Frost and Fate by Violet Taylor is book one if the Chosen Shifter Mates series. An attached 20 something drifter Nova reveals she has magical abilities and someone is after her to make use of those abilities. She is rescued by a lycan pack and sexy lycan Darren is assigned to keep an eye on her. But the hands of fate have other ideas. Note: This book contains violence and explicit sexual content.

The Lovely: I fell in love with the characters so fast, especially Nova when she used her magic to protect others. Bad ass girl! The relationships and spice were also written well and I was invested!

The Mundane: I’m still not clear on how the Veil and magic system exactly function. Hopefully we’ll learn more in the next book.

The Dreadful: This story was very fast paced, which was great for tension, but left me wanting more of the story as it progressed. I kept want to yell “wait for me!”

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. It was a quick read, which is what I needed right now (I’m in the middle of otherwise reading a different 8 book series), and the relationships gave me warm and fuzzy feelings. I can’t wait to start book two!
