Jade Michaels is a coyote shifter who rebels against society and embraces the negative stereotypes of her kind. Her father bailed on her mother the second she found out she was pregnant leaving Jade to believe that true mates are nothing more than fabricated fairytales. At the start of her senior year at the ARC, Jade is determined to leave her mark and embarks on a campus wide inclusion campaign. Her #1 goal is to take down Greek Row.
Brett Evans was the youngest president of his Delta Omega Gamma chapter and currently also resides as the president of Greek Row at the ARC. He learns of Jade’s crusade when the school administration begins to push back and insist the Greeks become more inclusive. When he goes to crash a campus bonfire party Jade is hosting, he gets much more than he bargains for! Jade Michaels, his sworn enemy is his one true mate.
They may both be coyote shifters, but at first glance that appears to the be the only thing these two have in common.
When they stumble across a deep, dark secret within the walls of the ARC, will they be able to set their differences aside to save the school? Or will their own prejudices towards each other be the fall of Archibald Reynolds?

I can't help it how my mind is blown every time!!! So here’s my broken record again ;) lol ... WOW! Ms. Trettel has done it again! "Midnight Promise" is the 3rd book in the amazing ARC Shifters College & latest shifter stand-alone that’s kind of a spin-off from her other phenomenal series’ and IMHO deserves 6 stars! ... I was hooked from the start & glued to my seat with this fresh, new storyline! Fantastic romance with suspense & likable characters that come to life & witty dialogue. Plus, great attention to detail that pulls the reader into the book! Even tho I always volunteer to read this author’s books early, I’ve also bought many of her previous kindle books when I was able to. So yes, these are my honest feelings without any outside influences & I highly recommend this & all her shifter books to adult fans of fiction and I can't wait for more, but I will ;)

Midnight Promise de Julie Trettel serie ARC Shifters libro 3
Argumento:
Jade Michaels es una cambiaformas coyote que se rebela contra la sociedad y acepta los estereotipos negativos de su especie. Su padre abandonó a su madre en el momento en que descubrió que estaba embarazada, dejando a Jade creyendo que las verdaderas parejas no son más que cuentos de hadas inventados. Al comienzo de su último año en ARC, Jade está decidida a dejar su huella y se embarca en una campaña de inclusión en todo el campus. Su objetivo número 1 es derribar a Greek Row.
Brett Evans fue el presidente más joven de su capítulo Delta Omega Gamma y actualmente también reside como presidente de Greek Row en el ARC. Se entera de la cruzada de Jade cuando la administración de la escuela comienza a retroceder e insiste en que los griegos se vuelvan más inclusivos. Cuando va a colarse en una fiesta con fogatas en el campus que organiza Jade, ¡obtiene mucho más de lo que espera! Jade Michaels, su enemigo jurado es su único compañero verdadero.
Ambos pueden ser cambiaformas coyotes, pero a primera vista parece ser lo único que estos dos tienen en común.
Cuando tropiecen con un profundo y oscuro secreto dentro de los muros del ARC, ¿serán capaces de dejar de lado sus diferencias para salvar la escuela? ¿O serán sus propios prejuicios mutuos la caída de Archibald Reynolds?
Mi humilde opinión:
Midnight Promise continúa con las parejas destinadas en Archibald Reynolds. Esta vez dos coyotes enemigos jurados encuentran la suya.
Al principio Jade simplemente me hacía chirriar los dientes con su manía de seguir con su cruzada en contra de las casas de fraternidad, aunque estaba claro que estaban cambiando para aceptar a todos los cambiaformas. Cierto que algunas casas no eran inclusivas y había quienes no recibían bien a otros cambiaformas pero no todos eran malos y estaban dispuestos a modificar las reglas. Pensé que ella juzgaba y no se tomó la molestia de investigar más a fondo la casa de Brett y cómo él estaba cambiando las cosas. Ella suponía que era el malvado de la película.
Jade lucha mucho con sus inseguridades y hasta toma la drástica decisión de romper su vínculo con Brett. Me pareció tonta la razón por la que se decidió a dejarlo. Pero finalmente se da cuenta de la buena persona que es Brett y que su familia en D.O.G lo son también.
Kaitlyn es su primera amiga y es que no le dio opción a Jade. Por momentos me parecieron demasiado sus intervenciones y atribuciones. No me decido si es molesta o la más dulce.
Damon no estuvo bien con Jade en el pasado pero aquí se nota que él cambió cuando encontró a su pareja y lo demostró pidiéndole disculpas a Jade.
A pesar de todo, Jade y Brett eran una linda pareja. Disfruté verlos dejar los prejuicios de lado y suposiciones sobre el otro, conocerse de verdad, arreglar sus diferencias, enamorarse y al final convertirse en un frente unido.
El giro sorprendente sucede casi al final! Por qué? Estaba esperando saber más de los grupos Raglans y Verndari. Aquí los Raglans estaban encubiertos en la escuela y secuestrando cambiaformas para sus experimentos. Jade descubre que fue una víctima de ellos y junto con Brett, sus amigos y algunos profesores miembros de los Verndari logran atraparlos.
