Pride Mates is about the struggle of a not so ordinary set of shapeshifter in a society that fears and condemn them.

Living in a brutal system away from the public eye, the shifters were thought to be shackled but there are also those who refused to be shackled which are called feral shifters. When a feral identified Liam as a betrayer, Kim's life is in danger and so she have no choice but plunge inside the conflict of the shifter world. 
 Its a short reading but I love the world building of this book despite being a paranormal romance. As a standalone it might not even make sense but I do enjoy the relationship between the characters and the surrounding. The undertone of this book is a mystery novel so that is what's likable about this book. I might read a couple more from this since despite the usual cliched, I do like the world-building especially with the story of how shifters being an outcast and oppressed in a society that was similar with us. It might not up to the taste of some folks but it is okay for a light reading.
