Wolfish #4
Fateborne
I’m not alone . There are other Mystic wolves out there, and now I have to find them.
And win the Alpha Trials, get my revenge on the supreme alpha and of course, break my mate’s curse. Phew… And I thought things would be easier now that we’d finally completed the mate bond.
I was very wrong.
When Hunter takes matters into his own hands, a desperate decision escalates the situation from bad to worse. With our new relationship on the line, my jilted wolfy fiancé makes his move, trying to worm his way into my fragile heart.
As if dealing with two males wasn’t bad enough, the final round of the Alpha Trials takes a dark turn, and an unexpected loss nearly breaks me once again.
With my love life in turmoil, the survival of my pack on the line and everything up in the air, the question isn’t whether I’ll win the trials and get my happily ever after with my mate, but will I live to see the last day of the competition? *** This is an upper YA/NA crossover with schmexy alpha wolves and is best suited for ages 16+. Be warned this is a slow burn enemies-to-lovers romance, and the steaminess factor does increase through the course of the series ! ♥ *** Wolfish is set within the world of Azar, along with (in reading order) Hitched, Darkblood Academy, Royally Hitched and Darkblood Prison but it's not necessary to read the other series first to enjoy this one .

About the author
G.K. DeRosa
83 books1,518 followersG.K. De Rosa has been an avid reader from a very young age. In fact, before she could even read, she tried fooling everyone into thinking that she could. At the precocious age of two, while living in Italy, she had memorized an entire children’s book in Italian and expertly turned the pages at the exact right moments of the story. As she grew up, she always enjoyed literature, no doubt having been instilled with a love of story telling from her early years in Catholic school where she was greatly influenced by exemplary teachers who taught her the value of English and Literature. Though she did not pursue writing in college and instead went for the more traditional route of International Business inspired by her love for travel and all things foreign, after a move to New York City, she found her creative writing side calling once again. She began writing a restaurant review blog, City Lights and Tasty Bites, detailing her other passion – food! The hectic hustle and bustle of the city, combined with long commuting times gave her the opportunity to spend more time reading and rekindled a lost love. After reading countless books in many diverse genres over the two years in New York City, and returning to her home state of Florida, she felt compelled to write something for herself. She had always felt particularly drawn to Young Adult novels and having been an eternal romantic at heart, a fantasy romance was a natural choice. She currently lives in South Florida with her real life Prince Charming and their fur baby, Nico the German Shepherd.

DeRosa summed this series up nicely!! I am gonna keep it super brief to prevent spoilers.
We get the HEA we have been hoping for with Sierra and Hunter. The Mystic pack is on the rise. And every twist, turn, surprise, and gasping moment along the way made this so worth the read!!! You may think I revealed the books purpose but all the roads leading to the ending is what makes this book.
Sierra and Hunter's story may have come to a close....but Ransom is on the horizon!!!!
Happy reading,
DD

This book ruined the series.
Everything that happened with ransom.
He would’ve been a better mate choice tbh. The male mc was awful.

