As far as stories go, Matefinder wasn't a bad one. In fact, it was uniquely interesting and well thought out, but it was very poorly written.Not in the typical fashion you see in some electronic books out there with the grammatical errors and elementary concepts, but rather in the lack of substance, transition, and flow over all. As a surface, shallow attempt at storytelling, Matefinder would get five stars, but for a GOOD READ? It falls far short.

This read had a good mix of paranormal beings and a lot of potential but there were several aspects that kept me from really liking it. here they are:* insta-love * no sex or romance in my opinion-they meet, know they are mates, say they love each other and that's it. No depth or chemistry* the heroine was portrayed as too much of a badass - she was changed which hardly ever happens,she turns out to be the most powerful with ever, she's a matefinder, she discovers a new gift every few chapters.....

The idea of the book I loved. The Matefinder is such an interesting take on a PNR. Unfortunately, other areas of the read were just not very strong.Kai (MC) was weak in my opinion. Not very dominate. Got beat up pretty regularly. I mean he won his battles but got is arse whopped in the process. Seemed as if he would rather run from instead of running to a conflict. Kinda blah to me.Aurora (FMC) has an interesting lineage which I got excited about. However, as powers became unlocked she just poof...

So, sometimes there is a reason a book is free. Good lord. What I read of that, was BAD.

1.5 / 5 starsI picked this up on a whim after seeing it in the kindle unlimited section, and I was a little hesitant. From the blurb, there was a risk that this would run incredibly cliche. Unsurprisingly, this was cliche from the very beginning, and only got worse from there. College student Aurora (which is the first major cliche part, the names just give me flashbacks to my wattpad days where all the female characters were 'Aurora' and the guys 'Ryder') drives her car off a mountain while tr...

Before I begin this review, let me start with the fact that this book was sooo terribly written that I specifically CREATED A PROFILE ON GOODREADS JUST TO LEAVE A REVIEW. It was that bad. Also, there are spoilers.First off, it is way, way, WAY too fast paced. I mean, the MC just accepts everything. There is absolutely no conflict when her entire world is completely flipped upside down and she ALMOST DIES. She is just like, "Werewolves? Ok. Witches? Ok. Vampires? Ok. This dude mauled me and now I...

Very good story, but I wanted some passion!I really like the overall premise of the book, the characters are well developed and the world building is terrific. The only thing missing was more passion between the two main characters and I would like a few steamy scenes as well. I think this is the first clean shifter/werewolf book that I have read. The book is definitely a romance and there is chemistry between the two main characters (Kai and Aurora) but the most they do is kiss.I looked up the

No real development of characters. No in depth description and sometimes difficult to keep up because of these things. Very fast paced. The story line was interesting but it could have been written so much better. I believe it would have been better if Stone actually took the time to have developed the story and characters better. Instead she just smacks you with the plot one after another.

Wow wow wow.This book was amazing, I loved it. I started it last night about quarter to 8pm and got more than 85% through before I needed to go to bed. This morning I woke up and finished the book. I was hooked by page one. It starts off with Aurora having a bad accident and Kai changing her into a werewolf. Each changed werewolf has a gift and they won't know what her's is until her first shift. Also werewolves mate for life, and in this book, the werewolf pairs are the opposite looking wolf in...

This book has so much potential but it was so badly portrayed it annoys me. The plot is so cool but it was rushed. Aurora the main character reminds me of this nursery rhyme.🎵Solomon Grundy,Born on a Monday,Christened on Tuesday,Married on Wednesday,Took ill on Thursday,🎵Spoilers aheadAurora had an accident on Monday,Was turned into a werewolf on Monday,Became Beta on Tuesday,Found her soul mate on Tuesday,Discovered she has a rare power on Tuesday,Discovered she was also a witch on Tuesday,Was

There’s a lot of really terrible reviews for this book so I truly was expecting the worse when I started reading it. Turns out, I actually thoroughly enjoyed it! It was a quick, fun read and I’m always a fan of anything that combines witches, werewolves AND vampires! Some parts of the werewolf customs were a tad bit cheesy but aside from that I thought this was a great read.

As other reviewers have said the pacing of this book was weird. Aurora (whose name I just had to look for because I had forgotten even though I finished this book about ten minutes ago) was too perfect. She was the most rarest luckiest person ever, got saved from death, turns out to be the second in command to a wolf pack, readily accepts wolves, witches and vampires not to mention her powers were so convenient . She was making allies left right and center and somehow knew how the hierarchy in t...

You think you know and hate insta-love?Read THIS book and insta-love will mean something TOTALLY DIFFERENT.Shame because I am a fan of Leia Stone but this book fell EXTREMELY flat for me. Fated mates are fine, but this one takes the 'mates' tooooooo far. Made a very boring and predictable romance.DNF @ about chapter 7.

“Tragic past, check.Inhumanly beautiful, check.Special snowflake syndrome, check.Coveted by most people, check.Savior of every single problem in the book, check.Perfect balance of kind but courageous badass, check.Talented, check.Cool and completely suave in any situation, check. Chosen one, check.” The doctor looks up from his clip board to the book lying in the bed before him. His eyes are full of sympathy as he says, “Matefinder, I am so sorry to bring you bad news, but you have a terrible ca...

*2 or 1 or why bother rating*DID NOT FINISH...for the following reasons:1. The instalove was terrible...even the wolves mate for life thing wasn't appealing enough to make me like the romance.2. I like a kickass powerful heroine who is jaded any day...but this was nuts. She had an abusive father....she survives the “change” and becomes a werewolf and that too a super dominant one and gets promoted to beta wolf and she is super special(apparently a one only matefinder). She has 2 unique gifts. Sh...

*****3.5 stars*****I will admit, there is a big part of me that loves the idea of destined 'mates', and stories that are built around the idea of souls connecting the instant they meet have always been a guilty pleasure read for me. So I was excited to dive into a werewolf story entirely built upon the concept, and Leia Stone has created an intriguing world with her supernatural beings and their newly found matefinder. Aurora has been turned at her death bed, alpha Kai seeing her bleeding out an...

Enjoyed this so much that I almost finished it in a day! Matefinder is a fast paced/never boring werewolf paranormal romance. I found the main character Aurora refreshing. -Smart/brave/upfront with her feelings. Not whiny!!! -Love that she didn’t loose her mind and jump into everything with the love interest right away.Kai is swoonworthy. His Indian heritage added a lot of interest to his character. I also enjoyed the secondary characters and world building. –Can’t wait for the next book!!! Glad...

Obviously I think it's fab! =)

Loved it. I've put a fair few books down recently but not this one. An awesome read!
