This slow burn RH romance is underlined with so much mystery and intrigue. Layla is sweet and has not had an easy life and has had her life/world turned upside down on her. I am so excited to read where Layla's story goes next.
4.5/5
I loved this first-in-series NA shifter/college romance by Laurel Night! It’s a great concept: a girl wakes up in a hospital after suffering a horrific attack to find that she is now under the care of an uncle she never knew about and that her deceased parents had been in hiding for her entire life. Secrets build upon secrets when she moves from the streets of LA to the forested mountains of Tennessee to attend college. Why did her parents leave, and what were they running from? Who is she, really?
I loved the way Laurel wrote the fated mates, making this a slow-burn romance rather than fast-burn, as fated mates are often written. First, their age – the main characters are still relatively young. Second - the boys have known their status as fated mates to the FMC their entire lives, but she didn’t even know she was a shifter until just after she turned 18. Being told you now have three guys you are tied to for life is one (or three) steps too far. I appreciate that Laurel lets the relationships progress naturally from friendship to attraction before becoming more.
There’s good friction within and outside the pack as the FMC learns who she is and the role she must assume. Just the right amount of stress to drive the plot. Otherwise, between the mates, it is a low-angst story. Her mates are incredibly supportive and bolster her strengths, being the best friends she needs and giving her the family she hasn’t had since her family died.
I look forward to continuing this series and watching their relationships build. We were left at the end of this book with a new player arriving at the school who opens even more questions that needs to be answered in the next book.
