The writing was done well, and written for knotting beginners. Not the typical rules for vampires and werewolves which I really liked.

Ali Hazelwood, it seems I’ve grown quite fond of you. You come to me as a long-lost friend whom I once picked apples with in papa’s orchard.

I could not put this book down. I absolutely adored the characters. Misery being naive to Lowe's feelings was truly believable, which is something that I feel like a lot of authors struggle to pull off.

 I had fun reading this, don't get me wrong, however I couldn’t understand what was going on half the time and when I did, I felt like I still had something missing. I still laughed out loud and blushed at what was happening between Lowe and Misery, but I just could knot understand most of the things. I thought it would be more romance focused, but it was more politics which I don’t mind if I understand it. I did like reading the reveal for Misery’s friend, but it wasn’t that shocking since most of the time Misery just seemed to tolerate her, so I didn’t feel my heart tug.

The spice did get me. I've never read a book like this, and everyone kept talking about knots which I did know what it was about, but it still was unexpected. And the things Lowe said and Jesus Christ. I was reading that scene while on a call with my boyfriend and he kept laughing at me because of my reactions. Despite Lowe not being my favorite Ali Hazelwood man he is still in the top (I’ve only read three).

Overall, it was a fun read which is what I expected. I didn't expect it to be a literary masterpiece and that’s fine even the story didn’t take itself seriously and I enjoyed it.

I love this author, especially her STEM romances, but this romantasy was a nice change of pace.  I don't read many vampire/werewolf books, but this was fun and steamy.

War jetzt kein literarisches Meisterwerk, aber durchaus sehr unterhaltsam mit einem flüssigen Schreibstil, der einen praktisch durch die Seiten fliegen ließ.
Die Protagonistin ist mir manchmal etwas auf die Nerven gegangen, weil sie nicht verstanden hat,
wer die Gefährtin des Alpha ist
und man das als Leser schon von Anfang an wusste, aber da sie nicht sehr viel über
die Werwölfe
wusste, konnte man es ihr sehr lange Zeit verzeihen, nur irgendwann hätte theoretisch auch sie es merken müssen
(jedenfalls früher, als sie es getan hat)
.
Es waren aber auch Plottwists dabei, die nicht unbedingt vorhersehbar waren.
Insgesamt hat es mich ganz gut unterhalten, deswegen ⭐⭐⭐.5

It’s like if “Underworld” was a Rom-Com, with less leather and more peanut butter.
