Romances like these are not typically my comfort genre, but this one called out to me. Aria Wolf did not disappoint- The Rouge King’s Mate was full of action, complicated characters, betrayal and romance- all of my favorite aspects of a novel! A hidden literary treasure.

Two wolves who are struggling to find their own place in a pack, and struggling with trusting anyone but themselves. The story is compelling, and the building was pretty spot on. There were some holes and errors, but a thorough editing job would likely help fill those spots. Parts of it were slow, and others far too rushed, but overall I enjoyed this book! I would happily seek this author out again to see what else she comes up with.

I fast read that still has world-building, along with character development within the story. Looking forward to reading more from this author.

Overall, I thought the plot was fairly well developed, though some parts seemed to go at light speed compared to others. The pacing of this book was decent, and I enjoyed the character backstory. Both characters could have been developed further, as it felt like both Minha and Rydan were very surface level.
The ending was well worded, if not fast paced. The last big battle happens over the course of 10-15 pages, which I feel could have easily been drawn out further.

Minah is a wolf-shifter who has always been an outsider within her own pack. When she's offered as a sacrifice to the Rogue King, her life takes an unexpected turn.
I thought the plot was interesting, and the tension and banter between Minah and Ryden were good.
However, the story felt underdeveloped, with a lot of telling and little showing. Additionally, there were numerous grammatical errors, suggesting that the book hadn't undergone thorough editing.
Minah and Rhyden are, for the most part, compelling characters, however, I found their actions sometimes contradictory and out of character for them.
