It was as mid as I expected it to be tbh. Was a fun read - or more listen - and I liked the worldbuilding with the „it‘s just a genetic mutation“ explanation for both vampirism and werewolf(ism?).

Oh by the way big surprise: we got a size kink again! I'm into that but at some point it just gets boring and predictable. Next time tall woman and small king to spice it up?

It was a bit too obvious for me from the start

that Misery is Lowes mate. Like come on I saw that coming from the wedding scene.

. Another thing that was getting blatantly obvious throughout the book is

the fact that Serena (sorry in case I butchered the name, I dunno how it is spelled) is half-werewolf.

I read my fair share of omegaverse to not be surprised by the whole were-stuff and found it well-executed. The spicy scenes were nice, though - besides the obvious - knot that special.

A very Ali Hazelwood take on the omegaverse.

Cute but extremely predictable. The characters were likeable but pretty bland and immature, and the worldbuilding mostly fell flat for me.

Very fun! 🧛🏻‍♀️ 🪢 🐺

I really enjoyed this book, and I'm very happy that I did because I was expecting to lol. Lowe and Misery were so cute and I thought their relationship was really sweet. I will say that watching people review this book and be so baffled by the whole knot situation is fucking hilarious. Like please relax you guys it's not that big of a deal lmfao. I served my time on AO3, tumblr, and Wattpad so I knew full and well what I was getting into, but still quit with the pearl-clutching. This book would've gotten a higher rating from me if I didn't feel like the ending was sooooo rushed. Like the end felt like to was going in warp speed (or maybe I was just reading really fast ahha).

Overall, I really liked it and it made me wanna read more paranormal romances lol.

For supposedly being a spicy and sexy book, nothing actually spicy or sexy happened until over halfway through. And not only that, there were only two real sex scenes so and the hottest part of the book was when?

isery was feeding off of Lowe

how that was spicy and sexy and a turn on more than the sex scenes is a little disappointing.

Also, it seems like vampires will orgasm for literally any reason, I was almost to the point of of a stiff breeze blew too hard past her, she was going to have an orgasm.

The other thing I learned is that apparently Weres like to stop mid passion to have a conversation which really kind of takes me out of it.

Also her inner monologue kept saying she wanted to punch someone so I kept waiting for her to actually punch someone. Fact that she never punched anybody is a little bit of a letdown.

Overall, this was an easy read but I wouldn't really call it all that spicy.
