Lycan and Lark by Violet Taylor is book three of the Chosen Shifter Mates series. This books follows Aria, the sister of the pack’s Alpha, and Lark, the mysterious created lycan celestial. Aria knows Lark is her fated mate but his villain status means their relationship is forbidden. Note: This book contains violence and explicit sexual content.
The Lovely: Again, the characters and relationships are where this story shines. I liked seeing the different side of Lark, and how Aria responded to that.
The Mundane: Again, I missed having Nova and Darren around much. They’re still my favorite pair.
The Dreadful: Most of this book takes place concurrent with book 2 (Alpha and Ivy) but from Aria and Lark’s POV. So if you’ve read book two the tension just really was not there until the end of the book.
Rating: 4/5 stars
Recommendation: First, I always love stories with a fated mate trope. This was a fun, spicy book but in a paranormal/fantasy realm that I prefer to read. The first book is still my favorite. I do think this book advanced some of non-mate, magic threat concepts much more than the prior two books, which was welcome. Book four comes out in June!
