This book had me laughing out loud throughout. My favorite thing about the entire story was the humor, relatable situations, loveable characters.
Let’s also give a round of applause to the first couple I’ve seen in an “enemies to lovers” trope where they didn’t treat each other like absolute garbage at first. Misery is one of my favorite female protagonists ever honestly. It was so refreshing to finally have a female lead who wasn’t a total b** to the male. She was still witty but in a funny, good natured way rather than the typical whiny way many leads in this genre are.
I put off reading this for the longest because it didn’t sound like something I’d enjoy. I don’t typically like any type of modern fantasy, and I had never come across a werewolf romance that wasn’t some cheap, poorly written erotica but I was immediately loving this book.
It was funny yes, but although on the surface it was lighthearted there was some real undertones of deep emotional trauma, suspense building throughout the story as they try to figure out what’s happening, and a definite unexpected plot twists (a few actually)
