Fated by Starlight Summary

Passion, duty, and fate collide in this enthralling paranormal shifter romance series by USA TODAY bestselling author Krista Street.

Avery
You’d think a half-witch, quarter-werewolf would be a magical powerhouse, right? Wrong. I’m so nothing special. I’m on the express track to a low-magic ambassador job, right after I complete three months of mandatory Supernatural Forces training.

I never expected my biggest stumbling block to be my new squad commander, Wyatt Jamison. He’s everything I’m not—a pure blooded werewolf rippling with magic.

Did I mention he’s also my former teenage crush who still makes my mouth water?

Wyatt
Three months. I just have to get through three months of resisting Avery’s enticing lilac-and-rainwater scent. Then she’ll be shipped off to Geneva and I can get to work forgetting her inquisitive eyes, infectious laugh, and tantalizing curves. It almost kills me to keep her at arm’s length, but duty demands it.

All of that changes, though, when a rare celestial event erupts strange, new power from Avery—a power that’s determined to destroy her. Tasked with unlocking its secrets, I have no choice but to keep her close as I struggle to find her new magic’s origins.

Because if I don’t? Avery’s dreams and future will be lost before they’ve begun.

This is the first book I’ve ever read by Krista Street and I’ll definitely be reading the rest of the books in this series, which are fortunately in Kindle Unlimited. In this first book of the series, we’re introduced to Avery, who is attending the SF (Supernatural Forces) Headquarters as a new, but temporary, recruit.

On her first day, she meets Wyatt, a werewolf who is the Commander in charge of training the new recruits. She knows Wyatt from several years in high school where she had a huge crush on him. What she doesn’t know is that Wyatt also remembers her and his wolf remembers her as he sits up and takes notice of her. However, as her supervisor, Wyatt is forbidden to pursue a romance with her.

Avery has very little magical powers and is planning to go to the Supernatural Ambassador Institute after the 3 month long training course (think boot camp) at the SF Headquarters. As an ambassador, she is not required to have magic or muscular brawn. However, she is expected to be able to defend herself enough in an attack to allow her to run away.

Follow Avery’s adventures that takes you through her first months at the SF, along with her fellow squad mates. Will Wyatt find romance with her? Will she find enough magic to allow her to pass the training?

This is a series that ends on a perilous night for Avery and requires you to read the next books to continue her story. Normally, I tend to shy away from books that end on a cliffhanger, but this book is so good that I’m anxiously awaiting finishing this review so I can start the next book!

**WARNING! Cliffhanger**
Not that you should need the warning, the author thoughtfully warns you at the beginning of the book… a fact of which I am very appreciative!

Avery is half witch, and a quarter wolf shifter, a fact which makes her a weak supernatural, but perfect for the job as a supernatural ambassador. That is providing she can pass her three month training at the SPF.
It’s unfortunate that Wyatt is the one in charge of her training… she had a huge crush on him as a teenager, and it seems it hasn’t really dissipated. And while he seems interested, their relationship is forbidden…

This is a rejected mates romance, which means there is angst, and a lot of it. And it’s angst which doesn’t get resolved, because it’s only the first book in a series!
That’s ok though, because the character and world building is good, making for a rather engaging storyline, although the big event occurs at the end of the story.
It’s a good start though, and an interesting storyline, with a lot of intriguing characters I look forward to seeing more of.

An enjoyable story that urban fantasy fans and (slow burn) paranormal romance fans will enjoy.
