Publisher's summary

"The arrival of the Prophetess will bring both hope and destruction for the wolves of the world. She alone will be able to save them - or damn them."

The dark prophecy that has been passed down since the first pack of shifters is coming to fruition - and I am at the center of it. An orphaned human taken in by a pack of wolves. The fate of their existence in my hands.

I've been treated as the dirt beneath the pack's paws for years. Will they be able to accept my new role when my powers surface? Will I be able to forgive them enough to help them?

The bright spot amongst all the turmoil...finding my three fated. Until one of them rejects our bond. The one thing I know for sure...death is coming for us all, soon, and the person responsible for it? Their betrayal is going to alter the shifter world forever.

I'll conquer my powers, protect the packs, and live happily ever after with my men, right? Wrong.

No one is prepared for the vile truths of my visions to come to light.

Contains mature themes.

awesome book!

this book has it all, yummy sex scenes, good narrators and great story. I never leave reviews but I get how hard it is to find those rare books that you fall in love with. can't wait for the next one!

Mixed Feels

The story isn't bad, what threw me off was the female narorator. Every time she went to mimick a man it sounded like she sucked on Helium! It's hard to get into it when you make the dudes sound like Alvin, Simon, and Theodore. That being said, im getting the next book 🤷‍♀️ because I need closure.

amazing female alpha and her mates

I purchased this audio.
This is a new to me author. This book hooked me from the start. Heather Costa and Jeffrey Kafer did a wonderful job narrating this book. I have listened to several books narrated by Jeffrey and as always, his narration had me captivated. Heather Costa also had a way with narration also. I did not want to press pause on this one.
A girl who was being raised by wolves and was not treated well. Kira thought of herself as a no one always in the shadows. One-night under the full moon changes everything and her world is turned upside down. Kira is a true alpha and finds she has not one mate but three. OH, my I love two of her mates the other one I really feel bad for. He has so much anger built up since he was a kid. His true mate pull and his hatred working against one another. The chemistry between Kira and her mates made the sexiest and steamy scenes. Milo is my favorite mate always having Kira’s back. Seth grew on me as the book went on. He was not perfect in the beginning but showed that he was devoted to supporting Kira. Then there is Jamison he harbors so much anger for Kira since the death of his mother. Just when I thought he was going to come around he proved the darkness in him was hanging on tight.
Kira was amazing when she started standing up for herself and taking charge, I was cheering her on she would be an amazing Alpha. Even though she was the center of the prophecy she had to overcome all the prenotions of her by the pack. She had to overcome many obstacles to prove her status and even this the cards were stacked against her. The ending of this one had me grabbing the next book. I need to know what happens next.

DNF at 22% when Jameson rejects Kira as his mate

DNF at 22% when Jameson rejects Kira as his mate.

Even though everyone is 21 years old in this book, this reads much more like younger YA instead, with sudden horny behavior in the shower just a few pages in the book and childish crushes, jealousies, and must save the world quests. Additionally, I'm not a fan of fated mates with bullying assholes that try to gaslight the FMC into attraction. The character development so far was pretty shallow and flat and the giant info dump from the goddess was really boring and unexciting.

Passing on this book.

edit: I didn't realize this was the same author as Desolation, another book I abandoned for similar reasons. Guess this author isn't a good fit for me and will avoid in the future.

All sex, no substance

Boring , very little story, very little character development, just a lot of sex and not much more. complete waste of time and money.
