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!

This book was an entertaining intro to the omegaverse! The politics and backstory of the vampires vs weres vs humans was really interesting, and I loved seeing Misery come to love the werewolves and their culture. I wish some concepts had been explained a little more. I enjoyed these characters but they didn’t have a lot of depth. While I liked the romance for the first 3/4 of the book, I really hated the relationship dynamic toward the end and how Lore lied and gaslit Misery once their relationship progressed 🙄 obviously that resolved but I just didn’t like how the relationship evolved overall when things got sexual, or how easy it was for her to forgive him, or how clueless he was about his poor decision. Overall, this was a fun read, but I feel like there is more that could have made this a really great book in this paranormal romance category.

A very quick read, fun vibes so even though despite all the trigger warnings it’s a light read. Also it’s not omegaverse, just regular old werewolf knotting which pleased me in my reclusive fandomy heart because I do not want that trope to go public! Some bits were predictable, but overall a good read.
