This enemies-to-lovers tale stands out as one of the best I've read. The tension between the main characters is constant, and you can feel Samanthe and Caden growing closer, despite one of them being oblivious until the end. Their significant problem of miscommunication leaves you eager for it to be resolved in the sequel.

DNF

I tried… and i TRIED to get through this but the plot was too slow and the characters a bit boring for me. Samantha was ANNOYING and I was over her whining about being a prisoner when in all honesty she could have gotten over being a brat and actually worked WITH Cadean who didn’t once mistreat her or brutalize her as a true “evil” captor would have.

This was such a <i>thrilling</i> read, I loved it! Reminds me a bit of a Court of Mist and Fury, but then set in a fantasy world with some Norse/Viking vibes.

- It’s a <i>slow burn</i> romance
- it’s <i>action packed</i>
- It has <i>very engaging</i> writing

I do wish there’d be a bit more in depth conversations with the minor characters, but overall I think this first book was a really great first in a new series.

Wasn’t familiar with this author’s work yet, but I can’t wait now to read more. Not only of this series, but what she’s written before this as well. For now, I’ll continue with this series; I bought the ebook of Hunter’s Kiss right after finishing this one haha!

Definitely recommend picking this one up if you’re looking for a new fun, fast paced fantasy/paranormal romance.

I received a copy of this book for a fair and honest review. I know there was a series before this one I did not read, but I have heard from others that it would help explain the characters a little better. I have to say Sam is an okay character and Cadean does not seems as bad as he comes off. There is a lot of tension but for a romance it is a little lacking. I know it is only the first book in a series and it does say slow burn so I get that. I just wish there was a little more to the characters.

I enjoyed every moment of this book! From the very from page until the very end! Super fast read and I’m usually a slow reader!

One word: Tension. Oh my goodness it was coming off the pages, the tension between Cadean and Samantha starts from the very beginning and I was here for it. I will admit that is what hooked me from the start. This book was enjoyed.

What a pleasant surprise this was! The Wolf God has been imprisoned in his kingdom while at war with the fae. As he strives to protect his land and people, he has become a monster or so some say. When Samantha does the unthinkable, the God becomes obsessed. The two strike a deal, but maybe Samantha is just what is needed to rein in the monster. In the end choices are made… can he win her back or will he have to take her?
Paranormal romance isn’t a usual for me, but I enjoyed this so much! There wasn’t a lot of romance happening in this one, but I can’t wait to see Samantha and Cadean’s relationship becomes! I enjoyed the banter between the two. The secondary characters and world building were amazing!

Wolf God is a captivating fantasy romance novel by Veronica Douglas that will keep you hooked from the first page to the last. The book is the first installment of the Ruthless Gods: Wolf God series, which follows the story of Samantha, a wolf shifter who defies the Dark Wolf God, Cadean, and becomes his prisoner and mate. The book is full of action, adventure, magic, and steamy scenes, as Samantha and Cadean navigate their complex relationship and face the threat of the fae.

If you are looking for a thrilling and romantic read that will transport you to a magical realm of ruthless gods, warring kingdoms, and perilous alliances, then Wolf God is the book for you.

Great read, can 1 female wolf shifter Chang a demon god nwith a kiss? If you like shifters, suspense and action you will like this book. A bit of a cliffhanger

I received a complimentary copy of this book from NetGalley. The opinions expressed in this book are completely my own

I thought this book was good! Not what I expected so it was a nice surprise! Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an advanced copy of this book.

This is a new to me author and genre-wise this is a slow-burn fantasy romance it was an easy read and definitely had some imaginative ideas. It’s dual POV and Samantha our heroine is a wolf shifter who belongs to a pack that resides in the city it’s here she finds herself pitted against and also manages to wound the Dark Wolf god a powerful male who has been imprisoned behind a barrier in his own lands.

Their initial encounter nearly kills Samantha and in the chaos, she manages to hurt Cadean his injury then deteriorates which adversely affects his lands worsening the whole situation. There's a war that has been raging between himself and the Fae and with this new unexpected development, it’s now looking dire for all under his protection. When the Fae then involve Samantha all bets are off and she now finds herself captured and imprisoned by the wolf god.

Now whilst I enjoyed parts of this I also had some niggles mainly Samantha I couldn’t warm to her. She’s so black and white and judgemental and her inability to dig deeper and gauge someone’s character well let’s just say she was damn lousy at it. The way she constantly sits up high taking the moral high ground was naive at best and arrogant at worst. She sets herself up as judge jury and executioner passing sentence without thinking of the deeper shades of grey involved and the whys. She couldn’t even see through Cadean’s brother and detect he was playing her instead taking him at face value whilst then condemning the former with not so much as a fair hearing.

