Bride by Ali Hazelwood – Review

---

WOW! Ali Hazlewood the queen of STEM heroines went vampire and it was delightful! If you like well-crafted characters that are charming, multidimensional, sexy, and ultimately relatable, want your romance filled with slow burn that turns explosive, some well-written twisty plot, and have been wondering about paranormal romances. Start here. Read Bride. This is it. 

Vampire Misery who has spent the majority of her life living among humans agrees to a marriage with Lowe, the powerful Alpha werewolf of the neighboring pack after the disappearance of her best and only friend. Centuries of discontent between the wolves and vampires have left their alliance fragile at best, and both fear how married life will unfold. Unfortunately, peace is short-lived as Lowe’s baby sister is threatened and Lowe and Misery must work together to figure out who is after her. Through this single POV we see Misery learn about werewolves, herself and ultimately fall for Lowe. 

This felt like fantasy/ paranormal romance lite. The world-building was basic and easy to follow. The unique characteristics of the weres/vamps were clear and best of all we got to take Werewolf 101 right along with Misery.  If you are unsure if paranormal romance is your thing, I think this is a very safe place to start. However, this book’s paranormal elements are tame compared to other books in the genre, a plus for me but heavy paranormal romance readers may be let down. I felt there were a few places where I would love more details but overall it did not deter my overall rating. 

I read this book in 26 hours and when I finished I wanted to pick it up again, to see what I missed the first time and jump back into life with the Southwestern pack! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE be a series! I need more HEA from this world.
