Celestion Wolves #1
Celestial Wolves
Terra is supposed to be safe.
But I’m one of the unlucky ones. Of the thirteen human women in this cell, I’m the only one snatched straight from Earth. And everyone knows once the Skulchers have you, rescue is hopeless…
But we hatch a plan to escape. The problem? The vessel we’ve stolen is a heap of junk, and we need to make an emergency landing onto an uncharted planet. As we enter the atmosphere, the shuttle rips in half, and our party is scattered into four groups. Surviving the crash is one thing, but finding the others? Impossible.
Of my group, I volunteer to go out into the snowy, mountainous terrain to find the others. But I’m not the only thing out here in this endless snow. When a giant, three-eyed wolf rescues me from another animal’s vicious attack, it seems I’ve gained a hiking companion. But when the wolf transforms into a tall, muscular alien hunk with a gem in his forehead, it’s suddenly hard to focus on finding the others when thoughts of his blue lips on mine consume me...
Perfect for fans of ICE PLANET BARBARIANS who are also looking for a little wolf-shifter action!

Despite reading a few reviews that disliked the similarities to Ice Planet Barbarians or that there was a language barrier for 60% of the book, I honestly disagree. Those were things that I really enjoyed and liked about this book! Ice Planet Barbarians is original in its storyline and hooked a lot of people into the alien romance genre, myself included. This book takes some similarities to that story which makes it feel nostalgic in some ways, but it also throws its own fresh and new twists into things. There are no cooties in this book. It's like a snowy tundra on earth, where human women can adapt.
While there are some icey planet similarities, I loved the originality in the Wolf Shifters and their culture. The whole third eye aspect was really interesting and unique too. It really helped Axyll and Evie communicate on sensing things, despite the language barrier. I loved their connection and how attentive Axyll was to Evie's needs. The whole wolf hierarchy was well written and interesting to see in alien culture. I also really liked their tie to the moon and their whole religious aspect. I think it's neat how their culture differs from the other wolf packs religious and cultural beliefs.
One last thing I want to note is how badass these women are! They've been through a lot and are so resilient! I can't wait to read on and see how things unfold with their search and rescue for the other women who were separated, in the next few books.
If you love Mars Needs Women, Fated Mates and IPB Vibes Meets Wolf Shifters, then this is the book for you!

I've given a lot of thought to how I would review this one. I had mixed feelings about it the whole time. So I'm just going to come out and say it. This book was "Ice Planet Barbarians" but with wolf shifters.
The story was about 90% identical. Enslaved, human females crash on ice planet. Alpha finds the one sent to get help. They are fated mates. There are smaller caves the locals use when traveling. They eat their food raw and are grossed out by cooked food. They rescue the other women on the ship. The other males find fated mates, but don't say anything right away. The ship has a translator. The locals live in a large cave, with a hot spring included.
There were some differences, but this was basically a copyright infringement. Even some of the names had similarities. There are two reasons I rated three stars. One, the author did have some moments of unique storyline that were entertaining. Two, I finished the book. But overall, I'm disappointed that even in the author's note at the end, she made it seem like she created a brand new world. Nope. It's just rebranded. Maybe three stars is too generous, but I did enjoy the story. I just won't be reading more in this series. I'll stick with the original IPB.

Im so happy to have been able to review this book! I just couldn't put it down as it had the scifi and shifters. Dual POV. Protective MMC. World building and character development. Spice. I can't wait for the next book as it left on wanting to know more.
Evie has been kidnapped by a group of aliens with other woman. Soon enough they find away to escape and well things dont go as planned as the ship they took crashes them on a very snowy planet and they are separated from half the ship. Evie brave enough leaves to walk through the knee deep snow to find the other woman. But comes across a wolf and than later an alien but soon enough she finds out he is a shifter. Language barrier yep. Strong appeal for each other.

I didn't mind the similarity to IPB. I do love a wolf shifter. What I wasn't a huge fan of was first,
Otherwise, I liked the story and will continue to the next book.

Fate mating Aliens who worship the moon and shift into wolves?? Swoon!! Which… admittedly… is never something I thought I would get giddy at.
It took a couple moments before I realised how to read their language, and after that it was fun translating the conversations. The way the Celetans hear English had me grinning, amused.
I really enjoyed it, and kinda wish there was more of our Evie and Axyll’s story before we delve into the other’s. But I’m eager for Juk and Lisa’s, and everyone else’s.
Oh!! Also… at the end where there’s the names and info on all the characters… was Screk’s name purposefully left out?? He seems super sweet and want him to find love soon!! Though not with Melanie. Give her to Brex.

I enjoyed this book quite a bit. There was a lot of world building and plot to go along with the romance and steam. None of the characters fell flat. Even the side ones that we didn't get to see much of yet had personalities. I do wish we got more of an epilogue with the two main characters, but that's because I'm greedy and really loved seeing them together. I liked that Evie felt the pull towards Axyll, even though she's human, which understandably confused her quite a bit. I'm interested to see what happened to the other women after the crash.
January 14, 2024
I loved the world building and how different it was from other space/alien romances I have read. It was refreshing to read about a different type of alien and struggles Evie and her group are facing. Of course the language barrier is a huge trope for alien books and I liked how this one was remedied. I enjoyed the characters and getting to know the different pack members. I wasn't so optimistic with Lisa attitude at the end, but I'm excited to see what's next!

This was my first venture into a sci fi novel and let me just say it didnt dissapoint it kept me intrigued from start to ending.
This book centres on evie a girl from terra who has been kidnapped by skulchers together with 12 other woman she manages to escape but all os not roses when the ship seperates and crashes leaving them in a strange universe and away from each other.
Evie sets off to find the other women getting lost along the way and meeting the alpha alien wolf of one of the local packs even with their language difficulties they still manage to fall in love but as always its not easy and im looking forward to reading the next book to find out what happens with lisa and the rest of the girls.

