What to expect
Serena Paris is orphaned, pack-less, and one of a kind. Coming forward as the first Human-Were hybrid was supposed to heal a centuries-long rift between species. Instead, it made her a target, prey to the ruthless political machinations between Weres, Vampyres, and Humans. With her enemies closing in on her, she has only one option left - if he'll have her.
As Alpha of the Northwest pack, Koen Alexander commands obedience. His authority is so absolute, only a fool would threaten his mate. It doesn't matter if Serena doesn't reciprocate his feelings, nothing will stop him from keeping her safe.
But power-hungry Vampyres and Weres are not the only threats chasing Serena. Sooner or later, her past is bound to catch up with her - and Koen might be the only thing standing between her and total annihilation...
*Ali Hazelwood's Mate was a Sunday Times bestseller w/e 11 and 18 October 2025.
Readers are going feral for Mate:
'Mate had me flipping through pages faster than my eyes could actually read them. A perfect sequel to Bride!' Real Reader Review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
'The slow burn. The tension. The yearning. The longing. I'm here for it all, every single bit of it. Ali Hazelwood has done it again.' Real Reader Review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
'Guys, I've lost my entire mind... I devoured this in one sitting. Like blinked, and boom-book hangover. Ali Hazelwood just gets it...the banter, the tension and chemistry? Off. The. Charts. I'm talking feral-level kicking, giggling, and blushing...If you loved Bride and needed more Hazelwood-level chemistry with an even stronger "found family + feral mate bond" energy, this is it.' Real Reader Review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
'Ali Hazelwood truly delivers. The writing is sublime...The story is stunning, and the plot kept distracting me from working or doing anything other than reading this book. At the end, I was sad it was over, which is always the mark of a five-star book (for me, at least). Phenomenal, phenomenal, phenomenal!!' Real Reader Review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
'I LOVED Mate...the primitive instinct that [Ali] captured...forbidden, longing, and the banter was top notch! So good. Highly recommend.' Real Reader Review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
'I didn't think Bride could be topped but boy was I wrong. This book is amazing from start to finish. The banter between the two MCs is perfection. The witty comebacks and remarks are so enjoyable and funny to read. The sexual tension between these two was coming off the pages in waves. I absolutely devoured this book. I also love the relationship between Serena and Misery.' Real Reader Review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
