I’m finally out of my reading slump! I have been slowly finishing the multiple books I have started. As my reading habits have changed, I realized I can’t read more than one book at once. It ends up slowing me down. If I end up not liking a book or not getting into the book right away, I need to be better at putting it away and reading something else. With that being said, I credit Wolf Gone Wild as one of the books that helped me move out of my slump. Wolf Gone Wild is a fantasy romance centered on a witch trying to break a hex placed on a stubborn werewolf.

Evie Savoie is a hex breaker. Evie is one of the older sisters in her witch’s coven. Based in New Orleans, Evie and her family run a variety of businesses, including a storefront and a bar. During a shift, she’s sought out by Mateo Cruz, a werewolf who’s been unable to change into his wolf, and it’s causing him stress. Mateo has to constantly fight off his wolf persona daily, which is interfering with his art commissions. Evie agrees to help Mateo, which leads to them getting closer, along with uncovering the mystery of who placed the hex on Mateo.

While Wolf Gone Wild is technically a romance, I felt that there were enough fantasy world-building elements within the story. Wolf Gone Wild introduces Evie’s family, along with each of Evie’s sisters and their magical abilities. I liked that while the romance is the center of the story, many other interesting aspects kept my attention throughout the book. As far as the characters themselves, I liked Evie. She’s independent, she doesn’t take any bullshit from anyone, and she has her own hobbies that keep her busy. She’s a comic fan, and it’s shown through several scenes that she’s trying to make her own comic. I thought Mateo was an interesting character, too, but I felt I didn’t know as much about him as I did about Evie.

I liked Wolf Gone Wild. It wasn’t my favorite book this year, but I’m glad I read it. I think Wolf Gone Wild sets up the series as the future romance books focus on Evie’s siblings. I want to read Jules’s story as she is the oldest sister, and it’s hinted that she has a fling with a vampire. I rated Wolf Gone Wild four stars on Goodreads.
