The Rejected Mate
By Caitlin Andrews
The story runs in so many different directions. It goes one way then runs off in a totally different direction and on and on. The grammer and punctuation is horrid.
There are multiple points of view from many different characters which just makes it all the more confusing. The world-building is minimal because the world keeps changing. It has no rules.

The story and characters are all over the place. Everything feels random and just on a forced march forward. I don't know the rules of the world. When can werewolves shift? Are there humans? Do humans know about the werewolves? What's the deal with the witches, vampires, and fae that seem to just crash the plot? Have the werewolves always known about these creatures or is their existence new? What are the rules for these beings? Where do they live?
The main character, Emma, feels like a self insert and a very special magical chosen self insert at that. She's constantly a victim, but one with a bunch of hot men who want her and a ton of powers and she's destined to be really important. But there's no good justification for why she's a victim--which I would have went along with if everyone didn't immediately apologize to her, acknowledge there was no reason to beat her, and they want to be her best friend. But it's too jarring to both have this character bullied and brutalized for no reason and have the others acknowledge it.
I have no idea why these guys want her (and the only male who doesn't want her is related to her or is dating her best friend---a character who is mentioned twice and the author felt she had to put who he was in parenthesis because even she didn't think you'd remember him). She seems really annoying and dramatic. And for all these guys fighting over her and wishing to be her man, we get no sexy time or even fluttery tummy scenes. Is this a romance or an adventure or what? I'm not getting any sense of what the book is.
I can see some kind of grammar and spell check was performed, unfortunately the spell checker chose whatever the program recommended instead of the correctly spelled word. At one point the MC "cruised" instead of "curtseyed" for example. I loved this error because it created a mentally funny image AND because the author spelled curtseyed correctly later.
The story is really repetitive. The MC will think something in her head and then immediately say it to the others out loud in the next line. The reader gets to listen to the MC explain how her parents were killed at least three times, and it's exactly the the same retelling. At one point, the others get hold of a journal and they read the journal and then tell the others what the journal says. So the readers get to read everything twice back to back.
There is a lot of telling and no showing. The characters tell me they are sorry or they tell me they are mad or they read an origin story from another book. We don't ever see any of this. I don't get to see Emma's powers or the world in peril or even the romance/sexual tension between her and her mates.
At first I wanted to recommend the book as a so bad it's funny style story, but at 58% completion on Chapter 11, I just got really annoyed with the book and didn't want to read anymore. It might be too frustrating to recommend in any capacity.

Details are off
Let me start by saying I've read several rejected mates stories. I love a strong female wolf. (Especially when she was first assumed to be weak and beneath the others) I tried not to give spoilers but there may be some small ones.
So the rejection happened when she turned 16. She takes off. Comes back 3 years later... she'd be at least 19 by this point. Yet the events that are taking place after she returns are a week before she turns 18?
Also, no mention of what happens to Rebecca. No mention of what happened to the packs once they went to Silver cove (or wherever they go).
It's one thing to forgive a bully who just was rude or made you a "slave" to do chores. It's another to forgive them for beating you (both Jack and Jackson). I find it hard to believe that her family just as easily forgives them for it. I know the men in my family would probably take a few hits before they would even consider it.
The build up to the war takes longer than the war does. And *spoiler* why would she even think about mating with the vampire? I mean, if he was kind to her in the beginning and then turned evil vs the warewolf who was evil in the beginning who turned good... i would understand that. But you would think there may have been a small chance she'd pick the vampire. *end spoiler*
A few times they change the the character for a different POV. The Issue with this I noticed was it wasn't adding any value to the story because it was almost exactly the same.
There are also several editing issues with spelling, missing words from sentences and wrong word choices.

Okay....
Okay where to start with this book... This book had so much promise.......
That said what the hell happened you kept changing the story line and this needs major editing..... Overall gave me a major headache trying to keep up. I'm sorry it needs rewritten with a better editor and one solid plot and story line. And maybe not make the characters sound like bumbling fools.

