Wild

By: Meghan O’Brien

Narrated by: Alexandria Wilde

The only thing that frightens shapeshifter Selene Rhodes more than the full moon is the idea of falling in love. Selene Rhodes has lived her whole life with a terrible secret: Not only can she take the form of any animal at will, but once a month the full moon transforms her into a fierce wolf-creature without a human conscience. Managing her condition means living by a strict routine, and more importantly, abstaining from intimate relationships with human beings. Selene is convinced that love and friendship can only bring her pain.

Forensic pathologist Eve Thomas is well acquainted with the pain of romantic love. Swearing off relationships after having her heart broken by a cheating ex, Eve throws herself into her work: catching murderers. When Selene comes to her aid after an attack by a masked man in Golden Gate Park, Eve is shocked by how powerfully she is drawn to her mysterious savior. Shaken by her own feelings for Eve, Selene is even more terrified to realize she isn’t even close to being the scariest monster stalking San Francisco. There is someone out in the city who is killing for pleasure, and his next target is the one woman he thinks might be able to stop him: Eve.

Good, but...

Would you consider the audio edition of Wild to be better than the print version?

Despite this being a very good audio book overall, no.Although the narration added depth to the story, some aspects of it shift my personal preference towards the print (e-book) version.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Wild?

Nope. I'm not going to spoil that for you.

What aspect of Alexandria Wilde’s performance would you have changed?

I really liked Alexandria Wilde's narration, but Selene's "Russian" accent did not seem to match the character's background.

And while I would normally overlook the pronunciation of 'perigee' in a romance novel, I was helpless against the tidal pull of the occasional "peri-ghee" towards a culinary tangent.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

A hot shapeshifter romance.

Any additional comments?

Wild is an entertaining mix of romance, crime and urban fantasy.
I would recommend the audiobook to anyone who doesn't mind Selene's accent as much as I do.

Loved it but wish there was more

Loved the book but feel like it ended a bit unfinished. I was hopeful there was a sequel or series that continues the story but there doesn't seem to be one. Left with a bunch of questions about what happened next. The potential for further books about Selene, Eve and Jac and what happens now that Selena's secret is known by others is great, sorry to see that the author hasn't expanded on the story.

Romance /thriller/Sci-fi

Enjoyable tale with good character development. It is performed well... Overall entertaining. If recommend it.

I must admit it took me a bit longer than usual to get into this book, but once I did, I absolutely loved it. I recommend it for sure.

Emotional

Loved every minute of it
I really enjoyed this book at me entertained. I love the story about starcrossed lovers

Great story

Really, the story came together beautifully and the sex scene, awesome. Lots of suspense which had me gasping out loud. Love the story fully. A must read or listen.

Sapphic romance with spice

I love sapphic super natural books. Grateful that it wasn’t a slow burn, age gap, or coming out story.
It has just the right amount of spice, romance, humor, and sadness.
Not a whole lot of adventure or “page turning” gotta find out what happens next but also not completely predictable.

I loved Alexandria’s narration, it added depth to the characters and it was easy to tell the difference between the characters. Her voice was perfect.

Wild

This story was very good. Though I did not like the first chapter. The rest of the story was gripping and I never wanted the story to end. I liked how it kept me wonder what would happen next. I also liked how it was not predictable, it had many twist and that is a test to how excellent a writer Meghan O'Brian. This is one of my favorite audio books! I will be listening to it again in the future!
