Reviews and Other Information: "Kari Thomas is making her mark in paranormal, writing a shapeshifter story that touches your heart and soul. With HUNTED MATE she has created a love story between two honor-bound characters, Logan and Tara, leaving the reader cursing the unfairness and rooting for a solution. After reading this page-turner, I'll be looking for future works from this talented author." Patricia Rasey, Author of KISS OF DECEIT and FACADE "Hunted Mate by Kari Thomas is a sensual, exciting, paranormal romance which tests the boundaries of loyalty, trust, honor, different shifter species, and the love of a woman and a half man, half beast. Travel an exciting path and be swept away in a world beyond our own." Angela Verdenius, Author of SOUL OF A PREDATOR "This is an interesting story full of both wolf and cat shifters. I was totally on Tara's side from the beginning. Who would want to go from a life of independence and luxury to become the Queen of a guy who turns into a wolf and lives in a cave? Logan, in true cat style, is pretty sneaky and determined to get his own way. He tries to ignore the chemistry between them to pay his debt to a man he respects, but Tara is just too much for him. I really enjoyed this story. The characters are very vivid and the settings are so well described that the reader will have no problem picturing them." Coffee Time Romance "In Hunted Mate, Thomas spins a unique shapeshifter mythology filled with sexiness and suspense. I hope there's more to come!" Author Caridad Scordato Pineiro "Hunted Mate is filled with surprising twists, turns and reversals that could have had the reader tossing the book into the corner, but Ms. Thomas makes each one believable while still inserting humor in what could have become a very dark story. A delightful book to curl up with and enjoy at the beach, or on a rainy afternoon." Simply Romance Reviews "From the very first page, Ms. Thomas's book grabbed my attention. Packed full of excitement and sexual tension, it'll have you on the edge of your seat, turning each page to see what happens next. She's created a spectacular world of shifters, weaving their lives right into the midst of normal humans. But be forewarned, you might just lose your own heart to the dashing cat prince, Logan, a commanding man who's not only gallant in his duty, but show's how willing he is to test even the Fates themselves for the chance of true love." Author Shannon Leigh
