gripping the pages the next. It’s a surprisingly fun emotional roller coaster for a weeknight.

One character, Vyse, has the best assessment of some of Regina's mates: 😂

About Sean: "I've never seen such low brain activity in someone who wasn't asleep." "Dumb as a box of rocks, but admirably loyal. "

About Micah : "This one's got a bit more going on upstairs."

I'll have to agree that Sean is probably the least smartest but he's hilarious. His himbo energy is unmatched, and I loved every second of it. And if loving these chaotic, loyal, occasionally brain cell deficient wolves is wrong, I don’t want to be right.

The professsor (Elias) is the dark one with an even darker history. He adds a whole new edge to the story. The idea of him joining the harem has so much potential. He’s intense, complicated, and the kind of character who could shake up the entire dynamic in the best way. I was absolutely rooting for him to be pulled into the chaos. He plays the straight man perfectly against the rest of the comedic crew.

Looking forward to the next one. (Anyone else interested in Sadie an Vyse having a thing??)

[Deonna Balentyne · Rating 4 out of 5]

I am in shock over the events of this book. Though I knew about the extra situation for the bond ceremony, well I guessed correctly. I was suspicious that Elias was a dragon but the fact that he is a mix breed was cool. My heart aches for all of them and the fact that Killian is cursed right now by the werewolf bite. Elias also seems so lonely and I really hope that all of them find a HEA. A lot happens in this book and it feels like the story is just getting warmed up. The world building seems a bit closed off for the expanse of the world but I like that we are getting a better feel for the characters themselves. I feel like the college experience is a bit of a mess and confused about the whole quarterback thing and how that stuff barely matters in this book and how it is not needed. Like the fact that there are no games and that quarterback gets away with never being in class and stuff. I feel like those details didn't fit the story and these characters well. Also the fact no one outside of the bond notices that Sean is suddenly missing an eye. College life would be more involved with a frat house and a quarterback, popularity would be present I would think. But I love their personal connections and things. I am enjoying getting to know the guys and watch them and Regina grow as people.

This is a fun series to read and I look forward to the next book to see what happens next.

Review for book 3 "Do You Even Curse, Bro?" In the series "Bros and the Witch" by River Ramsey (the gr link and bk cover pic are not quite right at the time of this review)

I'm still enjoying this fun and interesting rh shifter series. Each book has been about 250 pages so they don't take long to read but it feels like there needs to be a lot more books in the series but apparently there is only one more. This explains the light feel to the romance and why it's not more intense. Over all group dynamics and emtional relationship details are ignored to focus on plot and indivisual character development. It's not completed at the time of this review.

There are plenty of silly moments that keep this from being a dark and broody story. The characters are diverse and likeable even in their obviousness. This has multi POV and each characters own moments of self-deprecating and humour at their own expense allowed me to find them endearing and enjoyable. I'm eager for the next instalment of this series to find out how the pack evolves and survives.

Note when I wrote this review the goodreads links are all messed up. This review is for book 3
Some of the links in the series don't go to a complete author page either. That's if you manage to find the other books in the series

[Isabella Provenzano 🐛🧚‍♀️💗☕️📚 · Rating 5 out of 5]

🐺💗🧝‍♀️🐉🧜‍♂️🧟This series has officially reached the point where I would read 800 pages of these characters doing literally anything. Loved this third installment. Villenueve, Killian, and Sean are such compelling characters, and the whole book was an incredibly fun read. But- it was way too short!! (although I appreciate getting something instead of waiting longer so 🤷‍♀️) Spoilers ahead: I genuinely cannot believe it ended on that cliffhanger. I had read theories about Villenueve being a dragon and potentially their mate, but the reveal still completely caught me off guard. One of my favorite parts was seeing River Ramsey shift perspectives into Villenueve’s POV her writing changes so seamlessly to reflect his elegant, controlled mind, and it made his chapters especially immersive. Ramsey somehow made me both deeply suspicious of Villenueve and completely obsessed with him at the same time.

I did miss some of the academia atmosphere and playful setup that made the first two books feel so cozy and addictive, but this installment was still wildly entertaining in its own way. Now I just have to figure out how to survive the long wait for the next book. I need the next installment asap, preferably delivered directly into my bloodstream.

