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!

This was another action packed book in the Alpha Territories shared world. Diana and Raven, along with their crew mates and Maverick are looking for Jade and the shard.

Like with most of Shannon Mayer’s books, pure chaos ensues with every page. Epic battles, spicy scenes, magic, heartbreak and so much more with every turn of a page. I can’t wait to see how Diana and Raven’s story continues. I need more answers for all the questions and prophecies!

Non stop!! 🙌

I Love Shannon’s stories! Great continuation- Fast paced & gripping with excellent world building and fabulous characters ❤️ I’m so hopeful these get made into movies or series someday!

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.

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."
