A New Series from the Author of CURSE OF THE ALPHA!

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.

˃˃˃ A Continuing Story...

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, which will be told in three parts. Episodes 1 and 2 will have some SERIOUS CLIFFHANGERS! So if that’s not your thing, consider yourself warned!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book
Reviewed in the United States on March 27, 2015

This is such a great book, that I look forward to going back and reading this story again and again, and now I am impatient to read the rest of the books in this series by this author. Black writes tension filled and descriptive scenes. This is a well written, creative and intriguing story about wolf shifter families and their community and lives. The author throws into the mix, inventive, vivid characters, and some men and women who make your pulse race; seriously sexy leading characters. Ainsley, the lead character, returns home, after years away, to settle her parents estate in the small town where she grew up. She had been estranged from her parents since high school. She was a senior when she found out that she could shift into a wolf, and her 17 year old boyfriend had just died the night before; and from an apparent animal attack. Ainsley had blacked out while in the middle of making out with him in the woods, and she mistakenly thinks that she accidentally killed him during her first shift. She painfully suppresses her wolf for years, in fear of hurting people, and moves to New York to become a rich Real Estate Agent. When both her parents die, the Alpha pair, suddenly in a car accident; she must confront the truth about herself, her heritage, her magic, and who and what the danger really is, in order to find the Alpha that has been pre-destined and save the entire town of people she's realized she has never stopped loving. The author's brilliance is woven into all that goodness to make up this fantastic mystery/paranormal thriller, and makes this series a "must-have"!!!! I didn't want to set it down....seriously. I was drawn in to the fantasy community of shifters and magic, and yet at heart, the people are honorable and just trying to live peaceful lives and protect their town from evil. I didn't want to put it down, I was falling asleep over this book and the others in the series!!! Lol

I really enjoy all of Tasha Black's books and this one is no exception. This book continues on from the previous series (which I went back and re-read to be fresh)in my mind... Ainsley and Erik are a wonderful couple in the past but now things are coming into play that are set to mess with their lives...Ainsley as alpha and Erik as her mate... Yes there is a cliffhanger but man oh man until you reach that part...... can't wait for part 2!!!

Fate of the Alpha: Episode 1 starts off where Curse of the Alpha left off. Right off the bat Tasha Black does not waste anytime in bringing the reader update on our heroine, Ainsley. We also get a glimpse of Erik, her mate. She has accepted her wolf and even finds it thrilling to run in this form. However, she is still learning how to be a wolf and working on developing her other powers. Her friend Grace Kwan-Cortez is still around and helping Ainsley stay grounded. Julian is still in the picture and has even become a mentor of sorts. However, don't assume that everything is as it appears. Friends are not always friends and not everything will unfold as you think it should! This book ends in a cliffhanger that will keep the reader intrigued and waiting anxiously for the next installment! I for one, am looking forward to the following episode!

These books are great.I cannot believe Erik lost his wolf.Ainslie is a strong alpha wolf,but unless she gets her act together her town is doomed.The sudden appearance of someone from the Federation makes Ainslie very upset,but losing Erick has devastated her.There is some serious magic going on town,if Grace and the others cannot figure it out they are in serious trouble.

Before reading Fate of the Alpha, you will need to read Curse of the Alpha. This will be worth it. I could not let go. When you start reading, is just like you are there. Next book due by March 2015, I will read Curse of the Alpha from 1 to book 6 then the Fate of the Alpha.

3.0 out of 5 stars Werewolf shifters and witches and who done it.
Reviewed in the United States on October 10, 2022
I enjoyed the story and the characters. For me the serial bit detracts from the experience but this a traditional aspect of storytelling that is time honored and has made for great literature when the series is taken as a whole (think Dickens). This first in the series sets up some interesting plot lines and so the whole will probably be greater than a sum of the parts.

4.0 out of 5 stars Captivating and Well Written Paranormal Series
Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2016

*Slight Spoilers* I read the entirety of the Curse of the Alpha series, and I liked it enough to purchase the first episode of the Fate of the Alpha. I really enjoyed this book, for the most part. The writing is well done, other than a few missed spelling/grammar errors (Erik turned to Eric, for example), and the characters are interesting and have depth. The story is a fresh one, which is something really nice to find when there are so many copycat paranormal stories out there. The thing that bothered me, though, is Erik's loss. I really liked him and Ainsley together, and I hope it can all work out. I recommend buying this book (it is better if you read the Curse of the Alpha books first, though).
