Review:
Raised by Wolves is a very interesting story. I have only read a couple of werewolves storys and this one is probably one of the best I have read. It story is exciting, thrilling and a real page turner once that story gets going.At first I found the story quick slow and nothing really grabbed me at first. However, it wasn't long before I was hooked onto the story and I really enjoyed. The moment I got hooked was when when Bryn meets Chase for the first time. There was an instant connection between that just turned the book around for me. Bryn is a very strong main character. She is easy to connect with, and her story is very interesting. When she meets Chase she fells drawn to him. Chase is a made werewolf who is very likeable. What I loved about there relationship is that it isn't about romance, its about the Pack connection between them.
The plot of this is very different to anything I have read. Usually we read about a girl who falls in love with wolf but doesnt know he's wolf. However, this a refreshing change. Bryn is raised by wolves and we get to read about life growing up in a Pack and how it makes Bryn feel.
Even though I really enjoyed this, as I mentioned it was quite slow to get going. And there is one scene which I found just digusting. It was shocking, and I couldn't believe it was happening. However, I pushed through the shock and scene and kept reading.
Overall, a refreshing read that will having you begging or howling for more.

Yeah that scene was shocking and hard to read... However I think it added depth to the story and backed up the wolves nature, and it turned out to be necessary so it wasn't gratuitous : )
