4.0

Alpha Kade was an intense and emotional read that took me a little longer to finish—not because it wasn’t good, but because it packed so much into every chapter that I needed time to process it all. The depth of the characters and the stakes they faced kept me hooked, even when I had to take breaks to absorb everything.

Logan, the Alpha of the Night Shade pack, fights fiercely for both his mate and his pack, showing strength and determination throughout. But Frey, the Luna, truly stands out as a powerful FMC—there were moments when she held it together even better than Logan, proving just how strong she really is. Their dynamic kept the tension high and the emotions raw.

One of the most heartbreaking parts of the book was Taylor’s journey. His story really pulled at my heart, and by the end, I was left hoping that he finally gets the happiness he deserves in the future.

Honorable mentions go to Valor, Keaton, and Jax—each of them added so much to the story, and I couldn’t help but love them as characters.

Overall, Alpha Kade was an action-packed, emotional rollercoaster with a fantastic cast. If you love a strong Luna, intense pack politics, and deep character connections, this one is definitely worth the read!
