The Alpha Shifter Collection #10
Alpha Beast
The eldest son of a warring mafia pack, Liam Wolf must secure peace by marrying the enemy’s only daughter, Jenny Luca. With long white hair and gray eyes, she cannot turn into a wolf. She talks to herself, and strange things happen around her. To many, she is a source of ridicule, but after one look, one scent, Liam is hooked.
Jenny has always known she was different. Like her mother and grandmother, she inherited the ability to see the dead. They come to her or just wander around. Many fear her gift, so she tries to hide it. Liam is not afraid, but enchanted. Their packs have judged her harshly, and nothing will stop him from claiming her as his wife.
When one of his warehouses is burned down, it’s up to Liam to find out what went wrong, especially when Jenny discovers the spirits—and a monster who intends harm. Can Liam save her in time, or will she fall prey to the curse in her family?

She loved creating new characters and delving into the worlds that she creates. When she’s not panicking about a story or arguing with a character, she can be found in her kitchen creating all kinds of havoc. Like her stories the creations in the kitchen can be just as dubious but sometimes things turn out great.

Out of all the books in this series, I think this will become a favorite! Age gap, mafia and shifters, yum! Liam has to marry Jenny for the sake of bringing their families together. I think he's in "lust" with her at first but the longer they are together, the more his real feelings take over. Jenny has always been the "weird" one in her family. She can see and talk to the dead. This didn't seem to bother Liam at all like it did others. I like the Jenny had a backbone and when Liam had left for a few days to take care of business, she called him on not getting in touch with her the whole time! There were some twists in this book that I didn't see coming and it shocked me when the truth came out about the little girl. You'll know what I mean when you get to that part. Another thing that shocked me was when Liam did what he did towards the end to save Jenny!! WOW! And I was sort of iffy about Ben but now I would really like to see his story! This book was very well written and I enjoyed it so much!

It's been years after the last installment of the alpha shifter collection. Just like its prequels, this one revolved shifters and paranormal beings within fated mate universe, though there's possibility for shifters to deny their fate and mated with another. The story was about an arranged marriage between two powerful shifter-mafia family. After the initial powerful attraction after one meeting, both MCs unravel their destiny and curse bestow upon them.
The story was classic Sam Crescent; safe-ish and took its pace in terms of bonding, with everybit of possessiveness and alphaness of the H. It was sweet and interesting with the mix of other paranormal beings.
Virgin h
No condoms
Bit drama with h's family and her ability
No cheating, No OW/OM, No exes
Dual PoV
HEA, Epilogue
Overall score: 3.5 shifter romance stars

I loved this one. I haven’t read a shifter story in a long time. And this one was a bit different, but I liked it.
Liam Wolf is the eldest in his pack and his parents has just arranged a mating for him with one of their enemies daughter. And on top of it she was known as the weirdo. Why? Because she’s always talking to herself… But the moment he meets Jenny he wanted her, he was infatuated with her. And he wanted to spend all his time with her.
Jenny knew she wasn’t a catch, she knew she was different. How? She could talk to the dead. Which made her the weirdo of the pack. So she didn’t’ understand why Liam wanted to spend time with her. And the more time he spent with her the more she felt like she could be herself around him. He didn’t care that she could speak to her dead grandmother or the people that her family killed. But she had a secret, a secret she knew she had to tell him before they got married. She just hoped that he would still want her after he heard what her family was hiding.
This one was filled with some suspense and family drama that I got hooked on from the start to the end. I loved Liam. I loved that he didn’t care about her being the town ‘weirdo’ and that he took the time to get to know her, no matter how many times she told him he could do better. I love these Alpha Shifter stories and I can’t wait for the next one 😊 ♥

