Publisher's summary

The Vampire King is dead….

So now I’m on the run from his maniacal successor, with a critically wounded vampire prince who needs feeding and the maid who loves him at my side.

And I thought the Harvest Games were bad….

To make matters infinitely worse, I’m pretty much obsessed with the General of the Vampire Army, who—spoiler alert—has been tasked with leading the hunting party sent to kill me and my not-so-merry band of misfits. The only chance we have of getting through this mess alive is to throw ourselves at the mercy of the neighboring werewolves and hope they don’t rip us to shreds. They are the key to defeating the newly crowned “King” Edmund and saving the Vampire Kingdom from a return to the old days. Days filled with unchecked cruelty, torture, and mayhem.

It would take a little cunning and loads of audacity to even attempt to negotiate an alliance between two species that have been warring for centuries.

Luckily, I’ve got both in spades.

Excellent

I can't get enough of Sienna and Dominic's hot and steamy scenes. They happen when least expected. The Narrators do a fantastic job keeping you engaged throughout the entire book. Bravo.

A Better Story

This second story is better for me because it didn’t sound like a smut story but had more of the plot in it than the first. Now I can’t wait to listen/read the third book. I think it’s one of those series that gets better as it goes.

EXCELLENT!!

I have to say first that this story is so well written. I am however, so incredibly frustrated with the cliffhanger!! It seems like it's taken forever for this to come out, and I'm left hanging! lol Shannon really knows how to keep you engaged though. On the edge of your seat type of engaged! The narrator's did very well, but if you're going to have a male and female narrator, PLEASE have them do the characters all throughout the book in duet. It's so frustrating to have it go back and forth with the male narrator doing the female voices in his chapter, and the female doing the male voices in hers. I don't understand why they don't just perform it duet rather than dual. It would make the performances that much better. Overall well done though. Definitely worth a credit!

Action, Spice and Betrayal

Sienna is back at it with this second book. She is still awesome (g-rated for amazon) and extremely headstrong. She is in fact so headstrong that it kinda starts to become a flaw with her in this book. She has a lot of trials that happen to her in this one and you can see how all of it hits at one go. Love it can't wait for the next one and we get to see a few other love stories start to unfold I'm really looking forward to more of those!!

Amazing

What an amazing next installment in to this captivating series. So many things come to light in this book. So many secrets revealed and it definitely keeps the reader on their toes. With that ending I don’t know how I’m going to wait patiently for the next book.

DAMN CLIFHANGER

Great series wished I’d known there would be a cliffhanger 3rd book not out yet. HUH‼️

Lots of action going on!!

Book 2 in the series picks up where book 1 left off with plenty of action, mystery, challenge, and desirable heat. Some threads from the first book are tied up in this edition but many more have been spun as an enticing lure to keep the listener guessing and wanting. The characters and scenes are perfectly complex but not fraught in too much detail; easily kept my wayward attention from beginning to end. Be prepared for the time to fly by as you become enthralled with this story. I did not want to pause. I am so looking forward to the next book in the series! Though you could enjoy this story as a standalone, I highly advise listening to it after Taken by Fate so as to not feel lost in some of the discussion/scenes. The narrators did a great job! I received a free copy of the audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Amazing 2nd book!

This book picks right up where the first one left off and keeps you wanting more. I read the book before listening to the audio book. The voice actors really bring the story to life! As much as I loved reading the book, the performance in the audio book made the story even better. Sienna is battling her own demons and learning about herself while dealing with the craziness of a world she never expected to be in. I absolutely love this story and cannot wait for the next book!

I was given a free audio book in exchange for an honest review.

Enjoyed it

Hunted By Fate is the second book in Alpha Territories trilogy and it continues where book 1 left off. In this book we get to see more of the werewolf territory and like book 1 the world building was again well written. The story was action packed, steamy, emotional, and had me hooked until the end with all the politics, intrigue, betrayal, heartbreak, mystery and suspense. Some question were answered and new ones arose and I was captivated with the plot and its characters.
The tension between Don and Sienna in this book was intense but unlike the slow burn from book 1 we do get some steam. I loved the banter between Will and Dom and I loved the addition of the new characters. This enemies to lovers/ paranormal tale was another great read that ends in a cliff hanger and I can't wait to start that final book. I would definitely recommend it.
I listened to the audiobook version of this story which was narrated by Summer Roberts and Tyler Donne. These two were really suited for this role and together they brought the story to life and kept me fully engaged. It was a pleasure listening to them narrate this novel.

Extra Spicy Urban Fantasy!

Shannon masterfully expands the world of the Alpha Territories. If you enjoy conflict, you will find it here in spades,.. vampires versus werewolves, lovers versus enemies, duty versus love, perceived versus truth, etc. If you enjoy some extra spice in your urban fantasy, this is definitely a series to dive into.

Summer Roberts does a fantastic job narrating her parts of the audiobook. Unfortunately, Tyler Donne’s pace and intonation do not match Summer’s, which can be jarring at times.
