Description
The instant #1 New York Times bestseller!
A Human hybrid and an Alpha Were claw against the bonds of fate in the highly anticipated companion novel to the New York Times bestselling Bride.
Serena Paris is orphaned, pack-less, and one of a kind. Coming forward as the first Human-Were hybrid was supposed to heal a centuries-long rift between species. Instead, it made her a target, prey to the ruthless political machinations between Weres, Vampyres, and Humans. With her enemies closing in on her, she has only one option left—if he’ll have her.
As Alpha of the Northwest pack, Koen Alexander commands obedience. His authority is so absolute, only a fool would threaten his mate. It doesn’t matter if Serena doesn’t reciprocate his feelings, nothing will stop him from keeping her safe.
But power-hungry Vampyres and Weres are not the only threats chasing Serena. Sooner or later, her past is bound to catch up with her—and Koen might be the only thing standing between her and total annihilation…
Reviews
Fresh & Witty
5By AshleyBNDThroughly enjoyed. Couldn’t put it down!Unreadable
1By DLKMCCHazelton tries way too hard with (and relies too heavily on) the banter between Serena and Koen and it just reads as sophomoric instead of witty. I loved Bride so I was extra disappointed.SOOOOO GOOOD!
5By pletch60driverCan’t wait for the next one!Oh…my…god
5By elephantgirl180Ali, you deranged human. Genius. This book far exceeded my expectations and they were already so high. Every book she writes is better than the last. This book made me laugh and cry and the love story is just so sweet! And hot.Dear Ali
4By t__futI am begging you, pledging, please make a pregnancy trope !!! I know that a lot of people don’t like it, but I also know that coming from you it will be a huge success! This is the second time you put the idea out there, of an “impossible” pregnancy to happen. It could be a big plot of a book. Or another book related to the vamp/were world. Please!!!MATE Ali Hazelwood
5By SonieveVery Good read … and funny …Another great story
5By LookitthisOnce again, a terrific story from Ali Hazelwood. I would certainly recommend reading BRIDE first so you get the context clues (and some of the jokes) that tie back to the first book.Mate
5By Ink11Loved it! Couldn’t put it down.Loved this.
4By Janine 23Atmosphere was on point and I loved the development of Serena’s relationship!Ok…
4By sjmargitIt was ok. Bride was definitely much better because most of the book felt redundant but still read it in a day. Sometimes it got a little too animal fetishy but alas.Love, love, love this book
5By Disappointed Word GirlThe story grabbed me by the throat - not unlike the Weres - and held me enthralled until the vet last page.
