Misery is the daughter of one of the most powerful councilmembers in the vampire community, and all her life her father has used her as a pawn. After spending more than a decade amongst humans, Misery is now marrying the Alpha of the werewolves in order to broker peace between the wolves and the vampires. But Misery has her own agenda, and she plans to infiltrate the wolves to get what she wants.

I didn't expect to love this book as much as I did. Ali Hazelwood, while I love her, has churned out fairly similar contemporary romance novels set in the academic world and I was skeptical that she could write a decent fantasy novel. I shouldn't have been because this book was frickin great! She really pulled off a great urban fantasy romance and I devoured it. I do wish worldbuilding had been a little bit stronger and that there had been a smidge more romance, but overall a great book filled with wonderful characters.

I will say I laughed my butt off when I read (view spoiler)[ that the MC had a knot on his penis that served as a magical vagina plug (hide spoiler)] but otherwise this book was solid.
