Shadowmist Pack #1
Feral Fates
The only thing more dangerous than their bond, is the war it will ignite.
Every unmated female must run.
The males give chase.
Whoever catches you becomes your mate.
No exceptions. No escape.
Kitara Silverbrook was born with the gift of sight, but cursed without the ability to shift. In a world where a wolf’s strength defines their worth, she’s endured whispers, isolation, and the cruel hands of a pack that sees her as nothing but a vessel for power.
When the brutal Claiming ceremony begins, Kitara’s only hope is to run fast enough to avoid being caught by the pack’s enforcer—the male who’s already marked her for torment.
Torn between prophecy and survival, Kitara must decide if she’ll risk her heart on the savage alpha who promises to protect her at any cost.
Even if that cost is war.
Perfect for fans of Suzanne Wright, Jaymin Eve, Roxie Ray, and steamy, blood-and-bond shifter romances where the the mating is primal, the Alphas are feral, and the only rule is survive together or die alone.

This was SO SO SO SO good! I went into this book with moderate expectations because this is a new-to-me author. Color me surprised that this book had me in a chokehold after just one chapter. I lost precious hours of sleep because I stayed up so late to finish this book.
The characters were fleshed out and interesting. The world-building was so good. I loved how much nuance there was to it. The big bads were big and bad, but the MMC was bigger and badder. There aren't enough words in the english language for me to put on paper to explain how much I LOVED Ryker. He's protective and kind to those he loves. He's smart and he's not a hothead. Deep down, he's a sweetheart who has had to become this larger-than-life "evil" being of lore to protect his pack. I loved his interactions with the FMC. She doesn't know what to expect from him at the beginning and it just makes him that much better when he actively takes steps to make her feel safe and comfortable before asking anything of her. The FMC's life was so unfortunate. Her original pack were a bunch of *ssholes. They willfully put her in unsafe and compromising position after compromising position because they felt entitled to her, like she was an object/tool to use. I loved watching her become more herself and grow into her confidence with Ryker alongside her and always supporting her.
The betrayal was rough to read about. There was a tiny and uncertain part of me that pondered the idea of who it was, but I never thought I was going to be right about it. Turns out I need to trust my intuition and my reading comprehension skills more because this is the second time this has happened in the past 2 weeks.
I'm glad things worked out in the end! I'm very curious about Lithia and hoping that the next book is about her and her man/men(?). I'm also very invested in how the overarching plot is going to play out. Here's hoping the next book provides even more answers!

I have no words for the amount of high reviews this has. I STRUGGLED to not dnf this book. The concept as always is good, it's a paranormal romance the bones are there. The writing however needs a lot of work.

Summary:
FMC is a seer. She has amazing power and is wanted by many alphas. However, she is seen as broken because she cannot shift. She has a wolf but cannot shift. It is her time to be a part of the mate race. Females run and the male that catches them become their mate.
MMC is the alpha of a powerful pack. He has come to the mating races to find a mate. He scents the FMC and knows she is his fated mate. He catches her. However, she is not use to people wanting her for herself but for her gift.
This is a story of what happens when the FMC discovers love for herself and not her gift. When she begins to walk in the fullness of her power. There is also the aspect of war because many other alphas want her. HEA
Review:
This is my first book by this author and I loved it. I found myself engaged and I didn't skip any pages. I loved that the FMC grew into her power and was never able to shift. Although, I must admit I kept waiting for her to have that ability. I loved how the pack was not accepting of her at first but grew to love her.
I loved how the MMC knew he loved her from the start and set out to help her heal from the abuse of the past. I loved the timing and progress of their love story. I was shocked by who was the traitor. I mean really shocked.
All in all I loved the book and am happy that there is another book in the series. I look forward to reading it.

