I could not put this book down, from the moment I started it - I was hooked. The pages kept turning so I could figure out what happened next. The tension between Mera and Shadow...SO GOOD!
And what the hell is wrong with her pack? That ending? I STILL HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS! Cannot wait to start reading the next book!
Lately, I have been like my books with a little more spice but while this one had some spice it still kept me fully engaged. I devoured it within one sitting!

DNF - 44%... I gave this book 144 pages before I threw in the towel, life is too short to read books that take too long to get to the point.
The story drags on and on and ON about stuff that doesn't seem to matter. I don't recommend.

Wow! This was fantastic! I thought that it was going to be like one of those extreme spice novels (which is fine with me), but was caught off guard. There was tensity, but no actual banging lol
The ending was also surprising and a cliffhanger.

I read this because I wanted to read a book where the heroine rejects the "fated mate" and ends up with someone else. To be clear this book (and I'm presuming the rest of the series continues this and doesn't try to redeem Torin) does have this trope. Unfortunately, I didn't otherwise find the story compelling. Doubt I'll continue.

The frustration I felt while reading this book. Major side eye, tbh.
REJECTED started out so interesting--I love these kinds of bully stories because I just know the MC is going to prove them all wrong. I was incredibly invested and I was fully engaged, and then...shit hit the fan and it all just...slowed...down. The story went from intriguing, to drawn out and kind of boring. I haven't fallen asleep with a book this much in a long time. Every time I picked it up, I felt my eyes drooping. And listen, it's not to say the story didn't have it's great moments, but it just felt never ending.
I did like the tension between the MC and the Shadow Beast, but that cover is a total catfish. Also, the MC was this badass woman who constantly touted the whole "us women have to stick up for ourselves" (which I agree with), but then she'd immediately forgive or forget something the Shadow Beast or some other man in her life did to her. Or, there's a point where she's like "this person hurt me so much and my past is so dark because of them but my heart was moved and blah blah blah." Yes, I get that it's complicated because of her wolf, but it was ridiculous. I actually groaned in frustration at that scene. Why can't we just have a character who holds on to her anger and grudge without being "moved" by the actions of a horrible character? That's not empathy, that's idiocy tbh, and self-sabotage.
I won't lie, I've started book two because I'm curious about certain things, but I'm again just feeling that dragging that this book caused. It's like a shapeshifting book meant to edge the reader into painful submission. And I get that this works for many readers, but damn. The constant back and forth and the repeated tedious tasks just...
Anyway, strong af start, disappointing middle, vaguely intriguing ending because now I want answers. I'm scared of how the second book will go LOL.
Happy reading!

Uuuuumh what was this end??? Just rude to end like this.
Im really happily surprised with this book. It was a bit slow in the beginning but I really loved it. The characters are cool although Mera was quite annoying and shadow a bit too abusive, which I’m not a big fan of, but I loved the side-characters. I also sometimes found the writing style a bit cringe. I did really like the world building and I’m really curious how this will go on. A solid good read
