Mate Claimed - book 4 in the Shifters Unbound series - by Jennifer Ashley
Rating 4.5 / 5 stars
Heat - 8.5 / 10
Genre - Shifter / Paranormal / supsense
I've been enjoying this series a lot but this was an exceptionally good entry in the series. The series consists of 10 novels (310-330 pages) and 10 novellas of varying length. An 11th novel is due out at the end of April.
In the world this author has created, shifters are known. They have been collared and forced into shiftertowns. The collars are half tech and half fae magic. They control the violent natures of shifters by shocking them if they release too much adrenaline. Shifters were originally created by the fae to act as their servents/warriors/pets. But the shifters revolted. They were free for hundreds of years and were dying out. They've only been known and collared for about 20 years. Humans treat them barely better than animals. They mostly fear them and have created many unfair laws to control them.
The h in this book is an uncollared shifter. If she is discovered she'll lose everything and so will her family. The H, leader of the local shiftertown, discovers her. He's trying to protect her. She's entering her first mating heat and will never be able to control herself without some help. He's also dealing with a group of lupine shifters that are being moved into his shiftertown and their alpha wants to kill the H.
This book was very intense. The story was complex and exciting. The relationship between the H and h developed gradually. The lust was there from the beginning but they didn't immediately act on it. Their feelings for each other built nicely over the story. They built a base of trust first. There was also some nice follow up for previous characters and build up of a few future couplings. But none of that took away from the couple in this story.