Kitara is a Seer who cannot shift into her wolf form, though her wolf is very vocal within her. Her pack has abused her and her gift of sight her entire life. They treat her as broken and less than. They force her to have visions that tax her physically and mentally. When it’s discovered by other packs that they were hiding her existence, she is forced into a Claiming ceremony where the enforcer of her pack threatens to claim her only to continue to abuse her and force breed her. Since she cannot shift she is at a severe disadvantage to the male wolves from her and other packs determined to claim her only to force her to breed more Seers for their own use. She catches a scent her wolf recognizes as its mate and when the enforcer of her pack catches her an Alpha attacks and fights off multiple other wolves to claim her for himself. Alpha Ryker of the Shadowmist pack claims the Seer as his mate and the Grand Alpha Thaddeus of all packs tries to deny him. Kitara has a vision of Ryker killing the Grand Alpha and the Grand Alpha demands the Seer stay with his pack “for the good of all packs”. Ryker refuses as he claimed her fairly. They escape as a fight breaks out and return to his pack’s den. Ryker begins to show her she isn’t broken because she cannot shift and welcome her truly into his pack as his mate and the Alpha Female. She slowly begins to find friends and her place in the pack, as well with Ryker, while learning how to use her gifts without being hurt by them. They fall in love and truly bond which is of course when Thaddeus begins his plans of attack on them to steal back the Seer and foil the prophecy of Ryker slaying him. Ryker reveals that he is the bastard son of Thaddeus to Kitara and Thaddeus offers a parley that they recognize as most likely a trap. Kitara is kidnapped after being betrayed by a plant in their pack and Ryker will stop at nothing to get her back. I enjoyed this shifter world and the ideas of changing tradition and welcoming diversity/differences as gifts not hindrances. Lovely parallel to some world politics at play currently with these written pack dynamics. Some fun knotting spice with praise kink thrown in which we live in a shifter romance! All around a fun world and I can’t wait to get more of Lithia, Levi, & our new rogue Kier.

Thanks, @eveimitchellauthor for the ARC!
Kitara Silverbrook may have been born with the gift of sight, but she's also been cursed. She's a wolf who can't shift. She's been treated like a commodity by her pack and now is being forced to run in the brutal Claiming Ceremony. Her pack's Alpha is making sure she will be claimed by one of his lackeys, which will ensure she will be under his 'service' forever. They were not counting on the Alpha of Shadowmist pack claiming her and making her his pack's Alpha Female.
Now everything is leading to a war and her mate is ready to do anything to keep her safe.
I loved this one! I always count on Evie to deliver and she did! This story hits every note in the genre of paranormal romance with wolf shifters and fated mates.
I was particularly happy with how the "broken" Kitara is never seen as that by Ryker. She is not 'less', she's just different. And when she's finally sees as who she is, she begins to shine.
The story also has all the machinations and war games, with treachery and danger lurking everywhere.
First in the series, I truly appreciated that, though I am craving for more, Evie didn't leave us hanging with a classic cliffhanger - she just gave a taste that wants us wanting more.
If you are looking for a romantic, very steamy, action-packed wolf shifter romance, Feral Fates is going to hit all the spots.

When Evie Mitchell posted that she was writing a paranormal romance duology I might have done an embarassing happy dance because one of my favourite authors writing in one of my OG favourite sub-genres? Sign me up, please!
Feral Fates is the story of Kitara, a wolf shifter without the ability to shift - but does have the ability to see potential futures - and caught in a patriarchal society that sees her as nothing more than a broodmare and commodity to be sold to the highest bidder (or, in this case, the wolf that can chase her down). Ryker is the leader of an outcast wolf pack - feared and hunted by the rest of the packs, especially after he claims Kitara for his own. her gift of sight is something his pack needs, but more than that, she’s his mate and he’s not letting her go.
The book hits all the paranormal romance/fated mates storyline beats that make the genre so recognisable. It’s fast-paced, gritty and high stakes for the two main characters. Kitara’s lived her life in fear for a long time and her new pack don’t know what to make of a wolf who can’t shift, but everyone begins to see how important a role she’ll play in their lives. It’s also very steamy, for those looking for that! I had a lot of fun with it and can’t wait to read the second book.
Feral Fates is available now on Evie Mitchell’s website, and releases wide on October 15th. Thank you to Evie for the review copy. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

