Very, very close to being a full 5 stars. The end just didn't do it for me. I liked the ending, it wasn't bad. But the conflict resolution wasn't as interesting as trying to figure out the mystery during the book. I didn't find it to be predictable necessarily, but some people might.
A lot went into the sisters trying to figure out who "hexed" Mateo, but all their efforts didn't even matter in the end because none of the avenues they used are how they ended up figuring it out.The person responsible just outed themselves. 😅 (I marked that as a spoiler just in case, but it's not too explicit.)
I loved the tension and the build up of the romance. Mates as a trope, especially in werewolf romances, is usually not enjoyable for me, but it was more low-key in this book which I really appreciated.
While some of the language and behavior of the FMC was a little "young" for a 38 year old, I also feel like it made sense. She's supposed to be young at heart, nerdy, and maybe just a little weird to some people, but Mateo loves her and embraces her for it. As a 30-something who feels like they'll be young at heart literally forever, I appreciate how the FMC is accepted for who she is and what she likes and is encouraged to be herself.
Finally, I have to say I loved that this book took place in New Orleans. While I don't love NOLA all that much in real life, I appreciate it's culture and how fun it is to use as a setting, especially for witches, werewolves, and vampires. My hometown of Lafayette was even mentioned in this book! It made me homesick and I especially miss the Cajun food.
