AUTHOR K. M. SHEA
THE KING'S CAPTIVE (BOOK 1)
I can turn into a housecat.
It’s a fun magic, except in a world filled with vampires and werewolves, it doesn’t exactly make me a powerhouse. Instead, the supernatural community has classified me as an outcast, which means one thing: picking on me is open season all day, every day.
The local fae are the worst of all, and it’s during one of their regular “capture the cat-girl” sessions that I shift into my cat form and meet HIM for the first time.
Noctus is so powerful his magic radiates off him like a sun, and my fae captors can barely look in his general direction. And then my life gets even more terrifying when Noctus decides to take me with him. As a pet.
Why did he pick today to “adopt don’t shop” a cat?
It gets worse when I realize he’s an elf, a ruling race of supernaturals that was supposedly killed off centuries ago.
But he’s not just any elf, no. He’s an elven king, with heaps of secrets to protect. Secrets that I am quickly learning since he includes his new pet in everything from breaking into buildings to inspect classified paperwork to tracking down sketchy supernaturals.
All this means if he gets even a hint that I’m not a real cat, I’m going to find out firsthand how elves treat their prisoners.
So, escaping Noctus is priority #1. How hard can it be? (Answer: very.)
Why this book may be a good choice for you and/or your family...
The King’s Captive by K. M. Shea is a clean fantasy romance that blends adventure, danger, and light romantic tension. The story focuses on character growth, loyalty, and political intrigue, making it a solid pick for readers who enjoy romance that stays sweet rather than steamy. The romantic elements lean toward emotional connection and mutual respect, without explicit sexual scenes. The plot includes thrilling action and fantasy battles, but these are generally portrayed with restraint rather than graphic violence, which many families may appreciate. Some parents may have concerns about mild romantic tension, occasional peril, or light violence tied to the fantasy setting. There’s no explicit sexual content or profanity, but the story does explore moments of danger and conflict that could be intense for more sensitive readers. Overall, it’s a generally clean and family-friendly series, though parents who prefer to avoid any romantic themes or scenes of conflict may wish to review it first.

THE TRACKER'S MATE (BOOK 1)
He has a secret, but when mine is exposed… his will look like child’s play.
Two years ago, a hot werewolf stole my heart. It was bliss until he disappeared like a shadow in the night.
I picked up the shattered pieces of my soul and opened an agency to use my tracker skills and help others find the love of their lives. Oh, the irony!
Then Jake Knight returns, determined to drag me into a life of danger.
A war is brewing between St. Louis’s vampire and werewolf factions. A prominent alpha has been kidnapped and Jake needs me to track him before it’s too late.
Refusing him is easier said than done. It turns out Jake is my fated mate, and it’s impossible to deny him.
More than that, he has a secret, and it’s the reason he left me.
Finding out his reasons is enough to tempt me to risk my life and change my peaceful world forever.
Why this book may be a good choice for you and/or your family...
The Tracker's Mate can be a great pick for readers who enjoy paranormal fantasy with elements of adventure, suspense, and slow burn romance. The story offers imaginative world-building, supernatural intrigue, and strong characters facing danger and choices that test their courage. Any romantic content is light and slow burn, with no explicit detail, while violence is minimal, fantasy-style, and non-graphic. Swearing is mild and infrequent, and sexual content is implied rather than shown. Families or readers looking for an adventurous, suspenseful story with touches of romance and fantasy danger will likely find this book approachable and entertaining. However, Paranormal Mate Tracker may not suit everyone. Readers or families who prefer stories without danger, peril, or romance may find the supernatural threats, moments of suspense, and romantic tension unsettling. Violence, while not graphic, may include creature battles, chases, and instances of peril that could be too intense for those sensitive to conflict. The slow burn romance may feel distracting for readers who avoid romantic subplots, and the mild swearing or darker undertones of supernatural struggles could concern those seeking completely clean stories. Overall, the content is moderate, so whether it is a good fit depends on each family’s comfort level with fantasy peril, romance, and light mature themes.

AUTHOR EVA TRUESDALE
DESCENDANT (BOOK 1)
Alexandra is having a hard enough time being human, dealing with the unexpected death of her father and a family that’s slowly unraveling in the wake of that death.
So she really, really didn’t need a werewolf attempting to kill her on top of everything else.
But life just sucks sometimes, apparently. Because that’s what happens: a vicious werewolf attack leaves Alex infected, confused, and suddenly surrounded by strangers who all claim they want to help her. Now, all she has to do is decide who to trust. Which would be a lot easier if one of those people trying to earn her trust wasn’t Kael, a boy who manages to be arrogant, infuriating, and entirely-too-hot-for-his-own-good, all at once--and who also might know more about herself than she does. Although, it turns out, that isn’t saying much.
Because her whole life has been a lie.
But now the dangerous truth is surfacing, and Alex suddenly finds herself a would-be pawn in the center of an ancient war between wolves and monsters. A war that will force her to make an impossible choice, thanks to the magic tied to her bloodline. Magic that could protect the entire human world...
...Or leave it to the mercy of the monsters.
