Wolf by Wolf

One girl’s mission to win a race and kill Hitler

De: Ryan Graudin

Narrado por: Christa Lewis

From the author of The Walled City comes a fast-paced and innovative novel that will leave you breathless.

Her story begins on a train.

The year is 1956, and the Axis powers of the Third Reich and Imperial Japan rule. To commemorate their Great Victory, they host the Axis Tour: an annual motorcycle race across their conjoined continents. The prize? An audience with the highly reclusive Adolf Hitler at the Victor's ball in Tokyo.

Yael, a former death camp prisoner, has witnessed too much suffering, and the five wolves tattooed on her arm are a constant reminder of the loved ones she lost. The resistance has given Yael one goal: Win the race and kill Hitler. A survivor of painful human experimentation, Yael has the power to skinshift and must complete her mission by impersonating last year's only female racer, Adele Wolfe. This deception becomes more difficult when Felix, Adele's twin brother, and Luka, her former love interest, enter the race and watch Yael's every move.

But as Yael grows closer to the other competitors, can she be as ruthless as she needs to be to avoid discovery and stay true to her mission?

Very Nice book.

I found the book Wolf by Wolf a very good reading, I enjoyed the story, the performance of the voice actor and how she makes different accents on voices.

Better than I expected

The story was inventive, descriptive and ended in an unexpected way which left me wanting to read the next book, but I will go for a hard copy next time. Although the narrator handled the international accents and changes of character flawlessly, I found the narration between dialogue to be monotonously monotone and felt it caused the story to drag depressingly. The tone of the story fit the bleak world of the setting, post WWII alternate history, but the narration needed some more inflection between dialogue. I had to make myself keep listening to the end. Fortunately, the story overall made it worthwhile.

Engrossing! Kept me hooked!

This story is so gripping and engrossing. I loved it. The narrator is fantastic. I can't wait to start book 2!

Gripping

gripping and heart rending story. narrator did a fantastic job. gonna have to buy book 2 asap! will probably buy physical copies, too!

excellent

The story was a very well told tale, captivating and exciting. The narration was excellent. I really appreciate the proper pronunciation of names and the accents were perfect.

Great story with interesting characters

LOVED this fast-paced story with excellent writing and good character development. I'd call it historical fiction, except there's more to it...a couple of romance and science fiction elements that manage to add to and not detract from the story. The main character is quite likeable, the motorcycle race is exciting, and the character interaction adds depth, not to mention the flashbacks/memories of the concentration camp. Highly recommend.

Gripping Historical Fantasy

The words historical fantasy as a descriptor are like an oxymoron , but in this case are accurate. This is post WW2, if Germany and Japan won. Throw in some fantastical results from a concentration camp experiment, add in a motorcycle race and boom! You have a hit.

Amazing, couldn't put it down.

Anne Frank meets Xmen.
This book was clean and easy to read. Can't wait to see what happens to Felix.

my first historical fiction

it was good for my first historical fiction book ever. I will definitely enjoy the second book

Great storyteller and awesome story!
