About this listen

Welcome to Redwood University, where the creatures that go bump in the night really do exist…and they’re hiding in plain sight.

Attending a small college in the middle of nowhere was never my plan, but when I was offered free tuition and the promise of an excellent education, that plan changed.

It would’ve been nice to know I would be one of the only humans on campus.

It’d be even better if a certain bossy shifter didn’t claim me as his fated mate.

Alexei is arrogant, acrimonious, and the worst A-word of them all: an alpha.

But I can’t deny the way my body responds to him. No matter how many warning flags are waving around in my head, we gravitate toward one another. It’s primal. Passionate. Painful.

Because regardless of what the fates think, or the supposed destiny we share…Alexei and I could never be.

So, if Alexei won’t reject our bond, I’ll have to do it for him.

To Reject a Mate is the first book in the Redwood University Trilogy. It cannot be listened to as a standalone and ends in a cliffhanger. If possessive heroes, who occasionally turn into wolves, and sassy, headstrong heroines are your jam, you’ve come to the right place. So sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride into this exciting new paranormal world.

I absolutely love this 1st book due to it being packed full of the nasty girl, trust, drama and deception but also the empathy. I hope the next one follows its roll.

Paranormal, MF, Academy, bully story.

So I've not slept since I started this book, for book 1 it's flowed so well and I binged it.

Girl goes to Academy in the middle of nowhere because her dad has a new job. Girl meets boy, boy shows interest then flips out, girl finds out humans are not alone on this world, she's bullied for being human and it explodes from there.

Such a simple easy plot, but Nicole the FMC she's a strong character who has her head on strong and is mature for her age. The MC Alexis is an alphahole and because we his POV as well, you want to like him. But he fucks up soooo much, soooooo much. Even so his father is a piece of work and his POV is filled with the angst of pressure, pain and want stresses me out just listening.
Theres a power hungry female bully. A abusive anti human Alpha. A fun TMI best friend and beta. A workaholic, sweet, genius Father. There also shifters, witches, fae, vampires and more!

There is so much to unpack and I enjoyed unpacking all of this.

4.5 stars

That last statement!
