Escaping my Fated
Nova was your normal average wolf shifter until she found out her fated mate was none other than the Alpha's son. While she was ready to jump in he wasn't interested. Rejected in front of the whole school she picks herself up and tries to move forward. But he has other things in store. He’s decided to play with her, and not nicely. How will she escape this and what fate does he have in store for her?
This book starts very dark so be sure to read the trigger list. This is a reverse harem meaning she ends up with more than one man if this isn't your thing please don't read. This book ends in a cliffhanger but not to worry the next book should be out soon.

DNF at 63%.
I didn’t have high expectations when first opening this book since it doesn’t have very high ratings but I decided to take a chance since some of the best books I’ve read are lesser known authors with very few ratings. I was hoping for a diamond in the rough.
The book starts out with extreme trauma and triggers. I don’t have any triggers but if Grape, abuse, and torture are things you can’t stomach in a book then don’t even attempt opening this one because that’s what this story is about. It’s heavily involved in this book and none of the details are skimmed.
A little synopsis with spoilers: Nova is the FMC and she’s a wolf shifter that just turned old enough to sniff out her mate. It’s the day she’s been dreaming about. Her mate happens to be Brad, the pack alpha’s son and future alpha. He immediately rejects her and her pain is severe.
She can’t take the pain and humiliation (for some reason) and decides it’s best to leave. She decides this while standing in the woods all alone and then Brad and his friends find her. They restrain her and take turns on her body in a very brutal way and Brad even marks her with his mate bite. He plans to use her as his “toy” while being with whoever he wants and use Nova as a breeding vessel for his heirs.
She wakes up in the hospital and is too terrified to tell her warrior parents or the pack’s sweet alpha who did this to her. That night she tries to run away but gets caught before stepping a foot outside her door. She then wakes up in a basement and finds out that the alpha is also in on it. So the alpha, his son, and his friends all brutalize her in the most horrendous ways imaginable. Three months later she finally escapes and is saved by one of her mates.
Sounds brutal and interesting right? It was. Until you get more into the book and realize every single chapter is inconsistent with the previous chapters.
For example: Howl, her hero mate, is a lycan. He shifts into his lycan form before they go to a witches house for help. Nova even admits to the witch that she’s seen Howl’s lycan form and felt safe. Then a few chapters ahead we come to a scene where he apparently shifts into his lycan form for the first time in front of her and she’s a little scared but also feels safe. This is told to us as if it’s the first time she’s meeting his lycan.
She monologues about how she’s scared to trust again because she trusted Brad and he betrayed her. Except she never trusted Brad. The moment she found out he was her mate she felt sick because she didn’t like him. There was never any trust.
Howl finds Nova because he felt a pull to the area and left his home to figure out why. Then when he finds her in rough shape he rushes her to a witches house for help. Then later in the book when he’s finally back home he tells us he and his friends were expecting to find a woman, Nova, because the witch told them about it. Two separate plots are going on here and it makes zero sense.
Lots of inconsistencies all throughout this book but those were the major ones.
It’s like the author just didn’t have a clear picture in their head of what they wanted and kept forgetting what they already had written down and never went back and proofread.

This one started off strong. The premise was interesting, unique, and immediately pulled me in. I was genuinely excited to see where the story was going.
Unfortunately, the middle really dragged. It felt like the same things kept happening over and over without the plot moving forward in a meaningful way. By the time things finally picked up again, I'd already lost a lot of the excitement I had at the beginning.
Another thing that took me out of the story was the dialogue. The FMC and all of the love interests seemed to repeat the same phrases and conversations over and over. After a while it started to feel repetitive instead of reinforcing their personalities, and I found myself skimming those sections.
Overall, I loved the concept, but the pacing and repetitive dialogue kept me from enjoying it as much as I hoped. I don't regret reading it, but it didn't fully deliver on the promise of such a compelling start.

I hate books that have a cliffhanger.. No warning, if I knew no way I would had started reading this.. The next book is not out yet.. Book was long for two or more books.. Hope this helps..😐

Wow
This story is both heartbreaking and heartwarming! That cliffhanger really has me wishing the next book was out already!!
I was a little put off by some of the inconsistencies in the story line when we switched POVs but overall I still enjoyed the story.

Very repetitive. While the idea was good the actual writing wasn’t great. Constant repetition ‘comes undone’ ‘nearly undoes me’ ‘tala stronger than she’s been on months’ etc gets irritating quickly
