    Mate: Wet, Wild, and Somehow Even Wetter

    Emma, Tabitha, and Maura put on their flannels and try to stay dry in the Den (aka Olympia, Washington)! Mate by Ali Hazelwood is the sequel to Bride, which we absolutely loved. This time it’s human-werewolf hybrid Serena’s turn at alpha love with Koen, leader of the Northwest pack and lover of insults favored by 14-year-old boys. Unfortunately Serena has a lot to learn about wolf life, and the vampires, naked werewolves, bloody history, and a potential terminal illness are getting in the way of Serena learning about the important things like why she can’t stop rolling around in Koen’s laundry. EPISODE INCLUDES SPOILERS Content warnings for Mate and episode: Death, blood, abduction, suicide, graphic sexual content, cursing, cults, discussion of terminal illness, drugs, discussion of infertility and pregnancy, attempted murder, and violence.
