Torn Mate

Written by Belle Harper

Narrated by Sarah Sampino and Alex Kydd

Saint is torn. What his wolf and heart wants is Ada. He believes he isn't good for her, that Noah or even Huxley are a better choice, but he can't stay away. He knows he is just going to break her heart if he keeps doing this to her.

When Saint witnesses Huxley kissing Ada, he wants to rip his throat out, but at the same time it would just be easy to walk away. She has all she needs, two good mates . . . what does she need with a third one? Especially one like him. Damaged. No one wants a mate who has a secret . . . not one like his. And the more he pushes her away, the better it will be for everyone.

Reviews for Torn Mate

[Ravens9308 · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

I thought book 2 in this spinoff series was an improvement to book 1, we got more POVs and new material compared to book 1. I love these characters, the families this author has created, I just wish there wasn’t so much repetitive material in this series. I fell for Ada, Hux, and Noah and feel so bad for Saint despite what he keeps doing. The other side characters really make this shared world so spectacular. The different friends, family, loved ones. So good!

I liked seeing Ada come out of her shell and see her perspective. The word vomit and being so nervous reminded me of when I was in high school/beginning of college. I don’t usually read a ton of YA but this was adorable and I enjoyed it. I thought how Hux and Ada tiptoeing around each other, getting so nervous with each other was endearing. I am glad things finally happened though haha because they needed some encouragement! I felt bad for the situations Noah kept getting put into, I hope he steps up more in book 3 depending on how Ada and him handle the ending of this book.

Narration was good from these two, the confusion and heartache was palpable by them both, they brought these characters to life well and helped really stick the moments in my mind and made me instantly start book 3 haha.

Overall this one is more than 4 stars but because of how the author navigated this storyline (with mirroring and repeating a lot of things from the original series) I couldnt give it a 5 stars (it doesnt have a new storyline really but this one at least had more details and perspectives than book 1 so it felt more separation if that makes sense).