I think three stars is a pretty generous rating, considering the way some things happened and my disappointment with one of the major reveals. But I try to not be too harsh with ratings for smaller indie authors, especially if it wasn’t completely problematic in terms of content and themes.
Overall, this series was alright. I really struggled with this fourth and final book, considering the fact that the two main characters and love interests were back on their same old shit when it came to their views on their future/relationship. (I wanted to slap Hunter so bad lmao.) The kiddie cursing also still irritated me especially because of the frequency of use (more “holy shift” and “son of a witch” and “what the eff”s than I ever hope to read again). Like I’m fine with it if it’s used infrequently, but omg in this series, it hurt a lot by this last book lmao. Sierra curses like this every other page or something.
My main gripes with this series remain the same as I had in the last couple of books: while the premise and world are interesting and hold potential, the execution just fell flat in terms of development (characters, events, relationships, etc.), and when things did happen, it felt so rushed as a consequence. It didn’t make sense that Sierra was going to become High Alpha when we barely got to read about two seconds of her training in the very first book (and that’s the only vague bit related to training that I remember). It’s fine if the time frame over which events occur is short as long as I can see the work going into training and learning and growing, but I just didn’t get that from all these books. The conflict and tension in the main romantic relationship dragged out forever, back to the same “we can’t be together because I can’t love” (yes, Hunter, unfortunately my memory is not so terrible that I’ve forgotten that detail), while Sierra’s all “we were made for each other you dummy,” and I’m just like please, end this suffering. When I reached the end of the book, the relief that I wouldn’t have to deal with this anymore was just, WHEW. I MADE IT. This quote from Sierra summed up my feelings pretty well on their whole conflict: “I think I’m going to go insane, Hunter. We keep having the same conversation over and over again.” YES, Sierra, you two ARE having the same convo over and over again. And I am going nuts reading it
Also, Braxton still annoyed the shit out of me (thankfully he had fewer appearances in this book than the last one), especially since he’s so eager to mate with Sierra and fulfill his dad’s wish even when he didn’t know his dad at all, and he barely knows Sierra at all. Sure. Why not. But then by the end of this book, he meets his fated mate (whom he’s “99% sure” is his fated mate, lmao. Wonder what the last one percent is for) and BAM, the end, they mate and that’s it. That was so dumb. Like his character was just so flat. He literally served no purpose in this story except to be a source of tension between Sierra and Hunter in book three. He has no personality except being an asshole who’s infatuated with Sierra until he’s not. Uh, okay.
Tyrien. Omfg. He exacted revenge on an entire pack for being rejected by the woman he cheated on his mate with? Who happens to be Sierra’s aunt??? What the actual dumb fuckery is this? That’s the dumbest fucking motivation for this kind of genocide, although unfortunately I can’t say that’s completely unrealistic. Toxic masculinity to the extreme. It’s not that I can’t believe the reason (well, some part of me still can’t really I guess), but that this buildup of four books and all these things pointing to the supreme alpha led to this???????? I wanted to scream lol. I hate it. Ugh. Whatever. At least the books are relatively short and bc everything is so rushed, the reveal is as rushed as his death and I didn’t have to suffer too much longer lol.
Positives: the premise, the fairy tale like aspects (the curse on Hunter), parts of the world built in this, Vander and Cass. And I liked Ransom, mostly, and his friendship with Sierra, but I didn’t like the hot and cold flip in their friendship after the events of book… 2? 3? Idk which book is which anymore lol. But again, it didn’t feel fully fleshed out.

This series has been incredible and I have loved every minute of it! Fast paced and so well written I have loved Sierra and her amazing journey. Twists and turns have kept me hooked, challenges and obstacles have been faced, there’s loss and heartbreak, action and romance and the world building is simply incredible and draws you in. Amazing storyline, amazing characters and oh what a fantastic ending.

This series could have been completed in three books. Two if I'm being completely honest. You just had to cut out a few of the billion “different” trials we went through. And a ton of the useless nonsense on constant repeat with Sierra and Hunter. I don't like Hunter. I don't like Sierra. I do, however, like Ransom. But I will not be reading his books. This is the end of the road for DeRosa and me.

Done
Long and drawn out story. Writing was kind of simple too. I'm glad there's been conclusion. I'm glad its over.

The series kept me intrigued but could have been summed up much sooner. I don’t feel we needed 4 books of this.

