Lost Wolf

Publisher's Summary

She's hiding a dark secret. It already killed her once.

Victoria can't wait to start college, but there's a hitch - she can't remember anything before arriving on campus. Her memories finally spark when she sees her ruggedly handsome math professor, but she senses something terrible happened. The shock on his face affirms her fears.

Toby is an alpha wolf who never thought he'd see his true love again - not after she died in his arms. Nothing could have prepared him for her walking into his class. But to his dismay, not only has she forgotten the past, she doesn't even know who she is.

He's determined to do whatever it takes to restore what they've lost. Can Toby help Victoria recover her memories, or will he lose her forever?

Twist

It was hard to get into the book at first. I felt like she was jumping to stupid conclusions and I did not understand why. Glad I kept listening. Very good book in the end

B rating...

My Review:
Overall: 3.5
Performance: 4.0
Story: 3.0

Overall, I enjoyed listening to this audiobook. There were a few issues with the story though and I believe that part of that may have been world issues that weren't clarified...maybe. When the book begins, it's with Victoria realizing she has no memories of her life before this moment. And this is where I had the biggest issue with this story. The girl doesn't freak out...at all. She's really rather chill and laidback about it all, and that just didn't feel right. Now, like I mentioned before, this could be an unclarified world detail. This is a paranormal world and as the story develops, it's obvious that something supernatural has happened to Victoria. Is it possible that whatever happened to her (maybe a spell of some sort) that it could have also calmed her so she wouldn't react to her bizarre circumstances (I'm thinking a calming spell, maybe?) But I don't know...it's never explained and left as it was, it just didn't feel quite right.

But that was just a little niggle. There were a lot of unanswered questions that flow throughout the story. And it's going to be hard to discuss any of them without revealing spoilers, because there are definitely a TON of unknowns throughout this story. Some answers are revealed in the story and some that are not. This is one of three books and there are a few other things that bothered me, but again, just like my initial niggle, I'm just not sure. At the end of this book, the story is nowhere close to being done...so it's possible that those things will be explained later.

At times, the characters read as a little shallow. They are all going through some big emotional hits and that didn't always translate into their actions.

Overall, I did enjoy listening to the audiobook. I thought the narrators did a good job. The world was interesting enough to keep me captivated. I'm just now sure about the story line between Toby and Victoria. I think I needed them to be more emotionally vested in one another to get me more emotionally invested.

So kind of a wishy-washy review, but the book kind of gave me that feeling, too.

Lost Girl

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

I'm dyslexic and enjoy listening to my books far more than reading, so yes I consider the audio edition better.

What other book might you compare Lost Wolf to and why?

I'm sure their are several books I could compare this book to but I can't think of the names of the books off the top of my head. BUT this book is VERY much like a show I enjoy very much, Lost Girl. I wonder if the writer of this book got ideas from the show or vis versa.

Which character – as performed by Elise Arsenault and Rudy Sanda – was your favorite?

So far my favorite character is the Valkyrie, she cracks me up so it really doesn't matter who does the performance. I do enjoy for narrators they have enjoyable voices which can make or break an audible book for me.

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

hmm... not very good with tag lines... maybe something that talk about the love triangle... a new man is stealing her love can her true love make her remember him before it too late..?

Any additional comments?

Not often do I like more than one narrator, let-alone telling the story from two different sides in the same book... I feel the writer did well in going between the different sides of the story without feel like I was getting the same info over and over again. I like that just enough details was given for the reader to build the scene in their head without the story spending too much time on those kinda details and stand forced on the characters dialogue.

!!!

I definitely recommend reading this book!! I truly enjoyed reading this book.. I can't wait to see what happens next!

Makes no sense

There are too many holes in this storyline. The end left me frustrated that I wasted my time And angry that I would have to get the next book to make it make sense “hopefully”
I Would not recommend this book.

Good start to the series

I enjoyed this audiobook. I thought the narrator's did a wonderful job. I liked the story but wished that more happened in the book, such as answering more questions about why Victoria lost her memories. Overall I liked the book and I will be buying the second.

Loved it!

The narrators did a great job and made the story even more enjoyable. Great story line.

I finished it... *sigh*

it was so predictable.... the characters irritated me and the story progressed so slowly. I kept thinking it would get better... and it didn't.

Boring

Story had a lot of potential but it ended up just being boring. Not a fan

Great book!

The book was great, did have a few missing pieces but still good! Starting book 2 now!

lost wolf

That had more holes in it then swiss cheese!!. The reaction to seeing his long lost love was no more dramatic then being shocked at the price of an expensive lunch out. I loved the overall story line, but found it did not deleiver.

what!

I feel that I have been waiting for the book to start and then it just ended. what a waste of time and money.
