About this listen
Something wicked is headed for Tarker's Hollow...
Ainsley Connor is adjusting to pack life in Tarker's Hollow. With her mate by her side, she feels unbeatable. But warnings of dark magic and signs of a rival wolf make it clear that Ainsley will need all the help she can get.
Julian Magie is the warlock that betrayed Ainsley and broke her heart. He also happens to be the only man with the knowledge she needs to master the magic inside her - if she can learn to trust him again.
Filled with mystery and magic, Fate of the Alpha picks up six weeks after the events of Curse of the Alpha. It is a stand-alone saga, told in three parts. Episodes One and Two have some serious cliffhangers! So if that's not your thing, consider yourself warned!

Story
As a wolf shifter growing up in a strong pack, I should be living my best life. But after my father tried to kill our leader, I’m labelled an outcast, traitor, less than dirt. When I can't take pack life any longer, I run, but apparently they don't like losing their punching bag. Torin, the leader’s son, drags me back before my first shift...a shift that will reveal my true mate. I never could have predicted who mine would be, but the moment my wolf looks upon him, I’m filled with hope for a brighter future.

Axel's eyes took on a strange shine as he looked at me. "When you were a child, your mother warned you about the dangerous creatures that lived in the forest beyond the fence, didn't she?" I nodded, my arms crossed over my chest. "The fearsome creatures that she warned you of - that she protected you from - do exist." Axel's glittering eyes met mine. "They congregate in these woods for one reason only - you."

When Supernatural Investigation Bureau agent Bluebell Kildare (a.k.a.

Using her innate sixth sense, Blue uncovers a powerful magical artifact nearby. She soon discovers it acts as a key to an ancient Grimoire that was instrumental in the creation of the Vampire breed and still holds the power to unravel the boundaries between Earth and the Plane of Fire.

Imagine witnessing your mother’s brutal murder. Imagine not being able to remember a single thing about what happened, even though you were there. It doesn’t matter how hard I try: I. Can’t. Remember! I was just a small boy when it happened. I must have tried to defend her because I have the scars that prove it. My wounds should have healed completely. They didn’t. My scars are my constant reminder of what the Moones did...what they took away from us. My mother died in agony. A piece of my father died along with her.

Great Story!
This is the first Episode in the Fate of the Alpha Series, part of A Tarker's Hollow Serial. This Series picks up after the last book in the Curse of the Alpha Series. I love Eric and Ainsley together. They share an undeniable and strong chemistry. Grace and the other characters are also very interesting. The storyline is well written, fast-paced, twisted, suspenseful, intriguing, sexy, and steamy. The story ends with a cliffhanger, and now I can't wait for the next Episode in the Series to know what happens next! The narration is really well done. Addison Spear has a great voice, easy to understand.

Wonderful World Building and Compelling Listening
I so enjoyed the Curse Of The Alpha series that I though this series might not be as good. I was wrong! This book starts where the last series ended but we are now being taken in a whole new direction. Eric has suffered a devastating blow he has lost his wolf, it's gone! He was attacked whilst saving Ainslee, his Alpha and his Mate, from a magical attack. To make matters worse Julian a magic expert thinks there is no way for him to get his wolf back.
The wolf council have sent a representative to see if Ainslee is up to the job of Alpha, and Eric is being sent to another pack to help out after a mining accident where most of the male wolves have been killed.
The town of Tarkers Hollow is now under some sort of attack, the incredible world building skills of Tasha Black and the wonderful narrative from Addison Spear bring everything to life. All the characters from the previous series are still here but there are some new ones too.
Grace the town's new sheriff is trying to solve an attack and a disappearance whilst Julian is trying to teach Ainslee how to use her new found magic as something ominous is coming to Tarkers Hollow and she is going to need it to protect herself and her pack. Oh and the ending well let's just say I didn't see it coming. I now can't wait to listen to the next book in this incredible series.
I was gifted a copy of this book by the author without any obligation to review.

Heartbreaking and lovely
Erik and Ainsley have captured my attention once again in this new series. They seem to be headed in the right direction but something ominous is headed their way. Written so beautifully and has left me wanting more and more! I can't wait for Ainsley to realize her true strength and blow everyone's minds.

ADDICTIVE SERIES
FATE OF THE ALPHA, EPISODE 1 is the fourth book in the Tarker’s Hollow series. They do need to be read in the order of release, as this is a continuing serial. There is a cliffhanger. So, do yourself a favor and get all three episodes of this book before you even start. You do not want to be stuck somewhere or busy and not able to grab the next one immediately.
I want to say so much, but I don’t want to give spoilers. Instead, I’ll say that I love Ainsley and Erik. I love Grace. I love so many from the pack. I’m even starting to like Julian. My heart is aching. I’m holding my breath, because that cliffhanger I mentioned – it’s a double! Ainsley and Grace have each been left in precarious positions … until next time …
Narration: This series is addictive to me. My commute is long, but much more bearable when I’m being entertained by these characters and the voice of Addison Spear. I’m dying to get to the next book in this serial!
Note: While I received this book as a gifted audiobook copy, my opinions are my own and are given freely.

Love this book!!! Tarker's Hollow is GREAT !!
This book picks up right where the last one ends. Eric has lost his wolf while protecting his Alpha mate, Ainslee Connor, during a magical attack and resident magic expert says that there is no way to reverse the damage. The Council has sent in a representative to judge whether Ainslee is capable of ruling her pack and the female representative has taken a liking to Eric. She wants Eric to go visit and help a pack that has recently suffered a mining accident and lost many of their males. Hidden agendas, a missing person and mysterious happenings abound in this book. The world building in this series is phenomenal and Ms. Black has done a wonderful job in the development of the characters and storyline. Loved this book and am looking forward to the next book to see where the story and characters are going. I am voluntarily reviewing this audiobook without compensation. A great addition to any audio library.

This is the first episode of Fate of the Alpha. It is a stand alone book. I love this series and can't wait for the next episode. The narrator does a nice job of creating each character and sharing their emotions. Looking forward to the next episode in the story. Happy listening.

danger and deadly secrets
nothing is ever easy and being alpha is more complex than ever. Ainsley has trouble balancing everything while her mate just wants to keep her safe. her best friend has her hands full as well as people are being attacked and coming up missing. I can't wait to see who is behind which secrets! there is adult content and violence.