A nice tame paranormal series…
G.K. DeRosa gives us a slew of heroes to root for and villains to “boo” for, in her “Wolfish” series. That being said, the heroes are a little “too perfect” and the villains a little “too stereotypically bad.”
**SPOILERS**
This series follows our FMC, Sierra, and her fated mate, Hunter. In book one we are introduced to Sierra who is an “innocent” student at a magical academy, who has no magic of her own. Through a series of bizarre events, Sierra ends up as a witch werewolf. Later she learns that her family has been keeping their Magic and Werewolf identities a secret from her.
Sierra has always “loved” this boy she met at the age of 16. She didn’t know who he was at the time, but she felt an instant connection to him (even though he was wearing a mask). She realizes, when she goes to the wolf academy that the mysterious boy is actually the son of the Supreme Alpha (leader of all the werewolf alphas) AND her fated mate. Too bad he doesn’t feel the same way…or does he?
The series follows Sierra as she navigates her new wolf world, and discovers her rare lineage and heritage. All the while trying to navigate an increasingly difficult relationship with Hunter, the on again, off again, maybe boyfriend/fated mate. And here is where the book fell flat for me. This series although touted as Sierras story, is REALLY Sierra and Hunter’s story, as everything Sierra does in all 4 books is to be free with her love, Hunter. The author does an adequate job of introducing their budding romance, but after 4 books loses the “pace” and it becomes stagnant and boring. By the end, book 4, “Wolfish: Fateborn,” the reader doesn’t really care anymore about whether Sierra and Hunter will find a way to be together permanently. We all KNOW they will. And it’s just a matter of how the author ties up the “loose threads,” of the overall story arc.
Book 4 ends waaaaay too conveniently. Considering the hoops that Sierra and Hunter have had to go through to break the curse and be together, I’d expected a lot more than, “Hunter goes to a wizard to try and break the curse but loses even more i.e. ALL his emotions. But this wears off at the VERY end when both he and Sierra are battling the biggie bad guy for the crown to rule the werewolves.” Seriously, in a nutshell that’s what happens.
Through the ENTIRE series Sierra and Hunter’s relationship has been impeded by his curse, a curse that Sierra is determined to find a way to break. She does everything, even “joining” the trials to try and oust Hunter’s evil father, to ultimately be there by his side and buy time to find a solution to his curse. All of the drama with Sierra’s family, the absurdity of the multiple random Alpha werewolf plots against her, and Hunter’s own ridiculous self-sacrificing nature, draw to the inevitable; can the curse be lifted and will Sierra still choose Hunter by the time it is, if it can be.
There are too many random sub-plots in this series and honestly, too many “great” choices for Sierra as mate. If the reader was 150% invested in their love story there’d be no doubt that Sierra and Hunter belong together…even if one of them dies etc. But G.K. DeRosa introduces several other male werewolves that she gives great characteristics to, that seem evenly matched to Sierra. In fact, one of these choices (even being mated) comes across, at times, as a better mate for Sierra than her fated one. By book 4, I was just a little “over” the constant “will they, won’t they,” AND Hunter’s really annoying self deprecation. He laments numerously about not being good enough for Sierra, and “giving her away,” for her own good. *eye roll* frankly there are just so many times I can read the same rant before it becomes boring.
In the end everything works out as “it should.” The couples that are supposed to be together are together, and the “choices” Sierra had are conveniently wrapped up within 5 pages of the end of the book. Everyone gets their HEA, EXCEPT the one person with a plot twist I didn’t see coming. But then we learn that that person is getting their own book/series, so even that plot twist, ends conveniently.
Overall “Wolfish,” is a nice, fairly tame, romantic paranormal romance series, that is very predictable, a little slow, and sometimes cringe worthy. But if you like basic run-of-the-mill, paranormal romances that are sure to end as expected, then you’ll enjoy this series.

Such a great story that had me turning the pages to see what was next! I have bittersweet feelings, though, because this was the final book in the series and I hated to say goodbye to Hunter and Sierra though perhaps they’l make cameo appearances in a future series. Let’s hope so!
The Alpha trials are now in earnest as they are coming to the climax of who is going to win and become supreme Alpha over all the shifters. Hunter is determined to see Sierra win the contest but is also taking a desperate last shot effort to undo the curse he is under. Will he succeed or will it shatter the love between he and Sierra. Time will tell.
GK’s books are just mesmerizing! One is easily caught up in the story and they are so hard to put down! I would have finished it in one sitting but I had to stop this time.due to other obligations but I finished it today.
I enthusiastically recommend this book and this series to all those who enjoy the paranormal universe
for this series has no lull spots at all! You start out comfortable in your chair just relaxing to settle in for a hour or two but as you read the book something happens and the urge to read faster and faster overtakes you. Your heart rate speeds up and so do the pages as you find yourself captivated by what you are reading! So a word to the wise; set aside a bloc of time but even so be aware that you’ll most likely be reading into the wee hours of the morning
anyway so just be prepared when that happens!
I think everyone should read this series and when you’ve finished it by all means get another full series and start on it as well for you’ll find the same adrenaline charged electricity in them that you do in this one!
So if you’re looking for romance, adventure, pulse-
pounding excitement with a story you don’t want to put down well here it is! To do yourself and this series justice, however, you need to get the whole series and start from the beginning! Believe me you’ll be glad you did for the story is not one you’ll want to miss!
GK I don’t know how to do it to tun out fresh series that are just as good as previous ones but I am thankful you do for I have enjoyed every book and series I have read of yours! Your characters quickly become my friends and I can’t wait to see what befalls them next!
Get this series today and when you’re finished with it you can honestly say it was time well spent !