[Amanda Showalter · Rating 3 out of 5]

I was so waiting for this book. I got it as soon as it released. Had a spot ready on my Kindle unlimited to borrow it right away. I felt like the story did not progress much. It starts off for the last book ends at the fight. But the blurb basically tells you what happened in the fight. We knew what was coming with our lovely buttoned up professor. If you didn’t see that coming a mile away then you weren’t paying attention to the other books. But I highly was happy about it at least. Because I do love dragons. But then I feel like most of the rest of the book was just spent on them in the professor‘s house. Nothing really got figured out. Except for the little bit of the cliffhanger at the end and the meeting of the Lich. Which you can see what’s going on there. I do like the siren and the interest he has in their little “Morticia” it would be interesting to see if that develops into anything even though she doesn’t seem like she would be interested at this time.

But still, this is the first series I have ever read where they actually do have dumb, and I mean very dumb basically “himbros” and our lovely siren sums up their brain activity nicely lol.

Book three dives deeper into the plot, putting spice on the backburner. Not only do I like the shift, but it also makes sense given where the plot is going. 👏

River's ability to swap the tone/voice depending on which POV we're in is amazing. I loved seeing Elias perspective, although him getting involved the way he does wasn't a surprise to me.
While Sean is part of the pack so it makes sense for him to have a POV as well, he seems very one dimensional. How he handled the scar situation shows that he's thoughtful, but I would have liked them discussing to add a deeper connection and open the door for future character development?
I would've also liked seeing more of Kill's perspective, there was a lot of potential for tension/anger/yearning there that would have improved my rating of Do You Even Curse, Bro.

In terms of story/plot I'm 100% obsessed though, and this book's cliffhanger is worse than the previous one! 😱

[ThatBookBratBethany · Rating 5 out of 5]

I absolutely love this series!

During the state of things around us, an escape has been more important to my mental health than ever before. This series has been the best. There's the perfect amount of trauma/drama to keep it interesting while it provides so many giggles and also some heat. I love our FMC, and she is just so strong and relentless. I aspire to be as strong as her going forward. I love her & her guys so much. They each provide a different vibe to the story in unique ways, and I love it. Thank you, River & BookSirens, for providing this reading opportunity. I 10/10 recommend jumping into this adventure.

[Virginia Rodriguez · Rating 5 out of 5]

Here's the thing, I love this series, I really liked this book BUT I feel like even with my 5 stars I have to give a heads up. This book is mostly a build-up for what will be book 4, is it a bad thing? Absolutely not, but it does mean the plot moves slow and not much happens in this one that will make you go "wow". Since the series is meant to be 5 books I do not mind it, specifically because it does set up Elias's character in what I think is a solid and fluid way of actually making him a character and not just a side character. So as a setting the book is great, as part of the series it is good, by itself I would consider it weak.

[mspotts · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was SO good. All the plot development that was missing the previous book is jam packed into this one.

We finally get to learn the secret identity behind the mysterious Professor Villeneuve and it's a great one.

Plus some great action/fight scenes, a bit of angst and the relationships between Regina and her pack deepen even more.

This one ends on a BRUTAL cliffhanger, so I can only hope Book 4 comes out sooner than later.

I genuinely love where this is going and highly recommend others give it a try. It's such a good palate cleanser!

Loved the book, but it ain't over. It starts where we last left off, portal, nasties, battle. Kyle and his band of 'We figured out we suck without you' witches show up and it is on. Kyle, being Kyle, brought along a resurrected werewolf, the same one that attacked Reginia. Git. Trying to keep it away from his mate and packmates, Killian distracts it a little too well. By the time the battle is done (a big ally shows up, guesses?) Killian is close to death.

That's all I'm telling you. Much more is revealed and not much goes right. We are left up in the air and Regina just found out that... Psych! I was given an advanced copy of this book by the author. My review is voluntary.

3.85

This series continues to be engaging and incredibly fun. I often find myself smiling or even laughing out loud—especially whenever Sean is involved. This helped lighted this third book which felt more somber than the other two. My only critique is the length of this third installment. It felt quite brief, and the ending came across as somewhat abrupt, limiting its contribution to the series. I received an ARC and am leaving this review voluntarily. I’m still looking forward to continuing with the rest of the series.

