Ali Hazelwood knocked it out of the park with this "romantasy"!
Bride was way much better than I had expected when I heard Hazelwood was releasing a Vampyre / Were love story. I won't lie; I did not think this would live up to her steminist romance collection, but it may have surpassed them.
Misery has to be my new favourite fictional character. Although I have some questions about this Vampyre, I shall ignore them because Misery is too hilarious to question.
One thing I will not ignore, however, is what on earth happens in the "alpha challenge"? Is it a battle to the death, some obstacle course, or a growling contest? I would have liked to know how Lowe became "alpha". Also, is Serena Lowe's and Ana's sister? Oh, and will there be a Koen and Serena sequel?
That's all my questions... well, for now!
Anyway, Bride was a hilarious read filled with some Vamprye throwbacks to the classics, like Twilight.
