I loved it, a re-read for me for sure. I loved h's name, H and h's relationship, I can't wait to listen to the audio, all of it. If you're a reader of Ali Hazelwood and fantasy set in a more modern world, Bride is just what you'd expect from a marriage of the two. The world building/lore could use a little more finesse, so readers should come for the characters and romance. Hazelwood has set Bride up nicely for a Book 2!! Recommended for fans of The Undertaking of Hart and Mercy.

[Though, I did think Serena was going to end up being some kind of shifter and was disguised as the cat the whole time 🤣🤣 (hide spoiler)]

You know, sometimes you come across a book that just completely consumes you as you read it and you think about it for years afterwards. This is one of those books for me. Not only did Hazelwood take a chance in the romantasy genre but she executed it flawlessly.

A Romeo and Juliet retelling with Weres and Vampyres is everything I didn’t know I needed. Heartbreakingly devastating, swoon worthy, and full of spice, this book will have you literally falling in love. Hazelwood has mastered the ability to make her characters come to life for her readers and make them truly feel for them. I felt like I knew Misery and Lowe personally and could connect with them. This book is going to be talked about for years after it comes out.

Beautifully written, brilliantly executed, and flawlessly put together, I truly cannot put into words how magical this love story is. Truly well done.

I really enjoyed this. I cannot stop thinking about Bride. I adored these characters. For building a new world, incorporating paranormal elements, and a truly unforgettable romance. I guarantee you will want to clear your to-do list to read this one! Congrats to Ali Hazelwood on a fantastic new release!

I’m intrigued. This was a fun, fast paced paranormal romance. It felt different than her Steminist novels in a way that I (a bookseller and not a scientist) really enjoyed!