Pretty safe for a Sam crescent book. Hero was a manwhore (but thankfully nothing on page) but that stops when he meets the heroine and she’s his fated mate. Heroine is abused and overlooked because she has an ability others fear. Her father has kept her hidden away because of it. Loved that the hero saw her gift as something to treasure and not revile or fear.
Safe-ish. Manwhore hero, faithful to h after meeting her. Sweet virgin heroine, belongs only to the hero. No others, no cheating or abuse. HEA with epilogue

okay so this was surprisingly safe for a sam creasing book. probably her best book so far, however just because it’s her best book doesn’t mean it’s the greatest thing ever. I had a lot of problems with it (typical) but again, pretty good for a sam creasent book.
I did not like the hero (compared to her other books he was a angle tho) i don’t like when it’s a soulmates book and they slept with other ppl knowing they had a soulmate out there. I don’t get it. I don’t like how he belittled the thought of soulmates and saying stuff like “why wait” the heroine was again way to much of a pushover and for some reason infatuated with the hero. To much side character drama, to much unnecessary description, it was basically boring and took away from the main couple. Also, it really felt like the hero just wanted sex from the heroine, no fluff, not really, not great romance just fast sex. pretty sad.
virgin heroine, fuck boy hero (idk if Sam has a thing for fuck boys but it gets old)
soulmates
slow insta
shifter (wolf)
no ow/om drama
no protection
i think she’s a curvy gal
age gap (18 years)
dnf
disappointed
no chemistry
to much side char drama
drama
angst
safe-ish?
spicy lvl 3/5

Liam Wolf is being told to marry the “weirdo.” He knows all about Jenny. But she isn’t a weird person. She has a gift which she sees as a curse. Being able to see and talk with the dead makes her an outcast. But Liam see more in her and wants her. He isn’t about to let anyone take her from him. I love that Liam is so open minded. He see the sight as a gift and Jenny thinks of it as a curse. Her “curse” helps him when one of the Wolf businesses is burned down. It was a bit shocking to find out about her brother and what secrets he held and also sad too. You also have Liam’s family still not believing still Ben. Sometimes it takes a leap of faith and just an open mind to realize we are all different.

couldn’t put it down
Amazing charters and story telling. Jenny was cursed from her family line she see ghosts. Bowing she can’t turn to wolf but always felt her. Liam was the next to take his father place. He was know the alpha beast . He wants the true mate bond and was announced to married his family opposite. That one look at Jenny he knew he found his mates. Once married he did everything he could to protect his wife finding out a burning’s building that could threaten his wife life. The romance was hot and spicy I give this book 5/5

Good story, explicit sex
Very enjoyable and a different storyline. One star for too much explicit sex, not contributing to the story line most of the time. This might encourage more readers so have at it. Just a short story that could have been built on, but characters are well written written and action centers on the newness of our people and establishing guidelines for Jenny's gift.
A fun read with loads of descriptive romance times.

Who you see!
Loved this story, very unique and different. Both characters are determined and strong. Nothing better than a great wolf shape shifted tale. Sam Crescent never disappoint!

Great 😊 Story
I liked the characters especially the heroine, Jenny. Innocent heroine who sees dead people + sexy alpha beast+ babies makes for an awesome story base. The only drawback was the sad passing of her brother and his young daughter.

Este me gustó bastante. Mafias + lobos + fantasmas, es una gran combinación. No soy tan fan de los fantasmas o de las personas con el don de verlos, pero tampoco me molesta leer una prota con poderes sobrenaturales, que además es una loba. Lo cierto es que estuvo muy entretenido y Liam era un amor.

Surprised..
I actually really enjoyed reading this story..its about Jenny being literally shunned by everyone around her bc she is different and all it took was one person to not be afraid of her to change the views of others!!! Loved it and will read it again..

This is book 10 of the series and I can't wait to read the next.The feelings and perspectives, heck, their personalities even are interesting and relatable it's like I can see it happening as I read the words. The steamy scenes are a plus, too.

Siempre he tenido un don ver y poder hablar con la gente muerta. Algunos de mis antepasados también lo tuvieron, pero también es una maldición .
Me han repudiado tantas veces y llamado tantas cosas que cuando me comprometen con el hijo del alfa de la manada enemiga, es raro. Pero un raro bueno

Very tame and sweet compared to the other books. Not enough "beast" but also it's not dark alpha story.

This was a pretty good fast read. The storyline came together quickly and kept you guessing. I enjoyed the main characters and their connection.
