Raised by Wolves Jennifer Lynn Barnes Books

I was excited to get my hands on Raised by Wolves, as I'm a fan of werewolf lore and enjoy having it told by a female perspective. Unfortunately, this story -- while having so much potential -- ultimately fell flat.

It tells the story of a teenager girl who has been raised by a pack of weres since she was four and her parents were murdered by a rogue ("rabid") were. Though she isn't a wolf, herself, she adheres to pack rules and, as the adopted daughter of the pack's Alpha, that sometimes means doing things she'd rather not.

I found most of the characters in the book fairly underdeveloped and not especially appealing. That said, it was a decent read until the final quarter, when it really started to lag. I think this has most to due with the fact that the secret that had been alluded to throughout the book turned out to be a bit of a bust.

Anyway, pick it up from the library if you're determined to read it, but I wouldn't waste the cash.

Raised by Wolves Jennifer Lynn Barnes Books Reviews

This book is about a young girl who has lived her whole life as one of the very few humans in a werewolf pack. Bryn's parents were murdered when she was four and she was rescued by Callum, the alpha of the pack, from her own death. Now Bryn is fifteen, and something unexpected has been dropped in her lap. Chase was a human, now he's a wolf. That's not supposed to happen.

Bryn is drawn to Chase and the mystery he represents. As the two get closer, they find out that they're more connected than they thought. Chase is everything Bryn might have been, had Callum not rescued her all those years ago. Now fighting to save the lives of others, Bryn and Chase dive into their own pasts and face the monsters that hid there.

I loved Raised by Wolves because Bryn is feisty, stubborn, and fierce. She doesn't take no for an answer, even when that might be the easier route. When her life is upended, she fights her feet fast and throws herself into the fight to save others. Because of her loyalty, her two best friends, Lake and Devon, fight by her side. Along with Chase, the four of them have a kind of unbreakable bond of friendship that lasts. Even the scary Rogue werewolf from her past can't break them.
I did genuinely enjoy this book, but a few things did annoy me about it.

1. Bronwyn is a human girl (the name is a bit annoying to pronounce whenever it comes along in the story, but that's minor) is allowed several wolf like abilities and considering that she is JUST human and not wholly or even partially wolf seems a bit unbelievable. Believability is key!

2. The relationship she has with Chase (a young boy who is bitten and taken in by the pack as a member) seems way too rushed. It's almost as if his soul purpose was to provide Bronwyn with a love interest. Chase is a paper thin character who somehow develops this bond with Bronwyn just because they share vaguely similar experiences. Bronwyn's mother and father were killed by a rogue wolf when she was four, Chase was a wayward foster kid who was bitten by the same rogue wolf (as I write that it seems more and more far fetched)

3. Callum, the pack Alpha has a secret that he doesn't want exposed, mostly to Bronwyn, yet he Allows she and Chase to get together and "Talk" knowing full well that Chase could possibly divulge his secret considering that he was bitten by a rogue werewolf. Duh!

4. Bronwyn comes off as a little Bella-ish (twilight reference) she becomes selfish as a result of her far fetched relationship with chase and suddenly he's all that matters. Considering that Ali (her adopted mother) was the only true mother figure in her life and would have done anything for her, Bronwyn Disregards all of her concerns in search of the truth. A truth that she isn't herself sure of. I mean come on she's supposed to be so concerned with her parents killers and yet us as readers just don't really care about them or her for that matter. She even disregards her wolf family, the family she knew since she was 4 years old. I have no sympathy for Bronwyn and frankly I'm not sure if I'm supposed to.

The only characters I genuinely enjoyed were Devon and Ali because they had personalities beyond Bronwyn interpretation of them. Callum didn't much come off as a leader figure in my opinion and all the other character blended together personality wise. Overall, the book was a decent read and I look forward to reading the other installments.