5/5 ⭐️s
🌶️🌶️ - medium spice, multiple explicit scenes
LOVES:
- I was immediately drawn to the way the FMC thought about the way she was treated in her pack and was anxious to see a change. It felt like I could draw parallels to reality despite the paranormal world it was set in.
- The way Ryker treated Kitara with respect and earned her trust was 🔥 He also showed the perfect example of how consent is sexy.
- It was so satisfying to see Kitara grow into her confidence and master her abilities.
- The two styles of leadership shown throughout the book were written so well. Evie made it feel realistic, especially by showing how both sides truly felt like they were doing what was best. The grey areas of those types of conflicts are very tricky.
- Evie really kept me on my toes! There were lots of sneaky moves and big battles and dramatic scenes. It definitely kept my interest.
- Then that epilogue had me so ready to know what’s going to happen next!
“No one’s ever offered to build me up before. Only to tear me down, use what they needed, and leave the rest.”
I think this has taken over the number one spot for me of Evie’s books! I am officially invested in this world and the bonus epilogue was sweet too 🥰
Thanks to the author for the advance copy 💝 Releases October 15th - available now on her website!

"Evie Mitchell's latest Shadowmist Pack novel is a captivating shifter romance that surpasses expectations. From the first page, Kivara's heartbreaking backstory of rejection by her original pack resonates deeply, highlighting her unique status as a non-shifting seer wolf valued only for her prophetic abilities.
Alpha Ryker's entrance transforms Kivara's world, claiming her during a mating run and offering her the acceptance and support she's always craved. Their connection transcends typical shifter dynamics, presenting a nuanced exploration of belonging and personal worth.
The narrative expertly weaves intense action and high-stakes conflict, with a menacing Grand Alpha Wolf threatening the Shadowmist Pack and targeting Kivara and Ryker specifically. Mitchell balances pulse-pounding suspense with tender romantic moments and sizzling chemistry.
This novel stands out for its rich character development, compelling plot twists, and emotional depth. Ryker and Kivara's relationship is both passionate and empowering, making them an unforgettable couple that readers will eagerly revisit.
A must-read for paranormal romance fans, this book sets a high bar for the genre and leaves readers eagerly anticipating the next installment, Savage Mate."

A love story and an epic action packed shifter story
This book started very powerful and intense grabbing me into the story immediately.
Fairly quickly Ryker became more than just the feared Shadowmist alpha. He became a real person who leads through respect and loves his pack.
Kitara is a seer who can't shift. She has always been told she is broken and worthless except for her use as a seer.
Together Ryker and Kitara are better. They are supportive of each other. The beauty of their story is watching their love grow and the respect they have for each other.
There are lots of pack politics, shifter violence and plots twists and surprises in the background as their love deepens. I really enjoyed this story so much. I'm looking forward to the next story in this world of shifters.

Feral Fates is the first book in the Shadowmist Pack series. It was another great read from Evie Mitchell. It's very different than the other books that I've read from her, and I was highly impressed. Feral Fates is a dark paranormal romance which kept me glued to kinderella. This book was very angsty, steamy, and action packed. The character development, world building, and political intrigue were very well written and immersive. The steam was steaming and the plot was definitely plotting in this case. I'm equally excited and impatient about the next book. I can't wait for more. I truly did not want this book to end, I was not ready. 😭

This was a very different kind of book to the ones I've read by Evie Mitchell so far, but I mostly enjoyed it. Weirdly, every now and then I sort of forgot Ms Mitchell was the author because it FELT like an early Kit Rocha/Moira Rogers book, which is... kind of a compliment, given how I've devoured those.
And look, there are elements of it that didn't work for me (I will NEVER understand the obsession some authors have with the idea of knotting. Just... what? Why?), but the overall political storyline worked for me, I loved watching Kitara develop as a character over the book, and it looks like Book 2 has been set up nicely with Lithia and her HOPEFULLY why-choose partners.
Let's say I've read far WORSE first books in a PNR series.

