3.0 STARS
Overall, this might have not been the best first choice to introduce me to the full on romance/chick-lit genre (in terms that the romance is the main plot, and not like the other romantasy books I've read in which the romance is a bit more of a B plot.)
That's not saying the book is bad, I can definitely see why a lot of people love this book! There was just a lot of spice that I was not initially expecting, which isn't the books fault by any means! It just meant I had to skip a couple of pages, haha! But, in terms of the good aspects of the book, Misery Lark (Darkness Dementia Raven Way) was a pretty entertaining character! She is sassy and gives no-fucks about most everything which is kind of refreshing to see from a character. She very much reminded me of a typical emo kid, which sounds bad, but I enjoyed a lot. I do wish that Lowe had a little more personality other than mysteriously aloof Alpha-Man, since I feel like we should've been able to know him a little more.
This read like a Wattpad fanfiction, but honestly, I'm okay with that!

I've avoided the fantasy genre for years, so this was my first one. I never thought vampires and werewolves would be for me, but after reading a few other books by the same author, I decided to give this a try. And I have to say, I was completely thrilled. I fell in love with the characters after just a few pages. The world is interesting—full of hatred and intrigue—with an unexpected love story woven in. I especially liked that the characters weren't naive or foolish; they spoke their minds frankly, which kept the novel from being a silly, simple story. After reading this, I'm definitely going to explore the fantasy genre more.

I really enjoyed this book. I rounded up the star rating but felt this was a 3.5 book for me. I did feel like it was a tad predictable in the aspect that I could tell who were the villain's in the story. I enjoyed the plot and character growth. I think each character was well thought out. I hope to see more of these characters and world!

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