The Mating
The Mating: The Original Law of the Lycans Story | Nicky Charles
11 posts | 22 read | 9 to read
Elise had no idea when she came home that day that she'd end up mated to a complete stranger. A new Alpha and the need for an alliance between packs have made her a pawn Excerpt: She lay beside him, staring blankly at the ceiling. The deed was done. They were mated. It didn't matter that she had no love for him nor he for her. Political alliances were more important than feelings...

It was okay. I just had a harder time with the language and power dynamic for this (but its sort of typical for werewolf pack type of books)

Ha! I can't cook! I 100% prefer someone to cook for me! I need it! NEED it! Or I have popcorn, cheese/chips, sandwiches for dinner.

It was great (not great reading but..) I got a lot accomplished house-wise!

Mehso-so

Finished this one today. I mostly skimmed it toward the end. I know a lot of you all said it was super good. I had a hard time getting into it... the ending or well last quarter of it was much better than the beginning and salvaged the book a bit for me but.. it wasn't super great for me.

1. okay I love Klaus but.. I am having a hard time with the whole Werewolves/pack ownership thing going on with the were-mentality and women being more of ownership. Maybe its just the mood I am in today ?? Thats why I am super close to DNF of this book

2. Teenwolf :)

3. Valentine's is over (I am late to update) but... I worked that day, husband made a great dinner for me -- he is super good to me!

Bookworm54 If you aren‘t loving it DNF. Life is too short and we don‘t all like the same books! Don‘t feel obligated because other in the group liked it :) 3y
ElizaMarie @Bookworm54 I ended up finishing it after all. I skimmed parts of it though. I mean it was okay. I would say “so-so“ I feel like I am not great with the were-wolf paranormal romances. The whole being in “heat“ thing is a bit harder for me to fall into. 3y
Bookworm54 I would not recommend the Riley Jenson series then! The whole full moon, heat thing is in that quite a bit. Yeah I find the were-Wolf/shifter paranormal ones are more likely to have the alpha male, proprietary types in. I don‘t really mind that so much in paranormal romance, but in real life I would be running for the hills! 3y
ElizaMarie @Bookworm54 I think its like that with the vampires too but I feel like its different enough to where I enjoy the vamps better. 3y

So, I was looking up some fun and interesting things to post to get some more conversation going on in the #PLC group. I came across this little gem. Have any of you heard about this before?

Check it out here....

Bookworm54 I hadn‘t heard of this, how interesting! 3y
AkashaVampie @Bookworm54 ikr. now this is something we should learn in school. It would make school more interesting and people wouldn't fall asleep. 3y

I got this one from Kindle (its taking me some time to read as my contact are still bothering me -- I lost one and am using an older pair that is not quite the right prescription -- until my insurance kicks in and I can see the eye doc).

Anyway I am enjoying it so far.

I think @bookworm54 summarised it very nicely. There is drama and tension and lust in Elise and Kane's relationship, and many of their issues could be sorted if they would just properly talk to one another! Marla makes a fantastic antagonist and the story keeps you guessing at what her ultimate motive is. It's pacey and keeps you on edge and I enjoyed re-reading it.

Mrs_B All that being said, the sexism is rife within this paranormal story which I only noticed on this re-read. Ladies are very much kept in the kitchen or as secretaries and not out on patrol or in leadership roles. There is a much better balance in later books in this series, and I would urge anyone to read the rest as well. I actually think this first is my least favourite, Ryne or Armand's stories are probably among the best. 3y
Bookworm54 I think partially the sexism is explained as being part of the older traditional packs, and something they wanted to move away from. So I can imagine it can only get better! :) 3y
Mrs_B @Bookworm54 I agree, I think it's one of those things that once I noticed it and was looking for it then it really started to bug me! 3y
ElizaMarie I can't wait till I start this one! 3y
Mrs_B @ElizaMarie Hope you like it! 3y

I wasn‘t sure about this one, but once I read the first chapter I was invested!

While parts stressed me out (petty plots and subterfuge leading to a lot of problems that could be solved by TALKING!) I liked the main characters and how despite the paranormal elements and stressful petty plots, it was about trying to fit into a new place and get to know someone after an arranged marriage.

I enjoyed this one :)

⭐⭐⭐⭐
I was honestly kind of skeptical on how much I would like this considering it was a free e-mail download from a site I had signed up for.
That being said, I loved the twist on this book. I've read a few werewolf stories but never have I read one with a plot line like this one. It was a new and fresh take on it (to me anyway)
I loved the characters and it was really interesting to see how their relationships blossomed.
