This is my first S.R. Mitchell book and it won’t be my last.
This is the story of Eric and Kelly. The book grabs you from the start when she is running from an abusive boyfriend, were we first meet Eric when he comes to help her. Kelly wakes to find herself in Eric’s compound where she starts to realize that she is not just a witch but is a wolf as well and that Eric is her mate.
They have to deal with the drama of someone hurting their people and Kelly’s ex-boyfriend who is out to get her back.
Eric helps her through her first shift and ends up kidnapped by rogues. She finds her parents while being held captive and helps them escape the cells they are held in. Saved by her mate and her father, and learns her true healing strength.
I could not put this book down and I didn’t want it to end. I really want to know what happens next.
I’ve been reading a lot of “shifter stories” lately and each one is just a little bit different than the others. The action begins right from the prologue and moves forward at a very quick pace.
The characters are well developed and the secondary characters lend an important piece to the story. Eric and Kelly are both Alphas so of course there have to be important betas in their life.
This story is written in such a way that it was as visually appealing as it was adventurous and exciting.
I look forward to reading more from this author in the future.
Kelly has a habit of falling for the wrong guy . . . but this time really takes the cake! Deciding she has had enough, Kelly decides to leave . . . Fate, however, has other plans for Kelly. While cutting through the woods on her way home, Kelly is attacked. Even though she uses her powers as a witch to try and escape, she can’t outrun a group of werewolves. Fighting for her very survival, fate intervenes in the name of Eric, an Alpha wolf of the local pack out hunting the rogues who attached Kelly.
As soon as Eric finds Kelly in the woods, he knows she is his mate. What he doesn’t understand is how that can be when she is a witch and he is a wolf. Eric is 100% Alpha, and not looking to settle down, but things change quickly once Kelly enters the picture.
Things, however, are not always what they seem . . . and neither is Kelly. Once her past is brought to light, Eric and the rest of his allies realize why the rogues were after Kelly and know they must be willing to fight to keep her safe from harm. Kelly also knows she must embrace her heritage to fight for her place with Eric in his pack.
Can Kelly and Eric fight the evil that is stalking them? Will the pack accept Kelly as one of their own? Will Kelly be able to deal with events from her past that make her who she is today?
S.R. Mitchell did a great job with her first shifter romance. The plot moves quickly and includes adventure as well as plot twists that readers will not see coming. Her character development is well done. It’s fun to watch Eric and Kelly come to terms with their immediate and explosive mating attraction. The ancillary characters, such as Kelly’s Aunt and Eric’s pack mates help to add depth to the story.
Shifted By Fate is a great paranormal romance story with just the right amounts of action and adventure, mystery and intrigue to keep readers turning the page!
