Paranormal Romance

Misery Lark, the only daughter of the most powerful Vampyre councilman of the Southwest, is an outcast—again. Her days of living in anonymity among the Humans are over: she has been called upon to uphold a historic peacekeeping alliance between the Vampyres and their mortal enemies, the Weres, and she sees little choice but to surrender herself in the exchange—again... Weres are ruthless and unpredictable, and their Alpha, Lowe Moreland, is no exception. He rules his pack with absolute authority, but not without justice. And, unlike the Vampyre Council, not without feeling. It's clear from the way he tracks Misery's every movement that he doesn't trust her. If only he knew how right he was…. Because Misery has her own reasons to agree to this marriage of convenience, reasons that have nothing to do with politics or alliances, and everything to do with the only thing she's ever cared about. And she is willing to do whatever it takes to get back what's hers, even if it means a life alone in Were territory…alone with the wolf.

This book was so freaking good. Absolutely obsessed with Misery and her BFF Serena, god they are hilarious together. I’ve enjoyed other Ali Hazelwood books, but this plot, world building, character development, and dialogue was next level, while also flawlessly executing a tried and true romance novel structure. I’m now afraid to look up the next books in the series, b/c I just KNOW that it’s going to switch character POVs and I’ll be bummed - there’s so much left to explore while following these main characters!!
