Predators & Prey #1
Wicked Rejection
The alpha chose me as his mate only to offer me as a sacrifice to the Gods of Arithym.
On the night of my claiming, I’m betrayed by my pack in the most brutal of ways.
Left for dead by those I had trusted, my only hope for survival is to form an alliance with the most feared alpha in the Shadowlands.
The only problem is, Killian hates me as much as I hate him.
And I did try to kill him.
Twice.
Fuelled by our resentment for each other, the passion that rises and burns between us lights a fire in me others have tried to extinguish. But in return for Killian's help, he leaves me with a life-changing decision to make that will strip me of everything, including my freedom.
Either I become Killian's mate or remain his prisoner forever.
I have until the full moon to decide.
Killian might be a predator in this world but I will never be his prey, as every alpha in Arithym is about to find out.
Starting with the alpha who tried to kill me.

*Possible Triggers*
World build:
Seemed to be lacking a bit. Found myself making assumptions from time to time. The Light vs Dark wolves is one area I made some assumptions on. I feel this would have benefited more with additional information.
Storyline:
Felt rushed. There were moments that could have been stretched to create a build for the reader but those intense moments were lacking. The romance was short and one instance seemed forced....as in I might would term it rape. It just did not leave me feeling good about the encounter.
FMC:
Zoriah is a bit boring and weak to be an alpha she-wolf. I am hoping if I continue this series she shows more characteristics of an intelligent alpha bad ass.
MC #1:
Killian.... I. Do. Not. Like. Him. Now that's out of the way. He mistreats Zoraih, imprisons her, barely feeds or provide the very basic care and he rapes her IMO. I do not see me liking him ever.
MC #2:
Fenrik is how the MC should be and the ONLY MC. Strong, smart, trustworthy, and a protector which is all qualities I like in an alpha. He treats Zoriah much more like a mate than Killian. Need more Fenrik and Killain needs to jump off a cliff and never return.
Secondary characters:
Are almost non-existent. Tristian has a ton of potential however he is there then poof gone. Hopefully the secondary characters will be more developed in book 2.
Happy reading,
DD💕

This was fucking amazing. I feel like half the shit she's been told is a lie and I can't wait to find out the truth and the ending is amazing. My jaw dropped over the cliffhanger.

Dnf. Started as a 4 star and became a 1 star very quickly. Sloppy writing and world building. Also not a fan of triangles

Wicked Rejection by Scarlett Snow
While my ‘rating list’ is low in rating, it doesn’t match the Quality nor Rating of the book, I’m very excited for this series and highly anticipate Book 2!
I Give this Book a Solid 4/5 Star Rating.
This is Book One after all and is short, but the second book is much longer.
This book does help guide you into the universe and get acquainted with some of the characters.
Cliffhanger(?): Yes!!
Relationship Type: nothing concrete as of yet, kinda MF at the moment but will possibly MFM or RH.
Heat: 2.5/5
Romance: 2-2/5, this is an apparent slow-burn on the human aspect, and I’m a huge fan of slow burns.
Dark(?): To me it isn’t, at least for right now 🙂
Pacing: very good, more in the mid range.
Drama: 3.5/5
Suspense: I mean that Cliffhanger!! Lol 4/5
Did Characters Primarily Stay In Human Form(?): in most of the book yes, but it makes sense.
Did Characters Shift into Wolves(?): Yes, and Wolf instincts are present as well as behavior.

why?
First, this book has no world building and seems to jumble together aspects without continuity. Fae transformed into werewolves? The FMC opened a portal to another dimension but can’t shift? There is a weird age discrepancy between all the characters as they are all accused of murdering each others parents? Zoriah can bend iron bars with her bare hands after being so weak she almost passed out? They have guns?
I wish a little more care was brought to driving the plot forward instead of giving us pg-13 spice scenes; or we were given explicit scenes with little to no plot. Overall, this book was Mid at best and I can only be grateful for its brief 100 pages.

October 31, 2024Having a hard time with this book
At the 37% mark and I may throw in the towel. There are a couple of missing bits that have me irritated since the beginning, a messy romance that is grasping at straws, and then a specific thought I can't wrap my head around.
The thought: How can a 6 month old baby remember ANYTHING that happened? Especially to a degree that has the FMC hating someone so much? I get trauma makes an imprint, but no. Not at 6 months old unless there was some bit of shifter lifestyle I missed where at 6 months they are like a human toddler.
The way she showed up at the enemy/frenemy pack is a big blank with a hint of "something happened" to get to this point. Annoying.
Also, it states she has tried to off the guy, twice, in round about ways of a time since passed. That doesn't have me intrigued, it just makes me irked that they have had sorts of interactions in the past. And the big bad shifter Alpha can't or couldn't get revenge before then. Also, what the heck about the rabbit land portal craziness, it was... dumb? Some reach for out of the world comedy? I dunno, it's just bad.

