“The arrival of the Prophetess will bring both hope and destruction for the wolves of the world.

She alone will be able to save them–or damn them.”

The dark prophecy that has been passed down since the first pack of shifters is coming to fruition– and I am at the center of it.

An orphaned human taken in by a pack of wolves. The fate of their existence in my hands.

I’ve been treated as the dirt beneath the pack’s paws for years.

Will they be able to accept my new role when my powers surface? Will I be able to forgive them enough to help them?

The bright spot amongst all the turmoil...finding my three fated. Until one of them rejects our bond.

The one thing I know for sure...death is coming for us all, soon, and the person responsible for it? Their betrayal is going to alter the shifter world forever.

I’ll conquer my powers, protect the packs, and live happily ever after with my men, right?

Wrong.

No one is prepared for the vile truths of my visions to come to light.

Found cold and abandoned Kira (FMC) gets taken into the pack that found her. Only being human makes her an outcast to everyone there and the brunt of their hatred and disdain. Living a life of servitude at the mercy of the Alpha and his pack. Events turn for Kira though on the night of the full moon where the whole pack find their mates. From then on i loved how Kira stepped up to her future and grew in confidence. Lux is a great addition too. Swoon Milo and Seth definitely brought on the steam. I liked Milo from the very beginning as he was the only one who stuck up for Kira. Grrrrrr Jameson just got on my nerves with all the love/hate stuff. He just couldnt make his mind up and i just wanted to slap him for the way he treated Kira. He didnt deserve her and after that ending i believed that even more so. It was a cracking read and im dying to get my hands on the next book

Outcast by R.L. Caulder is the first book in the new pack Prophecy series and it was freaking awesome. This multiple perspective paranormal reverse harem centers on Kira, a human servant to a wolf pack as she discovers that she is at the center of a werewolf prophecy that will either save the wolves or destroy them all.

I really admired Kira, she was in a difficult situation growing up with the pack and having them treat her with such disregard because the alpha set the pace with his mistreatment of her, blaming her for events that happened when she was just a child that was far out of her control. No matter the disdain Kira did her part within the pack and did it with a respect (that they didn't deserve) and with grace. My heart went out to her for all the bullying she endured, losing the only person who really cared for her and only one true friend in Milo, to turn to, things were hard for her. However things don't stay that way, after certain turn of events Kira learns who she really is and takes on great responsibility, and in doing that she grows stronger, more confident, compassionate, and is ready to face what's coming. I loved seeing this change in her, realizing she is more than what her bullies say, that she is worth more than the scrutiny she gets.

Her mates see Kira's true worth, Milo who was always there for her, who stood up for her and had always believe they belonged together. Then there is Seth who isn't perfect but is showing her the love that she deserves, while I adore Milo it's Seth that has me swooning, especially with that bad boy vibe he gives off. Both are loving and protective towards Kira even if that means protecting her from her third mate. Because while yes this is a reverse harem, fated mate story it's also a rejected mate story. Jameson (the alpha's son) and Kira used to be close then tragedy and Jameson turned into a complete jerk and has been awful to Kira and when the bond clicks into place he rejects her. Jameson is stuck in darkness but instead of fighting his way out of it he wallows and takes all his anger out on her. Kira has a big heart and she still held on to the boy he used to be so she gives him chance after chance but it seems useless. While I understand his grief it doesn't give him the right to act the way he does, I don't see any redemption for him, not after this.

The story was great and while it had familiar elements it also had an air of uniqueness. Kira a human growing up in a wolf pack but then found out that she is tied irrevocably to the wolves. A reverse harem that has fated and rejected mates, a mysterious background, shady characters, alphas that are jerks, bullies, werewolf mythology, magic and so much more. I love hearing about the Moon Goddess, Selene, and how she is connected to the wolves and how that manifests with Kira. I also love the mysterious events that happened in the past that tie into what's going on currently that make a nicely intricate story that grabs my interest and held it, I loved it. The ending was especially killer, while I knew something was up I did not see the drama that unfolded at the end, talk about a cliffhanger.

