Fantastic Listen!

Lost Wolf is a wonderfully written Rejected Mate, Paranormal Shifter Romance, and an amazing start to the Savage series. Mila Young's worldbuilding is creative with intriguing supernatural elements, and her characters are, as always, fascinating and appealing. I really got into the story; it was imaginative, stimulating, and exciting, with unforeseen twists and turns. There were a couple dark factors and threats, definitely a cause for triggers for some readers/listeners. Overall though, Lost Wolf was a fantastic listen with excellent narration. Krys Janae portrayed the characters and the nuances of their emotions very nicely, bringing them to life. I'm certainly looking forward to starting the next instalment.

Reminds me why I don't like reverse harem

Despite my distaste for aspects of this story the narration by Krys Janae was outstanding and totally flawless. I could not fault any aspect of the listening experience and was drawn into the characters and story despite my reservations.

In terms of the novel, first, I would like it to be a little clearer that it is a reverse-harem as this is a genre I avoid. Second, I could not handle the love interests constantly being on the edge of raping someone hired to assist them with a quest. In my mind, there is no coming back from that. Any relationship built based on 'stockholm syndrome' or similar is not worthy of my time or connection. The constant rape threats from multiple companions (and others they come across) are particularly distasteful and potentially very triggering. The idea that her wolf still wanted someone who had attempted to murder her seemed far-fetched and certainly an ugly twist......

On the positive, I did like the slow burn story and the world building is detailed and interesting. Overall, the storyline is well-crafted and I enjoyed the fresh approach that the 'half-wtch' and 'viking' scenarios brought to the table.

Overally, those able to warm to the themes may find it a worthy new series.

Couldn't put it down!

I absolutely adored this book, it was an emotional rollercoaster, full of shocking plot twists and drama. This book continued on smoothly from the shadowlands sector, continuing to build upon the world created there, and introducing Nara and here sisters, and Ragnor and his pack. An exciting, enthralling read that had me on the edge of my seat, but what a cliffhanger for an ending - it really can't end there, can it? When is the next book due out! The narration by Krys Janae was expressive and excellent, always an enjoyable experience. I received this book in exchange for my honest review.

Half Witch, Half Wolf

This is the first book in a four-part series, the author does a very good job with the world-building and introducing the important characters.

The story starts when Nora, the oldest of three sisters, two of whom are Cursed because they carry magic, but that is something they have managed to keep secret. If it were discovered they would be killed, they are orphans because the current Alpha of the pack killed their parents when her mother is, Magic was discovered. In order to keep herself and her sisters safe she must agree to mate with her fated mate, whilst attempting to keep her magic a secret.

Unfortunately, when she becomes frightened, by her maté’s behaviour her magic reveals itself. Her fated mate rejects her and then proceeds to throw her over a cliff to ensure she dies.

Somehow Nora lives but is separated from her sisters, whom she sent away for their own safety. Later in an attempt to find them, she strikes a deal with Ragnar, one of four Viking alphas that if they find her sisters, she as payment will guide them safely through the cursed Woods so that they may claim the Savage Sector on the other side.

No more spoilers from me, the book ends on a cliffhanger, one I certainly didn’t see coming. Who is really on her side, is it the four Viking alphas, or is it the witches?

The book was beautifully narrated, by Krys Janae, adding to my enjoyment of the story.

I was given this audiobook as a gift, and I am voluntarily writing my review.

Very entertaining

I really enjoyed this audiobook, the story was gripping and the narrator did an excellent job of bringing the characters to life. I am really looking forward to listening to book 2, especially after the cliffhanger ending, and finding how the chemistry between the characters evolves.

Absolutely amazing!!

This book is brilliant! The chemistry between these characters is epic. A fantastic performance from Krys, she really does bring all these characters alive. I can’t wait for the next book to see where this storyline is going.

Wolf

Loved listening to Krys Janae, she brings out the strength of the characters. Great narration.

Narah is hiding her family secret, trying to protect her sisters by mating with her True mate, but what happens if your true mate is not what he seems. This book has such twists and turns, drama. What more can you need, Vikings and Wolf shape shifters.

Strong leads.

Wow

The start of this one had me on the edge of my seat and it just did not let up, I felt for Nara she went through so much and it just keeps continuing but she’s also incredibly brave and resilient and I love that about her. This is a book that I would highly recommend. There’s great chemistry, adventure and amazing characters.
