Creature of the Flame: A Fated Mates Shifter Romance (Her Creatures Book 1) Kindle Edition

4.4 out of 5 stars 1,165 ratings

One mistake cost me everything. My gorgeous triton tail was gone, and in its place were the worst things imaginable…

Tentacles.

I’ve learned to live with being different, but now the clock is ticking down to being stuck with them forever. But when a chance presents itself to possibly go back to the way things once were, I can’t pass it up.

Along the way I meet four mates who change my world.

The broken wolf. The protective dragon. The passionate griffin. The playful snake.

Just when I let myself hope for a happy ending, everything comes crashing down around me. The fate of the world is in the palm of my hand, but to eliminate the threat I might have to sacrifice more than I’ve bargained for.


*

    I don’t understand why people are so rude and bullying to other races and different body shapes and sizes in real life and this is a really good representation of that in the shifter world! Love that they bring each other up and love each other when everyone else seems to shy away!

    Okay so this surprised me and hooked me immediately.
    I have a feeling that this ties into a previous series that covers her brothers and her ‘origin’ story but I followed it fine without it.
    I absolutely loved Jonah. Naughty little author boy. 😘 This has been the second book I’ve read where a main character is an author of romance books and I feel I need more of this trope. Plus add in the twist of their career connections and I’m in heaven.
    I also can’t get enough of how sweet both guys are. Not alpha at all but super sweet and supportive.
    So a rh paranormal romance with a wolf shifter, dragon shifter and a mermaid turned kraken. Magic, shifters, spice and a good shot of action suspense at the end.
    A great start to a fun series and thank god book two is out because that ending has me jumping immediately into book 2.

    I loved the cjaracter of Jonah- hes so cute, the formerly paralyzed romance writer. And lucas the hot firefighter dragon, ong. Olivia has it good. Loved that this book actually had romance along with the plot, like the characters actually got a chance to be happy. But holy heck that cliffhanger though, time to start the next one!

    I had seen this book show up in my recommended list a few times so I decided to give it a try. It didn’t even dawn on me that this is written in the same world as another set of books that I didn’t finish the third book of.

    I will say the FMC is likable she is just the right amount of independent but also dealing with her insecurities. One of the MMC‘s Jonah I cannot stand. His character is very immature and whiny, and it would be fine if he wasn’t a 29-year-old man. His character annoyed me so much. There were moments where I skipped scenes with him because he was just childish to the point I kept forgetting how old he was he gave off the vibe of being between the years of 18 and 21 and that wasn’t the case.

    All in all it was a decent read. Am I eager to read the next book not so much will I probably.

    Olivia was born a triton, but a demigod cursed
    her and turned her into a kraken, and she was
    just informed that she had 3 years until she
    would be stuck in that form. She is a graphic designer who is working from home on book covers for her favorite author. While at the
    Collition, she met a wolf shifter named Jonah
    who is actually the brother of another wolf
    she knows. Jonah and his brother snuck into a dragon's layer when they were kids and Jonah was thrown and paralyzed from the neck down for 15 years before he was healed but his wolf has never made an appearance in the 2 years. While at dinner, Olivia goes to the bathroom, and Harlow gives her a prophesy that 4 creatures that God's fear along with her
    dagger will keep her from the deep 1) has to
    do with a flame (dragon, which is Lucas) 2)
    one from the sky will catch her. 3) The wild
    one will hold her tight and 4) one from the
    moon will guide her (they assume this will be Jonah). Olivia and Jonah (who was a virgin
    and also a well-known, published romance
    author who people assume is female) decided
    that they would be together and follow her
    shining dagger and see where they land. They
    drive from her home in California and are led to his hometown in Maine. The dagger causes problems, but they meet Lucas, who is a dragon shifter. Things start out bad between them as it was his Mom who hurt Jonah, but they come to realize that he is Olivia's mate. There is another run-in with Harlow warning that on alight night there will be an attack on them and that Olivia must be watchful or two of them will be dead. It ends with them being attacked by gnomes and a 12 foot skeleton, Lucas gets the dagger stuck inside his throat and can't shift back and is too weak to move from his cave other than to shield Jonah. Jonah had to have CPR performed by Lucas and is still unconscious but safe in one of Lucas's caves, and Olivia was left laying next to a lake. Spice level is a solid 3. I can't wait to read the rest of this series!

    What an amazing story to start off a series!! The world building was amazing, and I love how Olivia meets each of the two men who are introduced in this book. I like how we really get to connect and understand the different characters through the multiple POV's as well. So it's not just Olivia's point of view. That helps really create a nice, well-rounded character who is easy to connect with. Understanding their pasts helps us understand who they are now and why they respond to different situations the way they do.
    I also really like how it's not all instant love between everyone who has been introduced so far. There is tension between the guys, though there is definitely a bromance developing.
    This book ended with a cliffhanger right after an amazing action scene and before we even got to meet any of the other men who are to be Olivia's mates, so I can't wait to read the next book!

    Overall, definitely a 5 star read!!!

    Way to open this part of the series. I know they can all be read independently of one another but I always read from Salinity Cove on when going into this world! And this one didn’t disappoint! I cannot wait to dive into the rest of this series! Also love the Narration done by the Bordeaux’. They always capture my attention and put all the feelings in!

    I read this book really fast. Soo good.
    I loved how easy a read this was. I love that I can't guess what's going to happen.
    Cliffhangers a bit mean, glad I don't have to wait for the next book.
    I highly recommend the Salinity cove and arbour falls series before starting this one. Not because you need to read them in order but because they are ace and are set before this. X

    Reviewed in Australia on March 4, 2022
    An alright start to the new series. I haven't completed any of the crossover serise (not enough dragons 🐲) but this still made plenty of sense. Kinda makes me want to go back and try finishing them while I wait.
    Even with the cliffhanger warnings they still always irritate me when I have to wait.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Four stars
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 9, 2022
    Stars given on level of engagement;

    5 stars - less than a day to read because I cannot put it down. I only give 5 stars if it has managed to engage extra emotions from me - extreme lol moments or real teary moments etc. A 5 stars book tends to have me raging about cliff hangers and (legally and not creepily) stalking the author for release dates.

    4 stars - 2 days to read or less. A book that I have quite enjoyed reading, feisty MC and some racy scenes with thier romantic interest. I would definitely follow a series and author for 4 star books.

    3 stars - takes around 2/3 days to read, usually because I have become distracted and less engaged in some sections but by the end the end I have enjoyed the overall story and would read any sequels.

    1/2 stars not given, as I have usually returned it without finishing as I'm not engaged. .
