Forbidden Mate (The Shadow Chronicles Book 2) by CR Robertson – Review by Tara Johnson Barnes

Forbidden Mate by C.R. Robertson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Forbidden Mate by CR Robertson picks up where Forbidden Wolf (The Shadow Chronicles Book 1) left off. In Book 1, Forbidden Wolf, CR Robertson introduces the characters of Levi, a Lycan, and Tasha, a Vampire. Levi and Tasha have fallen deeply in love although they were never meant to be mates. The Lycans and the Vampires have been sworn enemies for centuries and were ordered to kill one another on sight but are now fighting side by side to end the Lycan-vampire war. The vampires and Lycans have formed a tentative alliance to fight a much bigger enemy, the Hellspawn.

As the war against the Hellspawn rages on Levi And Tasha are thrown into a dark world of secrets and lies that threatens to destroy everything they have ever known. It is a race against time as Levi and Tasha try to solve the mystery behind the genetics of both the Lycans and Vampires. As strong as their love is for one another it might not be enough to survive the bigger enemy and overcome the dark secrets behind their genetic makeup.

I instantly fell in love with the characters of both Levi and Tasha when I first met them in Book 1, Forbidden Wolf, and was completely drawn into their world. Book 2, Forbidden Mate, continues their journey and builds more on the characters and their lives. There was never a dull moment throughout the entire book, and it is action-packed throughout. Forbidden Mate kept me turning the pages and I found myself rooting for Levi and Tasha and hoping that their love would persevere through all the trials and tribulations they were continuously put through. My heart skipped a beat when the evil Castus popped back into their lives and tried to come between Tasha and Levi. I cringed when the Master Hellspawn is almost able to lure Tasha to him. I waited with bated breath in the hopes that Levi could save his one true love. CR Robertson does a great job building suspense and keeping the reader intrigued. I highly recommend this book!
