A review by wickedgrumpy
Bride by Ali Hazelwood

dark emotional medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix

3.0

There were parts that I liked about the world building, though it could have used more depth and then there was the plot which I thought was rather predictable.  It was first and foremost a romance but at times it tried to be a mystery and so it felt a bit choppy and displaced at times.  It was fine.