Wolfish (Fateborne) by G.K Derosa, Book 4 in the (Wolfish) OMG so we are finally here on the last book of Wolfish and what a epic adventure it has been with these characters, I’ve enjoyed every minute with them, and definitely recommend reading this amazing wolfshifters series.
This finale was everything, we have the finale of the alpha trials with Sierra and Hunter and the other alpha's fight for their lives. This book definitely kept you on your toes my god. Sierra has come such a long way since book one and it's been amazing to see her become this powerful wolf, along with her mate, even though it's been so frustrating with this curse, yep they're still trying to break it. Hunter has been so loyal to Sierra and even though he can’t love her, you know he does or is trying to, the protection he has over her is swooning, we have so many beautiful romance scenes. We have consequences occurring that end up becoming worse than curse. I mean I never read a couple go through so much to be together it was destroying me in the best way, if you love slow burn shifter books this series id for you.
We have unexpected losses and let me tell you I cried, I was so devastated, this books reveals are crazy and just keeps you gripped to each page, I couldn't put this down till end, and I new all the answers, absolutely adored the ending, and literally screamed and jumped up and down when I read the last page, I'm so excited for what character going to be in the new world of Azar book Vampish, I am so here for it.

Wolfish Series
The story line took way too long across 4 books for them to be mated, for the curse to be broken and let's not forget 6 weeks of trials that was mostly mundane stuff that only took up space in the books. Normally in shifter books a new alpha is either chosen or theirs a fight for the position. Not a trial across 4 books. They should have mated in book one, the curse wasn't necessary it also just took up space and got aggravating to read about. If there had to be one then it Shoulda been resolved in book one as well. Then rest the books coulda been spent on remaking the mystic packs. How the pack grew, how all the wolves came together. How Ransom was fixed since he was alive. Needed to know what all powers Sierra ended up with and how they helped everyone. Woulda been nice to see the baby born and see what it was and what powers the child had. To me everything just drug out way too long and there's so much more that coulda been told. I feel bad for the review but I must be honest about it.

>Book Review – Wolfish: Fateborne
>I am an independent reviewer. This book is the 4th and final in the Wolfish series and ends in an HEA. Hunter’s decision to help Sierra win the Alpha Trials and then leave her is so tiring. Sierra talks him out of leaving, then he decides to leave again. Hunter keeps rejecting her yet is still attracted to her. Sierra is really put through the ringer. The Alpha Trials end with a whimper. For such dangerous trials, the culmination of the trials was anticlimactic.
>Hunter deals with a lack of emotions, while Sierra deals with Ransom’s fate. The book obviously would have Sierra and Hunter win, so I wish more was written about the change to kinder rulers. The epilogue was great, but I wanted to see Sierra and Hunter lead.
>This book is appropriate for an adult audience. I am giving this book 4 stars. The series is a good one that could have been written with more depth.

Wow, what a rollercoaster of a ride poor Sierra has had, she has loved, lost, fought and battled to the very end to get her man/wolf/dragon boy, but was it worth it? Did she get what she wanted?
I have lost so much sleep keeping up with these books, I just could not put them down, "just one more chapter" led to me reading the book in one night. Now we have come to the end of Sierra and Hunter's story and I have to say that DeRosa kept me on the edge of my bed until the very end, but it tied up all the loose ends and maybe there is hope for the Mystic Wolves after all.
I have to say thank you to this brilliant author, I think I have read all her books now, but I shall have another search on Amazon, you never know I may have missed a series - fingers crossed. I am looking forward to any new books she writes, she takes me away from everything for an entire book, there are just me and the characters for a few hours and I love it

Oh my holy shifter babies! This series conclusion packed a punch. I went through the range of emotions and was almost totally wrecked. No one brings the surprises and angst quite like G.K. DeRosa. This is unputdownable entertainment that will keep you flipping its pages.
Sierra has to draw upon everything that she is to win the trials. She losses and she gains and each victory is a bittersweet thing. She's being attacked and having to stay the coarse.
Hunter is frustrating as ever and his point of views make you think he's paving his own way. And he kinda is. He's keeping everything mum and doing things in unexpected ways.
This entire series was both extremely captivating and loaded with doses of oh nos. If shifters are your jam and you want a series that will stick with you, pick up this one! The covers are absolutely drool worthy too!

