When i started this series i started with Mary and The Bear. Which is not the first book. True Mates is the first book. I did not realized this because True Mates is not offered for Kindle. However i caught up quickly and think that this is a wonderful addition to the series and hoping that there will be another. SPOILER ALERT. Shannon is a werewolf who was ran out of her pack by her alpha and brother. Who are one in the same. Rory, her brother did this to protect her, because Shannon is an Alpha-fem and is as strong as her brother. Rory knows that his pack will not accecpt her after she is challenged to become a mate and declines the challenges. Rory runs her to the Raven pack who is not stuck in the old ways like the Sparrowhawk's pack are, due to Rory and Shannon's father. Once Rory runs her to the Raven pack territory, waits till she is found, which is when Nikolai finds her and she attacks him by biting him. That bite starts a change in Shannon that begins a bond between her and Nikolai. When Shannon is healed she is then asked to join the Raven pack and she does so willingly.This book is Nikolai and Shannon's story, but also starts Rory and Shaylah's story as well. Shaylah who is Kiesha's cousin (Keisha is whom the series starts with and is the Alpha-fem to the Raven Pack).  When her brother finds out that Nikolai a vampire thinks that his sister is his Chosen (mate) he flips out, telling her that it is forbidden for werewolves and vampire's to mix and that puts Shannon in an odd situation. Which leaves the questio will Shannon go with her heart or with what is expected of her.I will admit this book switches point of view several times so if this is the first book you are starting with i recommend that you start at the beginning other wise you will be sorely lost. If you start with Mary and the Bear you should be fine. If you don't like stories switching from one person to the next you may not like this book. This book is definitely a good read. (You don't have to read true mates, but it would help. I haven't read Tameka's smile and I plan to go on to Claiming Shayla when it comes out, it follows Nikolai's Wolf)True Mates Series:True MatesMary and the BearNikolai's WolfTameka's Smile (I think this is more of a side story)Claiming Shayla (Supposedly next in line)