Everything Cadean does to protect her and his people she manages to find lacking she’s happy to allow him to save her but woe betide he kills anyone whilst doing it though it’s only him she seems to hold to this ridiculous regard. Frankly, she was irritating self-riotous and holier than thou.

Now Cadean I did like and I felt that Samantha didn’t deserve him he does what he must and makes the hard choices because he has to and then he’s also kind to a woman who makes no bones that she vehemently detests him. I didn’t think it would make much difference what he did Samantha would still find a reason to paint him as the villain.

This had an enemies-to-lovers vibe that is slow burn and despite my annoyance with Samantha I did mostly enjoy this it was well written and imaginative I just also wanted to strangle Samantha the majority of the time which wasn’t ideal. I will read the next book as I want to see Cadean catch a break I’m just also hoping Samantha has some personal growth and grows the hell-up Samantha is the main reason this got a three-star rating from me I voluntarily reviewed a copy of Wolf God.

I so wanted to enjoy this book more but unfortunately for me it did not deliver. Yet another retelling of Beauty and the Beast and I am sorry to say not a good one. I could not get on with the writing style and at times it felt very juvenile. I am sure younger readers will enjoy it more just not for me.
Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the Arc in return for an honest review.

Whoops! Sam is in dire straits and nobody knows where she is. And she’s being targeted by the one entity that everyone thinks has been defeated. Worse, she’s not even on the same plane as her friends and family anymore.

Cadean aka the Dark Wolf God is fuelled by rage and vengeance, lashing out at everyone who has caused pain to his realm. And Sam is at the top of his list. But he’s having a hard time convincing her to fix what she’s broken and and more is seems he needs her to fix what is broken within him as well.

A paranormal romance that had me glued to my kindle from the first page. This was my first time reading a Veronica Douglas book and it did not disappoint

This book surprised me, but it was everything I love about a good shifter romance. I loved the MF Samantha, I thought she was strong and funny and enjoyable to read and relate to. I LOVED Cadean as well.

There was no spice in this book but a lot of build up to the relationship I predict comes in the next book.
I enjoyed the side characters and the magical system and animals and thought it was all really interesting.

I enjoyed this contemporary fantasy romance! I thought it was well paced and full of twist that had me on the edge of my seat at times! I really like the chemistry between the two main characters. I just want to keep reading more after that ending!

Wolf God follows the story of Samantha and Cadean, a wolf shifter with a difficult past and the Dark Wolf God, imprisoned in the Dreamlands.
Samantha renews his prison when it’s wearing weak, but this calls her to his attention, and neither of their lives will ever be the same.
When the Dark God takes Samantha captive as she needs to heal his wounds, he figures she may be the only person that can set him free.
Whilst I really enjoyed the premise of this story and the characters I found it highly frustrating in places, this is a very slow burn, with lots of miscommunication and it left me wanting to scream at Samantha for her stubbornness, which left me wanting more. She is blinded by hatred for Cadean from day 1 and cannot see past that, which for me lead to lots of frustration.
I am going to pick up the second book in the hopes that this will improve and the pace of the relation will pick up.
I really enjoyed this world building and I’m looking forward to seeing where it goes.
If you are a fan of a slow burn fantasy and want to get drawn into a new world then this is for you!

I had no idea what to expect when going into this one. I saw shifter romance and that was it for me!

I love the characters and the storyline. The instant chemistry between Samantha and Cadean was sizzling away through the whole book.

Samantha spent her life in a small town abused by her own pack until she got out.

The Wolf God needs to break free of his personal prison in his realm and he almost does it until Samantha puts him back.

Trapped in Cadean’s realm, Samantha must find a way to break free and resist the chemistry pulling them together but it’s not that simple. Cadean knows she is the key to his freedom but more than that, he wants her.

It was written so well and definitely a series to look out for!

I wanted to really enjoy this one, but the writing wasn't engaging for me and I think I just wasn't in the right mindset to enjoy this book like I really wanted to. If you love mythological fantasy, then I do recommend this one.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I would definitely say that romance felt more like a subplot here, which I was not expecting, but despite that the actual plot was wonderful and I did not find myself missing that romance element most of the time. I will definitely be picking up book 2, especially will the way that this book ends (iykyk). Would recommend!