Are you kidding me
Ok so the backbone of the book had potential but too many pov and half the time it made no sense. The grammar was horrid. I soubt English is the author's language so whoever translated sucked. Its like this person wrote down each main chapter point on tiny strips of paper shook it in a hat and then put them in a line one by one and just went with it. The characters are horrible. And everything is rushed just yuck.

This book grammar wise is a lot better than the first one. There's still a lot of work that needs to be done but I believe if the author sticks with it and continues to improve there will be some great books in the future. The premise behind the story is good. It's an excellent idea it just needs to be put together better.

Desperately in need of an editor
It reads as though this was written using voice text and then never revised. I was ok with the beginning but when she walks away from her mate one day and is kissing another the next day with absolutely no dialog, I wanted to stop reading. This story has potential. But sadly the author gave It a mediocre effort.

Could of been great
This book started out good, their are alot of spelling mistakes. It was like reading a draft from a newbie writer. The story didn't flow it got chaotic then random characters popped up, their wasn't much depth. I felt like this story was rushed and was thrown together .

DNF @ 23%
Everything about this is bad. From the writing, characters, spelling, grammar to not using the correct words. The word cruised does not replace the word curtsy. I can’t even imagine the reason for this to be over 100 pages. Luckily I didn’t pay for it, I used kindle unlimited or else I would truly be upset.

Don't do it!
The grammar in this book makes it so hard to read, it repeats paragraphs over and over again. I don't think I have ever stopped reading a book before but it was so hard to get through this. I tried but it sounds like it was translated from another language into English and nobody bothered to edit it.

Good but hard
It's a good story to an extent, a little choppy, and hard to read. It seems as though the author has many ideas but with how the story plays out it gets a little confusing. Your reading and then you're like, "where the hell did that part come from". Again good but... A little confusing.

Don’t pay money for this book
This is one of the most poorly written books I’ve read. The premise is good, but the grammar and punctuation are not. Give this to a good editor and do some better world building, and you’ll have a good story.

This book is all over the place. The characters and sorry line would be alot better if it didnt bounce around so much. I had so much hope, I do think it can be reworked and become a good book. But right now it is all over the place and makes for a bad read.

Emma and Jackson
Wonderful story but It left a small hole. It did not say what hap p.o wned to Rebecca. I think that we need to know why she did what she sid and what happened to her

Not worth the time
The plot is ridiculous and impossible to follow. It is simplistic.
Character development is non-existent.
There are so many typos that, at times, it becomes impossible to understand what is trying to be conveyed.

Rejected mate
Good storyline but grammar and editing leaves a lot to be desired. Also some confusion on whether Emma was pregnant during the wars and if she was what happened because it sounds like she did not get pregnant until 11 months after the war.

Not good
Was hoping this book would improve as it sou fed good, but alas my hopes were dashed. Very disjointed and the timing was bad, it could have been so good but was a major letdown.

Good
It's a good plot, but it definitely needs a good editing, but I otherwise enjoyed it immensely. I always love a good rejected mate story

The rejected mate
Great story. I’m glad it went through what it did. Would have liked to have what happened to the other pack after they found mates

Too many misspelled words
This book had a good storyline. However there were several grammar and spelling errors. Making think that it was properly edited.

This book needs help
The plot has promise but the choppy writing and atrocious spelling made it impossible to stay focused on the story. Needs proof reading before publishing.

Same feelings to about this as the first book muted
Pretty much the same as the first book muted. The concepts are great but it really could do with rewriting.

Barely Functional Grammar
The author needs to go back to eighth grade English or get a better software editing program. This was just painful to read.

It was a good book. Got a little slow at one point but if picked back up pretty quickly. I would recommend it.

I like the story idea but the pacing was so off sometimes I got whiplash while reading. It needed better transitions.

it could’ve been good
The story was rushed and the grammatical errors were aplenty. The main character is not very likable either. But it has the potential to be great

There is a lot of typos, but still, a good book to read I will probably read it again at some point