Outcast was a whirlwind of emotion, magic, betrayal, romance, a female character growing into her own, surprises, and danger. I loved it and I am excited about the next book because Kira is just starting to become who she was always meant to be and the war has yet to be won.

R.L. Caulder...I bow down to you! Holy crap, this book was freaking amazing! This story was so unique and intricate.
It weaved a tale so detailed and descriptive that I willing got lost in the words R.L. Caulder so magically created.

Kira completely took my breath away. This strong, confident, resilient woman who was continuously knocked down by those around her. The hope she continued to harbor despite the many obstacles she faced and will face. Their is so much beauty intricately woven in her soul. And even with how she has been treated she will fight to the death to defend and protect all shifters.

It was enamoring to watch Kira’s soul flourish once she came into her wolf, who she truly is, including the fated bond with her mates. She became even more confident and powerful in her abilities and purpose in life. Add in two beautifully protective and loving mates in Milo and Seth and Kira’s time had come.

There are some many moments that will have you wanting to throw your reading device at the wall, swoon in love, or feel immense pride. R.L. Caulder brought out so many emotions with the intense, action filled ride she presented to us in this phenomenal story!

That ending...ugh I need more ASAP! So absolutely FANTASTIC! I can’t wait for more 🖤

1 or 1.5 stars

The first chapter is all about how Kira has been bullied by the whole pack and only Milo is kind to her, and then comes chapter 2 where Seth, her #1 bully’s best friend, who’s been a passive witness to the bullying for 16 years now suddenly started to flirt with her, asking her if she was thinking about his cock in her while she was touching herself in the shower and feeling possessive of her (while we’re talking about it, why on Earth would you just decide to masturbate yourself in the shower when your bully's best friend is right there waiting for you to come out? Couldn’t it wait? Were you that desperate?!?!). Where the fluff did that come from?! He just suddenly appears to have a crush on her and is not so bad after all?! And he’s SO HOT that she can’t control herself anymore?!

There is also fact that Kira is presented as a quiet and reserved woman, trying to be forgotten and not to attract attention to herself, but that she suddenly decides to talk back and be sassy one day just because she feels like it seems way too convenient. As if the author wanted to show us a poor bullied girl to get us to feel bad for her, but then everything falls into place for her to get all the pretty boys around her because she decided to stand up for herself at the same time that Seth mysteriously (and weirdly) started to show interest.

“Come on, Kitten. I’m sure you look fine. We need to go.”
Why did him saying I looked ‘fine’ send a pang of insecurity through my brain?
Why did I want him to view me as more than fine?


The whole insta-lust vibe just fell off, and I did not really like it. It made me roll my eyes and want to slap Kira in the face. Here is a recap of Kira’s mental state in the first chapters of this book: “Oh they were mean to me for the last 16 years but they’re so hot they give me tingles everywhere. I hate them, but I get wet as soon as they give me a little attention or touch me”. 🙄 Get a grip girl!

I do love well-done RH and mate romances, but I struggled with this one. Out of Kira’s three mates, only one (Milo) was nice and kind to her. The second (Seth) watched her being bullied and never tried to stop it, and only started treating her with something akin to respect once she became his mate. The third (Jameson) is Kira’s #1 bully and a COMPLETE jerk with no redeemable qualities. The characters are all pretty shallow and there is no real connection or chemistry, besides the fact that Kira finds them oh-so-sexy and can’t resist grinding on them, and they can’t stop touching her either. I get the whole mate/supernatural attraction, but the fact that she just seemed to forgive Seth and even Jameson because they were tortured souls and she couldn’t live without them now made this whole RH more frustrating than exciting.

Besides that, the writing is quite simplistic, it’s all telling and no showing and it feels juvenile even though the characters are supposed to be 21 years old. It was full of petty jealousy, horny teenagers, and a mission to save the world just so it feels more serious because there’s not much story besides the whole mate drama. Then there are the dialogues, which are just bland and cringy. Even the main character’s inner monologues were awkward and it felt immature.

