Publisher's summary

Jared Stone is a freaking wolf. And I don’t mean that metaphorically, either…

I thought I had it bad - living in my dead Dad’s old hunting blind in the woods, barely staying alive on apples and ramen...that was before the storm hit and destroyed the only form of shelter I had left.

Enter, Jared. The hottest - and most unavailable - guy at school. Except he wasn’t Jared when he pulled me out of the mud. He wasn’t even human.

As if that wasn’t unsettling enough, when he brought me back to his cabin, I found he wasn’t alone. Another guy, one I’d only ever heard about in whispers beneath the bleachers, was there too. Clayton Armstrong: Bad boy extraordinaire. And it turned out, he wasn’t human either.

Mindf--k, right?

At first, all I want to do is run away. But I have nowhere to go, and for whatever messed up reason, Jared is insistent that I stay. Despite Clay’s loud protests.

So, now I’m stuck in a cabin in the woods with two hot as hell wolf shifters. One who wants to protect me. And another who wants to eat me for lunch....

What could go wrong?

Shifted Fate is the first book in Elena Lawson’s new fated-mates shifter series. It’s a full-length paranormal romance you won’t want to miss about two swoon-worthy alphas and the feisty heroine caught between them.

Edgy New Werewolf Paranormal Series

I know I say this all the time, but I just adore werewolf books, especially the ones with the mate bond. I knew when I picked up this book that this was a werewolf story, but I had no idea what direction the plot would take and the crazy turns the author created kept me constantly guessing and on the edge of my seat. And yes, while this potentially could lead to a romance (and I very much want it to!), this book was not focused on romance (but man am I excited to see how this will play out!). Instead, this had a great start to world building and character introductions. I have so many questions I can't wait to have answered, this is my first read by this author, but man did she hook me hard. I didn't realize that this series is set in a world the author already created which means I now need to go out an binge all the other books in this world because I need more now.

Geez Louise, this girl can take a hit (both physically and metaphorically) and come up swinging. A picture of her should be in the dictionary next to the word resilient. Basically being homeless, trying to finish high school and work while keeping her living situation a secret, and dodging an abusive ex-boyfriend, Allie has it rough but still keeps going. I loved her and rooted her on, wanting things to go well even when I knew it was only a matter of time before another terrible thing occurred to her. Don't worry, the girl saves herself in this tale.

I am so excited about this series, more so than most books I have read recently and will try to contain my impatience to come back into this world since that freaking cliff hanger of a shocking ending. I highly recommend this for anyone who likes werewolves, strong capable heroines, high school drama, all things paranormal and surprising twists. Just a side note, there was some physical abuse in the story so be aware if that is an issues for you.

I listened to the audiobook which was well done, the narrator did a great job bringing Allie to life. Overall the audiobook was entertaining, I would listen to the next book on audio in a heartbeat.

Awesome

I read this book before and audible is just as good. No sexual activity. I would let my preteen read.

loved

loved the story. I always enjoy listening to the audio after reading the book. You will definitely enjoy listening to this one.

A secret world revealed

Allie is living with secrets and lies. She stays in a hunting blind in the woods outside her small town. Her best friends don’t know and Allie is trying to make it to age 18.
She had a boyfriend who was not what he appeared to be.
A storm changes her life and introduces her to the paranormal. Jared and Clay are wolves - shifters.
There is much about this story that is dark. But it did intrigue me and I may see where the series goes from here.
I liked Allie for the most part. She would have had fewer problems if she had told some truths and trusted the people that helped her instead of running.
I listened to the audiobook and received a code from the author.

not original plot but fun anyways

any fan of the anime Fruits Basket will face palm as a good portion of the beginning is nearly identical. still a decent story with potential. also felt like 1/3 of a book instead of an installment of a series.

Cliffhanger... I hate cliffhangers

The story line was good and the performance was ok. What hate the most was the cliffhanger...

great!

what a great start to a new series! I can't wait to see what happens next!!

Good start!

I absolutely love Wolf books!! This is a new favorite of mine. I would say that this could be a YA paranormal book but I would caution that there is some abuse in the book but let me tell you that Allie is an amazing survivor!! She can take the punches and hit back. I absolutely love her story. The author does a fabulous job tugging at your heartstrings as we learn of Allie’s story. There was some aspects of romance and I actually loved that this first book didn’t have a lot of it. I’m sure the next book will be.
The narrator Heather Costa, did a fabulous job portraying what Allie’s voice should be. She also did a great job portraying the other characters. Highly recommend.

I Did Not Expect That !

This book was so good . I loved seeing how protective the guys are of Allie .That ending through me for a loop. I am so glad she escaped from her ex. Can't wait for the rest on Audible .

kept me entralled... amazing read... holding breath for the next one.. would recommend to anyone
