Read Bride by Ali Hazelwood. Yesterday.
We just read something awesome. You should read it, too.
Her name is Misery. We know, it’s…surprising. But it won’t seem strange after the first few pages. Two really likable characters, an FMC inner monologue that brings levity, and a couple of story twists that we didn’t see coming. It’s a steady read that keeps the story progressing.
Our Rating: 4.25/5

Thrown into hostile werewolf territory, Misery must navigate deep suspicion and pack politics while also harboring her own secret agenda.