She was flawless.
A striking smile lit up her face, putting me at ease in an instant. Something about her seemed familiar, but surely I would remember having met such an otherworldly and beautiful woman.
“Thank you. How intriguing that you felt the emotions of the song without the capability to understand me. Perhaps your soul knows that it is about you and your role in the prophecy.”
Confusion rocked me to my core, and my mouth parted to ask her a question, but for some reason laughter bubbled up out of me instead.
When her face turned somber at my reaction, my hands flew over my mouth in shock. She was serious. But that couldn’t be.
“I’m so sorry. I thought you were pranking me. You can’t be serious....” I trailed off, my eyes wide as saucers. When she just gave me a perplexed look, I continued, “I’m just an ordinary human. I have no special talents—except maybe scrubbing floors. Honestly, I don’t even know anything about the world outside of these pack lands, because I’ve been confined here for the past seventeen years, and…” She held a delicate hand up, cutting my ramblings off.
“Did you just call yourself a human?” She inquired with genuine curiosity.
Was this a trick question?
“Yes?” I answered hesitantly, wondering why she would think otherwise.
It was her turn to laugh now, but her laughter was one that was contagious, and I found myself laughing along with her until we both wiped tears from our eyes.
We spoke at the same time, “It’s so funny that you thought I wasn’t human,” came from me as she said, “You’re hilarious, my young Prophetess.”
Did she just call me a prophetess?
“Kira, you can’t be serious right now,” she said incredulously with a raised brow.
Looking around, it dawned on me—this must be a dream.


I don’t know, maybe I’m just being picky but I just didn’t enjoy the dialogues in the book. There is also an info dump at about 25% of the book, which did not help me get into the book after the whole weird and frustrating beginning.

This is such an amazing first in a new series! This is the first time I have read any of R.L Caulder's books but it will not be the last!!

Kira is found cold and abandoned at around the age of four. She was taken in by the pack that found her, where the Alpha's mate looked after her and nursed her back to health. Unfortunately, the pack was attacked and the blame was promptly laid at Kira's feet. As she was only a human, Kira was shunned by the pack and was made an outcast to everyone there. She bared the brunt of their hatred and disdain and lived a life of servitude. She was always at the mercy of the Alpha and his pack. Events turn for her though on the night of the full moon when she came of age, not only did she find out that she wasn't human, but she finds out that she is a key player in a Dark Prophecy that, if she fails, could doom all shifters to death.

This book will grab you in from page one and you will not want to stop! The characters are brilliant- you really love the good guys and you really hate the baddies! The world-development is really good with where they are: rural woods and isolated, but the descriptions of the compound and how the pack works/lives are painted beautifully. Each male has their own personality and they work so well together and yet when they fight they do that perfectly as well. Kira is a strong FMC, she just never realized she was. She is a great flawed character that makes us look at ourselves and realize that we all judge ourselves the most and the harshest.

This brilliant book is fast-paced and always has us on the edge of our seats. With the ending the way it was I can only hope that book 2 is not too far away!! A definite must-read for fans of PNR, shifters, fated mates, enemies to lovers. This book is RH so there are multiple steamy steams, with multiple mates, and there is a fair amount of colorful language.

Wow this book was a rollercoaster of emotions, from start to finish I just didn’t know what to expect next in this book. Kira a “human” who gets abandoned by her parents live with the shifters she is loved by maya who gets taken from her and Jameson by the Daimoma. Alright so that’s the back story, bring to present she is now the outcast the alpha blamed her for the death of his wife and so did Jameson her best friend the alpha son, the only person who shows her any care is milo there is instant sexual energy from the two of them right off the bat, and shortly after Seth who is Jameson’s right hand man starts showing his affections, why now he wasn’t the abuser but he also didn’t stop it.
So this is just the beginning of this book so much information right there ... and since I said this book was a roller coaster I won’t give anything more away.
I was hesitant at first I’m not usually ones for fast burns I like it slow the angst of it all but this was written so well in my opinion it just made sense for it to work .. this story line was incredible I was sucked in and needed to know what would happen next the character you love and characters you genuinely hate you feel for Kira and you Instantly like her, she is strong kind forgiving funny she is a great main character. The cliffhanger was a killer so I will be anxiously waiting for book 2. Overall 5 stars for this read ! Looking forward to more and more from this author!

