Cursed Wolf: Urban Fantasy Shifter Stand-Alone (Creatures of the otherworld Book 1)

Cursed Wolf

Written by:Brogan Thomas





I absolutely loved this book, I am really glad to have stumbled across it. The description drew me in and it gives you a good feeling on what the book is going to be about. I couldnt wait to keep reading and finding out what is happening throughout the whole book.

There was a couple surprising things contained within the book but there was one thing that a flashback gave details for told me all I needed to know about one thing (which I wont say).

You do get to find out (at the end) if/what the reason was for Forrest to not be able to shift back into being a human, so be sure to read the whole book if you want to know if/what.

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Book Description:





For a shifter, being stuck in wolf form is torture. The moment I shifted; my life changed.

After witnessing a traumatic event at a young age, nine-year-old Forrest shifted into her wolf form--and was unable to shift back. Years later and suffering at the hands of her malicious step-brothers, she stubbornly clings to the hope that she'll turn back into the girl she once was.

But when her magic returns at the moment she needs it most, Forrest is thrust back into the world of humans.

There's only one problem. Her pack is out to kill her.

Struggling to learn how to walk and talk again, Forrest finds herself on the run from the cold-blooded shifter council. But hidden deep within her human form lies a secret--a powerful magic that has the potential to set her free. If only she can stay alive to master it . . .

If you love high-octane Urban Fantasy with shifters, suspense, and one young woman fighting for her independence amid a dangerous patriarchal world, then you won't want to miss Cursed Wolf. This thrilling novel strikes the perfect balance between humor, friendship, and slow-burn romance.

The Last Real Girl

Written by:L.C. Warman

Narrated by: Brook Meyers (I hope that is how it is spelt, the app doesnt give any info besides the author's name, I am going by the audio introduction)



I asked to review this as an audiobook, which was given to me free through an app called Authors Direct. The book wasn't too long but I enjoyed every minute of it. This is the first book of the trilogy series and where it ends makes you want more, so you will want to check out the next book (which I don't have atm but this review is on this book only anyways) and likely want the third and final as well. I will say I wish the trilogy was an all-in-one book though.

This book has excellent well thought characters and very detailed descriptions that give you a feel for the world you are reading / hearing about. Listening to this book was very nice with the way you hear the thoughts of Reese.

The narrator did a good job in bringing this book to life though some of the character voices seemed to be a bit too close to each others so it's not something you want to listen to if you aren't paying attention to the dialog on who is speaking.

I received a free review copy of this audio-book and am voluntarily leaving am honest review.

Book Description:

When 17-year-old Reese first moved to the wealthy, lakeshore town of St. Clair over five years ago, she never expected someone like Charlotte Walters to take her under her wing. Charlotte is everything that Reese is not: rich, gorgeous, and carefree, living with her enigmatic older brother and her parents in a mansion at the top of the lake.

But when senior year starts, everything seems off. Reese notices that Charlotte’s older brother Aiden keeps coming back from college to hang around on weekends, stoic and grim. And Charlotte’s parents seem more distracted, almost lost. Meanwhile, Charlotte keeps insisting to Reese that nothing is wrong, and decides to host a Halloween party with the theme of “missing girls.”

That night, at the party, Charlotte goes missing.

Everyone who attended becomes an instant suspect, from Charlotte’s brother (who argued with Charlotte earlier that night), to Charlotte’s field hockey teammate (who wasn’t invited to the party in the first place), to Reese herself (who was the last person to see Charlotte alive, out near the lake).

With the clock ticking, Reese must unravel what happened to her best friend, and dig through the layers of secrets protecting people in St. Clair. Because now, being the quiet sidekick won’t cut it. And maybe only an outsider to St. Clair can truly confront all of the town’s dark mysteries.

Wired

Written by: Leslie North
Narrated by: Rebecca Roberts



On Story Origin I requested: The Solomon Brothers Series (3 book series) and it only gave me a code for the first book so I can only give my thoughts on that book itself and not the 3 as it seemed like it was supposed to be. The name of the first book is Wired.

Was a nice short book with lots of information packed into it, without it feeling overwhelming. The story was quite interesting, leaves you wanting more.

