I’m putting in my review to remind myself DO NOT READ THIS BS AGAIN.
I was promised a few things by a friend for this books:
✔️ Abduction’s
✔️ Werewolves
✔️ Dubcon
✔️”Leave your feminism at the door” energy that is only good in fiction
What I got was only the werewolves and slight abduction without actual consequences.
So this book is a YA book. Oh yes it’s probably marketed as NA/CR, but it’s YA. This is similar to a CW show comparison where, because the tropes and horrible formatting are apparent, it makes it a stereotypical “YA” book.
The premise of this book is about Mason (ML) , an alpha werewolf who feels deep in his bones that something is off. An untimely run in with his alpha brother and his mate leaves some scars, but it gives the audience a segue into Amelia (FL) , who is the sister of the last FL worried sick and is currently affianced with a wedding in progress.
When Mason realizes she’s his mate, he abducts her, as one does in shifter land, and Amelia is definitely not having it.
See, I was being sarcastic since that’s not true at all.
This entire book in theory should be a dark romance featuring abduction and entering a brand new misogynistic side of the world. Instead, the author relies on us believing in the standard #BodyBetrayal trope as the FL, who wanted so “badly” to escape” actually has the sudden hots for the werewolf who abducted her and has no actual plans to be faithful in her relationship nor does she actually care about her sister other than saying she does and never acting as if she does.
The entire book is written so poorly that my two stars is generous. The entire fallacy that even the protective mom of the FL and her sister just giggles and goes along with this instead of actually mothering her daughter made me want to throw my kindle.
Ah, but then of course it gets to the fated part: FL can’t have kids.
There goes my I-can’t-believe-it’s-not-YA buzzer because I have bingo.
This entire book vividly reminds me how easy it is to publish anything onto the internet and how saturated so much media is with unedited, unresearched, and uninspired content that it discourages people from wanting to wade through trash to find a small thing of treasure.
I actually did a #SpiteWrite OW one-shot because how bad this book handled so much of it’s “plot”.
If porn without plot is your thing, I encourage you to read it. But if you want a believable plot and likable characters with chemistry so it makes intimate scenes well earned? Read something else.
I hope if my future self ever sees this book recommended to someone, I can remember how much this book did absolutely the worst job in explaining a story. I’m so glad I will never need to read another work by this author and I encourage them to at least find a beta.
If a wattpad novel has better formatting and editing than a published work, there’s a problem.
UPDATE
This book is worse than I thought.
This author has completely disrespected infertility and the nuances with surrogacy. But honestly, I cannot say I’m surprised considering the atrocious, unrealistic dialogue, and the validation of sexual assault as long as it’s in a relationship. I read books for escapism, but wooooooooow this book definitely belongs on Wattpad.
Had to lower my star rating to one after the mess I just finished.
So Mason is allowed to hurt and assault his “wife” and she forgives it even though everyone else recognizes he was assaulting her. Magical pregnancies for those struggling with infertility is to be celebrated. It’s also to be celebrated how no one wants to actually take abduction seriously and it’s play off like a romcom.
Can’t forget how the entire story has no coherent plot! I wish this had been on Wattpad. Truly. It deserves to be there.

slow-paced
The lady doth protest a wholeeee lot in this one. Angst and self esteem issues were rampant for this lady, and I almost got sick of her. Mason was just an amazing mate and alpha, so consistent and loving ALWAYS. Amie was… let’s just say you’ll need patience with this heroine. Nevertheless this was awesome and felt like a treat after waiting so long for it. I’ve missed shifter fiction like this!

fast-paced
DD Prince is the Queen of writing scorching Alpha males and partnering them with women who are strong and capable of taking care of themselves, and then DD throws in wittiness and humour that has me swooning and laughing while reading the same page!
This couple are fated, or are they? Is there witchcraft and coercion or manipulation involved? Amelia and Mason struggle to find their footing, especially Amelia. Mason does not need convincing, because he knows this is his fate, where he is meant to be and who he is meant to be with.
Amelia's sarcasm and wit had me laughing out loud a lot, especially when she called Mason Doggo and referred to Rick as whatshisface
These characters were so well written and developed that I felt immersed in this story from page one until the end.
Magnificent and amazing story!

Better than the first book. Amelia just had more to her. I get the first book was about Tyson but idk it just seemed kinda short and rushed at the end. This one seemed to have more detail and a good flow to it.
“Mason Quinn: Shapeshifter sex god, crepe chef, and panty ruiner. Lord have mercy on me - how much longer can I resist?”
Gah! This was such a good push and pull, angsty book! We get Ivy (from book one) sisters story! When Amelia goes and searches for her missing sister, she ends at finding her fated mate herself!
It was such a fun experience to head back to Arcana Falls and revisit some characters. We definitely see more of Tyson and Ivy. And we see Mason become such an alpha and possessive mate, but also adoringly loving and amazing - even if it took Amelia forever to realize that she is where she should be.
The problem is Amelia is engaged to another guy. An awful guy, but she maintains here loyalty to him and the wedding. Mason won’t have it.
It’s a ton of push and pull because obviously Mason knows that this is his mate. And while Amelia does feel something, she knows that her late aunt - who got witches involved, she feels like this is all fake in temporary. And refuses to invest any feelings into Mason.
This book was so good. It was well worth the long ass weight. I thoroughly enjoyed all (over) 700 pages of this juicy shapeshifter romance.
There’s tons of drama, and spice, with more HEA from the characters of book one but also with Amelia and Mason. It’s also pretty clear that we will get book 3 and who will be the main characters!

Twisted is the second book in this series. What can I say there is just something about a hot alpha possessive wolf that gets me everytime. D.D.Prince does an outstanding job creating a world that sucks you in with in the forest paragraph.
Mason Quinn is 1 HOT AF alpha wolf that will do whatever is necessary for his pack, and for his destined mate. When he first lays eyes on Amelia he instantly knows she is his. He has his worked cut put for him because she is not quite sold on the whole fated mate thing. Their road is a little bit curvy, a little bit bumpy, and is filled with a whole lot of chemistry that will surely melt the panties of a saint.
In true D.D. form she does a great job setting us up for what is in store for us next. I can not wait to see the other council members get their HEA's.

I enjoyed the second in this series as well. I think I enjoy DD Prince as an author and will read some more of her books. Looking forward to Riley’s book and hope he gets his HEA
