Shifter and vampire true mates story.

Alek’s older brother, Justice – the Alpha Zenith – was the first shifter to mate with a vampire in many generations, and it was believed the rare, fated pairing would stop at him. But, it hadn’t. Aleksei “Alek” Volkov was second beta, next in succession to the most powerful shifter in the world. He was proud of his title and he took his duties seriously. It was all he had. Until his true mate literally showed up on his doorstep.

Belleron “Bell” Liatos had come to the states for one reason – his best friend and vampire king, Chadwick Bentley. He certainly didn’t come to be pounced on by a wolf that could act independently of its master. Not only was his destined cherished a complicated and confused man, but he was also unaware of the powerful presence that lurked in the shadows of his soul. Bell didn’t know he’d be the key to unlocking an exceptional triad that would play a critical role in fulfilling the prophesy.

REVIEW:

Love is so powerful and so……EXPLOSIVE!

Aleksei has been fighting a war within himself for most of his life. And meeting Belleron has brought forth the beast within Alek, trying to show itself and be present in every part and aspect of his life. It does not bode well for Alek because of what had happened in the past. He feels alone, unwanted, confused, without support and scared. But as his older brother’s Beta, he has responsibilities.

Bell is one of the best leaders of his species, his King is dependent on him. He is his King’s best friend and is revered as one of his best warriors. He is surprised at what Mother has fated for him. He is proud of who he is and what he does.

Meeting each other has been a rollercoaster ride, to say the least. They have to learn about each other’s culture and begin to understand each other in order to co-exist. This series is my first paranormal read and it gives me excitement and the pining and I feel more than when reading contemporary MM romances. Ms. Adrienne, THIS IS TOTALLY AMAZING! I love the very human aspect of each MC and the supporting characters, which includes feeling scared, confused, being doubtful, and all that is infused in their relationships. The paranormal aspect of the story makes it more exciting and alive! I am totally in love with this series!

Mr. Troy Duran narrating has made the story more vibrant and each character is more alive than ever. You can hear every emotion that Alek, Wrath and Wolf feel through Mr. Duran’s voice. Being able to voice over three beings from one character alone is a feat in itself and add to that the other main characters and those of the supporting characters, it can get mighty confusing at times.  Mr. Duran was able to deliver consistency and uniformity in the different voices of the different characters. I salute you!

Thank you so much Ms. A.E. Via for writing this awesome second book of the series, and Mr. Troy Duran for narrating, this is TOTALLY AMAZING! I wish I can give more than 5 stars, it deserves more! I am in love with Alek and Bell! CONGRATULATIONS!
