How to Help a Hungry Werewolf: A Novel (The Sanctuary for Supernatural Creatures Book 1)

by Charlotte Stein

About this book

What We Do in the Shadows with the small town feels of Gilmore Girls in this swoon-worthy romance that will leave readers delightfully cozy and hungry for more.

When Cassandra Camberwell returns to her hometown of Hollow Brook to clear out her late grandmother’s ramshackle old house, the last thing she expects is Seth Brubaker on her doorstep. Her former best friend was responsible for the worst moment of her high school life, and she can’t imagine he wants to do anything but torment her all over again.

Until she unearths the real reason this annoyingly gorgeous beast of a man keeps hanging around: he’s an actual werewolf, who’s certain she’s the witch that will ease his suffering. But Cassie just isn’t sure if she can trust him again. So Seth offers a pact: he’ll teach her all about her undiscovered magic, and she will brew the potions he needs. No feelings, no funny business, just a witch and a werewolf striking a deal.

Totally doable. Until they get hit with a do-or-die mating bond. And now the heat is rising, in between fights with formers bullies and encounters with talking raccoons. They just have to not give in. Unless giving in just might be the very thing they never knew they always wanted.

A-dork-able

Love the build up in the relationships, dorkiness, and the level of spice is perfect! Never thought I would be worried about a microwave... Pod is amazing and needs a good cuddle! This was definitely a story I could connect to and it wasn't \"choreographed\" I swear I will never forget that lol! Highly recommend! )

Pretty good

I really enjoyed this book but it lost me for a bit in the middle. Then it picked back up and hooked me attention again. Cassie and Seth were good characters. Very likable and great chemistry. This is my first book by this author. )

Great story, but painful to read

February 17, 2025

The writing style did not work for me. This is such a lovely story with a fantastic world that is absolutely ruined by excessive stream of consciousness by the main character. Every thought the character has is restated in subsequent slightly different sentences that add zero context or detail. It slows the narrative and beats a great story to death. Lots of words and phrases repeated to an annoying degree. If you take out all the excessive dithering I’m not sure there’s a novel here. Missed...

Fantastic first

This book is an emotional rollercoaster. The chemistry between Cassie and Seth is there from the start but past history and new found magic make this a slow burn path to an incendiary finish. A terrific first. )

Amazing Read!

January 5, 2025

\"How to Help a Hungry Werewolf\" was my very first novel by Stein, and it did not disappoint! It was a fantastical, whimsical read that had me laughing from the very first few pages, as I enjoyed the pop culture references, mythology building, and growth of the MCs. Highlights: 1) Comedy gold: the pop culture references, the snarky and sassy banter between the MCs, and the mythology building (Poor Seth collecting marble Gobblin poo) evoked more laughter than I was originally expecting and made...
