Serena Paris is orphaned, pack-less, and one of a kind. Coming forward as the first Human-Were hybrid was supposed to heal a centuries-long rift between species. Instead, it made her a target, prey to the ruthless political machinations between Weres, Vampyres, and Humans. With her enemies closing in on her, she has only one option left - if he'll have her.
As Alpha of the Northwest pack, Koen Alexander commands obedience. His authority is so absolute, only a fool would threaten his mate. It doesn't matter if Serena doesn't reciprocate his feelings, nothing will stop him from keeping her safe.
But power-hungry Vampyres and Weres are not the only threats chasing Serena. Sooner or later, her past is bound to catch up with her - and Koen might be the only thing standing between her and total annihilation...

Mature content: yes
Review: It took me a few pages to get into the book, mostly because I needed to recap the story of Bride, since I've read it well over a year ago. After that - well, I absolutely loved this book. Just like Bride, it's a bit heavy on the sexual content towards the end, but it's written in Ali Hazelwood's funny style and, well, you can't help but love Koen and Serena together.
Although in theory Mate could be read as a stand alone, my honest advice would be to read Bride first (if you haven't read it before), or give it a quick re-read (if, like me, you have read it while ago), as it will make it much easier to understand the context and the host of secondary characters.
Happy readings!