Esta no es una lectura que mantenga la acción o el suspenso pero me interesan las parejas destinadas, los personajes y el dulce romance. Por ahora seguiré leyendo a ver qué pasa...
The ' Westin pack series is one of my favorites, but I enjoyed how she has linked each series while still being able to let each book and characters stand alone. I fell in love with the characters and I’m sad this book ended. I can’t wait for the next ARC series. I recommend this book
Jade Michaels had a chip on her shoulder and wanted the Greek Sororities and Fraternities to be shut down at the ARC. As a coyote shifter she had always had to face negativity and being judged for what she is and not who she is. Her goal is to make the ARC a fully inclusive school by taking down Greek Row. Little does she know that her arch nemesis, Brett Evans, the D.O.G president is destined to be her true mate. Brett is aware of Jade and her aim to take his fraternity down along with all the others on Greek row and is fully prepared to put a stop to her. During a very public scene Jade and Brett discover they are true mates. They have to set aside their anger and hate in order to love. A super cute read of how two opposites can attract and just how much love can open the mind while also bringing people together.
Everytime I read a book from this author I think wow I love it then the next one releases and it blows my mind. I love the shifter world she created and this is my favourite in the ARC shifters book . Brett and Jade couldn't be more different in looks . They are nemesis as they both stand for different things. He's well loved and an Alpha of his own accord, she's an emo that hates what the Greek Row stands for and doing her best to disassemble it. Read on to see how things progress between them.
XXX! Adult content, reader discretion advised. So acceptance is a simple concept In theory is should be simple to execute. In reality it is much more difficult. Bret found acceptance on Greek row. Jade was jaded on Greek row. Finding acceptance of the other was on first appearance an insurmountable task. And the cause snowballed into a campus wide issue. Then the hidden Vendari sect who couldn’t accept shifters as equals was the exciting subplot. Love how all the series are twined together!
I liked Jade and Brett's story as it was very entertaining. Not only are they both outwardly complete opposites. No, they also prefer another campus lifestyle. And that leads to a war-like situation in this book. - The interesting thing was that in the end the problem solved itself with a huge party and a one true mate confession. The acceptance of the mate bond was almost instantaneous here, which certainly contributed to the fact that neither of the two was seriously hurt.
I have read several and even followed them in order right up to this ARC series. I hate to admit I'm old but I am :) and following all the characters helps my brain matter but Julie is great giving With short hints about characters that refresh my memory without taking up a lot of chatter space. Stories are mating ones with lots of twists and turns.
This was a great addition to the series! An enemies to lovers situation. Jade and Brett hated each other, and they’d never even met. They were pitted against each other over the battle of inclusion and Greek row at the ARC. What they didn’t realize is who they were to each other....true mates who had a hard road ahead. It’s all worth it though. (And I loved how the story line tied into past shifter books. Perfect!)
This was an absolutely hilarious story that starts off with enemies, but of course fate has completely different plans for them! When they think that things will finally settle down a bit, along comes a horrific tragedy that no one saw coming. It's definitely a story that you won't want to miss! I would definitely recommend this book, series, and outstanding author.
Coyote Jade Michaels proudly wears the boulder on her shoulder and hates everyone equally, her latest crusade is against the principal of Greek row and their exclusive parties, namely Brett Evans who has the misfortune of being this year’s president and has to answer whatever charges she’s leveling. When they meet the mate bond snaps, they don’t dislike each other as much but this reader did. Rating: 3.25stars
Jade finds fiends, her one true mate and a terrible secret. Brett find his one true mate, compromise and a horrible secret. ARC may not be safe after all for shifters. What better place to experiment on shifters than the college specific for them! I enjoyed Brett and Jades story. It was fun to see Jade come into her own!
The love story of Jade and Brett. The Greek Row is under attack. Delta Omega Game is fighting back. Jade is out to bring down all of the Greek club until she meets her true mate. Who will win love or a inclusive of all in the Greek or is there something else going on? Great story.
Ok it wasn't my favourite Jade wants to be accept but she has biased and one way view when it comes to Greek row. I get her past experience wasn't good but she espically hates the Dogs yet know nothing about them didn't even now Chad was a dog for instance. If it was just this plot I would have given it 3 stars.
However there is also the added threat that's been running through them since westin pack that has got the star rating up.
I am persevering with this series and author but I am finding all the books are too similar and I am starting to sway in interest. I like that the overall plot seems to pull through from all the series, but the single plot of each book is just not exciting any more.
This book is good. I really got into it around a 3rd into the book. From then on, it was exciting and interesting to see how Jade & Brett came to terms of being mates. The Ranglan part of the plot was interesting also.
Jade and Brett have never met but hate each other because they believe stereotypes are true. When they clash at a bonfire, the heat is shocking. As they discover each other's real selves,another truth threatens the campus.
Absolutely loved this book. The characters end up being perfect together and they beat the danger that they find out is right at the school. If you liked bk 1 & 2 you'll love bk3. Awesome series
Love the whole series, would recommend reading Westin Pack first before Collier Pack, ARC Shifters and Westin Force, as it makes the characters fall into place and make sense with no spoilers
