li Hazelwood has written a book out of my 14-year-old Wattpad-loving dreams. Werewolves and Vampires in an enemies-to-lovers book, ugh! The plot was very tight in the beginning, it drags in the middle and gets predictable by the end. I read Bride on audiobook with a fantastic narrator.

I enjoyed the romance and the romantic scenes between Misery and Lowe. But knotting?!? That's the worst werewolf stereotype out there in the ether. The worldbuilding had me wanting more, it made me want more books in this fantasy world. Misery is very naive which starts to get annoying towards the middle and end of the book. Lowe is a semi-dick head. It was clear from the beginning that Lowe was her mate, like OH SO CLEAR. I wanted more tension on that aspect, though we know that Lowe and Misery are the main characters. Also ONCE AGAIN Misery is just so damn naive. The side characters did what they needed to do in this book.

The mystery aspect of the book is part of what makes it drag. Misery finds out nothing about Serena for months and months yet it is all she talks about it in the book. I wanted a clue or something, Hazelwood should have thrown readers a bone instead of going from 0 to 100 at the end.
