Welcome to Litsy!

i loved this Vampyre Werewolf romantasy book so much! For perspective- even with Onyx Storm/Emperyan hangover and chaos in my personal life (we are all safe ❤️ ) and the illigal takeover of Federal funds that may destroy my fledgling private practice- I thoroughly escaped into this world and loved the unique take on the “tropes”.

Oh, this was fun and spicy! An arranged marriage between an alpha werewolf and a vampyre…. It‘s not my usual story, but I really got into it! #wickedwords: bicycle

I liked this vampire-werewolf marriage of convenience romance far more than I expected I would. Thanks for putting it on the list, Sarah!

Yay, my first 2 library books for #auldlangspine are here! After I finish my first book of the year, A Curious Beginning, I‘m going to dive in! Thanks @HOTPock3tt ☺️

My older kids (27m and 22f) think they are sooo funny. We'd gotten into this weird messenger chat about knots (iykyk) a while back after I (and then my daughter) read Bride. So when I opened this gift they said there was a theme. Coffee? No. Then I saw the bookmark, and the 💡came on. The Suffolking Good (so f-ing good) socks and cup were tangentially related - I live in Suffolk. Think they knocked it out of the park this year.

Thank you Ali for writing this! It was different but yet I saw you through the pages, your writing style, your humor, and the spice only you could write. I truly enjoyed this story. Can't wait to read the rest of your books. I am just not a fan of the bonus chapters you have scattered around of this book 😭. I mma have to go on a scavenger hunt and read the chapters off the store shelves.

This book is never mentioned anywhere especially for a popular author. Maybe because of the realm it‘s in. If you have any interest in werewolves, vampires, etc, don‘t sleep on this book!!

Wasn‘t my favorite Ali Hazelwood book

I am almost finished with Bride, by Ali Hazelwood. Pretty sure I'll finish it tonight. 😜
So, you know when you can tell 100% that the author had a *blast* writing the story? That's how I feel about this book and its author. And it makes the experience so much more memorable. Highly recommend. 🤓 👍

Vampires and werewolves,Entertaining, humorous banter,a little drama , lots of spice 3⭐️

If you like paranormal romance with some spice, I recommend this one. An arranged marriage between a vampire and an Alpha werewolf…what could go wrong?

Ali Hazelwood is an auto-buy author for me, so it‘s no surprise that I enjoyed this! I applaud her for stepping out of her comfort zone to write a paranormal romance, which isn‘t her usual romance sub genre.

Hoping for a good reading weekend! My goals for the 2 readathons are to:
1) finish my current read (tagged book)
2) start on My Roommate Is a Vampire (my #doublespin for this month)
3) complete the other 3 books, which are all pretty short cozies
4) clean my house because the last couple of days haven‘t gone as planned 😂

99p on kindle is a bargain for this one if anyone hasn‘t read it yet!

Book mail … I just had to buy the cover for Bride isn‘t it beautiful 😍

I will be reading this one for #HauntedShelf!

@guinsgirlreads thank you so much for this amazing #FallingForFallSwap package!!! I had trouble fitting everything into the photo!! I'm genuinely delighted with everything, especially the bonus book, very appropriate for my line of work 😂 Thank you so much and happy fall!!!

Thank you for hosting this swap @Avanders @Chrissyreadit - truly one of my favorite swaps of the year!!!

Funny, witty love story about an arranged marriage between a werewolf and a vampire. Excerpt is from the vampire bride's perspective at the wedding.

⭐️⭐️⭐️
This book was fun and fast paced, pretty spicy and a bit weird. I wouldn‘t have read it if it wasn‘t a book club pick, but if Hazelwood made this into a series, I would read more.

💕💕💕

It was okay. Not a fan of vampires or werewolves but this book distracted me.

Fun and spicy palate cleanser! 🔥I wasn‘t planning to read this until one of my favourite YTubers recommended it on her channel.

The enemies-to-lovers trope isn‘t too strong, but I liked the wry, snarky protagonist. 🦇💜🐺

WTF did I just read
I know this is the first fantasy book this author wrote but I kind of hope that it‘s also the last 😬
Doesn‘t mean she is a bad writer since I‘ve heard a lot of good things when it comes to her other romance books

The non-romance part of the plot is fine, though I couldn‘t decide whether the Collateral idea is ridiculous or genius in a very “The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas” way….the romance part manages to be both tedious and gross, sometimes at the same time.

