Taken by Fate

The Alpha Territories, Book 1

By: Shannon Mayer

Narrated by: Summer Roberts, Tyler Donne

Plucked out of the Collector’s Pens, auctioned off to a vampire contingent, and sent across the ocean to the Alpha Territories was not exactly how I planned to spend my week.

Actually, scratch that. I had planned the first bit. But I was supposed to be sold to the werewolves so I could save my friend from a fate worse than death. Instead, the bloodsuckers have me and so far? It's not going great. I've been shoved into a corset and made to look like an extra on the cast of Bridgerton, all to take part in the Harvest Games—think The Bachelor set in the 1800s, but the men are all vampires, and then add a decidedly terrifying Squid Games element to the mix.

No problem.

My goal—besides keeping the number of holes in my body to the current norm—is more than surviving. It is escaping the inescapable, finding my way to the werewolf territory, and getting Jordan back.

Cue the political strife.

Armed with nothing more than a super sharp hairpin, my questionable charm, and an irrational amount of optimism, plans to get both me and my bestie out alive are in full swing.

Until the General of the Vampire Army and his molten eyes light me on fire and leave me wondering if escape is what I want after all.

Maybe one extra set of holes wouldn’t be the worst thing ever....

Bought the second book in less than 5 minutes after finishing this one

Heroine who keeps her wits about her, magic, sexy vampires and intriguing politics. The spice adds to the plot and only made the story more intriguing. I absolutely love that the heroine isn’t dumb in love and doesn’t lose sight of her plans.

New Shannon series!

Fantastic start to a new series- amazing characters and storyline. Shannon’s stories always have a way of pulling you in- and this one definitely has you cheering for the heroine. Action, Adventure, Dark and sexy vamps and shifters- sign me up for #2! I can’t wait!!

This was good

My only issue is it left on an stupid Clift hanger smh. Just purchased book two tho. These should be put in one trilogy.

More Than Just A Girl

It was a good story but it seemed a little too smutty. The actors were good and Edward was a devious character you loved to hate. Dominic was a nice suave on the cast of characters because he knew how to work around Edward. Except for the end.

Great New Series!!!

This is a new series by Shannon Mayer.

This book sucks you in from page one….

I didn’t know what to expect from this book, we didn’t have a lot of plot information before reading.

However, I should not have worried… Everything Shannon Mayer writes is EXCELLENT!!!

This book is new, exciting, hot, and has the potential to be one of my new favorite series.
