“You're not a problem, Misery. You're a privilege.“

Ali’s first paranormal romance book, which I immediately saw once I was in a bookstore and didn’t even bother thinking if I should buy or not. Ali really is one of my must-buy author so when she came out with this book, the internet exploded. People were buying it immediately and rating it so high. Sadly, it was not that much for me. Maybe it was hyped-up but for me, maybe it was just not my type of book. I love Twilight growing up, that's for sure. I thought I'd love this too since it's more of that type of book. But to be honest, I was just lost. I think you have to know a bit of the "omega-verse" or what it's called to understand what the hell are they talking about. I needed to research and browse through reddit to understand what knotting is because they don't explain it in the book. So when I came to that page, I was just....lost. I was like...why just not get together? What really is the problem? I thought they'd be explaining it in the next few chapters but sadly, not. But don't worry, I did love the connection between the two main characters and the other side characters. Plot-wise, it's okay, could have been better. I was just there to see what happens between the main characters. The ending was a meh for me as well. What really elevated my rating was simply the get-together of the main characters and the funny/witty lines.

Overall, it's okay.