Small indulgences…latte and a few chapters.

Really enjoyed this paranormal romance between a Vampire and a Werewolf. There were some twist and turns in this book that held my interest. Well done!!

I enjoyed Bride more than I thought I would! There were a couple of tropes that annoyed me, but overall, it was a fun read and just what I needed. It kind of gave me Patricia Briggs vibes, but more playful and romantic.

I was pleasantly surprised by this book. Maybe it‘s the science nerd in me but I caught myself smiling at this book more than once. Interesting twist on the typical vampire/shifter romance. I hope there is another book exploring some of the other characters.

This one just edged it out for my #WeeklyFavorites last week. 🤓

Vampires and werewolves aren‘t my usual reading choices but I picked this book up when it came out on the recommendation of a friend. I love Ali Hazelwood and she didn‘t disappoint me with this one. Vampires, werewolves & humans. Oh, my! 🤓 Funny, spicy and interesting.

⭐️⭐️ Forced proximity werewolf - vampire romance. Paranormal stuff is FAR out of my wheelhouse, but I‘ve enjoyed Hazelwood‘s #steminist rom-coms, so decided to give this a try. I don‘t know, y‘all. I was pretty okay until the knot. #iykyk.

AH is my spicy read quilty pleasure and now she‘s combined her spiciness with vampires/where‘s and I can‘t even with how fast I binged this 🤣🤣🤣

I didn't care for the characters at all. I am glad that I read it. Just not one of my favorite books by the author. I rated this book a 2 out of 5 stars.

So much gardening happened today. I‘m so tired. So happy hour is happening on the back porch with a cocktail from a can, another book started despite not finishing the others yet ( I need light, no brain action required and I can take in the tub aka not a library book) happy almost the weekend

I am nearly done with this one, and even though it isn't her normal content, I thought it was amazing. The lore and world building took a minute, and it started a bit choppy; but it's a great story and I am invested!

Bk6 of May is done! Felt like something light & funny & this did not disappoint. I very much enjoyed this paranormal romance, it reminded me of Jenny Colgan except with fangs, pointy ears & howling. Misery is used to being a pawn between her people, Vampyres, & the humans so when she‘s told she‘ll now be one to the Weres, she agrees. Only coz she‘s looking for her only friend who‘s disappeared. What she doesn‘t expect is to fall for their Alpha.👇

Not sure I would've picked this one up if it hadn't been written by Ali Hazelwood, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. Same heroine who doesn't believe the man who's deeply obsessed with her could possibly be in love with her, but this time they're vampires and werewolves trying to end an interspecies feud. Yes, it's spicy. Yes, there's knotting. No, I'm not explaining what that is. Go read this book or some fanfiction and you'll soon find out 😂

I liked Misery a lot… she was a strong female lead, and like Lowe states, she‘s resilient. She truly experienced neglect and abuse at the hands of her father, but she still managed to see the good in others and trust. I liked that there was that substance to this story, so it was more than just the spice, vampyres or Weres. I hope Ali will write more books in this world.

I really enjoyed this. I loved the main character and her snark. I like how the author put her twists on the Vampyres and Weres. I liked the storylines and the things I didn't see coming. Of course some stuff was predictable but I think that is true of most romance books. Fair warning though, it was MUCH spicier than I was expecting. I blame the cartoonish cover for throwing me off on that. I would NOT compare it to Romeo & Juliet like some are.

I'm only halfway through but I love it already. It's definitely my kind of humor.

Finished this spicy romance outside with my sweet old lady Edie-cat, who has been loving yard exploring on her harness

I enjoyed Hazelwood‘s vampire/werewolf world and appreciate the mystery she added. I‘ve read 1 of her 3 Love Hypothesis books and 1 of her 3 STEMinist novellas. If this one continues, I‘ll probably stick to just this one out of repetitiveness, even though it was a fun read.

Do many good library holds came in this weekend! I'm reading a physical copy of Fair Rosaline and an audiobook of Bride. As soon as I finish that I'll move on to the Titanic Survivors Book Club audiobook. #WeekendReada
