Publisher's summary

Olento Research wants to control the world. The Lucidite Institute wants to save it.

Twelve men went missing.

Six months later, they awake from drug-induced stupors to find themselves locked in a lab.

And on the night of a new moon, 11 of those men, possessed by new - and inhuman - powers, break out of their prison and race through the streets of Los Angeles until they disappear one by one into the night.

Olento Research wants its experiments back. Its CEO, Mika Lenna, will tear every city apart until he has his werewolves imprisoned once again. He didn't undertake a huge risk just to lose his would-be assassins.

However, the Lucidite Institute's main mission is to save the world from injustices. Now, it's Adelaide's job to find these mutated men and protect them and society, and fast. Already around the nation, wolf-like men are being spotted. Attacks on innocent women are happening. And then, Adelaide realizes what her next step must be: She has to find the alpha wolf first. Only once she's located him can she stop whoever is behind this experiment to create wild beasts out of human beings.

Any additional comments?

** I was given a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review **

I have listened to many many many of this authors books and have really loved them, until this one..It just didn't do it for me...I was excited by the title and subject matter...but it was really 3rd person..and I am normally ok with it, even if it isn't my fave writing style...and it never really took off for me...Ymmv...I still love this author though!!!

Good book but checkout the Lucidite series 1st...

I think I should start by clarifying, this is a great story on its own, a promising start to a new series. However, it is linked to the Lucidite series and a big part of the storyline about dream traveling is explained in the Lucidite books. As a fan of Sarah Nofke and Elizabeth Klett, I had already started the Lucidite series prior to listening to this book, but I've not completed the series. If I hadnt already listened to the first Lucidite book, I don't think I would've been able to understand the dream travel concept as well. Also, since I haven't finished the Lucidite series, there were several spoilers in this book as it refers to some of the Lucidite characters and their completed storyline. Thus, reading the Lucidite series is not a prerequisite, but IMO, this story is a lot more enjoyable if you have Lucidite knowledge. :)

As always, Elizabeth Klett's narration is excellent!

Warning highly addictive story.

It strikes me that there doesn't seem to be a explanation for the stars that are given. So I thought I'd start giving my take on it.
1 horrible no redeeming qualities. So far I've never given a 1.
2 blah but there are redeeming qualities.
3 ok worth reading.
4 great but there's something off.
5 loved it.

So now about this story. I can't wait for more of this series, oh that's right I don't have to wait, I now have the box set as it were. I want to say more about this story but I absolutely hate spoilers, so I won't do it to you by going into details. P.s. I loved Ren too, that's the predecessor of this.
The narrator brings the story to life.
Reasons I enjoyed this audio book:
Witty, Original, Wonderful characters, Great world building, Unpredictable, Entertaining, Action-packed, Funny.
Bookshelves/tags:
adventure, angst, captivity, cliffhanger, futuristic, humorous, kidnap, paranormal, series, werewolf.

highly recommended if you enjoy action, banter

This is the first book in the four-books Olento Research series by Sarah Noffke. Although set in the same world of dream travelers as Noffke's other series and featuring several well-known characters from other books, it works perfectly well even if you are not familiar with Noffke's previous works, as plenty of history is provided. However, if you've listened to/read at least the Ren series in the past, you may feel a greater connection to the story right from the start.

Ren's daughter, Adelaide, is one of the protagonists who needs to find twelve men who were abducted and genetically modified by a scrupulous corporation to be part wolf, part human. Snarky Adelaide is teamed up with sassy FBI agent Rox. Two assertive, abrasive women make for plenty of banter back and forth, as Adelaide thoroughly loathes Rox. The storyline is intriguing and nothing like the usual werewolves' sagas. As it is the first in a new series, it isn't terribly fast-paced as characters are introduced and background is provided, making sure all the characters are fully fleshed out. But there were still plenty of suspenseful as well as very emotional moments. The male characters were really interesting, too, but the limelight was definitely stolen by Adelaide and Rox. The story certainly kept my attention throughout and I can't wait to find out where this story will be heading in book 2, Lone Wolf.

Elizabeth Klett narrates the story in a nice pace and with a pleasant, clear tone that is easy to listen to. Using a wide variety of accents and easily distinguishable voices she covers a large number of characters effortlessly and really brings the story to life. There were no issues with the production of the audiobook.

A great mix of science fiction and paranormal / fantasy and highly recommended if you enjoy action, banter, characters to root for, nasty villains, suspense and very emotional moments. Basically, there's something here for everybody.

Great read

Alpha Wolf by Sarah Noffke was book one in the Olento Research series. Olento Research is trying to control the world. Twelve men go missing and six months later eleven of them wake up with new powers. They break out and one by one go missing. I enjoyed reading the Lucidite Institute's mission to save them. I cant wait to read more of this series.

Dream traveler fans unite!

*I was provided a free copy of this book by the author for review purposes*

If you are a fan of Sarah Noffke and her Dream Traveler series', then her new series is definitely for you!
Talk about putting a new twist on the dream traveler race .... with Werewolves!

Sarah has knocked it out of the park once again with what I think might just be one of her best yet!
If you love the her dream travelers as much as I do then what are you waiting for? Pick up Apha Wolf now, you won't be disappointed!


The narration was once again spot on as well. Sarah welcomes back Elizabeth Klett as the narrator in her Werewolf series and I for one couldn't be happier. When I think dream travelers, I think the only voice that fits perfectly is Elizabeths!

Thrilling story

This is a great start to the Orlento Research series. The introduction of engineered werewolves adds a interesting and different spin to Noffke's amazing Dream Traveler world. These wolves are not like any other were's you have read about, they are the first of their kind and are on the run from their creators. The Lucidites need to get to them first and figure out who created them and why. Noffke's excellent descriptive writing and Kemp’s great narration lets you feel their struggles, fears, aggression and yearnings, and the exciting plot keeps you totally enthralled. The story and its characters easily captures your imagination; from Mika's ruthlessness, to Rox's sass, Conner's self-deprecation and Adelaide's sarcastic repartee. The narrator does a good job of the different accents in the story, and she even managed to throw in a few glottal stops into Adelaide’s cockney accent. This is a thrilling tale full of intrigue, humour, loss and strife. Rox is an interesting character and you have to wonder what her sassy, sexy bravado is really hiding. Adelaide's sarcasm and abrasive nature highlights her relation to Ren, and your heart goes out to her as she walks in his shadow. Conner is my favourite "wolf" so far, he is damaged, torn, but has an intelligence and empathy that draws you to him. In Noffke's usual fashion, she has created a storyline and characters that pull at your imagination as well as your heart. It's a compelling tale, with links that tie into her other books, once again weaving more depth into an already great world and yet can still be read as a stand alone series. I loved this story and look forward to listening to the next audiobook

Snarky!

I loved Ren so much! I am glad that Adalae* (forgive me if that's spelled wrong) has his attitude towards things! I love the Lucedites*. A new adventure in this world. The writing is superb, story line is a perfect paranormal/scifi. I can't wait to listen to the rest of this series.

Hey, cliffhanger, no fair!

I guess I was expecting the book to go a slightly different direction. Lol, I've never really had a problem figuring out a match/couple but I just couldn't pin it down this time. :-o I hoped to get a firm direction on that before the book just ended on me. :-( Yay, for having the 2nd book ready to go!! :-D

My star ratings include these 5 elements:
1★ story line
1★ engaging characters
1★ use of world building/descriptive
1★ being well edited or narrated
1★ the ending
