Amazing!
What an amazing story to start off a series!! The world building was amazing, and I love how Olivia meets each of the two men who are introduced in this book. I like how we really get to connect and understand the different characters through the multiple POV's as well. So it's not just Olivia's point of view. That helps really create a nice, well-rounded character who is easy to connect with. Understanding their pasts helps us understand who they are now and why they respond to different situations the way they do.
I also really like how it's not all instant love between everyone who has been introduced so far. There is tension between the guys, though there is definitely a bromance developing.
This book ended with a cliffhanger right after an amazing action scene and before we even got to meet any of the other men who are to be Olivia's mates, so I can't wait to read the next book!
Overall, definitely a 5 star read!!!

This was my first solo book that I have read by Maya Nicole & it was an excellent choice. This book is an amazing combination of paranormal meets an epic quest. And how the hell can you go wrong with a epic quest?
Oliva is a wonderful character who has had horrible luck with life, one mistake has cost her so much. Then add in the sexy Jonah, who helps to life Olivia's spirits so much. Finally we get a hot surprise as these two make it to the end of their journey back at Jonah's home.
The Narrators, Bridget & Jake Bordeaux do an absolutely phenomenal job with this audiobook. They completely bring the characters to life & this story was amazing to listen to. I cannot wait for the next book to come out on audiobook! Plus after that ending I need book 2 ASAP!

Soooo Goood
I absolutely love this universe and the addition of Olivia's story is amazing!!! Lucas is swoon worthy and I can't wait to see what happens next. This book does end on a cliffhanger.

I enjoyed listening and it was good hearing from Jax and the crew. After Olivia meets Jonah they go out for food and Olivia is approached by a stranger who speaks out a prophecy . Jonah comes looking for her and Harlow speaks it again so Jonah can record it . Olivia is told the knife will lead them where they need to go so Olivia & Jonah set off in search of answers.

I really went and read this book within a few hours of getting my hands on it! Finally a good fantasy RH and isn't written like a diary!
I haven't read anything by Maya Nicole before but now I seriously feel like I've been missing out! She did such a good job of building the world so you would understand why things were the way they were! I did feel it drag a little, maybe a little bit too much focus on the boys not liking each other, and I feel like it was the perfect spice level, until Lucas was introduced then it all kind of stopped! But I can't wait until the next book, I am really excited to see where this goes!

Please read Salinity Cove if you want to better understand Miss Olivia's situation and what has happened to her to get this far! Things will make much better sense. Now on to the review....
Olivia has been through the ringer! What started out as a rescue attempt when she nothing but a child, turned into a lifetime of hardships. A few years later after a difficult time at a family party Olivia, sets out on a quest of sorts to figure out a prophecy that will possibly turn her entire life around. With the help of an ally with his own misfortune, they travel across the country in order to figure out what and who can help them.
This book is full of mystery, intrigue, and some very hot men! Maya Nicole has made the Hidden Shifters Universe a world in which I lose myself in every time.

When Olivia was young she was rescuing a pod of dolphins and got stuck in an oil spill, she was then placed in a coma. Years later she woke up as a Kraken after being given the blood of a crazy god. Jonah was paralyzed after an accident when he was younger making him fear dragons, but after him being healed he meets Oliva at the edge of the woods while he is trying to bring forth his wolf. Olivia and Jonah grow close and make a cross country trip to find the next part of the prophecy that comes up and sets them off on their journey. When they finally settle at Jonah's house, Jonah finally has to face his fears and Olivia has to see where the dagger leads her. I can't wait to see where the next book goes and who else gets added to her harem.
