A review by bookdragonheart
Hidden Mate by Jen L. Grey
4.0
Sadie thinks getting away from her overbearing, Alpha father and the pack by going to college is going to be her key to writing her own path, even if she is forced to bring Brock, who is essentially babysitter sent by her father. But starting with the first day, things prove to not be so easy for her. An odd, unexpected, and unwelcome draw towards a human in her class puts her on edge. Then, as she meets more supernaturals on campus, other things start happening that put everyone on alert.
I love the blending of the supernaturals, wolf shifters, vampires, witches, etc. It always adds an interesting layer to the story to see how these different types interact and help or hinder each other. The relationship with Sadie and Donovan is complicated and definitely starts out on shaky footing, neither of them wanting to acknowledge the emotions that the other seems to bring up when their around each other. But as things progress, they realize they can’t deny what’s happening between them, something is pulling them together. The friendships that Sadie makes, the circle she builds around herself with them, starts to take on a found family vibe, and there are some fun banter and bonding moments between them as they try to figure out the vampire mystery on campus.
But Sadie’s father won’t stay on the sidelines long, and when Brock starts to really feel edged out, things start going from bad to worse. The book ends on a cliffhanger, with a good foundation for the series set up, and potential for a very interesting and great story yet to be told.
