Fated To The Wolf Prince is the first book in the Hunted Omegas series. Best friends Brielle, Shay and Leigh are ordered to attend a Great Pack Gathering for all unmated adults. Brielle can barely shift, and is designated as a psi wolf at the bottom of the pack totem pole, so she isn't expecting much from the gathering. But then she meets the High Alpha's son, Kane, and her wolf has other ideas.
The series will have an ongoing central story arc, but a new main couple and romance in each book. Ahhh, this is my favourite type of series. I love it when there's a strong plot that runs through multiple books, but where you get to fall in love/lust with a new couple every time!
Sometimes you just need a shifter romance, and this book delivers! I have read shifter romances with similar stories before, however this one was just superior in every way:
1) An amazing main character - she's smart, strong and honest. Brielle doesn't whine about her situation, she just got on with her life and made the best of it.
2) Brielle, Shay and Leigh are all supportive, ride-or-die friends with their own stories and fleshed out characters. I love their relationship and am invested in their books already!
3) They communicate!! I never thought I'd see the day but there's a couple that actually talk about their feelings. There's a few instances where they have an argument, but there's no long-drawn out separation - when they see each other, they talk and explain what they're feeling and they apologise. I hate a miscommunication trope so I was overjoyed at this. Above all, it made them feel like real adults. I've read other shifter books where it's tantrums-galore and it reads really immature. But Brielle and Kane act like the adults they are and I love it.
4) The plot isn't just there to cause tension between the characters either and there are lots of breadcrumbs left ready for the sequels, and I can't wait to see how the overall plot develops for Brielle, Kane and the pack, even while Shay and Leigh (I hope) take central stage in the sequels.
5) It's just so well written, and it sets it apart for me. This book gets the right mix of plot, romance and spice. The pacing is perfect, the main and side characters are all interesting and it was just so easy to read.
If you fancy a shifter romance, I would absolutely recommend this series! Also, Amazon is showing both Fated to the Wolf Prince and Fated to the Feral Wolf (the upcoming second book) as coming to Kindle Unlimited upon release!
