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.

I LOVE Ali Hazelwood and her books, but this book just wasn't for me and it's my least favorite of hers. I didn't feel connected with the characters, I didn't feel the connection between them. Maybe it's me, maybe it's them, who knows 😂
But the knotting thing was just... NOPE. Knot for me. I haven't read anything like this before and I definitely wasn't expecting it, but I cringed so hard when they were doing stuff and the descriptions were just... not it. I was really excited for a fantasy book of Ali's, but this one just didn't live up to my expectations.
It was nostalgic to all the werewolves books I used to read. I loved it. Misery was fun, sassy, and just wanted to find her missing sister. So good.
I really wanted this book to live up to the hype, but I honestly struggled to finish the book. I felt there was a lack of character development and description. I think Misery might have had blonde hair? All I remember is that the vamps had purple eyes and blood. I also thought there were some contradictions throughout the book. This supposed rivalry between vamps and weres; the wolves were basically the top of the food chain and the vamps were at the bottom as they had nothing going for them. The vamps were pretty much just weak humans with a taste for blood. So to me it was strange how a big bad wolf was scared of a vamp who could only bare their fangs. It had promise, and hopefully (with how this book ended) if there is a second book the author will do a better job with creating characters.
