Book Review: That Time I Got Drunk and Yeeted a Love Potion at a Werewolf by Kimberly Lemming

Thank you to Orbit Books via NetGalley for a digital copy of the rerelease.

Fun, adorable, and self aware! Lemming has such a great blend of humor and romance, yet still having weight of modern politics addressed in her fantasy realm. I enjoyed how consent was addressed through this text and the complexity of it addressed through magic as a tool to provide commentary on such an important issue.

Brie and Felix had great chemistry, a bit of a grumpy/sunshine dynamic (she's the grump, he's the sunshine) and the friendships were quite sweet as well. Also, I wanted to eat so much while reading the fantastic food descriptions!

I wish more romantasy embraced humor the way Lemming did. I laughed our loud more than once reading this book. Reccomneded to those who love romance novels and love to laugh!

"The book has seen immediate success in 2023, debuting as a number one New York Times bestselling novel. Readers love the irreverent fantasy world and the witty characters trying to make a living in a villain’s evil lair. Sure, the villain equips the lair with a top-notch break room, HR, and healthcare, but there are still the trappings of a villain’s daily activities, reminding employees they work for a bad guy. If you, too, can’t get enough of this world, read on for eight funny, romantic, and fantastical books like Assistant to the Villain!

The following books like Assistant to the Villain give readers who are eagerly awaiting book two something to read in the meantime. They are a combination of fantasy romance books that have a dash of action, romance, and comedy to keep any Hannah Nicole Maehrer fan happy. I am head over heels for the odd little subgenre myself, so I guarantee these books like Assistant to the Villain will hit the spot."

After not touching a book for fun in 4 years (college); I've gotten really into reading/listening to books within the last 2 months!! Here's all the books I've read:

I just finished the final book in the Aurora Cycle series and it was AMAZING! It has bumped itself up to my second favorite book series of all time. Second only to Artemis Fowl.

Send me an ask if you'd like my review on any of these books! ❤️

• Review: Mead Mishaps series•

Y’all. You probably already know this just from the titles, but still, I will say it: these books are The Best.

They’re laugh-out-loud funny and endlessly readable and holy-whoa kinds of sexy and, just, such a damn delight. All of the FMCs are women of color, all of the MMCs are supernatural creatures of some ilk, and every single page of these oh-so spicy fantasy books is chock full of fun.

My new go-to piece of advice is to read these books tout suite – because there’s no point in denying yourself joy.

That Time I Got Drunk and Saved a Demon

This one continued to be shockingly hard to get written. Like, I took a pause to finish crocheting something while I thought and then three and a half dolls later I still wasn’t quite sure where I wanted to go with the review it self. It was a really fun book but not my usual genre and I think that’s what made it hard to grab onto what I wanted to say and how I wanted to say it. This one is…

If Mead Mishaps doesn't make it on the list of my favorite book(s) of the year I had a fucking good year reading because these books got me giggling and wheezing

[caffeinated-bibliophile]

Current setup: coffee in one of my favorite mugs, my kindle with my current read (That Time I Got Drunk and Saved a Demon by Kimberly Lemming), and my bullet journal.

I've wanted to read this for ages, but I forgot I already bought it 🤦🏻‍♀️

Romance Readathon prompt: read a romance by a BIPOC author

A 5 star read for me. It was funny, I loved Fallon and Cinnamon's dynamic. I liked the plot. The spice was good.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

That Time I Got Drunk And Yeeted A Love Potion At A Werewolf:

A 5 star read for me. Brie and Felix are adorable. Brie getting over her abandonment issues and starting to trust Felix. Alexis gets introduced and she's my absolute favorite. It was hilarious and again the spice was good and didn't overshadow the plot.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

A 5 star read for me. I adored this whole book. Alexis was a masterpiece. I was laughing a lot, it was amazing.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

A Bump in Boohail:

A 4 star read for me. A short Halloween story that I adored. Felix falling over a child? Definitely my highlight.

A very earned and deserved 5 star series.

Best Books Read in July 2023

A recap of the best books I read each month in 2023.

The Mirror Season by Anna-Marie McLemore

I read this to fulfill a requirement for class and it was so intense. Magical Realism is slowly growing on me and McLemore is an author who has really helped me appreciate the genre. This is a very loose retelling The Snow Queen but it is primarily about a girl coping with the aftermath of being sexually assaulted. Probably my favorite of their books I've read so far!

The River of Silver by SA Chakraborty

A collection of short stories related to The Daevabad Trilogy from a variety of perspectives over time. It was very enjoyable and a lighter than the original trilogy overall. Highly recommended to fans of the series!!

Honorable mention

That Time I Got Drunk and Saved a Demon by Kimberly Lemming

Such a fun book!! Essentially, this is a romance, but the fantasy aspects are a lot of fun and I love the themes of consent that are very present. I love the sense of humor in Lemming's writing and look forward to more of her work in the future!

“Everyone loves a good villain. One who cackles at the sky and shakes their fist and brings some form of doom to something or someone. It is fun to have someone to root against and root for — especially if they have a fun, cosplay-worthy aesthetic. With all that goes into stanning our favorite villains of all time, there is something to be said about examining the superficiality of villainy.

Like many character types, villains have often been visually identifiable. They have some costume or way of moving or physical features that mark them as villains in the story. Villains look bad or evil. Villains just look like villains. This is where some of the problems start with who we assign villainy to in storytelling. A hero versus villain narrative is often an Us versus Them set up, with Us being on the side of the hero and Them being on the side of the villain.

I recognize that sympathetic villains have recently been on the rise. I, for one, have also argued there are more generous ways of interpreting villains from our literary past. Nevertheless, when we look at the big picture of villains, they are often the othered members of society who are wrong or bad or shunned.“
