You can't keep a good wolf down

Forest has gone through many trials and tribulations in her young life many of which should have broken her but now she back stronger than ever. I really enjoyed this book with its many twist and turns. Poppy Royana did a phenomenal job as narrator bringing the story to life by giving the character emotions. The story may sometimes be heartbreaking and disconcerting but please don't let this turn you off because it gets better. Forest is a kickass heroine and when love is involved nothing stands in her way. This is my honest unbiased review that I am voluntarily leaving of my own volition.

Cursed Wolf review

It was as good as Cursed Demon. Like Cursed Demon, it had an interesting main character and was exciting from beginning to end with great narration.

Great first story in this new fantasy world

I really liked this debut novel in this series!
YA/NA fantasy about an abused shifter from the age of 9 who can’t shift back into her human form.

There is a love interest but it’s definitely not the main focus of the book. Trigger warnings needed for attempted rape, kidnapping and abuse however these scenes are not descriptive.

We follow the young girl who learns how to rely on herself, great take on a coming of age story. Main character goes from a young naive female into a force to be reckoned with.

I liked the narration, narrators voice fits how you would picture the main character.
Looking forward to the next book in the same universe.
4 stars.

Interesting shifter story

This is the first book that I've had the pleasure of listening to by the Author. I love a good shifter story, and this one doesn't disappoint.

Forrest has a hard time in the beginning, but soon she realizes that she can take care of herself. All she has to do, is to prove that to everyone else.

cannot love this enough

They way the authur depicts these women of both immense strength and vulnerability is just amazing. I was completely enamored and in love with Forest right away. LOVE LOVE LOVE the story

A Rollicking Fast Paced Supernatural Adventure

This book is not for the faint-hearted. The MC's abusive experiences are extensive and intense. In addition the pace of the book and the narration by Poppy Royana is more than a little manic as is MC Forrest herself.

But what a wild ride this book is. It is full length so plenty of time for rich and engaging plot arcs. A minute in, and I was carried away only to stay up way too late reading it. I just HAD to know what was going to happen next. The skilled narration brings the story alive.

In addition, I was very thankful for minimal explicit scenes, Both the inner dialogue and conversation were witty and quirky and the characters totally unique, fresh and relatable. The story covers a lot of the supernatural spectrum from wolves to dragons to fae.

In three words this book is: So incredibly fun. An excellent first book for Brogan Thomas.

fantastic book

loved this book! I found myself completely consumed by this otherworld and can't wait to read the next book!

Wow! Must listen!

Love this Book! Entertaining from beginning to end! Really enjoyed the story and the narrator did an Amazing Job! 💗💕

Brilliant!!

Cursed Wolf is an incredible story, brilliantly written with phenomenally developed characters. The premise definitely took me by surprise; the darker elements of the plot are what made the story. Brogan Thomas did an exceptional job engaging and emotionally connecting her readers/listeners to the heroine. I go through several audiobooks per week, and it's become a rare occurrence where I'm touched by characters' circumstances; Forrest's story totally drew me in.

Forrest is a unique shifter who lived in her wolf form for many years. Also, as a victim of trauma and childhood abuse, her demeanor was clearly impacted. After coaxing herself to shift back into a human, she is confronted with danger and conflict. To me, she was fragile and a survivor with the will to overcome; this contrast is what makes her such a captivating character. Her journey in Cursed Wolf is wrapped in suspense, mystery, plot twists, action, romance, and growth. I'm definitely looking forward to the entire series.

Fantastic narration by Poppy Royana. I was impressed by the quality of her performance; she slipped into the characters and brought them to life. Overall, Cursed Wolf is an excellent start to the Creatures of the Otherworld series, one I'll highly recommend.

Intense

What an intense and interesting shifter story!
Forest is one hell of a shifter, she has gone through so much horribleness in her life, and she doesn’t let it break her.
I have to say Owen is my favorite character.

I absolutely loved this book!!

It's not my usual genre but it kept me gripped from the beginning. I can't wait to see what the rest of the series has in store.

Great book

Wild and wonderful fantasy ride

Cursed Wolf was brimming with rich and fascinating characters. So many different action packed adventures and a lot of fun too.
Wonderful narration by Poppy Royana, she really brought so much levity and life to Forrest. It was like the book was written for her exclusively!
5* would recommend.

Captivating & Action-Packed

If you love shifter stories this is one you don’t want to miss. The main character Forrest has lived a horrific life full of tragedy. She thinks she is finally free. Then realizes there is so much more she has to fight for.
I love everything about Forrest.
The narrator was brilliant.

Can’t wait for the next😃

It was a really good take on a magical world with you really rooting for nutty