Things pile up with no resolution

“We form a wall of teeth and muscle between these sparkly dickwads and our mate…”

The story gets more complicated and serious, but there's still plenty of time for being adorable himbos. There's some emotional and relationship growth. A lot happens in the beginning five chapters, but then the pace feels like it's crawling for the rest of the book. To some extent it's necessary for that growth, but it's also frustrating because nothing much happens.

I didn't notice any errors, and the next book will be an automatic preorder.

[Rouchelle Robertson · Rating 5 out of 5]

Yet again, I was hanging on the edge of my seat waiting to see what happened and excitedly reading this book in one sitting.
Regina and her boys are all a great combination of silly, serious and chaos. I love visiting this world everytime and cannot wait to come back and see how this adventure will culminate.
All too often with this series, I shake my head at some of the silliness of Sean, Rowan and Micah. But it makes for some good laugh out loud moments. Definitely read this series if you need some giggles and laughs along with a little bit of seriousness.

[Melissa · Rating 2 out of 5]

Still not a complete story. I think I am done.

I was disappointed that the crazy powerful dragon was so slow to respond when the coven and werewolf broke into his territory (the school grounds). He also did nothing when that weirdo council member invaded his house and threatened to take the girl away. The dragon should have smoked him and sent him back close to dead (if not totally dead), not just whined about how he has a mate and this guy shouldn't have barged in on his territory. I'm losing respect for the dragon by the page!

I don’t have a favorite but if I did, it would be Sean. I have never related to a character more than the vending machine scene. These characters have nestled their way right into my heart. Also, Villeneuve is exactly what I hoped he’d be, and I looooooooved the grand reveal. I am having a blast reading this series and can’t wait to see what the next installment brings.

Excellent and Far Too Short!

I have been hooked on this series from the very first time I read the title of Book One. I devour the latest as soon as I can get my electronic fingers on it. This book was no exception. I laughed, I cried, and I fell more in love with the MCs than I thought possible. My only complaint? I am not remotely ready to leave this story for now. I am very eagerly anticipating Book Four!!

[Jen · Rating 4 out of 5]

Action and unresolved mystery.
This is cinematic writing that feels immersive. Action-packed battle and one mystery solved right from the start and then the story shifts to a holding pattern. I am keen to read the completed series. I love the books by this author, and this is no exception. These characters are developing well in a world that has a solid setting.

Really good

This installment of the Bros and the Witch series was riveting. The tone of book three is more serious and less humorous while still maintaining its fun and engaging storytelling. Some truths came to light that filled me with anticipation for the next in the series. It was a really good read, I'm looking forward to the next book.

[Julie Shuff · Rating 4 out of 5]

I liked this book a lot and I’m especially excited to see where it goes with Villaneuve so I’m looking forward to the final book. HOWEVER this book is a lot more gory and heavy right from the bat. Which isn’t a massive dealbreaker and I’m glad it has a solid plot but it wasn’t as escapist as the others.

Side note I’m completely rooting for Vyse and Sadie! Their banter would be god tier.

[Anastacia Newton · Rating 5 out of 5]

Himbos beware

Action packed and fast paced, this is a good story. While it is pretty surface level and we don't get the deep thoughts and actions, it still capturd my attention and made me want to know where the story was going. I really enjoy the characters and want to know what happens next.

[Brittany · Rating 3 out of 5]

not as gripping

This one didn’t hold my attention like the previous two have. It kind of drags in my opinion. There isn’t much more relationship building, just silly situations that never really moved the story forward. We’re still in the same spot as the last ending in my opinion.

[Kelli · Rating 5 out of 5]

Literally smacked my husband because of the ending

So good!! But the ending snuck up on me. That mid-scene cliffhanger! Gah! My poor oblivious husband happened to be sitting next to me, and, well, he was in the strike zone when I flung my arm out in frustration haha. Book 4 can't come out fast enough because I desperately need more of Regina and her guys.

So so good!

I am loving this cute, sweet series! Each book gets better and better! I love Regina and all her mates. Finally, we get to learn more about Elias, and things are getting interesting! Can’t wait for the next book! We have to do something for Killian and I’m so excited to see what they do!
