Hidden by Fate

The Alpha Territories, Book 5

By: Shannon Mayer

Narrated by: Tillie Hooper, Will Peters

A prophecy foretold of a journey across the seas that would solve all my problems.

But now I'm stuck between an old flame who wants to rekindle what we had, and a jealous vampire who would take the other's head if permitted.

Did I mention the psycho goddess Lilis, stalking our every move, intent on killing us all?

Despite our troubles, what started out as a cobbled-together faction destined to fail is finally starting to rise to the challenge.

We're hot on the trail of the "gem" we've been searching for...a girl named Jade, who is the next key to restoring the Veil. If I can keep Raven from decapitating Maverick and myself from letting either of them make a fool out of me for love (again) we just might have a fighting chance.

Action packed

Picking up right where the previous book ended and my heart is pounding to see what Diana and her team will do next. Hidden by Fate certainly showcased what is at stake and it certainly kept everyone on their toes. I loved the action scenes and Raven. *Sigh* Diana is such a tough cookie, and I just love how she doesn't let her emotions get in the way of her decisions. The stakes are high in this one and I cannot wait for the sixth book to be released.
The narrators, Tillie Hooper, and Will Peters were great! They truly brought Diana and Raven and the other characters to life. The tones and inflections used were spot on for me. In many action scenes I felt like I was sweating right there with them, especially with the spider.
Many things were revealed in this book and I'm very eager to see what Diana does next.
This series is perfect for fans who enjoy shifters, vampires, prophecy, forced proximity, and great banter.

Favorite quote:

"...Both doors lead to pain. And we still must open one."

Gripping storyline and fun read or listen.

Diana's continuing story gets better with every book. The relationship development and growth between the characters keeps you turning pages or listening far into the night. You will go through all the feels in this one, I mean the full range of emotions, so keep the kleenex handy for both crying and laughing. That's what makes these books so good, you never know what to expect, but you can be sure it will be surprising and will touch your heart.
The one point that bugged me a little was the 2 narrators. Don't get me wrong, they are both very talented. and both did a great job. I also concede that the author wrote the chapters from 2 different characters perspectives. The only issue I have, and it's petty, is that while listening, you get used to hearing a characters voice by the narrator, and when they switch, it can be confusing to have a different voice in the next chapter. Just a personal preference.
Can't wait for the next book.

OBSESSED

What a great narration!!!

I started this series last week and could NOT put it down. Wow. The adventure and action in Hidden by Fate kept me so engrossed throughout the entirety of the book. This is absolutely one of those series that just keeps getting better and better. Every time I think I have a favorite character, a new one gets introduced that has me falling in love with them! Sal, Theo, Gabe, Myrr, Nathaniel, Sienna, Dom, and last but certainly not least Diana and Raven. The found family aspect, the sacrifice, the humor, and the plot all lead to a fun filled tale filled with a plethora of tension, plot twists, emotion, and intrigue.

“I do know it, with every breath I take, Diana, I know it. I will never leave you. You could command me away, you could tell me you hate me for a thousand years, and it would not change this truth. I will never leave you.”

An incredible new instalment to The Alpha Territories series

Hidden by Fate is the action packed fifth book in The Alpha Territories series.

Picking up immediately after the previous book, our heroes deal with one problem after another in this fast-paced story. Readers are in for an emotional rollercoaster with rising animosity between Raven and Maverick. Both of whom are constantly vying for Diana’s attention.

While dealing with their own relationship dynamics, the fate of the world as we know is hanging in the balance. Shannon Mayer has crafted an immersive fantasy world, with high-stakes drama and the best banter. I love how we have so many supernatural/paranormal creatures coexisting in the same space, which really adds to the growing tensions and peril.

I alternated my physical read with the audiobook. I found the narrators really kept a nice pacing for the action packed story and brought the various characters to life.

If you haven’t picked up The Alpha Territories series yet, I highly recommend adding it to your TBR. This swoony romantasy series is a must-read.

Loved this!

Lots of action and good laugh out loud banter makes for an entertaining and interesting story! Fate and reported prophecy drive the storyline but with many of Mayer’s stories, there is a twist. Loveable characters and an engrossing story will keep you entertained and hooked for hours! Looking forward to the next book. The narrators did a fantastic job with bringing the book to life! I received a free copy of this audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