Let me just start by telling you, this book’s cover is absolutely stunning. Praises to the person who did it, because it’s beautiful, eye catching, and I think it portrays perfectly who Kira is. Gorgeous, fierce, a fucking warrior.
I’ve been having a hard time finding PNR books that can catch my attention for more than a few chapters, feeling like they’re all the same, the plot, the characters...but this one was exactly what I didn’t know I needed.
It was addictive, captivating, interesting, it sucked me in since chapter 1, and I couldn’t stop reading until the very end.
Kira was shunned, humiliated, harassed, mocked, bullied, she suffered so much by the hands of that pack, it was heartbreaking.
And then something happened. Something within herself came alive and she told herself that she was done being undermined by others. She grew a backbone and showed the ones that harmed her that she wasn’t beneath them. She showed them her strength. The one she was born to be. And it was absolutely stunning.
One of the things that made me like her even more was that, after everything she went through, after everything they’ve done to her, she still has it in her to forgive them.
Because she’s better than them.
Her inner strength is one her most beautiful and captivating qualities because it takes a great amount of power to forgive and accept the ones who wronged you, the ones that hurt you. And she’s the most powerful of them all. Because she took their hatred and gave them kindness.
I loved this first book. I think it was an amazing start to the series and the cliffhanger just increased my hunger for more.
She has a difficult journey ahead of her. It won’t be easy, but I’m super excited to see her succeed 💗

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5

My dudes, this book was so fucking phenomenal that I don’t even know where to start with my review. Seriously, it’s amazing.

I’m not usually a huge fan of shifter books, they’re pretty cheesy and cliche, but Outcast is not your typical spin on shifters/fated mates. RL’s storyline is so unique and detailed that I was instantly sucked in, and the characters she’s crafted are amazing.

Our FMC Kira is seriously one resilient BAMF. As the lone human living among the pack of Wolf shifters who took her in as a child, Kira is treated like absolute garbage. The pack uses and abuses her, tormenting the poor girl for their own amusement, but all of that changes when she comes into powers she wasn’t aware she had.

You’d think everything would be better for her now, right? Nope! Our girl can’t seem to catch a break—her position with the pack is uncertain, there’s a dark prophecy looming over her head, AND she’s dealing with mate bond drama, all while having to accept her new abilities and figure out how to save the shifter world. Easy peasy, right? Sike! If she fails then everyone dies.

Outcast ends in one hell of a cliffhanger, and I’m dying to see how this pans out for Kira.

Did I just devour this book in one sitting? Yes, yes I did! This book was AMAZING! And R. L. Caulder should be proud of herself for this fine masterpiece!

This book was amazing, I loved the storyline and the characters in this book! And omg that ending!😱 my heart is in two! But seriously good for you Kira! Hold that head up high!

Kira is an amazing FMC she is so strong and she doesn’t even realise it! I love how unsure she is of herself at times, it makes her feel more real to me and that I can truly connect with her! But let me tell you Kira is going to be a badass we only just saw slice of what’s to come in the future!

I honestly don’t even no where to start with the guys, each of them is unique and different. We definitely have more to see of them and how there relationship will grow and change throughout the course of the book! I feel for Jameson I really do... but at the same time I want to slap him upside the head! Men are such fickle creatures sometimes.

I loved how Kira handled Sofia and the friendship that came out of it! I honestly want to see a lot more of Sofia in future books, I think is a great side character!

This book is a reverse harem that has tropes of rejected mates, enemies to lovers, friends to lovers! This book has plenty of sexy times and action but be warned it ends on a cliffhanger! The wait will be hard but the next book will be totally worth it in my opinion!

Okay, let me start off by saying that i love wolf-shifter paranormal romances. so if you are down with those, you will freaking love this series.