January 31, 2022Not rating this one or adding to my read books, but I did want to kee this for my records to know I did read the epilogue even though I skipped the rest of this book 😂 as a result of goodreads not listing this book as apart of the series, I only budgeted time to read the first three and honestly was losing interest by the end of the third. So I’m not sure I would have continued to this one anyway even if I did have time to read it. Either way, the epilogue satisfied most of my burning questions and I definitely feel great about my decision not to read the whole book. Excep, I’m actually really interested in Ransoms book and it sounds like from the epilogue that he played a bigger role in this story, but it sounds like a true standalone spin off so I’m sure I can pick up with that one and not feel incredibly lost.

This finale hits all the feels
After reading Hitched Live and the reintroduction of Hunter, I went back to check out this series for which started my new love of all books written by G.K. DeRosa. This is when I noticed that the final book was still listed as NEW and not read in my library.
I wasn't sure how I missed this final book in Hunter and Sierra's story, but since it had been some time between readings, I had decided to do a complete reread before the finale. Thankfully, I breezed through the prior books to finally get the answers and emotional 'feels' their story invoked.
This finale hits all the feels. Next on my list of reads is the Vampish series, which will hopefully get me caught up in the world of Azar and only have the next bachelor story to hit book form. Happy reading.

This was sooo good! Such a good ending! I do hope we see a trickle of Sierra’s life in Ransom’s story. I was curious to know what “bad news” Hunter had to share with Sierra when he got back from Nocturnis but we never got it. Maybe it’ll share Ransom’s POV of Hunter’s visit and we’ll find out that way.
All in all, this is such a good series. I actually love Lucien. I wish we could’ve had a scene where Sierra had to put the common pack Alpha’s in their place when they joined the council. Too bad Connor wasn’t mated to the other twin, but at least Braxton got one so he can finally understand how it was basically impossible for he and Sierra to ever be together.
I can’t wait to start Ransom’s book next. 10/10 would recommend this series. These characters are to die for!

FINALLY, yes!!!! There were so many great pay-offs in this book. Hunter and Sierra still had some major obstacles to overcome, and again, Sierra pointed out (rightly so) that everybody needed to stop trying to make decisions for her.
She is an alpha in her own right, and she is strong, smart, and capable.
We finally find out the Royal Pack’s allegiances, and I can’t say much more but I really hope we see more of a certain vampire again. Things come to a head with Tyrien and some of the other Lunar wolves competing in the Alpha Trials. There was a new minor character that I really liked, Connor.
I’m so so happy with how Sierra and Hunter’s story ended, even though I will miss these characters! I loved the ending so much!!

This series kept me engaged, more so than usual for a YA/NA crossover, it had a great engaging storyline, probably could have been 3 books instead of 4 but overall a great read. I loved Sierra's character and the angsty two and fro of trust vs romance with tons of storyline and a rich world supporting it all. TBH I would have loved if there was a one book spinoff for some of the other main characters as well. The only downside was by the end it felt a bit like Sierra was constantly pining over a guy who really couldn't care less. It was supposed to be endearing that he held her at arms length for all the "right" reasons but I felt that was pushed beyond the tension and into desperation territory. It made her seem clingy and him seem like a douche. I think condensing them into 2-3 books would have helped there.

December 1, 2021I don’t want this series to end! This was one of my favorites so far, and I’m sad it’s over. It’s definitely re-read. I will miss Hunter and Sierra, but I couldn’t have imagined a better ending. Both characters had a lot to overcome, and I was put through the wringer during this entire series, especially the last book. Just when things seemed to settle for the fated mates, another obstacle was thrown their way. Book four was action-packed mixed with steamy romance (my favorite) and a couple of twists I did NOT see coming. If you like urban fantasy romance or paranormal romance with a strong heroine, read this series!

