Synopsis (Goodreads):
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.
Thoughts on How to Help a Hungry Werewolf: No lie, Cassie and Seth were kind of a hot mess when they got around one another. I mean, they had the big issue from high school hanging over them (which was pretty major) and they then had to throw in all their heretofore unrealized FEELINGS for one another. These two just kept tangling themselves up whenever they got near one another. It was laughably awkward even BEFORE we got to the whole werewolf/witch thing.

Which is an important thing. I mean, Seth is a werewolf. And he's not doing so hot when Cassie encounters him for the first time after returning to Hollow Brook. And this not doing so how thing made Seth make some rather questionable choices as to how to handle his little problem. Which led to Cassie getting a crash course in supernaturals.

On Cassie's end, she's suddenly hit with the fact she's a witch. And she's been one her entire life, she just didn't know it and when she stops and pays attention to that little niggle of intuition interesting things can happen. So, yeah. She's got a lot to deal with. Not the least of which is the dealing with her former best friend. The guy she trusted above all others. The one who caused her to have more than a little baggage after what happened all those years ago.

Let's just say these two have a lot they have to work through on top of dealing with Cassie's newfound abilities before they can get where they need to be.

A bumbling break-in attempt, a town that has more than a few secrets, some dirty talking, a little flying, bad guys who need a push, messy spells, sentient microwaves, a man who made a terrible mistake and is paying for it, and a lady who is being introduced into a whole new world. MAN, these two and their lack of filter when they got going was HILARIOUS!