Some of it was a little off. It seemed like she wanted to escape before she found out she was an alpha and maybe could break out her friend on her own. After she gave up her body she said she did it to try to get her friend out faster, but it came across as her giving in to overwhelming lust and didn't make sense to relate it to the rescue bargain. Also, the story was incomplete... So really it should be a 2.
August 11, 2021
So first off, let me say that this book's cover is phenomenal. I was hooked literally from that alone and I'm surprised that this isn't on more people's radar.
Secondly, I think the fact this book was so short really affected my appreciation of the story. Everything was super fast-paced, just running on at light speed. Correct me if I'm wrong but it seemed like barely a few days passed between her almost being sacrificed at the altar by the man she thought was her mate - then falling in lust with the man who allegedly killed her parents - to then potentially getting more-than-friendly with another dude. It was probably longer tbh, but the pacing made it feel very fast.
As a result, I didn't feel as though the emotional impact of the first betrayal was portrayed as well as it should have been with all the relationships that were developing. I mean, you'd think her guard would be up after realising her pack had duped her for eight years, right? And that made it even more surprising when she succumbed so quickly to the alphahole from hell, Killian, the guy who legit is the last person on earth she should be sympathetic towards. His treatment of her was appalling (even with the added depth we gain from his POV I didn't feel any better about him, he just seemed like an emotionally repressed man-baby straight out of the Harlequin playbook) and I felt awful for her when he 'discarded her' after he took her virginity (very roughly, I might add).
THAT part was extremely well written. So much so that afterwards, I was ready to pitch Killian into the sun he pissed me off so much (I know that some readers like that type of MC, but damn). So, after these two men treat her like literal poop on their shoe, she then trusts a THIRD man and while he is def the best of the bunch by farrr, I'm exhausted that this chick has still not learned a single lesson from her experiences in the last week. She had no backup plan, no weapon, nada.
So, yeah, overall, Zoriah is a pretty naive/weak heroine. Not really very alpha-like at all in her actions. I'm happy to chalk the naivety up to her youth since this technically counts as New Adult fiction and I guess she might grow into that role as the story progresses.
Despite everything I've said so far, there is something extremely compelling about this story and Scarlett Snow's writing. Though the worldbuilding is sparse, and there are hardly any secondary characters at all, some of the details the author has revealed about where the story might go are intriguing. I wasn't in any way affected by the cliffhanger - the story was too short to justify a cliffy, IMO - but I'm willing enough to pick up the second one when it's out and see where things go.

I love the rejected mate trope, this one however falls a little flat for me, there’s not much on the lore or history of the shifters or fae races but in this first book the talk of mating, seems more like a marriage as opposed to you typical shifters with fated mates.
Our fml Zoriah has grown up believing that she is to mate the light alpha, once he has her at the alter she finds that she is actually to be sacrificed. This happens within the first few chapters we only meet the light alpha at the alter where he says a few words before the betrayal happens – this doesn’t really tick the rejected mate box for me. She then escapes into the Dark wolves territory where she bargains with her mateless status to rescue her friend back from in the light wolves territory. She does this with not one but 2 wolves. I’m aware this RH and that’s not my problem, I just feel like being a mate or mates is nothing special at this stage.
I would have loved more world building – there’s a map in the front so I expected to hear all about the other creatures in the world or the history of the gods that are worshipped and talked about. There is also a curse put upon the light wolves which was mentioned a few times but no more on it. I’m hoping the next book will shed some light.
3/5 stars – I like the story, but it really needs some fleshing out, some world building and a bit more character depth. Hoping that comes with book 2

Hmmm…
I wanted to really like this book. The blurb ensnared me and I dove in because an alpha betraying his mate, enemies having to depend on each other, warring factions, yes, please! But nah. Zoriah…smh. I struggled because I felt maybe she’s sheltered and young and several other excuses for her just not being smart, but alas, nope. She’s selfish, immature, and does NOT think things through. I never go into books thinking I’ll like every character, but this is the first time I’ve disliked a character and it took me out of the story completely. She repeatedly called Killian a coward-was he supposed to drop everything, neglect his pack, disregard lives, all without a plan in order to do her bidding?? And Fenrik??? I won’t even go into her believing the lies of the pack who would’ve let her die. I could understand believing them beforehand, but she still held onto them after and that was just plain stupid. There was no true reflection in her inner monologue, just her missing Tristan and instead of trying to formulate a plan for his rescue, just demanding that it be done. I’m all for strong female characters, but that is not what Zoriah is.

