Welcome to Haenvale, a haven town located on Earth two where predators and prey live in peaceful harmony. Or do they? A very cute and unique story about fated mates, found family, and overcoming the prejudices that Haenvale has against predator shifters.
From the blurb:
Can love overcome fear?
As a prey shifter, Sully has spent his life protected inside a haven town. So what if he often catches himself wondering about the world outside it? He's safe here. The simple rules the haven went by were easy to follow: always mask your scent, stick with your kind, and don't go into the woods at the edge of town alone. Simple, really. Unless you were an inquisitive quokka caught on an unfamiliar scent, tempting you to wander far from home.
Imri was used to other shifters being afraid of his dingo form. He stayed away from most places, happy to live alone on the outskirts of town until he glimpsed a sweet little quokka lost in the woods. Helping him home was the right thing to do, but now the prey shifter won't stay away! No matter what Sully's nose is saying, they weren't a good match. Not when Imri's a quokka's biggest predator.
The Quokka Who Cried Dingo is a low angst, omegaverse, mpreg story with a bunch of cute prey shifters and a quokka who is too curious for his own good.

Omg this was the cutest! Poor Sully. After a childhood incident that had him running for his life from a seemingly wild Dingo he makes it back to his haven town safely only for nobody to believe him. I felt so bad for him. Even his parent's reactions made it clear that they thought he had made the entire incident up. Then, Sully even had to deal with the merciless teasing and bullying from the other inhabitants of the town. It was just so mean! Who could bully a sweet little quokka omega like Sully! Jerks, that's who!
After the death of his beloved uncle, Alpha dingo shifter Imri has settled into his property in the woods that border a haven town. The purpose of a haven town is supposed to be a safe place to live for both prey and predator shifters, however this particular one doesn't seem to be very friendly to those in the predator category. Since he's leery of town, Imri spends his time fixing up his uncle's house and the bonus gift his uncle left in his care. (I don't wanna spoil!)
I'll be honest. Imri was on my bad list when he and Sully first met. Jax had me worried. I know Imri had real reasons for his behavior, but I just did not want to see sweet Sully go through any hurt again. I needn't have worried though. It didn't take Imri long to embrace his fated mate status after truly getting to know Sully. I also loved how much Imri's family took to him too. Though Sully's parents do care for him, I felt like Imri's parents showed Sully what true unconditional love for parental figures was supposed to be like.
There were a few side characters I was particularly fond of and it's a good thing for me because it seems like one of them will be having their book next!
Angel's review:
Imri and Sully's story is so sweet! If you're looking for a cute read about fated mates, and unique shifters, then you have to read this! I've never come across any other stories that have had a quokka or a dingo shifter in it before, until now. I personally love when there are chapters of the characters in their animal forms, and there were those moments in this story which I really enjoyed! Even before they knew what they are to each other, Imri and Sully's animal forms somehow knew who the other was.
The aspect of the town of Haenvale being against predator shifters was quite interesting. I liked how throughout the story Imri, Sully, and a few others, tried to figure out why predator shifters were so discriminated against, and how they could fix it so things were more balanced for both Prey and predator shifters. Imri's found family made me smile, he is such a great dad to those kids. From the very beginning he cared about their well-being and happiness more than anything else, and that spoke volumes about his true character.
Sully's characters was cute, kind, sassy, and stubborn. His relationship with his family is.. difficult, but through a lot of trials and errors, they work things out overtime. His relationship with Imri developed in an interesting way, there was quite a bit of back and forth that happened between these two men. So, if you're expecting smooth sailing after they find out their mates.. that won't be what you get. Instead, you'll get a story about two men who are trying to do the best they can with the situation they find themselves in. Who.. eventually fall in love, and form a family unit.
All in all, a well written story full of cuteness and love! Oh! And opposites attract.
