Theoretical physics? Sure. Chess? Why not. Vampires & werewolves? Count me in. If Ali Hazelwood writes it, I’m reading it.

The highlight of this book for me is definitely Misery, who was funny and resilient, making it impossible not to love her.

I like it that she was comfortable in her own skin, and didn’t worry about other’s opinions or calling her names. She was genuinely funny and wasn’t pretentious and trying to be funny. I really like her.

The love interest is fine. It isn’t anything special, but it’s cute to go along the plot line.

The villain, Misery’s father, was classic living-in-his-own-world-trying-to-do-good-by-harming-others. Not much about him is interesting.

Why Lowe pushed Misery away when she asked him if she was his mate was confusing to me. The explanation didn’t do much either. That irks me.