Outcast introduces us to Kira, an orphaned human living amongst and being incessantly bullied by the pack of wolves she grew up with. However, everything changes on the shifting full moon.

Although in the beginning you don’t necessarily see how terrible she’s treated, you first hand experience her growth as a character. No more are the days of being a doormat. Kira grows into a strong as hell character who isn’t gonna take shit from these pack assholes. And let me tell you, by the end of the book my blood was boiling with how much I wanted to kick some of their asses.

Now, let me introduce to you the harem (🥵). First up, you have Milo. The sweet best friend who always saw Kira’s potential and tried a pushing her not to take crap from the pack. Milo can melt your heart. Up next, we have Seth. The sarcastic guy who you can just picture his smirk and start drooling. Seth is the guy who can melt your panties. And finally, Jameson... The broody, angry, blinded guy. Most likely, you’re gonna want to kill him with your bare hands. However, your girl over here loves a good idiot asshat.

This book was so addictive. I couldn’t put it down. I seriously CAN NOT wait for the next book in this series because I NEED TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS NEXT.

Outcast by R.L. Caulder is book 1 in the new Pack Prophecy series and is a RH/paranormal romance. It was one of my most anticipated reads for March and it definitely surpassed all of my expectations.

As an orphaned human raised by a pack of wolves, Kira has been treated as the lowest member of the pack and forced into completing menial tasks and basically servitude. When a dark prophecy unfolds with Kira in the center, she discovers that she holds the fate of the shifters in her hands. I loved Kira as a FMC and getting to see her grow in confidence and really come into her own in this story. She totally owned her sexuality and wasn’t afraid to ask for/demand what she wanted. I also loved Seth and Milo and felt like they had the perfect balance of being supportive and letting Kira take control, while also still being overprotective alpha-holes. The other MMC who shall not be named definitely has a lot of groveling/making up to do before he gets redemption with me though.

R.L. Caulder did some fantastic storytelling and world-building in this book. And man can she write a villain that you just hate with a fiery passion. This story really felt unique especially with both the fated mates and rejected mate storyline. Outcast does end in a cliffhanger, but I mean would it really be a R.L. Caulder book if the ending didn’t make you want to throw your kindle across the room?! 🤣 I can’t wait to see what comes next for Kira and her mates and will be counting down the days until book 2 Outlaw releases!!

Wow!!!! Outcast was absolutely amazing. It combined all of my favorite tropes ie. rejected mates, enemies to lovers, reverse harem, and even bullying. The plot and the character building was just what I needed. R.L. Caulder has outdone her self once more and I couldn’t be happier.

Our FMC starts her life off alone and broken. She tries to avoid all altercations within the pack that took her in. Until the full moon turned her into the ultimate badass and she stopped letting everyone walk all over her.

Let’s jump into our beautiful men. Oh, Milo!!!! If I could just jump into the book and bring him out with me, I would. He was sweet and protective. He didn’t care what the pack thought of his relationship with Kira. He knew the entire time that she would be his mate. Seth. I wasn’t sure I would love his character as much as I do now but once he called her kitten and laid on the “smolder,” I knew I was doomed to love him. Now Jameson.... this guy.... he INFURIATED me. I don’t think I’ve ever yelled at a book before until him. Honestly, how many chances can our FMC give him.

Although this book ended on a cliffhanger, I can’t wait to see the characters development in the next book. Will Jameson finally be able to pull his head out of his ass?!? Will Kira even give him the time of day?

This was a relatively quick paced, engaging story with a solid story line, intricately detailed and well developed characters and enough drama, mystery and angst to keep you completely engrossed all the way through. There is a lot going on in this story but it is well paced and very easy to keep up with all the information we gain in this book. I thought this was a great start to a series. I really like this author's take on shifters and the mythology she has created is really interesting and creative. I enjoyed the growth that Kira experienced and I like who she is becoming, Milo and Seth are also enjoyable characters with distinct personalities and I like the different strengths they bring to the relationship with Kira. I enjoyed the different POV’s. It really added a depth to the story, I enjoy getting glimpses of other characters' perceptions of situations. But, Jameson is a difficult character to like. While I empathize with his pain, I have a hard time seeing how he could redeem himself after the ending of this book! That being said, Kira has a huge heart and is so forgiving . Overall this was an engaging book . I read this in one sitting and could not put it down. I am really looking forward to the next in this series.

