BROKEN: Book 1 - Wolves of Oak Creek Fated Mates Romance
She is a living prophecy he was born to destroy. He is the fated mate she cannot remember.
Emillie Cooper woke up in the dirt of Oak Creek with no memory of how she got there or why the moon burns like a fever in her blood. To the local pack, she is a ghost. She is a girl who should not exist, tied to a history of blood that could dismantle their entire way of life. She just wants to survive her senior year, but the shadows in the woods are calling her name.
Caleb Greer knows exactly what Emillie is. As the Alpha’s son, he was raised to protect his people from threats like her. He tries to push her away to keep her safe, yet every time their eyes meet, his wolf recognizes the truth. She is his fated mate.
While Caleb fights his instincts, Emillie feels an impossible pull toward the boy who treats her like a death sentence. In a town where secrets have teeth, the truth will do more than set them free. It will change everything.
Experience the tension of a fated mate romance where the truth is a price they can’t afford to pay.
Broken is a clean, slow-burn YA wolf shifter romance. Perfect for fans of high-stakes yearning, protective heroes, and small-town secrets.

This was a fantastic coming of age paranormal romance. Emillie and Caleb's story was non-stop from beginning to end and I loved it all. From amnesia, perceived hatred, horrible father, responsibility at a too young age, to remembrance, live and a possible new way forward, I was down for it all. I loved both characters so much. I especially loved that this was a clean paranormal romance. So many of them aren't! This is a book I will definitely be rereading!

She tried to hard to be Tolkien. All art fluff and no real story. ZERO character development.
This was a sad attempt at poetic creative writing. Only Tolkien could get away with writing five pages to describe one scene. At least he had dynamic characters, solid plot lines and zero inconsistencies. This was like watching a train wreck.
The initial idea was interesting enough, but the execution was a dud.

Ooo the premise drew me in! Amnesia, shifters, soul mates, secrets and prophecies! Yes, please! Emillie is having memory issues and other people seem to be keeping secrets. There’s also something about this handsome, mysterious guy at her school. Plus, Emillie is experiencing some changes in herself; some quite surprising changes. Enjoyed the read! An interesting YA read!

The overall premise of the book is interesting. It really didn't get interesting until the last couple chapters. Things that should have been slow went fast and things that should be fast were slow.

Really? This book was so immature and I forced myself to read the first few chapters because fated mates is my favourite trope but I just couldn't do it anymore.

slow
A bit too wordy but an interesting story. Justice is not served. Questions unanswered. This is a clean read… yeah! I see more stories in this series.

Emillie and Caleb’s story had the makings of a 5 ⭐️ read, but the inconsistencies in the timeline made it difficult to follow in a few places. Yes, the author removed the duplicate chapter ( according to the email sent out, I’ve not been given a copy of it at the time I’m writing this review. If I can verify that, I will edit the review to reflect it ). But the duplicate chapter wasn’t the only glaring timeline problem. It’s impossible to have the same character be in two places at once and this happened at least twice in this book. I think there may have been a rewrite situation, where the author chose to go in a different direction than they originally intended, but that’s not addressed, so that is just a guess on my part, and I need to base my review on what I actually read. I will say I enjoyed the characters themselves and feel that if the inconsistencies had been removed and the timelines worked out , this could have been a 4-5 ⭐️ read for me. As it stands I give it 3 ✨’s I received an ARC of this book and am choosing to leave this review.