So I was really interested in reading this book after reading the short story: Celestial Rescue that was part of the anthology Tales of Howloween. Same universe (setting) but different main characters. This story is about an alien wolf shifter, that finds a human female after she and her companions crash in an icy planet. That's when we get the clash of different species (and when I say "clash" is "clash") *insert wink* There is adventure, technology, creatures, shifters, space travel and spice (and more spice). I loved this book and can't wait for the next book to watch how the other characters develop!!
September 14, 2025
A fun premise, but the language barrier trope isn't one of my favorites. I'm always a little squicked out when characters start getting intimate without being really able to communicate with one another - especially because it always seems to lead to one of them thinking they're married or mated afterwards! Also, I know it had to happen for the plot, but I cannot believe that the other women would have let Evie head off in the WRONG DIRECTION without at least running after her and shouting and waving. Ugh.
I got this in a free Stuff Your Kindle event. The next couple sounds promising, but I think I'll see if my library has it and borrow the books as the mood strikes.

Good story and characters.
Very similar to Ice Planet Barbarians but with a little less spice, but with shifters.
Really enjoyed the first few scenes with the MMC, I liked that mini-trope (not going to say what it is as I'm trying to avoid spoilers).
I did like the FMC and several of the side characters, and I'm looking forward to reading those shared-world follow-ups as they'll be a little more different from this fairly common storyline, and they'll answer some of the questions not answered in this one.

Plot- or character-driven? Plot
Strong character development? No
Loveable characters? Yes
Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus? N/A
An okay book, nothing super crazy happens. There is a lot of miscommunication and suspicion throughout between many characters.
It’s a near insta-love story between an alien wolf shifter and a human who escaped after being abducted by a different race.

Fantastic
I was recommended to read this book and at first I thought the book didn't have a lot of views nor did it have a lot of reviews but I thought I would give it a go nonetheless and OMG wow this book is amazing I absolutely love all of the characters, I love the descriptions used to build the world in the story up. I seriously can't wait for book 2. If you like the ice planet Barbarians books then this is for you. Seriously give it a go you will not be disappointed.

Fascinating
Fantastic world building. Evie is a strong female kidnapped from her planet and crashing in to a snowy environment. She heads out to find the others and hopefully food but encounters a huge wolf with two tales and three eyes.He shifts in to a human form .Despite communication issues they bond.Interesting story.

I definitely see the similarities to Ice Planet Barbarians. It’s all the same vibes but with alien werewolves instead. It’s different enough that I don’t feel like I’m reading a knockoff though and it’s enjoyable so far. I’m intrigued by the interpack relations and hope there’s some good overarching plot points about bringing in the other packs. Promising start

Wolf Shifters meets outerspace to create a phenomenal new romance style. In this book, we follow Evie as she is a kidnapped Terran trying to survive day by day. Until everything changes one day! Great read and a new genre perfect for so many. I'm excited for the next book in this story.

I skimmed most of this book. It didn't suck but it wasn't very interesting and the characters didn't pull me in at all. It felt drawn out without much actually happening. The sex was okay but three testicles seemed unnecessarily weird.

A fantastic read!
The author has come up with an interesting idea for wolf shifters and aliens. The story is well written and the plot line will keep you engaged. This is a tale about survival, and finding love in unexpected places.

Alien romance with alien wolf shifters. But not your average wolf shifter, because, you know, they’re aliens.
I loved the storyline and could picture everything that was happening. A great introduction to the series.

great story but needs editing
Great story, great characters, very creative. But this book needs some serious editing. There are a ton of grammar, spelling and syntax errors. Could be an excellent book if these are fixed.

Excellent start to a new series! I really enjoyed this book. It gave me nostalga for IPB but had it's own unique characters, world building and tropes. The conflict in this book was intriguing and realistic. The mystic behind the third eye was entirely unique! Would highly recommend!

I really enjoyed this book. It has everything, world building, action, spice and aliens. Characters were great, I love protective MMC. I will continue reading this series.

If you loved Ice Planet Barbarians this is up your valley! I 100% recommend reading it. The detail and gestures used to understand one another was fantastic.

Amazing
I thought I would just read a little bit of it before I took a nap, but the nap never happened. I couldn't put it down and finished the entire book. It was a great read.

Mi placer culpable de esta vida son los libros de humanas que terminan abandonadas en un lugar frío y un alíen la rescata y resuelta que es su mate 💙💙jajaja 🤭😆
Evei es secuestrada de la tierra, y luego de intentar escapar llega a un planeta frío e inhóspito, sale en busca de ayuda y cuando está por llegar a una cueva es atacada por un estilo de leopardo, pero es salvada por un lobo 🌝🌝
Axyll es el alfa de su manada. Anda en busca de una de los suyos cuando se encuentra a una extraña criatura siendo atacada, decide ayudarla y para su sorpresa es su alma gemela 🙂↕️🫶🏻 Axyll se presenta ante ella en su forma humanoide, y aunque no se pueden entender sabe que ella es la elegida para él💙✨
Amigas, la historia me entretuvo demasiado 🥰 aunque si es similar a IPB tiene su propio toque y logras enganchar con la historia 🤭 además que este par son unos tiernos 🫶🏻 si les gustan los libros de aliens y de lobitos 🌝 este es para ustedes 😉

Very similar to Ice planet barbarians, which is a personal favourite. This falls a bit short, even though the characters are actually more fleshed out in this series.
