As Prime magic users, Catalina Baylor and her sisters have extraordinary powers—powers their ruthless grandmother would love to control.

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

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

Anyone else ever thrown a drink at someone’s head, only to miss entirely and hit a stranger behind them? Then have that stranger fall madly in love with you because it turned out that drink you threw was a love potion? No, just me? Well damn. Dealing with a pirate ship full of demons that just moved into town was hard enough. Now on top of it, I have to convince a werewolf that I’m not his fated mate, he’s just drugged. Easier said than done. Though I have to say, having a gorgeous man show up and do all of your chores while telling you you’re beautiful isn’t the worst thing to happen to a girl…

*Context : The protagonist and some secondary characters are kidnapped and held captive by a fantastical ‘incel’ cult. A minor battle scene during the rescue includes murder and sword violence. The heroine’s neighbour sexually harasses her, and attempts to drug her with a love potion; instead, the love interest becomes the love potions’ victim. He realises the heroine is his fated mate while under the love potion’s influence so there are multiple discussions of dubious consent (but arguably none on page).