Holy hell, this book is freaking glorious. I’m in love with it and need more. Like, yesterday please. It is off the charts with intensity and some mind blowing plot twists. Usually I’m really good at figuring out what’s coming, but this book caught me off guard a couple times, which makes me love it even more. Our poor (bada**) MC, Kira, is a human in a shifter world. Orphaned and taken in, but treated like a human maid, at best. The shifters have made her life almost unbearable. But the “coming of age shift” that happens shortly into the book, where all the pack who are of age, shift and attempt to find their true mates, rocks the whole packs world. Now, with a dark prophecy looming on the horizon, powers nobody has heard of, and some serious revelations that rock the pack to the core, were left with a mess that only Kira can clean up. And if she fails? Well, as far as she’s concerned, that’s not an acceptable option.

This was my first shifters read and first by R.L. Caulder, and I'm SOLD. Caulder weaved such an intricate web of interconnecting backstories, the perfect amount of steam, action and tied it all together in a solid storyline.

Kira is the ultimate badass, rising to meet her full potential. Seth is my favorite so far...the strong, confident, sarcastic mate *swoon*. Milo is perfectly suited for Kiras headstrong ways, and Jameson...well, I'll round back to him in Outlaw.

I finished this book in less than a day and can't wait for book 2!

Outcast is book 1 in a new series by RL Caulder. She dives into the world of wolves and has you hooked in the first few chapters. I feel like this book has a little something for everyone. We have friends to lovers, enemies to lovers, rejected mates, mates, and a strong FMC.

Kira is, at first, believed to be human but we find out she is so much more. She is meek and timid in the beginning but grows and learns to stand up for herself. I loved seeing her growth and her fierce determination when everyone around her is questioning her.

Now to the guys- Jameson, Seth, and Milo. Milo is her strength, the guy who has always been on her side. Seth is the one who stood by and watched all those years while she was bullied never joining in but never stopping it. He figures out quickly who she is and there is nothing that will stop him from protecting her now. And then we have Jameson, oh boy. He is the dickhead of the bunch. The one who is so hurt and wrapped up in pain he can't see anything good. He makes my heart hurt while also wanting to smack him lol.

Outcast is a great paranormal read. If you love wolves, reverse harem, and mates and/or rejected mates definitely check this out! RL Caulder brought Kira's story to life and I can't wait for more!

Holy Shit guys this was seriously a 20/10 for me. This book was absolute perfection. It has rejected mates, enemies to lovers, friends to lovers, enemies to friends, sexy scenes, laughter, betrayal, redemption and so much more. I laughed, cried, yelled, got turned on and I loved ever second of it.

If you’re looking for a badass but unsure alpha heroine with sexy alpha protectors look no further. Kira is the lowly human amongst wolf shifters who treat her like dirt beneath their feet. Things change when powers no one saw coming start to appear and her mates are revealed.

Honestly I couldn’t even pick just one thing that I loved about this book. So here’s just a few of the ones that stood out the most to me. The first was that not everyone instantly clicked together and that some instantly did. So refreshing to see in a mates dynamic! Another thing was how Kira stands up for herself and what she wants even to her mates. How even when you think you know what’s going to happen you’re thrown for a loop. This is a you know nothing Jon Snow kind of situation and it was fucking epic. Lastly this was the perfect combination of story and sex. To me having too much sex (yes I said it) takes away from the story and I found this was just the right amount to having me panting and leaving me satisfied.

This book does end on a cliffhanger so be prepared but it’s 100% worth it.

