I really enjoyed this quick read. I have not read anything by Jackie May before but enjoyed the way she can make you fall for her characters quickly. They all seemed very relatable and even those who didn't get a lot of page time were easy to get attached to. I look forward to finding out if she will continue with this series and these characters. I received this title for free in exchange for my honest opinion.

I have not read either of the series that this book is part of but that didn't hurt my absolute love for this book. This can be read as a stand alone as I did.

This book starts off on a bang right away. Skylar has been held captive by an abusive wolf shifter who uses her gifts for himself. She's been beaten and abused but when she sees a way to escape, she takes it. Wulf spots her when she comes into the bar and is looking for the alpha of the territory because she needs help. Wulf, a long wolf shifter feels an immediate pull to help her and that's strange for him because he's a lone wolf. But once his clan helps her and gets the magical collar off her that was suppressing her wolf, it because apparent to Wulf and his wolf that she is his true mate. Which is a shock to him and others since true mates are supposed to be a myth.

What comes next is Skylar and Wulf navigating their new relationship while Wulf tries to control his wolf who is adamant that they make a pack. But Wulf has always been a long wolf and he doesn't understand why his wolf wants to keep making new pack members.

Skylar is different and special so Wulf has to be careful a nd deal with more drama once others know about her. Shifters start coming to ask for help from her and that brings all kinds of new twists to the story. Skylar and Wulf have to ask for help from some people that they really don't want to but they are able to help a few more people when they do.

This was such a good book. New people and situations kept getting thrown at Wulf and Skylar but as long as they worked together and helped each other through the situations, they got through them. I'm definitely going to have to go back and read the other series and books in this universe because some of these other characters like Illren, the Fae who happens to be an assassin is so intriguing and I want to get to know him more.

Disclosure: I was given an e-ARC of this book via NetGalley but all thoughts and opinions are my own.

So stinking good! Oh my gosh. No one can do paranormal quite like Jackie May! I was so stoked to get back into the Detroit scene with some of my favorite paranormals and this did not disappoint! (Hello Nora!)
Fated mates, damsel in distress (kinda lol), touch her and die vibes! I am here for it. One of my favorite reads of 25 so far! I read it all in one sitting, it’s THAT good!

I love fated mates, lone wolves, and Detroit so this was a quick win and a quick read for me! The story and pacing were great and really made me want to seek out more on the other characters mentioned.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to review. The thoughts are my own.

Wulf’s Pack was well-written and had great pacing. It kept me interested from page one and had me laughing, worried, and a little sad…hitting all the emotions throughout! To note, at one point, there were so many new characters introduced that I really had no idea who was who, but it didn’t adversely affect my understanding of the moment or the storyline. Overall this was an entertaining read! I highly recommend!!

Wulf's Pack was a pretty fun read! It had me hooked from page one, and it's been a minute since I read a book that didn't require just a little bit of work on my part to keep my interest in the beginning. Unfortunately, I found that I was more engaged in the first half than the second half. The beginning of the book felt so emotional--Skylar has just escaped eight long years of torture, she's battered and broken, and she's been kept in the dark about so much, down to her very own shifter nature. And Wulf, our sweet, charismatic flirt, ever the outgoing goofball, has anxiety and nearly collapses when he realizes his voluntary lone wolf status has just been thrown in the bin and now the commitment-phobe has to take on the responsibility of a very vulnerable mate AND the pack she's going to require. The emotional drama was high and I was here for it. But somewhere along the way, things stopped feeling emotional and started feeling like check boxes. New pack mates? Check. Travel to combat a threat? Check. More new pack mates? Check. Convenient skillsets of new packmates? Also check. By the time we got to the part where Skylar was taken again, I found myself thinking, "Finally! Some drama!"
Overall it was still a fun time, and I'd still recommend this author to anyone who likes shifter/urban fantasy books. Overall 3.5 stars for me.

Wulf was great! And Skylar is a perfect mate for him. The only thing with this book that is that I woshed we had more time for the side characters to feel really connected. But other than that, very enjoyable read.

Wulf Winters, everyone’s favorite bartender in Detroit’s underworld finally gets his story. I’m a big fan of fated mates and that’s the only way Wulf would give up his lone wolf status.

Skylar has been imprisoned and tortured her entire life. Her character growth was full of self discovery and strength.

