Orphaned in a brutal attack as a young child, Calista grew up raised by hunters. In her twenty-one years, she’s learned how to take down almost any kind of supernatural creature that steps outside of the agreed-upon rules, but there’s only one kind of creature she hates: the ones who destroyed her family.
As Alpha of the biggest wolf pack in the area, Vaughan can’t wait any longer for his mate. He’ll have to take a chosen mate to keep his pack safe, but all his good intentions are blown apart when he comes face-to-face with the young hunter and realizes that fate has other plans.

My Review
This story is predominantly a wolf-shifter paranormal romance with a mystery-like storyline. Still, I like the addition of other paranormal/supernatural characters as well. It was exciting, and the overall storyline is sweet, suspenseful, steamy, and oh-so-good. I can’t wait to read more in the series. I love the fated mates, the internal and external complications, and, of course, Callie and Vaughan. The story is twisted and action-packed but has just the right amount of paranormal romance and steamy scenes to balance it.
We begin the prologue with a little girl having a bad dream and her father comforting her. But then the worst thing happened, and her life changed forever.
Calista is that little girl, now a young adult. She is now a hunter. She is biased towards werewolves and taught to hate their kind. Wow, her misconstrued notions are genuinely messed up. The hunters have done a number on her views.
Vaughan is Alpha of the Crimsontooth Pack of the northwest. He is debating signing a contract and taking a chosen mate to benefit his pack. But something is holding him up. Wow, he signed the papers. I wonder if he will regret it.
We do jump povs between Calista and Vaughan. Her job as a hunter leads toward her past and her own answers. She seems to get herself in trouble with her own curiosity. Calista’s story gives you all the feels of how it is told in the book. It is truly a tragedy.
This story gets juicy as the characters discover more than they bargained for. I love the moments where the readers know more than the characters.
This book gets steamy as we eventually get to the Fated Mate part of the story. They work on solving puzzles and, of course, their own logistics. The book is sweet as we get a resolution of Callie’s past and their future.
I love the enemies-to-lovers aspects and the hunter and wolf shifter to solve the suspense of who did it. I absolutely loved how this book ended.
