Bland, boring, brutal read. Plot? There is none. World building? Consider it post war in hunger games because there’s zero world to see or build. Romance? I’ve read more romance in YA genre that was better than this. Smut ? I’ve never gotten secondhand embarrassment from smut in a book until this book. I could go on but you get the gist. One of THE most overhyped books on tiktok. I need a therapy session to fully dissect how bad this was.

4.5 stars! Holy crap I loved this book. Ali Hazelwood just has a hold on me. I don’t typically got for the vampire and the werewolf theme but this book had me from the get go.
Fun, creative, sexy, and full of drama. I could have done without the sappy and explicit ending, but I presume that’s a Hazelwood standard.
Such an easy read, but I loved it!
She fell, he fell harder... not really a slow burn in sight, but the *wanting* 🥵
Unexpectedly happy I waited this long to pick it up, happy with the easy read and that #2 is said to be out next month!!!

Ugh, Lowe is one of the biggest green flags I’ve ever read. Actually, scratch that, he’s the whole forest. The only thing that could have launched this book into the stratosphere would’ve been getting his POV! I mean, I could feel his yearning for Misery even through her perspective, but hearing it in his own voice would’ve made such a difference.
And Misery? Freaking amazing. I love how, despite being guarded and jaded from the way she’s been treated her whole life, she still shows up for the people she loves. The fact that she doesn’t shy away from adding more people to that inner circle, and how fiercely she loves with her whole heart!! UGGGHHH, I just adore her character.
Now, don’t even get me started on Lowe. This man is obsessed with Misery, but never in a domineering or creepy way. His first thought is always what’s best for her, what would make her happy. Honestly, this is the kind of man you’d want as a partner.
I also love how this book spins Vampyres and Werewolves. Ali Hazelwood really created her own lore here, and it works so well. I already know I’ll be picking up the next book the moment it comes out!

I'm so glad I read this book and so happy it was part of book club. It has been a rollercoaster of emotions and I loved the world and it took me back to my Wattpad days. Honestly would definitely reread this in future ❤️
