Wildling

Rate this book
She wasn’t made to be theirs. Now that they’ve found her, they’ll never let go.They say I was chosen. Touched by fire. Marked by fate.

But fate didn’t ask me first.

One minute I’m bleeding on asphalt. The next, I’m waking up in a stranger’s world—attacked by monsters I thought were myth and watched by four men like I’m something holy. Or dangerous.

Orion, with charm and chaos I can’t quite trust.

Xander, guarded by ice, who sees through every inch of my soul.

Ragnar, brooding and battle-scarred, carrying grief that could bury us both.

And Atlas, the storm-wrapped mystery hiding secrets within the shadows.

Now these four powerful gods won’t leave me alone. They say I’m their only way home—to a realm torn apart by divine war and plagued by daema hellbent on destroying everything.

The gods forgot about me. But now that they’ve found me, I’m not sure they’ll ever let me go.

I didn’t choose this power—and I sure as hell didn’t choose this life.

But I’ll choose what comes next.

WILDLING is the first installment in the Titan Series, a Why-Choose/Reverse Harem urban fantasy romance. If you love twisted mythology, supernatural magic, slow-burn spice, and dangerously devoted men who’d burn the world for their girl, this series is for you.

Intended for 18+ readers. Contains strong language, violence, dark themes, and explicit scenes

For a debut book, it thought it was really well written. I would’ve liked the story to progress faster as it was quite slow for the first 3/4 of the book. Not sure if I’ll continue this series as the fmc was not my favourite and honestly kind of unlikable. Also, why did the guys have to leave her alone when they were fighting the daemas? Literally every time she either got hurt or taken. 3 times from I remember. Do they not learn?? That was just an annoyance to read on my part.

Thank you Mars, you wonderful human for the ARC copy of Wildling.
This book was something else!
Urban fantasy / Why-choose at it's best, compelling characters with distinctive voices that each shine in their own way.

It was off to a slow start...but the writing just got better and better, and the story so much richer as it progressed. Brilliantly done, as Eve steps out of her beige world and into the unknown. Like seeing the world through a different lense brings everything into sharper focus...including the writing.

LOVED the magic system...the world feels so unique and untouched in a way I'm really excited about!

Thank goodness for why-choose, because these men!? How dare you!?

It reminded me of everything I love about YA fantasy books and the stories I fell in love with as a brand new baby reader. The new lore, secret worlds, hidden powers that make the 'chosen one' trope so compelling. But this is not YA, and guess what? We're grown ass women, so fuck a love triangle, we don't have to choose!

What a debut dear! You should be proud.

And I need book two, like yesterday. Please and thank you.

Wildling is out on KU on July 2nd, and you all need to go read it!

Living in a small town where your biggest problem is how your career is different from others not until near-death experiences and monsters straight out of nightmares start appearing. That’s exactly what happens to Eve. In the middle of all the events, she meets not just one, but four insanely good-looking guys. Gorgeous like gods.

This novel is a romantasy that blends heart-pounding action with supernatural romance. Think MCU meets Legion. Each character wields extraordinary powers, and the world-building will leave you in awe. To give you a sneak peek: it gives you chaos, destruction, and supernatural powers.

It follows the “why choose” trope, featuring four god-like men with distinct personalities that readers will fall for. Personally, I disliked Ragnar and Atlas at first as they were too intense and too hard to deal. But a big twist completely changed my mind. Now, they’re my favorites. I’m watching out for them in the next books.

The romance is a slow burn, but that last spicy scene was like fireworks. Unexpected, explosive, and absolutely worth the wait. It is a perfect tease for even steamier moments in future books.
It’s a solid 5 stars from me. The storyline is fresh and unique, and it keeps you hooked, making it impossible not to want more.

What can I say about this apart from I loved it. I would not normally look at an urban fantasy but saw why choose and I couldn't help myself.

This book revolves around Eve and cook in a diner, but after a car crash and being rescued by Orion (a titan), demon like creatures start to appear and seem to be hunting her. Eve has no clue what is happening and goes hunting for answers, and eventually with the other Titans, Xander, and Ragnar, they start unravel the mystery that is Eve.

This story completely surprised me as I said at the beginning not my usual genre. But Mars Madden didn't seem to over complicate the world building, simple but so effective. The characters were great, with Eve trying to understand who she really was when her normal life was taken away from her. Also each titan trying to understand the pull they felt towards Eve, as well as trying to deal with past events that had taken a toll on them.

This was a great debut for Mars Madden, I found it enjoyable, great pace and really easy read. Can not wait to find out what happens in Book 2.

Not bad…just decent

This one fell slightly flat for me. Eve’s character from the beginning is kind of infuriating. She was extremely stubborn, and not in an admirable way. It felt like she was constantly pushing people away, saying no to everything, and generally being difficult just to be difficult. I liked Orion but he seemed like two completely different people at times; we were constantly flipping between a serious and broody version then the golden retriever version. Ragnar was just a grade A jack*** the entire time, and some of the things he said to Eve were straight up verbal abuse. I liked Xander but the cold and calculated guy the author is saying he is has yet to be seen. He more so came off shy and guarded. Atlas, who was in it for like 30 seconds is just immediately treated like he’s been apart of the active storyline since the beginning with Eve already caring about him?? Also, why didn’t Eve (or anyone) even think about checking in on Louise, Lila, and Darcy after the Halloween party? The neighbors are dead as well and no one seems to care?

Overall an entertaining read but is lacking focus. Will read the second one for the plot!

This book needs more hype! You guys it was great!

-Reverse Harem
-Gods stuck on Earth
-FMC has hidden powers that could take them home
-Spooky scary creatures hunting her down
-Emotional damaged MMCs

It’s seriously such a fun read! If you can get past Ragnar and Atlas but I know we’ll end up loving them and you need some of the harem to not be won over so easily. Makes it all the better when they (hopefully fingers crossed) come together in the end…..pun intended. 😂 That was a bad joke. I saw book 2 comes out in 2026 and I really hope while I impatiently wait that this book garners more attention!

Yes Girl!

I love a MC who doesn’t just accept her fate!!! Like what do you mean you’re the key to a plot from another realm you knew nothing about, I’d be pissed too!! Orion is such a sweet lil cupcake who deserves the world and atlas well, there better be some serious groveling coming up
