Quick Summary: OUTSTANDING!

My Review: Wolf God by Veronica Douglas was non-stop action and intrigue from beginning to end. This story had great elements. The plot had an air of fantasy, mythology, and dark realism mixed together. The main characters each had texture and depth. The emotional arc was brilliantly executed. I really loved being able to see the dual perspectives of the leads. They were so well written that I could not help but feel invested in each of them. I completely understood their unique struggles.

About the Characters:

Samantha and Cadean's story...WOW! (If I say anything right now, it would be too much. I'm still trying to recover from what happened. Much respect, Ms. Douglas. You wrote that and mic dropped, as far as I am concerned. Bravo!)

Wulfric, Mel, and Kass were a force. I loved their sense of loyalty and commitment to the Wolf God. They represented Cadean's inner circle. I want to better understand how they all came to be a band set to defend the Wolf God's kingdom.

Rune was a character that I hope to see again. There is definitely more to him than meets the eye. I can see him doing something even more remarkable later. (He made me think of Dobby, who was such a beloved character in the Potter series.)

Auren comes across like a villain. He is not trustworthy. He is written quite well. I can see things taking shape through his actions.

The Queen and the Fae were perplexing. So tricky. Their truth is a lie. Right?

Selene and her grandmother were supporting characters who helped to move the story along. Although they were lesser characters, they were instrumental in helping to better understand what was going on with the people who were being protected in Cadean's realm. Selene was interesting in that she allowed us to see the king's humanity. She was loyal to her king, but she also had a new sense of loyalty with her savior, Samantha, after being saved twice. (I'm thinking she'll show up again, for some reason.) The grandmother was sassy and wise. I enjoyed her defiant streak. (I think she knew more than what she was letting on during the celebration.) I do hope she makes an appearance in the other books, as well.

The Others: Even though this was story one, there were other characters who were mentioned. I am anxious to see how they will be used in the series. The wolves, Samantha's mother, Samantha's father, her best friend and her partner, the voices - what is the what with them?

My Final Say: I could not stop reading this book. It was utterly enthralling. There is really so much that I want to say about this book, but I don't want to ruin it for other readers. I'll simply sum things up by saying that this is a MUST READ. I'm going all in with this series. I must find out what comes next. Is there a fan club?!?! 🤓

I really loved the Wolf Bound series but given that the Wolf God was not a great character in that, I was a bit sceptical about this spin off. However, I shouldn't have worried - I came to adore Cadean. In contrast, Samantha was incredibly annoying and I found myself regularly frustrated with her. The pacing was also a bit strange, and at times it was an effort to force myself to pick the book back up. Definitely not my favourite from the author!

Thanks NetGalley for the digital copy to read and give an honest opinion about the story!

How nice it was to find this story. But how ugly to have to wait to have to read the second book, because it clearly ends up very handy.

This story in a magical world, which was not very well developed and that is why I lowered a star, leads us to meet two strong, independent characters who are constantly on the line of what is right or wrong to do.

On the one hand Sam, who doesn't know if he's really doing the right thing. If she is betraying her pack, if she is betraying her ideals and values, but there is something that attracts her and makes her trust that monster that she promised to destroy.

On the other, Cadean, a being that became a monster due to the war that plagues his land. He is on the fine line of good and evil, if what he does is a way to counteract the evil that is done to him or if he destroys and continues this endless cycle.

That's something I loved about this book, that the characters are not GOOD or BAD. They are there, in a strange gray.

Mainly Sam constantly considers what he does, what he feels and his ideals.

I liked having the point of view of both, although Sam predominates, and I liked that too!

I look forward to reading the second 😍

High intensity, high heat, high emotions. These two are explosive. Couldn’t put this book down. You won’t regret reading this amazing book.
