Kaitlyn‘s review of Bride by Ali Hazelwood
Paranormal Romance published by Ali Hazelwood 6 Feb 24
If we’re going off vibes, this was phenomenal, and I had a blast reading it. If we’re being objective, then I think the fantasy world building could have been improved, because the modern world setting still left me with a lot of questions. But I had the best time binging this, so vibes win out.
This feels completely like an Ali Hazelwood book, but in an alternate reality. I loved it and I, of course, appreciate all the random science thrown in. You wouldn’t think an arranged marriage between a vampire and werewolf would still have a science vibe, but somehow it fit so well. If you’re a fan of Ali’s books, I don’t think you’ll be disappointed in this one at all. It’s different, but so Ali!
Now for the important question: team vampire or team werewolf?
Grade: B+
Summary:
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.