I'm not really sure what I read here. I grabbed this book thanks to a promotion pointed out by Debbie Cassidy where I also nabbed a lovely standalone by Kel Carpenter. My expectations, while not high, were for moderately good experience.
This was... It was. The world building is painfully thin, and the character building is equally thin.
The female lead leaves much to be desired, and I can't say that Killian is in any way worthy of being a lead? I mean, it wasn't until reading the description of book two that I realised this was meant to be a reverse harem. Um, what? Are you telling me Killian has redeeming qualities? Cardboard has more depth than the guy. Fenrik appears a bit more interesting, but still. And apparently Tristan ends up being part of the harem? Even though he dramatically disappeared in book?
Yeah, I have no clue. Part of me really wants to read book two, just because I have so many questions, but another part thinks I should be using my time better. To be seen.
Obviously, your mileage may vary, but if this is your first RH foray, I'd suggest finding some other writers such as Debbie Cassidy, Kyra Alessy or Kel Carpenter.

Wicked Rejection is book one in the dark paranormal series Predators and Prey featuring wolf shifters, possessive alphas and plot with lots of twists and turns. It is fast-paced and packed lots of action, with the main female character Zoriah facing her first hurdle almost as the book begins. The world is divided in two, dark and light wolves, and Zoriah must seek refuge among those that were her former foe.
While Wicked Rejection is a dark romance Zoriah experiences more than her fair share of tragedy and adversity. Killian in particular I am unsure what to think of as despite me wanting to like him for what he is doing for his people his behaviour towards Zoriah is verging on the darker side of grey. If they end up together in the future, I hope there is a lot of begging on his part. This series is touted as a reverse harem though that has yet to happen in book one, but this book still brings chemistry and heat between Zoriah and the main alpha males.
Wicked Rejection is an exciting start to a new dark paranormal series and I would recommend it for readers who enjoy paranormal romance, shifters, reverse harem, dark romance, fast-paced action and a story with edge of your seat action and suspense.

Blurb:
The alpha chose me as his mate. Then he tried sacrificing me to the shifter gods.
On the night of my claiming, I’m betrayed by my pack in the most brutal of ways. Left for dead by those I trusted, my only hope for survival is to strike a deal with the most feared alpha in the Shadowlands.
The only problem is, Killian hates me as much as I hate him, and I did try to kill him.
Twice.
Fuelled by our resentment for each other, the passion that burns between us lights a fire in me others have tried to extinguish. Now the clock is ticking and I have a decision to make by the next full moon…
Become Killian’s mate or remain his prisoner forever.
He might be the predator in this world but I will never be the prey. He, and the other two alpha wolves who seek to claim me, are about to find that out.

Good start
From beginning to end this book kept my interest. So I can say it was good and I will be reading the next one. Im glad she's able to hold her own and isn't a doormat.. My dislike is I feel like it could've been longer. I get authors want to make series. But it doesn't need to be dragged out over 10 books and it can still be a series with the books being full length. Hope the next one is that way and keeps up the momentum. I'm ready to see what happens next and hopefully since it's a rh we see Killian and his bro get it together and share soon or later especially since I'm sure they'll have to work together to get her back.. And since the truth about her parents are out even though the packs have history if they can get past the animosity. I'm also curious if Tristan will become more than a brother figure. Guess we'll see when the next one comes out

3.5⭐️ overall of the series
This is book 1 and I agree like others it does grab your attention. However after reading all three books there is a lot lacking and a lot to be desired to be made as great series. By the end a lot of the questions never been answered. Relationships were enough developed.
This book started well although I would’ve like a bit more description of where the characters were, a bit more background story as well on all of them. There are placed when it goes from one scene to another and you have no idea how that happened.
Relationship development between Killian and Zoriah was lacking, between her and Fen was a bit better but still a lot to be desired. I can say after reading all the books that I was waiting for their relationship to grow, develop to get something but it was quite rushed until the end which wasn’t satisfying for me.

