What an introduction to marriage of convenience! I was not expecting to love this vampire-werewolf romance, and read it partly because Ali Hazelwood’s books are so much fun to read and partly because I wanted a Halloween read. I ended up loving it. Misery and Lowe are in my mind the perfect execution of the marriage of convenience trope (though admittedly I think they’re my introduction to it), which reminds me a lot of my favorite trope fake dating. Their banter and chemistry are knock your socks off fantastic. I also loved the fantasy world building in this one, and I am obsessed with Misery and Lowe’s baby sister Ana’s relationship. Such a fun read for Halloween or any time of year!