I really enjoyed going back to Detroit and its underworld. There are cameos of all the favorites like Nora Jacobs and Nick Gorgeous. The diverse shifter pack that Wulf builds and the politics around it was a really fun storyline.

What a thought was going to be a boring shifter romance turned out to be a “I can’t put it down”. It was a great read for me. It’s about a female with special gifts who escapes years of torture and abuse to find her true mate. An unlikely one but hers.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from NetGalley. The opinions expressed in this review are completely my own. That you for allowing me to review

Wulf's Pack by Jackie May, was a great right read of mine by this author. It had romance and adventure without being too drawn out. I really loved watching Skyler go from timid to a loving but strong person. I also love the take on omegas in this book too, it put a different spin on a paranormal book. I enjoyed this book so much I'm going to go back and read her books about Nora and Shayne! Thank you so much #netgalley for allowing me to leave an honest review.

I received an advance reader's copy of Wulf's Pack by Jackie May from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I’m always excited to read a new-to-me author and Jackie May did not disappoint. Overall, I quite enjoyed the book and the morning flew by while I read. There was action, intrigue, romance, and chemistry. The characters were fairly well-crafted, the pace of the novel was mostly steady, and there were some surprises. It was a fun book and I enjoyed it!

If you love paranormal romance with a healthy dose of humor, drama, and heart-pounding action, Wulf's Pack by Jackie May is a must-read. This gripping story about the reluctant alpha wolf, Wulf, and his unexpected mate, Skylar, grabbed me from the very first page and didn’t let go until the last.

Wulf is the epitome of the lone wolf — dominant, independent, and completely against the idea of pack life. The thought of becoming an alpha terrifies him, and honestly, who can blame him? Leading a pack means responsibility, something Wulf is not keen on. To make matters worse, the very thought of a mate sends him into a panic. But when Skylar stumbles into his club, everything changes in an instant. She’s beautiful, mysterious, and—much to his surprise—his fated-mate. The moment their bond clicks into place, Wulf's life is turned upside down.

Skylar, on the other hand, is not the delicate flower you might expect. She’s a rare Omega shifter, on the run from a pack that wants her back. This gives Wulf’s Pack a serious edge as danger and intrigue follow Skylar everywhere she goes. Wulf’s wolf immediately takes over, and the tension between wanting to protect his mate and navigating his new role as a potential pack leader is electric plus every time Wulf's wolf took over to claim members for the pack had me laughing.

What I absolutely loved about this book was the chemistry between Wulf and Skylar. They’re a perfect match in every sense. Their bond is intense, but it’s also filled with humor and tenderness, making their moments together feel real. As someone who devours books for the thrill of the story, I found myself laughing out loud at some parts while gasping at others. It’s the perfect blend of light-hearted fun and pulse-pounding action.

By the end of the book, I was desperately hoping for more. Wulf and Skylar's story left me wanting a follow-up, and I was genuinely hoping for a note that their story would continue. The stakes are high, and their bond is still unfolding, so there’s so much potential for more.

In short, Wulf’s Pack is a wild ride that mixes laughter, heartache, and unforgettable romance. It’s a fast-paced read that I couldn’t put down and would definitely recommend to anyone who loves shifter romance with a strong alpha and an even stronger heroine.

Nora Jacob's series has been a favorite of mine since it came out. I devoured Shayne's series when that came out, too. So it's no surprise that this book was an immediate yes. The author is down to a solo act, and this book does read more like Nora's than Shayne's...but I loved that, so not a con.

It was definitely different, reading from Wulf's POV, since he was a perpetual bachelor alpha. His issues and past are way different. I had a little bit of a harder time relating to him, but once the story got started, it wasn't an issue. Some bits of info were a bit repetitive, but it didn't bother me too much.

I loved the characters. The plot was a bit simpler than the others in this world, probably because this is a stand alone. That said, there's enough here to keep you entertained.

Tears of sadness and happiness were shed...so prepare yourself.

So glad the author decided to revisit this world and hope to see even more!

This book can technically be read on its own, but I highly recommend reading both Jackie May series first (Nora Jacobs and Shayne Davies series).

Beyond that, I loved it. Like Shayne's series, this is m/f, not rh, but with the werewolf pack structure, there are plenty of side characters to love.

Definitely recommended.
