When Lucian’s kicked to the curb and Ryder’s suddenly available, there’s a lot of sex, but little romance. Sammy spends literally half the book with Lucian, with Ryder solidly in the ‘straight and completely untouchable’ category. The romance is wildly different from what I’m typically used to, and not in a good way. Finding out who they really were and what they were up to was what drove my interest in the book. Best of all, I was hooked by the mystery surrounding Ryder and Lucian. Sammy was relatable and his powers were cool.
I don’t think it would be a good reread.Īfter my horrible experience rereading Spell Cat, I was a little hesitant to read Brush With Catastrophe.Ryder constantly turning to sex instead of answering Sammy’s questions.Time jump between books not addressed at first.Romance between Ryder and Sammy went from 0 to 60 in a flash.Main romance didn’t start until halfway through the book.Sexual assault and rape that weren’t addressed.Good to see the changes in the witching community since the last book.The occasional points of view from Ryder and Lucian kept me curious.The mystery surrounding Ryder and Lucien kept me hooked.But is that witch also a devil-a devil who can bring down Sammy’s whole community and everyone he loves? And why the hell does Ryder keep changing? Aloysius, the black cat familiar, always backs a winner. Then Sammy paints an angel who turns out to be a witch. One night he paints a gorgeous guy who turns out to be his secret crush, the human Ryder, but Ryder’s changed so much he’s almost unrecognizably beautiful.
Sammy feels like a total loser with a worthless ability. Granted, the “prophetic” paintings he creates at night always come true, but they never predict anything important. Where other supernaturals can bring down lightning and manifest wealth, Sammy can paint. Sammy Raphael is a crappy witch, and on top of that, he can’t seem to get a boyfriend.