I dont think ive read a book so far by Ms Snow that i havent liked and Wicked Rejected is no different. Yes its a short read but what it lacks in length it more makes up in content. Dark Alpha - Killian and Zoriah have a background between them that has bred a deep seated hatred. So when Zoriah turns to Killian after her claiming with another Alpha - Solas falls through in spectacular fashion. Theres no love lost between Zoriah and Killian. He is a but of an Alpha**** but i loved that Zoriah gave as good as she got and didnt back down with him. The back and forth between them made the book for me. Its one hell of a start to this series and im dying for the next book now

Light & easy shifter read
This book is fast moving and action packed from the start. It’s a light and easy shifter read, a good palette cleanser if you’ve been reading a lot of dark and need a break.
I think because it is so fast paced, I haven’t been able to connect to the MC yet though. I think another negative, was her loosing her V card- there was no lead up other then a kiss, or her seeming to care that it’s even happening and roughly at that, it just stood out as a bizarre scene to me.
However, the story has good bones though and I look forward to reading book number 2 when it’s released, I would like to see some more depth to the characters though.

I found this book engaging, and the characters seemed to have that enemies to lovers, simmering sexual tension boiling in the back ground. The attention to detail was at times lacking, for instance when describing places, I felt there could have been more world building.
It did however suit my needs as a palate cleanser inbetween a long series I have been reading. I loved how the mfc and mmc acted with each other, the whole enemies to lovers, forced proximity trope. This is a short read, but enjoyable read. I got this book as part of a book box, signed by the author.

A true heroine to root for
Wow, so many alpha-aholes it hard to decide which one Zoriah should lust/I mean trust 😃.
This is an excellent start to a new rejected mates series that I cannot seem to get enough of a of late. I was so engrossed with the story an what might happen with Zoriah that I finished this 1st book in one sitting. Oh, and of course it ends on a cliffhanger. Here's to hoping book 2 as either already available or coming out in the very near future.

very good book
I really enjoyed reading this book, highly recommended to give it a try. Although there’s been couple pats of book that left me confused as the fact that there was no age mentioned for any of characters and from what I could understand there’s big age gap between main characters but same time it’s seems like there pretty much same age, not sure maybe I missed something about aging in this book

it’s ok but needs a bit of work
This has amazing potential and I do like the bones of this. There are new surprises but some of the basics could of been explained a bit more I.e the gods, what that means specifically for each pack, the different powers, the ages (as that is a tad confusing).
I think if this was revamped it would be an awesome book. But atm it is a good book to read.

Just An Albright Book
I really wanted to like this book and it was alright but I did not like how Killian treated Zoriah. I love the rejected mate scenarios and I get the enemies to lovers thing and I’m normally all for it but I felt that Killian was outright abusive and even at one point pretty much forces her to have sex with him. By the end of the book I didn’t even want Killian and Zoriah to be together. Maybe there is hope for the second book.

Enemy of my enemy is suppose to my friend
Not a bad read at all. Some consent issues in certain scenes, otherwise a dark read with action and intrigue. Book ends with suspense and on a cliffhanger.
Main female character is strong and determined, very likable.
Main male characters Killian is dark alphahole but his brother has pull to him.
Enemy pack dynamic with unsolved puzzles, secrets.
Interested in reading book two but three is only due in March 2022.

Rejected Mates
I've not read many rejected mates books before so this was a nice change in pace. I'm intrigued by our female main character, especially her past and I wish I knew more. Hopefully the next book will continue to shed more light. I'm also hopeful that.It will make some of the males sit up and take notice of our girl and treat her properly instead of like a piece of meat to be fought over. She is a queen as deserves better.

Short and amazing
Love scarlett snows books, have from the beginning, this isn't any different at all! One of her shortest books but still amazed by how it's written.
Theme of a rejected mate...well mate to be murdered and to fall into enemies bed.
But what an ending...never take anything free from a woman who can't see over a bar

Broken promises
When you're told for years that one thing must happen in order for something else to take place you begin to believe it's your destiny. However, betrayal of the worst kind will throw everything you think you know into utter chaos. Wicked Rejection is the beginning of the series and has left me anticipating more.

This was a great start to this new series from Scarlett Snow. Absolutely loved the storyline and characters. I was so interested in this story just from the blurb that I needed to read it. From start to finish absolutely loved it. No spoilers here. But i seriously cannot wait to read book 2. Definitely recommend.

Very good plot and start to a series.
I love the plot and characters. The story definitely sucked me in. There are some typos and words that were left out of sentences. Still easy to understand what it was supposed to say but could've been edited a little better but over all loved it.