When I heard that one of my favourite authors was going to write a shifter book I was so excited and extremely lucky to receive an advanced reader copy! Once I started to read Feral Fates I could not put it down. Kitara and Ryker’s story was full of twists and turns. Together they are a force beyond nature and work as one with Ryker’s pack to bring peace to the wolves. As well as a brilliant plot there is plenty of steamy scenes and a real sense of camaraderie. These are my own personal opinions and not linked to me receiving an ARC.

I really loved Evie's first paranormal romance! I was excited when I learned she wrote a paranormal romance, as paranormal is one of my favourite genres.
Kitara is a great mix of vulnerable and strong. She's really interesting and I love her mate 💕
As always, Evie's writing hasn't disappointed me ❤️🐺
Can't wait for the next Shadowmist Pack book!

In my omegaverse era I loved this book.
There’s a big bad alpha who’s here to protect her mate.. he’s protective and jealous but also patient with her.. loved it.
The hole political plot feels a little “simple” but I enjoyed it anyway and I’ll clearly read following books because the little teasing we had at the end hyped me up!

Part of me dragged this out because I really enjoyed the paranormal elements. I loved the connection between Kitara and Ryker and I loved how he never let her latent wolf be an issue. I'd LOVE more of this world especially Lithia's story.
October 18, 2025
This was pretty good. unfortunately I just couldn't get into it? I felt no connection to the characters or any tension / heat between them. the smut was pretty good but aside from that it was kind of boring to me.
October 26, 2025
It was good. It was kinda like The Wolf King. I feel like the characters didn’t really get to know each other. I did love how fast paced this book was. And also how sweet the guy was. Overall, I enjoyed it.

It can be such a fun experience with one of your favourite authors branches out into a new genre and absolutely smashes it. I’ve loved Evie’s books for quite a while and this foray into paranormal was a joy to read.

This is a highly addicting, couldn't put down fantasy book. Its fast paced, slow burn and I am absolutely hooked. I love the banter and characters. I would really love to see more books from this world. Loved it!!

3.5 stars
As an avid fan of shifter fiction, I thought this was a decent read—simple, engaging, and easy to follow.

Oh my gosh—this was SO, SO, SO good!
I never read PNR/shifter romance… well, I didn’t. But Evie Mitchell changed that. Now I’m wondering why I hadn’t picked it up sooner.
Kitara is a broken shifter—though I won’t spoil how—and she carries powers others would do anything to possess. Cast aside by her pack, forced to fend for herself, and made to feel small from such a young age, she enters the claiming with no expectations. Then Ryder, one of the most feared alphas, chooses her. Over time, he coaxes her out of the shadows in every way. I loved watching that part of their story unfold—how he always knew she was his true mate, yet gave her the space to figure it out on her own while he built her up.
The shifter world itself was absolutely fascinating—the laws, the lore, the dynamics—I couldn’t get enough.
If you love PNR, shifter romance, or deliciously alpha alphas, this book is absolutely for you.
Thank you, Evie, for delivering my favourite read of the year so far 🐺

Kitara is a seer without a wolf, treated worse than a slave. Forced to enter the claiming ceremony where she fears she will be claimed by anyone who wants to use her abilities, or worse, continue to mistreat her, she is surprised when the wolf who claims her wants nothing more than to gain both her trust and her acceptance of who and what she is. As the first book in a series, this book hits all the highs expected as well as giving you a great introduction into what promises to be a wonderful addition to the Fated Mates Genre. Highly recommend
