Savage Mates

Ummm yoikes..


This was pretty engaging, and the “rejected mate” trope was carried out in a deliciously angsty way to the point where I was willing to overlook any weirdness and or plot holes and or silliness...
This was a 3.5-4 star for me up until about 80% through

But when Liliana goes to save Randy and kinda does but then instead of, you know completing the rescue that she got herself all beat up for, she decides to go have a mini boink sesh with the old mates, I kinda lost my shit.It was so dumb, so unnecessary. The sex scene wasn't even enjoyable cause I was just screaming in my head “WHAT ABOUT RANDY” the entire time. Like I , unlike Liliana, did not forget her best friend was there and her life was in mortal danger. The whole thing was uncalled for, and honestly my intelligence felt insulted lmao.

Edit:
Previously I gave this 2 stars but that was actually before I had finished the ending, the quality of the writing essentially turned into soup after the whole Randy bit so it was so so hard to finish. I had to detract a star for how much effort and suffering I went through to read the last 30 pages or so...
