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…

Parental abandonment recounted
Misogyny
Sexual harassment
Dubious consent discussed
Alcohol consumption
Self-injury for magic
Drugging & attempted drugging
Minor blood and injury depiction
Murder
Kidnapping & captivity
Disappearance of a friend
Cult

*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).

Until the day she awakens and sees someone peering into her bedroom window–an old gray-haired woman dressed all in black who vanishes as quickly as she appears.

Stone Heart by Katee Robert

In the city of Olympus, people only speak about Medusa in whispers. She’s Athena’s knife hand, the one sent when Athena wants someone to disappear. No one asks Medusa what she wants, but she owes Athena her life, and if staining her hands with blood is the only way to repay the debt, it’s a small price to pay. Until Athena sends her after Calypso, the mistress of the rich politician Odysseus. As far as Medusa can tell, Calypso hasn’t done anything remotely worthy of a death sentence, and her conflicted feelings only get compounded when she finally sees the woman. Calypso is beautiful and cunning and she’ll do any… Read more.
