Hidden Promise

ARC Shifters, Book 9

By: Julie Trettel

Narrated by: Joe Hempel, Carly Robins

Sadie was just an average teenager, or so she thought.

The night of her senior prom everything changes leaving her beautiful dress in rags strewn across her front lawn while she cowers under the porch terrified and covered in fur. As a halfbreed human/wolf shifter, the Pack Alpha put a gag order in place on the night of her birth. If she never got a wolf, she would live her life oblivious of her father's heritage. But if her wolf surfaced, only then would she be told of their world.

Lies, betrayal, and fear plague her as she discovers a reality she never dreamed could exist. And when she doesn't immediately fall into place in the Pack, she's shipped off the Archibald Reynolds College.

Pete has secrets of his own. Things he can't bring himself to talk to his fraternity brothers at the doghouse about. Now he's stuck in summer classes finishing up the remainder of his degree with no plans for the future.

He's all alone in the world. That is, until he catches a whiff of the pretty new girl with an enormous chip on her shoulder and he knows she's his one true mate. The problem is, she has no idea what that even means.

Contains mature themes.

Another great story

I love stories where the human finds out they are shifters. Add in the good "bad boy" mate and all the mating angst and you have a great story.

The narration team of Carly Robbins and Joe Hemphill is unbeatable in the way they bring the characters to life off the page.

No story is perfect and parts did feel rushed to me, but overall I love these characters and hearing what's going on at the ARC.

ps I miss Chad...

amazing as always

love it good story with the series
it was shorter but still wonderful as always
I absolutely love the performance of both narrators.

Amazing!

I would recommend this series and the connecting series to anyone whom loves to read!

Redundant

Just like the previous books. Girl has a guy best friend yada yada. Does every guy call their mate sweetheart? The intimate scenes are too much.. The language is crass and pornographic. For example, “ she sucked me off”. I’m not a prude but the earlier book’s sex scenes were more tastefully written. Last thing, I thought there were more interesting characters from previous books, to develop rather than introducing new ones like Sadie and Pete.

Missed opportunity

Two good story lines, but we've seen the story online before both in the ARC and in Westen Pack. Struggling to belong to a pack. Hers was kinda new but just got blown off. Not to mention, there wasno resolution in the end.