Narrator did a great job on the character voices.

Book Description:

Star quarterback Marcus Kingston lives and breathes football. He's trusted his abilities and instincts to get him this far, but an injury last season nearly ended his career. When his coaches want him to wear biofeedback technology to analyze his game, Marcus thinks the idea is ridiculous. Plus, the mousy scientist behind the project knows nothing about sports, and she quickly gets under his skin. But with another QB waiting on the sidelines, Marcus can either agree to participate, or be benched - permanently. Scientist Clare Wynifred values intellect above most things. With her brain constantly working, she has little interest in her appearance and zero interest in sports. She never imagined her wearable tech being used to improve someone's game, but its success with the team could get her a military contract. Clare may be too late to save her brother, but her technology could save the lives of countless soldiers. She just has to make it work with the stubborn quarterback, and she'll be one step closer to her goal. Marcus and Clare butt heads at first, but their mutual attraction quickly grows. And yet, with everything to lose, it's easy to ignore that together they might be able to go the distance.

Trying to find out what happened with these multiple murders happening. Will he be able to put aside his grief long enough, or will he give up? Will he go insane with what he sees and finds out? Listen to this short book and find out.

Step Into Magic

Written by: Day Leitao



This is the first book in a series, I had gotten the second book first which stated it could be stand-alone, and in a way could have been, but with this book, it filled in gaps that was missing in the second book that had left me wondering.

This is a great series, especially if you get them in their proper order.

So the story starts off without a big amount of backstory on where the shoes came from or the dance scene, you only really get some bits and pieces. Karina is asked to go to another realm and to destroy the shoes, there is just one little issue about that. Which you can find out by reading the book.

Narrator does a great job bring the best out of the characters, changing voices and such. It really blends well together.

Book Description:

She's got the fate of a kingdom in her hands—or rather, in her shoes.

14-year old Karina doesn’t know what she wants, but knows what she’s found—fascinating silver shoes. Fascinating, dangerous, and potentially evil. On the upside, they do bring cool visitors. When a princess invites her to go to Whyland and save her kingdom, of course she accepts. There’s that little “let’s destroy the shoes” detail she’s not crazy about, but hey, free trip, alternate world.

But Whyland is nothing like she expected. Karina finds herself stuck in a kingdom she doesn’t understand, with no clue on who to trust. Before saving anyone, she’d better save herself—if she figures out how.

To make matters worse, as much as the princess is fierce, determined, and brave, she'll jeopardize everything just to reconnect with her boyfriend, almost boyfriend, or whatever. And that might just be their doom.

Step into Magic is a fun YA portal fantasy adventure. If you like books with strong heroines, friendships between girls, subtle romance, and some mystery, you've found your book.

Dissension (Chronicles of the Uprising Book 1)

Written by: Katie Salidas



Great book, good twists and turns in the book.Its an interesting story about postapocalyptal events. Just the beginning with the prologue drew me in, it was a good draw.

This book follows Mira who wants freedom, and doesn't understand how while she fights and kills other vampires, how the humans can sit there and watch and even eat, but she does what she must do to live to see another day. If there is a way out of this fighting to survive she will find it and do what she needs to do.

The Narrator did an awesome job, she has a soft voice and you can tell she enjoyed reading this book. Her voice rose and fell in the right places with makes the book to listen to that much better.

Between a great Narrator voice and/or a great Author writing, you can really imagine what you are listening to/reading.

I would love to read/listen to the next 5 books in the series later on.

Book Description:

Survival is a deadly game that Mira refuses to lose.

In the new world order, being supernatural is a crime. Vampires once thought to be mythical, have been discovered, assimilated, and enslaved. Used for blood sport in the gladiatorial arena, their immortal lives are allowed to continue only for the entertainment of the human masses.

Mira is a proven warrior with a blade as sharp as her fangs. She's spent the last thirty years in the arena, where life and death are determined by the stroke of a sword and the cheers of her fans. The only way for a vampire to get out out of this never ending battle is in a body bag, and Mira's fought too long and too hard to go out like that.

If there is another way, she'll find it.
