Wow, I really didn't expect to like this book that much. I had recently read Gone Girl, which this isn't that similar other than it features twisted, damaged people, but was looking for something that felt close to the same. I was almost sorry that I decided to pick this up as I literally could not put it down and ended up staying up past my bedtime yesterday.

Rachel, the narrator, is an alcoholic mess who had just reached my OMG-just-quit-whinging-already! threshold when the author wisely moved the story forward. She still had her pathetic moments but I empathized with her and hoped she'd stop drinking and get help. The book was paced well and had just enough of the other two points of view from Megan and Anna as not to feel like an intrusion. I wasn't surprised by the whodunnit aspect since I had long suspected that character, but kudos to the author for keeping me on my toes with the other possibilties. I really enjoyed reading about the characters, situations and would be interested in Paula Hawkins' next book.

I do not consider myself an expert on werewolf and vampire lore, but I do find them highly fascinating. Matefinder is a quick read, with an interesting story and unique characters.

I have had this book sitting on my nightstand for almost a year, waiting for me to pick it up. I am so glad I finally did. Kai and Aurora's story kept my eyes glued to the page till I finished it well past my bedtime last night.

Aurora is a strong female lead and she carries a powerful gift with her. She has overcome so much, survived so much. Discovering who she is and the strength and power she carries is an incredible thing to witness. Passionate (clean) kisses, intense fight scenes, tenderness, and a family/pack bond that is thicker than blood. If you enjoy books with vampires and werewolves, I recommend Matefinder to you.

**I would consider the rating to be PG-13.**

I received a complimentary copy of Matefinder from the author as part of a giveaway that I won. I was not required to write a review. All opinions expressed are mine alone.
