Bride was very different from Ali’s previous books and I struggled getting into it and was on the thought train I would DNF it. I am so happy I did in fact finish it. 

Bride is a book about Misery and Lowe. The further into the book I got, the more enjoyable it was. I love how creative Ali gets with comebacks - especially in this book. The very last page gave me butterflies and a massive grin and I will definitely reread it in the future. It is a new take on the Vampire-Were trope, made in Ali-style. 

Misery is the typical naive girl. You’ll definitely notice that as you read and be like «Girl, see what is right in front of you please», you join her on a journey of friendship, belonging, feelings, different relationships, betrayals and finding finding who you are meant to be. I loved the character building and how the friendships developed through the book. It was a ride of emotions. Many different emotions. 

It is a great read for those wanting a new fantasy adventure with a little mystery, character development/building and a little bit of spice.
