Ali Hazelwood, you got me. This was a surprisingly fun read! 

an audiobook read 🎧

My prior experience of werewolf books was the poorly edited chapter-length facebook ads (and then entire “book”)  I repeatedly got and read for sh*ts and giggles during 2020 so I came in with an open mind, and with this being my first Hazelwood book. 

I enjoyed the premise of this novel. The world-building was easy to understand and I liked that the plot was different than previous readings: Vampire vs Werewolf vs Human with a dash of mystery. (Everything Facebook showed me was fated mate/mate reject/pregnancy combinations.) I liked the tension and progression of Misery and Lowe’s misery relationship, but the sweet surprise was Misery and Anna’s relationship which was a fun dynamic. 

I do wish the 3rd act conflict had a bit more meat to it, but the story wrapped up nicely. And my only other wish was that despite the pack’s hesitancy to share its culture, I do wish we got to see more of its dynamic. 

So about that ending….does that mean we’ll get a continuation Ali?? Perfect opportunity to get to see more of the world-building 😉