I have been waiting for this new series to start and MAN it did not disappoint. I literally started it and did not stop until I finished the last page and then still tried to turn the page for more but it ended on one heck of a cliffy. This new world by RL Caulder really gives a different turn on shifters and mates. This was such a unique story-line. I loved that Kira was starting to come into her own and stand up for herself. I absolutely love Lux and you all will have to read it to find out who she is...I love Milo and Seth so much. They give me all the feels. However theres always one who needs to get his head out of his ass. The steaminess in this book was awesome. It was a perfect amount and I loved that it didnt take over while book and that it was more about the storyline and what may or may not happen to the shifters of the world. Twists and Turns abound in this fab new series.. A must read all the way around...Cannot wait for book 2!

Outcast is a spectacularly written book! R.L Caulder has put together a book that hits every single emotion from the very start. Kira is a character that most women wish they could be but not far off from who most are. Kira's journey is one that start off heart breaking but she fights to find her inner strength with not much help from others. Character development is amazing to see.
The men in Outcast Milo, Seth and Jameson are all very different, that being said I feel like they are very much the same but fear leads them to react differently. Each man has a very different relationship with Kira
With other Characters that come into the story Lana's self discovery grows to who is meant to be. You will be left with an amazing cliff hanger that will make you beg for more!
I highly recommend Outcast to everyone.
Ranking 1-30 my personal opinion
Spice 10- theses men sure know what they are doing to a women!
Emotion-10 I mean I cried, laughed, got angry and happy.
character -10 I loved more then just the main characters, I Found I was extremely found of a women who isn't in the book long.
30/30
I cant wait for R.L Caulders next book!

Absolutely amazing start to a bran new series by R.L. Caulder and let me tell you I am here for all the shifter books I can get. Kira is a complete bass ass and my girl crush!! This girl is strong beyond belief after how she has been treated for years she still never lost her shine or her heart. Watching her come into who she rightfully is was beautiful. Kira is a true alpha and is not about to let anyone push her around anymore. Kira’s mates are so damn swoon worthy it’s ridiculous even when one of them is a complete and total ass but I still can’t help but like him because you see how deep down everything is effecting him. The push pull and chemistry between Kira and all of her mates is hot and their steamy scenes sweet Jesus yessssss. Once I start this book I couldn’t put it down until the very last page where I got a swift kick in the gut and my heart absolutely ached. I cannot wait for the next book in the series because I need to know what is going to happen and I really need the Alpha to catch a beat down like no other. Honestly there is so much to this story that I left my review kind of vague because I didn’t want to give anything away just know that you need this book in your life!!!

I loved this book is encompasses so many different tropes rejected mates, RH, enemies to lovers, friends to lovers and bullying.

Our FMC is definitely an alpha but she believes she is a lowley human thanks to the entire packs Betrayal of their alpha. Anyway Kiera goes through a major transformation from the packs slave to the one who will save all of shifter kind, this happenes in one night when she meets the moon goddes Selene.

Kiera finds her changes a challenge and struggles to get her head round it but wheat she doesn't struggle with is her mates. That part.comes naturally to her and Milo and Set however Jameson fights the bond and in the end betrays the bond and rejects her.

Silly stupid idiotic boy who csnt get past his own self loathing that's Jameson, you'll love to hate him. Milo is the guy to love, he always stuck up for Keria even when she was being bullied by the rest of the pack, Set goes through a major redemption, he make not have actively bullied Keria but he never stopped it however he fights for her and the mate bond immediately and his gonna be a dom in the bedroom too.

A great read, I cant wait to see where this story goes

Kira's journey and transformation as well as character development and growth is beautiful and captivating. Everyone loves and underdog story and this one is no different. The characters are enchanting, the plot is suspenseful, and there's all the spicy bits in between. The moments of sadness had me bawling right along with these characters. I can not wait to see what Kira facea next, and how she takes it all on.
Favorite quotes-
Like we could sense each others fear's, hopes, and insecurities.

I stare into the eyes of a man who would burn the world down for me and not think twice about it.

