Bride by Ali Hazelwood

4.75

YES, YES, YES. Ali Hazelwood has won me back with this monster romance. After reading Love on the Brain, I was a little less than impressed because I felt that it was basically The Love Hypothesis all over again. However, I feel Hazelwood has found her stride and this is what she needs to be writing from now on (I mean, can we get a sequel with Serena and Koen). This was such a fun read and I enjoyed almost every minute of it. I loved the marriage of convenience aspect between a vampyre and werewolf. It’s no surprise that vampyres and werewolves are supposed to be enemies, so this had some elements of “enemies to lovers.” Learning about this paranormal world was fun but I do wish it had a little bit more world building, we really only got that the humans, vampyres, and werewolves stay in their designated regions and are “okay” with one another but mostly keep to themselves. This was definitely a slow burn, which you would expect in a marriage of convenience. *SLIGHT SPOILER* When the mention of werewolves having mates, I pretty much guessed which way it was going to go, but it didn’t ruin it for me. It made me want to keep reading and find out what happened. This is what Ali Hazelwood needs to write and I want more monster romance from her in the future!