Ah, what can I say about this author, the books are devilish good with great stories and this series was another entertaining book! Hunter and Sierra was wolves belonging to Moon Valley pack. Sierra belonged to a disappearing pack of Mystic wolves and trying to find more of her kind. Hunter's father was leader of Moon Valley pack and had created problems with the Mystic pack in the past so a curse was put on his son to where he could never love and his father hated Sierra.
A challenge between wolves to see who was the best and going to be leader of the pack entails the death of several.
A well written series to read!

Fateborne finishes G.K. DeRosa's Wolfish series, while leaving tendrils of the universe to build off of for her Vampish series.
I'll be short. Good series. Torrid Sex. Engaging. Magic. Fights. Twists. Deaths. Happy Endings. Satisfied Readers.
My major gripe is that these 4 books should have been one. My second major gripe is that the writing style is YA, the plot is YA, but the sex is adult. I felt like I was in Jr. High again with these hot-and-heavy juvenile passions.
Overall, one of the better series I've binged on by indie-authors in the last 6 months.
I should add a caveat if this rating seems low -- 3 stars is my rating for average. It wasn't bad in the sense it had a good, solid plot and an engaging story that was well thought-out and fairly well written. It wasn't amazing-- the plot was linear with no complexity afforded by subplots. It was entertaining.

I loved this series! I want more! It had a great ending but I miss Hunter and Sierra! I want to know more about Vander and Cass. I just loved all of them. There was enough mystery and action in this series to keep me on the edge of my seat. But the romance between Hunter and Sierra was terrifying. Would he stay with her, would he leave her, would he love her? All of their story was heartbreaking and I cried through a good part of the story. To me, that's a sign of a good romance. If it can affect me that much, it is really good.

another amazing book series!!!
I have officially read ALL of GK DeRosas series. And they are all great. If you like one you will like all. My opinion- I can’t wait for Vampish. My only complaint is the waiting. I have read most of them after the series’s was complete. Bonus for me as I could just pick up the next one immediately. I am not patient. So When I had to wait I would find something else in the interim. Be then have to reread to remember where it was at. Oh well it was worth it. Enjoy your books DeRosa. Thank you
Even loved rereading…

This was the finale we needed. It had everything pain, heartache, loss (which had me crying), happiness. It was so epic. Such a good series. Hunter’s constant downer on himself and how he was no good for Sierra throughout the whole series dod really annoy me but the rest of the book was so good I managed to overlook it with just an eye roll or a thousand. I wasn’t planning to go straight into another book by this author but now I have to find out what happens to one of her side characters so off I go to another series by GK DeRosa.

Wolfish: Fateborne by G.K. DeRosa is Book 4 in the Wolfish series. G.K. has brought us another awesome book. Sierra & Hunter are exceptionally well developed characters. In this 4th book there is plenty of action, suspense, secrets, sacrifice, loss, and romance which makes life difficult for Sierra & Hunter. This is a must read as well as the series which I highly and whole heartily recommend. Received an ARC and this is my voluntary review.
December 2, 2021
So much is going on that you can't put it down.
Hunter is making decisions without Sierra's input driving them farther apart no matter how hard she tries to change his mind.
Why wait till now to think about the two of them being the last two and it's to the death or one has to forfeit and leave the pack and their home 🤔?
Sierra has a loss that almost breaks her, can she go on?
I would highly recommend this book and series.

Fantastic ending
This was a fantastic conclusion to the Wolfish series. Absolutely loved it from start to finish. This entire series kept me on my toes and feeling so bad for Sierra. I’m so glad that she finally got the ending she deserves. Of course, she had to go through some hardships before she could get her happy ending. But seriously, such an amazing series so if you’re still debating, just read it.

I throughly enjoyed books one through three in this series, and the fourth and final one was no different. Though I have to admit there were a few times where I wanted to reach through the pages and smack Hunter up side the head.
Ms. DeRosa did an excellent job of wrapping everything up in exciting and twisted ways. There was action, betrayal, extreme stubbornness, romance, heartbreak, and definitely a few jaw dropping moments.
I can’t wait to see what comes next in the world of Azar.
