“Hunter’s Fated Wait” by W.A. Edwards - Book Review
W.A. Edwards’ “Hunter’s Fated Wait” is a shifter tale with a slow-building romance.
W.A. Edwards’ “Hunter’s Fated Wait” is set a few decades into a dystopian future, when a virus has caused the death of half of humanity.
Hunter assumes the role of Alpha of Pine Lodge Pack when Mark, the previous leader, runs off. He faces many challenges since Mark was a negligent leader who didn’t give his pack the attention and leadership they needed.
When Hunter and Ali meet, he knows in an instant that they are fated to be together. She cannot do this yet because she is not yet twenty years old, the age when female werewolves gain the ability to recognize their mates.
The Pine Lodge Pack is where Ali and Hunter will find out their destiny. Through their point of view, the reader gains insight into Hunter’s and Ali’s thoughts and the dynamics of the shapeshifter pack.
The story presents Hunter as a caring leader who strives to improve the lives of his people, while Ali is depicted as a fierce female shifter. Even though Edwards didn’t idealize them, I would have liked more character development.
On the whole, the paranormal romance is a heartwarming story that enthralls the reader.
