Unnatural Fate by JR Gray

 

My soul mate is my natural enemy.

Or close enough.

He’s a vampire and I’m a wolf.

Our kinds are at war. A centuries old blood war.

I can’t stay away from him. I hate him, but I want him.

Our love is a standoff. For every inch I take, he pushes a mile.

The world is against us. But I’m so tired of fighting the ties between us.

For every wolf that dies at the hands of a vampire, I feel more guilty.

Yet I go to him over and over and we use each other just enough until next time.

I can’t stop.

We both swear it’ll be the last time, but here we are again.

The cycle never ends.

But this time it has to.

I must either choose him and betray my people or walk away for good.

My Review: 4/5 Stars

Dominic and Vin have known their souls have been tied for a long time. Mates. But Dominic is a werewolf. Vin a daylighter, also known as a half-vampire. And with a war between the vampires and werewolves, being anything but enemies is a challenge. Doesn’t matter that Vin isn’t on the vampires’ side or that Vin is Dominic’s mate, something that is cherished beyond anything. They shouldn’t be together. But that doesn’t mean they don’t want to. They fight what they mean to one another for years. Pushing and pulling, staying away but unable to stay for good. But the time has come for both to finally give in. The love they have for one another is stronger than anything. And with a prophecy hanging over Dominic’s head that tells him he will die soon, well, it’s time to stop fighting their pull and fight to be together. They finally let themselves be and with that a whole new set of challenges come. Like the fact there is something and someone killing werewolves without a trace. It is up to Dominic as alpha to find the culprit and protect his people. But Vin won’t let him do it alone. They’ll have to fight to be together but also prove they are stronger together. I really enjoyed this story! It was such an interesting set up in the sense that we don’t meet them at the beginning of their story, but at a point where they can no longer stay away from one another. The love is already there but there is so much more to learn about the other and it gives them a chance to grow and be closer. The supernatural elements were an interesting take on werewolves and vampires. I really enjoyed being in this world and to have Dominic and Vin lead the story. I just couldn’t put it down!

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
