Hidden Mate is the first book within The Wolf Born Trilogy. In this, you will meet Sadie. Now she is very happy to be in college because that means she's finally away from her father. He likes to think that he's the alpha of all supernatural's. It's not really true but whatever helps him sleep at night, right?
Of course, she has some pros and cons while at school. One, her best friend Roxy is with her, and she has to deal with the annoying Alpha Heir, Brock. Ugh. Brock. I hated him. There's also the twist of finding her potential mate. Even though her dad is pushing Brock on her, she winds up falling for a human. Which, yes, is a no-no in her dad's eyes. Humans are weak and would therefore make her weak. Blah blah blah. He's annoying and needs to go away.
There's lots of drama and little action towards the end of the book. It honestly felt a bit rushed and I'm not sure what to say or think right now. I wouldn't necessarily call it a cliffhanger, but she ends up leaving her pack. Then sort of becomes her own Alpha. I definitely have questions and hope that two certain people are safe in the next book.

Hidden Mate was a fast paced read. But I couldn't connect with the characters. This book is part of a series.

Couldn’t put it down!
Some books just have that IT factor. This is one of them. I was so wrapped up in this story that I hardly functioned while I was reading it! Here’s a quick re-cap and my full two cents.
Quick Re-cap:
Sadie is a female Alpha heir who’s father thinks is worthless and only the most powerful are worthy of his time. She convinces her father to allow her to go to college to meet a male Alpha heir to mate with. While at college, she meets some new friends; a dragon shifter, two vampires, and her fated mate.
Sadie finds out there’s a vampire killing humans in the area. Sadie and her friends try to locate the vampire in order to save other humans, but become the vampire’s new target.
My Two Cents:
This is a great first book in the series. We learn that Sadie is more than just an Alpha heir, but we aren’t quite sure what that is and neither is she. Her new powers save her life a few times though!
There are a few grammar/editing issues in this book, but it’s not enough to annoy you to the point you won’t want to read it.
There is a sex scene and some steamy intimate scenes. They were well done and might have you reaching for relief, but they might not. It depends on you

I had high expectations for this book because it is right up my alley but it just was not good. I really tried to slog through it and failed. The main male dude is the most boring person I’ve ever met in my life. He is also one of the most unlikeable ones I’ve ever read. He is one of those people that think they are better than others because they had a shitty upbringing. He instantly judges others and the female lead for what they look like. I could go on about this point but I digress.
The author did not flush out any of the characters at all. The male lead just goes with the plot, idk how he makes any of the decisions he makes. For example when he finds out the female lead is a wolf and they are mates he doesn’t really ask any questions then proceeds to have sex with her. They barely know each other and have disliked each other for most of the book but then the author decided that they need to like each other so suddenly both of the main leads do. None of the other characters are well thought out for example all we really know about the female leads friend is that her family has a low position in the pack so they are not allowed to be friends and that she’s a generic female side character that likes sex and outfits(I’m being hard on this point but I really can’t tell you anything about her personality).They is about zero world building(I don’t even want to go into this).
These types of series are my bread and butter and I really don’t care about bad writing a lot but I barely know anything about any of the characters and all of them I greatly dislike. I’m disappointed because this book had great reviews. I’m not planning on finishing even though I only have a couple chapters left.

I enjoyed this suspenseful shifter romance. Sadie goes to college to get away from her bully and controlling father. She meets Donovan who is forbidden because he is not a wolf. I enjoyed watching her strength grow throughout the book and stand up to her father. This is part of a trilogy and does end on a cliffhanger. Sarah Puckett did a great job with the narration and all of the characters.

Gave it 50+ pages but it didn’t hook me at all. Not the characters, antagonist or world building.
