Shifter apocalyptic rh

Interesting enough.
Different take on omegaverse
There’s knotting for those interested.

This is a rh novel and world building is set up nicely.
Dead wolves turn into infected shadow creatures setting the scene of a post apocalyptic universe.
I’m not 100% on the love interests tbh but maybe this will change.

I’m listening to the audio omnibus and am struggling between the two love interests names because the narrator pronounces them quite similarly. I’m guessing written they look a lot different.

I’m looking forward to seeing this mfc grow and woman up…. Here’s hoping.
3 star listen

Book 2
3 fated mates
Lots of smut
Storyline progresses slightly, but no real backstory to the three males yet.

I fmc is borderline annoying. Until the last 10% of the book.
I’m looking forward to book three, I hope she lives up to her worth!
3.5 stars

Book 3

The best of the three but still missing something I think. I don’t really understand the whole thing. Like what made her that way? I don’t understand 🤷🏼‍♀️ I just think that the mfc is too meek for me to like her until this last 10% of the book.
3 stars.

All in all, this is constant. 3 stars. Rh post apocalyptic shifter romance.

Trigger Warning

The story was ok. I think there should be a trigger warning in the summary. It’s sad to say there are multiple attempted rape scenes in this book. I listened to the entire book and it’s really not my cup of tea. The story took too long to unfold.
Just my thoughts.

The story was well written

Mila, you are a great writer. This is my first book by you. I'd suggest a different narrator though. she was very stilted in her reading of this book and was a great distraction to the actual story. not sure yet if I'll get another book in this series or not.

amazing story

Mila Young never disappoints! This story had me excited to listen at every available moment. Initially, I was turned off by the narration. There were unnatural pauses in the middle of sentences, but this got better throughout the book. I would still highly recommend!

Great Story

I enjoyed listening to this complete series. This series had a fantastic storyline. I enjoyed the strength and resilience of Maiya. She went through so much angst but she never gave up. Her luck finally gets better when she meets not one but three mates. There are alot of steamy scenes throughout.

Narrator Krys Janae voiced the characters very well. She brought the story to life.

Disappointed

After reading the reviews I was excited to read this new series. After about 30 minutes in I had to increase the speed to 1.5 so as not to fall asleep. And throughout this series the narrator was horrible. No inflection had problems with saying certain words and her cadence was so slow. The story was ok not great but ok. The characters seemed ok but I didn’t really like her by the end and had serious doubts about the 3 men as narrow minded. Overall I’d not spend my credits on this author again.

Excellent!

Definitely worth buying and I am interested in looking up this author for her other books. I like the narrator's voice also.

Unique take on shifters

Overall good story with unique angle on shifters.

The audio started out initially stiff ( over articulating with less inflection)and with occasional strange pauses but improved throughout the story into a good flow.

Story with some good heat and intermediate angst that want too contrived.

First Mila Young book and would read more!

Great post apocalyptic Shifter reverse harem with zombies!

Shadows & Wolves: A Werewolf Romance Complete Collection
Written by Mila Young
Narrated by Krys Janae

I received an audible code for this amazing box set in exchange for an honest review. Individually the books are:

Shadowlands Sector, One (A Shifter Paranormal Romance)
Shadowlands Sector, Two. And
Shadowlands Sector, Three: A Shifter Romance

The ebooks are available to read on kindle unlimited along with many other paranormal romance works by Mila Young but honestly go for the audiobook here because Krys Janaes narration is just perfection and at a total of just over 20 hours the complete set allows you to settle in for a nice long listen to hold your interest through weekly household chores or a long road trip or where ever you do your audiobook listening.

This is a post apocalyptic world with zombies and wolf shifters. We open on our heroine as a child to get important details from her back story that sets up her reactions/motivation.

The world building involves packs of wolf shifters who fortify their communities against the undead. The hierarchy involves the Alpha, Beta, Omega construct that will be familiar to shifter romance readers. Fated mates and knotting is involved with the overwhelming compulsion to solidify bonds between fated mates. However at no point is anything consummated against anyones will on page. However (trigger warning) there are references to rape or near rape. I read everything that does happen as consensual though. This is a high heat, high steam, open door, reverse harem with no cheating though the harem does develop organically, quickly and somewhat surprisingly to the players involved but no one’s bothered by the end result of sharing. If you prefer closed door this is definitely not a book for you.

Now for the actual plot -
We’re escaping/fighting zombies and rogue wolves. Our heroine is acclimating from solo to pack life. Our hero’s are dealing with betrayal from within the pack. And at one point some of the characters from Lost Wolf cross paths with these characters but having read or not read that book first should not impact your enjoyment or understanding.
Overall this is an epic adventure where our main characters struggle not only literally but philosophically to come to terms with who they are, who they have been and who they can be and that relying on one’s loved ones for help can make us all stronger.
5/5 Great Series!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

So I finally found time to listen to this series and was so happy I did. This series was definitely one where the main female really didn't need her mates protecting her and instead it was more like her mates needed her. I loved every second of this series and can't wait to listen to more by Mila Young. Krys Janae did an amazing job narrating this series!
