Addictive and sexy. Really liked the view of vampires being a unique species rather than undead humans - a nice world building twist!

This is a fantasy romance between a werewolf and a vampire, who are wed in order to create a peaceful alliance between traditional enemies. There is also a mystery regarding the main character’s best friend who is missing without a trace. There is very graphic sex, including mild kink. There were several joking references to suicide and self harm.

The author used several words that are stigmatizing from a mental health perspective, such as bonkers, unhinged, and losing one’s mind. There were also several jokes about taking one’s life, and some references to self harm.

I binged this book so hard. It is exactly what my brain wanted right now. I loved the characters and watching their feeling unfurl. A win to say the least. Also, her smuttiest book yet!

I love Ali Hazelwood’s work! While this is a paranormal romance, it has unique, less structured werewolf pack dynamics than other, similar stories. Iykyk
