Book Review: To Save a Mate (Redwood University Book 2) by Poppy Ireland

 Blurb: 

Welcome back to Redwood University, where a power-hungry shifter wants to rule them all; and those strong enough to stand up to him must fight.

I tried to flee Redwood University, but when my father was kidnapped by a ruthless alpha, I was forced to submit. With a broken heart and wounded pride, I reluctantly followed his demands–if only to keep my father alive.

There's danger lurking around every corner, and since Alexei crushed my heart in his fist, I sought an alliance with the vampires, fae, and witches instead.

Alexei is furious, jealous, and possessive. But despite everything, I still ache for him.

But the future alpha made his choice. No matter what he says, I can't wait for a mate that won't stand by my side. I just wish my heart would get with the program.

Because there's an unknown power simmering in my veins, and a mystery I'm on the verge of cracking. I don't know what the future holds, but I do know that Alpha Jones will do anything to gain more control, and that's one thing I can never allow to happen.

So, if Alexei won't save me from his father, then I'lll save myself.


*To Save a Mate is the second book in the Redwood University Trilogy. It cannot be read 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 continuation of this exciting paranormal story.

My Review - 4 1/2 of 5 stars - 

4 1/2 stars. This was hard to put down. It was the second in a trilogy involving Nicole, Alexei, and all the supporting friends, so it did not end here. I felt Nicole's heartache when Alexei was doing what he thought he had to in order to give them time to figure everything out. There were tears at times, smiles, and a lot of warmth with the help from family and friends. Surprises were around the corners, new people were met, and a better future was the goal. I can't wait to read the third installment.

I received a copy of this story through The Hatters Services, and this is my unsolicited review.
