Soul-Mate by Anna Santos

5.0

When Annabel walks into Shane’s life, he realizes she is his fated mate. Shane is the (extremely sexy) local sheriff and a dominant werewolf, and the connection between them is undeniable. Annabel has secrets. She’s a hybrid and a Hunter, who is on a secret mission that has a life at stake. She’s new in town, letting others believe that she is human, because hybrids are scorned by other supernaturals. Will Annabel’s secrets destroy the growing bond between them?
I LOVED this book. It’s a fantasy romance, with a strong plot. The characters have depth and development. The world building is excellent- I got lost in Santos’ world. Hybrids supposedly don’t have mates, so Shane had to work to get Annabel to believe that they were meant for each other, which had their initial spark develop into a deep relationship. Super hot sex scenes, fast-paced and well-written battle scenes, and characters the reader can care about made this book and this author a new favorite. I can’t wait to read the rest of the books in this series. Highly recommended.
