Mated to Curves: Book Four

by D.V. Fischer

Eva is a journalist for Spokane’s newspaper and she was relieved when Spelling was suspended. She’s a shifter and hiding her shifter identity to someone on a witch hunt for their existence was dangerous. However, now he’s the least of her problems because shifter women are coming up murdered everywhere.

Cruz hadn’t expected to find his mate when he went to the paper to find out more about Spelling. But there she was, frightened of him, curvy, and gorgeous as ever. However, it doesn’t take much to convince her to enter his world in the fight club, nor does it take much to convince her on a second date.

But when the second date lands them being questioned by cops, the trouble begins.

Shifter women are being murdered, 5 dead bodies have been found so far. All the women in the community are shaken/worried.
Gary Spelling is still suspended from the newspaper for being obsessed about exposing the existence of shifters. Though the suspension hasn't dissuaded him from his quest, in fact he has been phoning his newspaper bodd Mr Binzer everyday promising he can find proof of shifters but quite abruptly the calls have stopped according to Mr Binzer leaving him wondering where Gary is. Mr Binzer is also checking to see what Eva is working on as she is picking up the slack whilst Gary Spelling is missing. Eva also gets little tidbits of news about what's going on with the current spate of murders, which Mr Binzer is eager to have in his newspaper. Luckily he doesn't know where she gets the tips/information from. Eva's sister Meredith is a Police Officer which is quite an unusual job for a female, never mind a female shifter. Meredith talks to Eva about what is going on in the investigation and they discuss the fact the murdered women are all shifters too.
Mr Binzer isn't the only one who is wondering where Gary Spelling is, Cade sends Cruz to the newspaper to see if he can get an address for Gary as they want to keep tabs on him after he attacked Cali.

In this novella, more characters find mates, the fight club is quickly becoming more like a pack headquarters than just a gathering place to let off some steam and excess energy. Theres also news of a pregnancy which makes getting the Gary Spelling problem sorted out even more important.
There is also the problem of someone on the loose torturing and murdering shifter women, though the fight club shifters would probably be more than able to sort out that situation too, they have to hold back as the Police are involved, so human laws apply, restricting the shifters for the time being. Though with Meredith also being a shifter maybe they will be called on to help at some point.

I really enjoyed this novella, the romance of the mates finding each other and becoming almost inseparable within days! Then there’s the mystery, thriller and suspense aspect of the murderer. I will admit I did have my own theories as to who the murderer is. I'm also looking forward to hopefully finding out what Gary Spelling has against shifters and why he is so desperate to expose them. I quickly became attached to the characters and love that though new ones are introduced in each novella, you still have the characters you have already learnt about involved in the plot. I love the short plots lines contained in one novella that happen alongside the continuing themes of other parts of the plot running through the series of novellas. I think it's funny how Alpha Cade has grudgingly accepted that his friends gathering around him are in fact forming a type of pack. I'd really like to see the characters in this series of novellas go on to have further adventures and issues to deal with.

The book end on a whopper cliff hanger so I can't wait to read more

Mated to Curves book 4 by D.V. Fischer
I purchased this audio book.
I purchased the entire audio set of books 1-5 when I met the author at a book signing. I love love love novellas and to know I had 5 was *chef’s kiss*
So Cruz is the bartender who loves to keep secrets. He also is the guy who seems to enjoy giving everyone crap. When his alpha….I mean his good friend Cade because we don’t have packs anymore…..asked him to check up on the newspaper guy who is out to out shifters, he meets his mate Eva.
Eva is stunned stupid when the hot as sin man who is also a shifter shows up at her office to find out about the old guy who did her job. They two have that insta-love that happens when a shifter finds their mate.
This book is quick and fast, but it also ends on a cliffhanger. The other 3 books were interconnected but this book and book 5 need to be read in order. To get the best bang for your buck with the story you need to read them all.
Eva and Cruz find each other which also helps book 5 (Josiah the fight announcer and scheduler plus Meredith, Eva’s sister) story line get started. This book was a sweet…I mean sexy…read when all of a sudden BANG…literally…you are thrown in to book 5 for the resolution of Eva and Cruz and Josiah and Meredith. When book 4 ended and eagerly started book 5!
I loved the series and am excited to start another set of novellas by this author.

This book in the series ended with suspense! Out of all the books, this one really caught my attention with how the story has been building and finally hitting that peak point. I have enjoyed how each story before this one has built up to this point, and each person has their own personal story. Once you finish this book, you will be left wanting to read the next!

I love this series.

The long-running plot that weaves through this series of short episodes keeps me invested. Each book is a fated love story with fabulous characters. But it’s the intricacies of the world building that keep me coming back book after book.

I enjoyed this entertaining and engaging fated mates short story. These easy-to-read and well-written stories are interconnected and continue to build this world of shifters. There are elements of danger, violence, steam, and defined MCs. I voluntarily read an ARC and this is my honest review.

omg

Eeeeek such a good continuation of this little series and I can’t wait for the next book to come out and see what happens! I absolutely am in love with DV Fischer’s writing and have loved absolutely everything she’s written

Another great that will keep you intrigued. Eva is a shifter and hiding her identity isn’t easy. When she meets Cruz, will it be danger or romance. Short but awesome story.

[Claire · Rating 5 out of 5]

Eva and Cruz story has all the 🌶️🔥 you need but as the whodunnit shifter murders start hitting the news, are any shifters safe!

[Michelle Howard-Smith · Rating 5 out of 5]
