I already knew within the prologue that this was a 'fated mates' type story and I was ready to DNF at any reason. I had my Vampire and Werewolf phase in high school and, honestly, was over the subjects once I graduated. It also did help that almost every single werewolf book that I've come across are along the lines of 'fated mates', so I was tired of the subject before even reading this. Then I started reading and... apparently there are still some vampire/werewolf books that I enjoy. I had a hard time putting this book down, which was amazing and bad at the same time. I had other books I needed to finish, lol.
The characters were awesome and Misery is so sassy. I love her. It really frustrated me and made me sad how much some simple communication and open-mindedness could have changed so many perspectives. It was really similar to how reality is with the racism and how everyone already had their opinions about her without even knowing her.
While this wasn't a duel POV, I still had moments of confusion where I didn't know what the hell was going on. Sometimes it would take me reading several pages before I would finally catch up to what was going on. It felt like there was a lot of needless skipping around, going from present day to her past and while sometimes that can work, it felt that most of the time it was a little out of context or that the chapter would have been fine without her reflecting on her past.
Still, I did enjoy it but I wouldn't reread it at a later date.
