One of People’s Best Books to Read in February

A dangerous alliance between a Vampyre bride and an Alpha Werewolf becomes a love deep enough to sink your teeth into in this new paranormal romance from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Love, Theoretically and The Love Hypothesis.


Misery Lark, the only daughter of the most powerful Vampyre councilman of the Southwest, is an outcast—again. Her days of living in anonymity among the Humans are over: she has been called upon to uphold a historic peacekeeping alliance between the Vampyres and their mortal enemies, the Weres, and she sees little choice but to surrender herself in the exchange—again...

Weres are ruthless and unpredictable, and their Alpha, Lowe Moreland, is no exception. He rules his pack with absolute authority, but not without justice. And, unlike the Vampyre Council, not without feeling. It’s clear from the way he tracks Misery’s every movement that he doesn’t trust her. If only he knew how right he was….

Because Misery has her own reasons to agree to this marriage of convenience, reasons that have nothing to do with politics or alliances, and everything to do with the only thing she's ever cared about. And she is willing to do whatever it takes to get back what’s hers, even if it means a life alone in Were territory…alone with the wolf.

Ali Hazelwood has become my favorite author. Honestly no one does romance like her and NOW FANTASY romance? What can’t she do? She needs to write every book ever because WOW. Bride blew me away. It had the right amount of tension and spice and romance, comedy, everything!
I thought there was the right amount of world building, she made it easy to understand the world without getting too complex like some fantasy books.
Overall I give this 5 stars. I ate this hook up. It is a fun read like all her books.

3.5 ⭐️ I mostly enjoyed this book. Misery was a compelling character and the storyline was very interesting. There was a *lot* of spice in this book and some of it felt unnecessary. If you like a heavily smutty book you’ll enjoy this, but I found it to be overkill.

It’s been a little while since I got a whole weekend to read at home so when I was finally able to, I devoured this one. The multi-species world is an interesting one and I knew I was going to like the dynamic but didn’t realize how much. I thoroughly enjoyed the mystery that got mixed into this one and I got surprised with a lot of the outcomes. I loved Lowe and could see the feelings he had for Misery from a mile away but loved how she couldn’t. I was invested with how the weres and vamps operated and found it captivating to try and pick up on both of their species dynamics. Misery was an amazing character - she was tough and spunky and incredibly brave. I loved that she found herself more at home with humans and werewolves than she did her own species. It really is realistic to society and although sometimes it felt a little rushed, I loved the overall plot and loved the outcome even more.

I laughed. Like a lot. The humor in the book is eerily similar to how I speak in real life. I’m not sure what that says about me.
I could’ve done without the werewolf sexual biology lesson but now I know. So there’s that.
Overall, I enjoyed yet another Ali Hazelwood book.
