I wish I could keep clicking and adding more stars. However, if I could I still would be clicking. There just aren't enough stars to rate this series. This is a journey you have to experience for yourself. But prepare yourself, once you decide to take this step, you're in for one helluva ride. But, don't even think of starting with Frightened Mate, you have to start with book one, Unwanted Mate or you'll be lost. Besides, why take a taste of your favorite dessert when you can have a full serving. I mean, it's a no brainer. Now, as for this book about Lux and Akel...I think Lux has been through so much in her life she is quicker to accept the unnatural. She is definitely not one to turn away from something way out of her norm. Of course like anyone she'll try to refute it. But then given some proof or explanation, Lux seems to be able to differentiate between truth and fiction. Alek, never expected to have a mate. He is overcome with this new knowledge that he has something beautiful that he's always believed inconceivable. But something evil is after his mate. He must prove himself worthy of her in order to help her come in to her own. There is so much going on, that Lux's evil nemesis is but a small faction, even though, for her, it is a life or death situation. This is an exceptional reading experience. Remember if you want to read a book you can't put down, you have to pick it up first. Just remember to start with book one, "Unwanted Mate".
