I have a love-hate relationship with this book. Overall this was an enjoyable, quick read. Some portions of the book got me hyped up, and others had me going "... really?" But nothing was truly bad about it other than her randomly gaining magical powers - although I think two of the instances have a legitimate reason... Loved Egan.
I'll probably read the next book. 3.5/5

Wolf shifters have always been my favorite and this one is awesome! Then you throw in vamps and a dragon as well and I'm a happy reader! And the angst was incredible! Can't wait to see where these characters go from here!

Sadie & Roxy make one hell of a shifter duo, best friends heading off to college for a chance at a bit of escape. They meet some new friends, and their lives get twisted upside down. Having to make some life changing choices aren’t usually easy.
This book is full of angst, twist, and intrigue.
Can’t wait for book 2!

I bought this book on a bit of a whim while browsing Audible. I'm not long into exploring audiobooks and I was looking for narrators I didn't want to stab in the eye when I came across Hidden Mate by Jen L Grey.
The story follows Sadie, a young werewolf who has finally found herself where she wants to be - at college, with her best friend and most importantly, away from her controlling father. But, on her first day, she gets more than she bargain for, accidentally stumbling into her fated mate... and, to make matters worse, he's a human.
After making a vow to stay away from him after a few *heated* encounters, Sadie finds herself thrust into life side by side him, while having to question everything she's ever know. Does she stay loyal to her dad - the alpha of the pack and the most famous super natural - or does she go her own way and make her own destiny?
I really enjoyed this audio book - the narration was great and really captured all of the emotions well. Although Sadie isn't the badass female main character we've all come to expect in fantasy books, she really does grow through out the story, speaking for herself and not letting others control her. She also has a great group of friends that she's found (two vampires, a dragon and a werewolf no less!) that really do have her back and really advocate for her following her dreams, as well as doing what she believes in. I do think if I had been reading paperback, I would have found the story too predictable, but it was just what I needed for an audiobook!
The best bit: seeing Sadie stick up to her dad and follow what she believes in
