Publisher's summary

Adopted by the Alpha of a werewolf pack after a rogue wolf brutally killed her parents right before her eyes, 15-year-old Bryn knows only pack life, and the rigid social hierarchy that controls it. That doesn't mean that she's averse to breaking a rule or two. But when her curiosity gets the better of her and she discovers Chase, a new teen locked in a cage in her guardian's basement, and witnesses him turn into a wolf before her eyes, the horrific memories of her parents' murders return. Bryn becomes obsessed with getting her questions answered, and Chase is the only one who can provide the information she needs. But in her drive to find the truth, will Bryn push too far beyond the constraints of the pack, forcing her to leave behind her friends, her family, and the identity that she's shaped?

one of the best ever

live this story all three just love them favorite part is when she throws words at shay over her wolves

Loved the story.

I loved the story, but could only stand to listen for so long. the Narrator has a thing with like a gulping or swallowing noise as she reads and it detracts from the listening. Maybe I am just sensitive to the wierd little noises...

Young adult

Maybe I'm just a little tired of werewolves.
This isn't a bad story, but I think it is most suitable for teenagers and early twenties.

What a pleasant surprise!

I purchased this book knowing nothing about the author, narrator, or series, but because it was on sale. I am so happy that I did. I'm not a huge fan of YA books, but this one was quite well done. The narrator does a great job of conveying the emotions of the characters. The best thing about this book was the twist the author threw in. I thought I saw where she was going with the story, but I completely underestimated her. I was as shocked and surprised as the main character. I highly recommend this one to fans of werewolves and YA lit.

AMAZING!!! <3

This book is AMAZING i have never read such an amazing book i can read it again and again and never get tired of it <3 i love this book and if u get it u won't regret it ever i can promise u that <3

Enjoyable, great read!

Pretty good but not brilliant

I rather enjoyed the story. The storyline with a human girl growing up in a werewolf pack was pretty nice, the plot of the story was dramatic and I liked most of the characters a lot.

A bit much repetition of some words and sentences for me though – it made me lose my concentration at times when things were repeated too many times.
Another thing is that since I know too much about wolves (I'm working with dogs so wolves were heavily included in my studies) I'm a bit damaged about how wrong some of "facts" were. As long as I kept firmly in mind that it was all about fictional werewolves (meaning the creature is half human – messing it up a lot) and not actual wolves I could work myself through it though. *chuckle*

Overall it was a good story that really captivated me at times.

Boringgggg.

What disappointed you about Raised by Wolves?

So unrealistic. A human girl rises to alpha, come on.

Any additional comments?

Don't waste your time or money.

Couldn't finish

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

Young readers. I think I might have outgrown this one by 14 or 15 at the most.

Would you ever listen to anything by Jennifer Lynn Barnes again?

Probably not.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

Her male voices were pretty odd. And she did not have much expression. She mispronounced a couple of words.

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Raised by Wolves?

I found the whole first part to be a bore - middle school rants against parents rules went on and on and on. Not much of a plot all that time - no action. Should have condensed it. I did not listen past the first hour and a half. And I like YA books most of the time, if they are good ones.

Any additional comments?

Author doesn't understand what irony is - misused it. At that point, I shut it off.

Got worse as it went on

This book started decently, but as it went on it became more and more annoying. By the end, I could hardly stand the main character or the plot. Despite being told over and over by again by the main character that she is 'special' and 'brave', the story doesn't make you believe it. Like, if she has to say it so much, it just isn't true. She's just an annoying, short-sighted little girl who makes dumb choices and has an inflated ego throughout the whole book lol. Not to mention that the pacing was awkward and the relationships between the characters were pretty flat. I know I sound harsh. but that's my honest review.
