I loved the way weres and vampires and were incorporated into our current world and I enjoyed the complexities of the plot of everything but the romance. There was no getting to know each other, no romance, just love/lust-at-first-sight and way too many spicy scenes for me. Now, let me be clear, I have a VERY low tolerance for spice so ymmv, but I found the bedroom scenes to be crass, not just spicy. The words the author used to describe things were just vulgar instead of romantic. This really impacted my enjoyment of the book. :( Without those scenes it would have been 3.5 stars
The good thing is that I did not see the twists coming AT ALL. That's always fun for me, since it's rare. I also love strong platonic female relationships, and this book had a couple of those. If you don't mind a little spice or a love/lust-at-first-sight plot, then you will probably enjoy this book!

I did appreciate that Misery (atrocious name choice- Ali Hazelwood, you should serve prison time for this) and Lowe getting to know each other felt natural despite their circumstance. It could have easily dipped too deep into insta-love territory. Unfortunately I don’t think either of them really grew as people. The twists were predictable as well so watching Misery stumble into answers was a little frustrating. Like girl, of course
The book’s main selling point is that if the reader has spent any time at all on Ao3, it’s familiar territory and it’ll be an easy, quick read. I think I’m done with Ali Hazelwood now though. I don’t think she can deliver anything I will genuinely like.
