To Reject a Mate

Redwood University, Book 1

By: Poppy Ireland

Narrated by: Michael Pierce, Heather Costa

Welcome to Redwood University, where the creatures that go bump in the night really do exist…and they’re hiding in plain sight.

Attending a small college in the middle of nowhere was never my plan, but when I was offered free tuition and the promise of an excellent education, that plan changed.

It would’ve been nice to know I would be one of the only humans on campus.

It’d be even better if a certain bossy shifter didn’t claim me as his fated mate.

Alexei is arrogant, acrimonious, and the worst A-word of them all: an alpha.

But I can’t deny the way my body responds to him. No matter how many warning flags are waving around in my head, we gravitate toward one another. It’s primal. Passionate. Painful.

Because regardless of what the fates think, or the supposed destiny we share…Alexei and I could never be.

So, if Alexei won’t reject our bond, I’ll have to do it for him.

To Reject a Mate is the first book in the Redwood University Trilogy. It cannot be listened to as a standalone and ends in a cliffhanger. If possessive heroes, who occasionally turn into wolves, and sassy, headstrong heroines are your jam, you’ve come to the right place. So sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride into this exciting new paranormal world.

Great Story

I’ve been looking for a good paranormal shifter book. One that has depth and good character building. Finally found one. So hard to find a good story line. PSA- Hey Authors: All we want is romance, some hot and heavy, and a world as detailed as Harry Potter or LOTR. Gotta feel like we’re a fly on the wall.

Unexpectedly good!

Pleasantly surprised about how good this story was! The FMC was smart and strong without being whiny and impulsive. Diving right into the next book!

Just ok.

I really liked the story overall but I hated the male lead so much, the voice actor, and the character were both equally horrible. I got 2/3 through the story and just could not keep going. He was more and more infuriating with each passage.

It’s good!

I really liked it. It took a while to reel me in just because the lead character was really hard to relate to in the beginning. She just seemed really childish regardless of the fact that the people around her constantly talked about her maturity. I can’t really explain it, but eventually she grew on me. On to book number two!

Love this book

It starts off slowly, but picks up quickly. By the end of the book your on the edge of your seat.
