Misery Lark, a vanpyre who lived among Humans for many years as the Vampyre Collateral, who role was to act as leverage to prevent war and almost as a symbol for a truce. She’s never felt that she belonged anywhere. Not with the Humans who widely view vamps and blood sucking monsters who drain their victims dry and play with their corpses… She didn’t even belong with other Vamps at the Nest because they don’t accept her because she was “exposed to humans” for too long.
When her best friend Serena Paris goes missing from their joint apartment, Misery investigates and finds the name L E Moreland in the their secret language. This leads to Misery agreeing to marry Alpha Lowe Moreland in attempt to find out what became of Serena.
This was good…. The world building is different from other supernatural novels I’ve read. The extreme tension between Humans, Weres, and Vampyres and essentially constantly being on the brink of war, with the Collateral individuals being the only thing stopping it.
Their romance was slow, and one sided for a while. With all the animosity between species, Misery was unaware of so much of Were biology, customs, and life. It was so fun trying to decipher the mystery of what Serena was after and what Ana, Lowe’s little sister, has to do with it.
I liked watching Misery slowly allow herself to feel more emotion, to open up to Lowe more, to allow herself to like other people besides Serena. It makes complete sense given her upbringing.
Lowe is someone who is fair, trusting, and good at heart. I really like him. Ugh he is so cute, and unexpectedly anxious?? I did not see that coming in the book. I loved this book, the spice was very tasteful and matched where they were at in their relationship at the time. I loved this book!!
