Weakness means death. Or worse.
After I was abandoned as a child, I was taken in by the Shadow Pack. A group of
ruthless, lawless, shifters who have only one rule: never let anyone see your
weakness.
In exchange for them keeping me alive, I owe them. The leader of the Shadows is
as handsome as he is ruthless. And he’s offered to wipe my debt in exchange for
marriage. He’d offer protection, but it would cost me my freedom.
Survival in the Shadows depends on back alley deals and shady alliances. It’s
become a way of life that I stopped questioning years ago. When a routine
burglary goes wrong, I find myself captured by the one family I never should
have crossed.
The Umbra family owns this city. They make us Shadow wolves look like the good
guys. They should have killed me for my crimes, but there’s a tiny problem… It
turns out Madoc Umbra is my fated mate.
Instead of killing me, I’m a prisoner. The rest of the family doesn’t know of
our bond and I intend to keep it that way. Madoc’s brothers want to end my
life; he wants to break the bond. I just want to get the heck out.
As long as I don’t let them see any weakness, I might have a chance of making
it out of here alive.
Darkest Mate is a full-length paranormal romance. 17+ for dark content,
steamy scenes, and language. This is book one in a trilogy and is not a
standalone. Mind the cliff.

Where do I start with this book? From beginning to end I was hooked! I read this over a series of a few hours, because I just could not put it down. I loved it so much. The writing is clear and eloquent.
I love fated mate books, and I sometimes enjoy rejected mates if it's done right. I don't want the main character to suffer the entire book. I do love my happily ever afters, after all. But, this book did it well. The main character and the "Dark Wolf" are fated in a world where rejecting the bond is illegal. But, she has been brought up in the Shadow pack and he's in the Umbra pack, the sworn enemies of the Shadows. So, they keep their bond a secret. Meanwhile she is halfway in a relationship with her alpha. There's some spice and the tension between her and Madoc is perfection. I am so excited to see where their story goes.
Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this book. 5 stars all around!
