I have a little bit of whiplash from the beginning of this series. I kinda felt like I was sprinting through the first few chapters. The storyline was rushed to start but then it levels out. Leia created a lovely storyline and the more you the better it gets and that goes for the writing also.
Everything evolved and starting flowing easily after a rough start. The characters were unique and I it was interesting to get to know each and every one. Aurora was incredible and I enjoyed reading about her journey. Stone did a wonderful job building her up throughout the books.

I finally picked up this series after seeing how loved it was, but for me it was terrible. After the first few pages I was ready to DNF the book but I pushed myself until page 90, and it didn't get better. I was really into the storyline, but I don't think it was executed well. There are so many gaps in the story and a jump from one setting to another leaving so many questions unanswered or not making sense. I can start with Aurora accepting right away that werewolves are real and that there is a whole supernatural world she didn't know about. Second, she knows how to be a werewolf from the first moment she opens her eyes. Thirdly, she says to Kai that she wants to take things slowly, but after a few days (3 or 4), she says that she's falling in love with him.
For me this series was a huge disappointment.

Book 1 - Matefinder 4🐺
Matefinder is book one in Leia Stone’s Matefinder series. This book follows Aurora a recently bitten werewolf. After having a terrible car accident and bleeding out she is bitten by a werewolf and turned. But things don’t just stop there, she’s not just a werewolf, she is mate to the alpha Kai who bite her, she is also second in command of the pack, but there is so much more to her than that.
Werewolves that were once human get a special gift, every bitten wolf’s gifts are different, which manifest after their first shift. Aurora is bitten by Kai after she gets in a terrible car accident, after her first change she finds out she is the Matefinder. A Matefinder is rare and is the most hunted wolf, as she has the power to find the mates for the wolves increasing their population. This is needed because werewolves are dying out and are only able breed with their mate and after being blessed in the Mating Ceremony. Mates are rare and almost never found, to know if wolves are mates their wolf form would be opposite in colouring and marking.
But being a werewolf, a dominant female pack member and mate to the alpha doesn’t mean Aurora’s life is peachy. Being the Matefinder means her life is at risk, the vampires want her blood, they want to use her to help wipe out the werewolf race and take humans as blood slaves. Werewolves are protectors, they protect the humans and each other.
I really enjoyed the storyline and characters although I wish the romance between Kai and Aurora was hotter. There is definitely steamy moments between them.
Book 2 - Devi 4⭐️
Devi is book two is Leia Stone’s Matefinder series. This book has so much going on in it. Allies become enemies, unexpected allies are made. I did really enjoy this book, the characters main and secondary are fantastic, makes me want to be apart of the pack. Make sure have tissues on standby and you will need them.
After agreeing to still go ahead with marrying Kai, Aurora makes the decision to learn all she can do with her witch self, even going on a drug induced walk about with Nahuel, to communicate with the Devin spirit.
I still wanted more romance and intimacy between Kai and Aurora. The few scenes were pretty much skipped over with hardly a word about it, they are mated werewolf adults but there was no steamy scenes.
Kai is trying his best to keep his mate safe as well as the rest of the Werewolves and humans, and it may cost him dearly. Aurora has a purpose to restore balance between light and dark, but she is in constant battle with herself.
The Vampires want to use Aurora to mate them fertile, they just need bit of her blood, but she is infertile which makes her blood infertile and useless until after the mating ceremony.
Book 3 - Balance 4⭐️
Balance is the conclusion in Leia Stone’s Matefinder series. A conclusion to a battle between light and dark is what we get.
Want to know if Aurora, Kai and the pack are able to defeat Layla and her evil plans to have evil spawn vampires running around.
This was an enjoyable read, a great conclusion to this trilogy. This book is full of action, with the trouble of vampires wanting Aurora for her blood to make immortal spawns. The characters once again are the spotlight in this book, the secondary characters are a constant positive in the book. Old characters make appearances and new allies are made.
I did have a few issues with this book firstly, Aurora. She was selfish and careless in this book, constantly putting herself in harm's way again and again. I it was the Devi pushing her to complete her reason for being on earth, but Kai, both of them needing a clip over the head. They need to learn to communicate and trust each other. They agreed to work together but are always keeping secrets, you’d think they would have learnt after what happen in Devi. Secondly, the finale seemed to fast paced compared to the rest of the book, that felt repetitive and dragged. But I was happy with the epilogue, a happy ending is need after the cr*p everyone had to go through.

Short
3.5ish
It has good twists and turns and a strong female lead.
I think the park should have been stronger to support her. I felt the man power was just left to her and the Alpha.
I liked Sylvia and Emma.

Beautiful, Amazing, Thrilling, Love, Powerful are all words I can describe this series! What a story!! Can't wait to read the next generation!!

This is an outstanding trilogy. It had enough details to keep me invested and the story line progressed without slowing down at all. I consumed the content and highly recommend it to anyone! It is YA, so it only has a tiny bit of spice, but the story line is worth it hands down.
