Weakness means death. Or worse.

After I was abandoned as a child, I was taken in by the Shadow Pack. A group of ruthless, lawless, shifters who have only one rule: never let anyone see your weakness.

In exchange for them keeping me alive, I owe them. The leader of the Shadows is as handsome as he is ruthless. And he’s offered to wipe my debt in exchange for marriage. He’d offer protection, but it would cost me my freedom.

Survival in the Shadows depends on back alley deals and shady alliances. It’s become a way of life that I stopped questioning years ago. When a routine burglary goes wrong, I find myself captured by the one family I never should have crossed.

The Umbra family owns this city. They make us Shadow wolves look like the good guys. They should have killed me for my crimes, but there’s a tiny problem… It turns out Madoc Umbra is my fated mate.

Instead of killing me, I’m a prisoner. The rest of the family doesn’t know of our bond and I intend to keep it that way. Madoc’s brothers want to end my life; he wants to break the bond. I just want to get the heck out.

As long as I don’t let them see any weakness, I might have a chance of making it out of here alive.

Darkest Mate is a full-length paranormal romance. 17+ for dark content, steamy scenes, and language. This is book one in a trilogy and is not a standalone. Mind the cliff.

Upcoming Release Dates:
Darkest Mate: December 9, 2021

 Penelope's Review

I am pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed this book! It's been awhile since I delved into the world of the supernatural in my books and I wasn't sure if it would still be up my alley. I'm happy to say I still LOVE this genre and I found Darkest Mate to be a well-written novel with great tropes and an interesting plot.

I liked Ivy's character - she was a hard worker with goals and a plan to achieve those goals. While I wasn't a fan of all of her reactions to certain situations, my overall impressions of her was a good one. She had little sense for self-preservation but I found that it added to the humor of the story. Dax was a well-written character but I didn't like him. He was creepy and arrogant and I really didn't like him and Ivy together. Madoc, on the other hand, was brilliant. Even though we only have a small introduction to his character, I already know that I'm going to love him. 

While this book starts off slow, it ends fast. The last half is action packed and leaves the reader full of questions that we desperately want answered. Overall, I really enjoyed reading this and I am looking forward to continuing the series!

Rating: 4/5 Devils!