Outcast is an amazing paranormal, RH, friends to lovers, enemies to lovers adventure. Kira has lived a life of torment and servitude. She feels alone, abandoned and restless. That all changes one fateful day. She learns that she is special and finally finds the confidence she has needed. This book is such an action packed, addictive read and I loved every word of it. I could feel every emotion Kira experienced. After that shocking ending, I am going to need book two as soon as possible. You need to start this amazing series today!

Outcast is book 1 of the Pack Prophesy by R. L. Caulder. It’s a RH, but with some fantasy. It’s about wolf shifters and fated mates, and it starts steamy almost from the get. I fell in love with the main character Kira for being such a bad ass. She was raised to think she wasn’t equal; she was a mere human. She was put down and did what she needed to get by, to continue living with the pack. A lot of people can relate to that! Just get by so you can say you made it through another day. There was some Mean Girl bullying vibes in there too.
Well, from the very beginning, you can sense the connection she has with Milo. Then you’re introduced to boy #2, Seth. You can also sense tension in that first interaction that hints toward their blooming relationship. Boy #3, Jameson, the verdict is still out on this one. He is very damaged and doesn’t like to communicate his feelings.
The story builds beautifully. I love how Caulder writes her stories! I love how empowered Kira becomes after she finds out who she is. I don’t want to give too much away, but I wasn’t expecting it to end how it did, and now I cannot wait for book 2!!

Outcast is the first book in The Pack Prophecy series. It was an intense read that follows Kira, a simple human, in a pack of shifters. I devoured this book in one sitting. I couldn't put it down. Full of twists and turns, it kept me guessing throughout!

She has never been accepted into the pack despite living with the pack for seventeen years. But that all changes in one night. Everything Kira grew up with was wrong and so she quickly has to adjust to her new reality and uncover a mystery to save herself and her new mates.

"I wasn't alone anymore with my wolf and my mates by my side.”

What I liked:
🖤Multiple POV
🖤Fated Mates
🖤Mystery
🖤Fast story
🖤Strong MFC
🖤Protective Mates

Overall, it was a very good read. It did end on a slight cliffhanger, but I am excited to see where the story will go from here.

No.... you can't cliffhanger like that!!! I need the next book, now.
This book gripped me from the first chapter, it had everything I needed, friends, enemies, lovers, even a little bit of sadness. I can't wait for the next installment of Kira's world and the carnage thats to follow.

Amazing start to a series. Could not put this down!
Kira is a human surrounded by wolves who keep her downtrodden. Untill the full moon after she turns 21 and her life changes, those she thought were enemies become friends, others are not what they seem and those meant to protect her seem to have the blackest souls.
Amazing read. Cant wait for the next

This is a really interesting storey with some great dynamics and wonderful relationship building and will suit those that dont like cliffhangers!
I love the this almost has a Cinderella feel to it and the way the storey develops - Its so hard to say too much in this review as i dont want to give away any of the plot but there are some twists that you don't see coming plus this storey sets up the rest of the series as being an epic adventure, quest and journey of discovery.
You need to read the entire storey as i have seen a review or two where they didnt read the whole book and our female M/C's change in personality is explained in the book as there is a reason behind it.
This is a great Storey, well written and entertainingly told.
Medium burn so plenty of heat, some wit and sarcasm which is RL Caulders trademark and just an extremely well written storey that sucks you in so be prepared to read in one sitting!

I've been dying for this book to be released since R.L. posted the cover and synopsis in one of my Facebook groups, and it did not disappoint!

Outcast is a shifter/rejected mate reverse harem with some bullying and the first book in her new series The Pack Prophecy.

As the series name suggests, the story revolves around a prophecy that will end in either the salvation or the destruction of all shifters. And Kira, the outcast and female main character, whose life changes unexpectedly.

This story is full of deception and lies, trust and forgiveness, bonds and mates, rejection and truth. As well as enough sex to satisfy anyone’s desires. I was brought to tears many times, good tears as well as sad. I may have also used profanities a few times!

Outcast was an incredible read, and I can't wait for the next book in the series to be released. A definite must-read!
