Hello hello hello and welcome back to another episode of The Unhinged Smut Book Club, a podcast where besties Morgan and Stevie discuss the most unhinged smut the publishing world has to offer! It’s Morgan’s birthday month (you BETTER say “Happy Birthday” in the comments!! 👊) so we couldn’t let the month pass without reading the newest release by one of her favorite authors. November’s book is Mate by Ali Hazelwood. Here's the breakdown:Omegaverse🤝Ovulation🤝Werewolf Cult: Don’t worry, that will make more sense once you’ve read the book. 😉 Serena Paris is orphaned, pack-less, and one of a kind. Coming forward as the first Human-Were hybrid was supposed to heal a centuries-long rift between species. Instead, it made her a target, prey to the ruthless political machinations between Weres, Vampyres, and Humans. With her enemies closing in on her, she has only one option left—if he’ll have her. As Alpha of the Northwest pack, Koen Alexander commands obedience. His authority is so absolute, only a fool would threaten his mate. It doesn’t matter if Serena doesn’t reciprocate his feelings, nothing will stop him from keeping her safe. But power-hungry Vampyres and Weres are not the only threats chasing Serena. Sooner or later, her past is bound to catch up with her—and Koen might be the only thing standing between her and total annihilation…Themes/genres: Mate is a riotous, fast paced Omegaverse-ish romantic comedy full of political intrigue and paranormal overlaps set in the real world. Sprinkle in some snark, forced proximity, and a “no touching” rule, and this book will have you laughing, blushing, kicking your feet, and punching the air (patriarchy seems to exist everywhere..)Explicit content: We will be chatting about all the naughty bits!
