A review by offmyredcarpet
Bride by Ali Hazelwood
3.0
It was fine. Aspects of it were very enjoyable, others not so much. Every paragraph tried hard for humor and felt forced. Definitely reads like a rom com author decided to swap out the MCs with vamps and shifters.
What I liked:
-My favorite trope: the folly of inherent bias
-The very principled MMC
-The FMC’s upbringing that informs her world view and gives her a sad acceptance of her existence.
-That she eventually finds a place of belonging
What I disliked:
-They’re wolf shifters not werewolves. This is a hill I will die on. The latter sounds cool but they are not interchangeable beings.
-There’s so much filler
-Sometimes the dialogue is hard to tell who’s speaking
-Continuity error with regard to shifting
-Convenient plot development at the climax
-The constant sarcasm that is a forced attempt at humor
