Bound

The Onyx Wolves #1

by Raven K. Asher

Parker is a wolf, a human-wolf hybrid to be precise. She is a young female alpha of the great Onyx pack, a pack that currently rules over all of the other surrounding packs.
Parker is just fine living out her days normally with her two best human friends Harley and Ariel. They had become her pack.
They were all she really wanted as a pack until her father goes behind her back and invites some new wolves into their school
When Gage, Rowan, Brock, Dillon, and London walk into her life she had no idea how fast things would change.
Secrets and hidden pasts come out.
Much needed goodbyes are said.
She falls for the unexpected and just as they are about to announce their relationship and take it to the next level things quickly go downhill.
Lies take hold as one young alpha male decides to take things into his own hands when he doesn’t get his way.
Everything quickly spins even farther out of control.
Parker's true love and mate are suddenly miles away, taken to the Island, lost forever unless she can break free and rescue him.
It takes her on a long journey, one where she meets unexpected friends and Hunters who turn out to be completely different than what she had been taught as a young pup.
With help from friends and family she will fight hard to break into the Island to free her love, but it’s only the beginning of her fight to stay alive.
When tragedy strikes will Parker even want to continue on?
Will someone pick her back up, or will she give up completely?
Only she can decide.


Excerpt: “That’s usually the way love goes, Parker. One day you hate them and the next you can’t figure out a single reason why you stayed away for so long in the first place.” - Derek

I wasn't sure about this book since there weren't any reviews yet. It sounded like something I would really like though.
I loved it! But have tissues ready. The story was full of the feels. The author did such a great job capturing the reader's emotions.
The editing was pretty good, with minimal mistakes. The plot was interesting, and I read it in one sitting.
This bachelorette style shifter book has it all. Action, mystery, romance, supernaturals, friendships, emotions, did I mention romance? There is sex in this book, FYI.
I highly recommend this upper ya read for shifter lovers. Five sound glittery stars!

Another great series starter that I couldn't put down. I was almost done and skipped to the end...don't do it, you will regret it immensely. I loved the main character for how strong she was written. I applaud the author for making me unsure about each and every one of the young alphas that come to charm her. I didn't know who to root for but I'm glad she found her soulmate in the end. I just was not expecting the ending and I will read on as I am totally addicted to finding out what is in store for our heroine. I just wish you wouldn't have done what you did at the end. Why? I guess I'll find out when I read the next books. I loved how she created her own pack and how the author never gave the reader clues about the other characters even though in the end everything make sense without the normally required hints. The world she created was believable for the strife, the power hungry, the hidden agendas, etc.

Parker resents being a human-wolf hybrid. There are just too many rules, some of which make no sense at all. Things were great until her father brought in the Redwood, Blackwood, and Shadow packs for her to find a mate. Parker had no intentions of being forced to pick a mate. She fell in love once and had him ripped from her. She had no intention of that happening again.
When her wolf falls in love with one of the alphas brought for her to choose from, things go south quickly. Everything she thought she knew was a lie. Now she had to run for her life and try to find her one true mate in order to stop it.
Raven K. Asher is a new author to me. This is an intense book and beginning of a series I intend to follow closely. Emotions run high as the storyline and characters pull you into the story with anticipation waiting to see what happens. What an intriguing story teller this author is. One I'm proud to give a 5 star rating.

I struggled a little bit to get through this book. But over all I'm gonna say it was a good read. Not the best but good. There are quite a few holes in the plot that just don't make sense to me. One of them being that the main character supposedly is in her mid to late 20s because wolves age differently than humans but is still going to school with 17-year-olds. Just got a little stuck on that part. But if you can get over some of the plot holes and some of the events that just don't fit right it's overall a good story. Couple little twist and turns throughout. I think this author is on her way but just needs to make a few critiques.

I love these stories by Raven K. Asher I’m a big fan of hers and this story Bound is a great start to a new series. I shed quite a few tears with this story it’s about Parker a female alpha hybrid wolf, she had a couple of friends that were human who she considered her pack. Her father interferes and brings young alpha’s into her life, Parker falls in love but he is taken away and now Parker is on a mission. I loved this story but I cried at the end not because there’s a cliffhanger, if you want to know what happened then you will need to get this book. A fantastic story a 5 plus ⭐️ read and I highly recommend this book it’s definitely well worth the read.

I loved it. This was full of a range of emotions!! I was up and down, side to side. I don't think I can read it without a box of Kleenex. It was amazing. Parker while a bit wishy washy in her feelings was a great character. She just needed to fixate on one person. Of course in shifter societies that does not always matter. I loved the twists in the book, and the character development. I cannot wait for book two.

It's like musical chairs with these alpha wolves and their mates! And just when I fell in love with Gage. Oh no....I'm so sad. I'm not happy with the cliffhanger ending but there are others that I really like and I want to see where the story goes from here. No matter what happened, this book still rates a solid five stars from me!

I really enjoyed the story. It was a bit different than a lot of werewolf stories. The only problem I had was Parker was a bit of a wuss to be an alpha in my opinion. Alphas do not rely on others for their strength. She cries too much. Alphas are strong, she is more of a beta in my opinion. But it is a good story.

I’ve read several books written by Raven K. Asher; she has done an excellent job at writing an interesting book. I will definitely be reading more of her books.

The story line hooks you from the very beginning and keeps you hooked throughout the entire book.

I loved the chemistry between the characters.

[Jennifer Clark · Rating 4 out of 5]

I had mixed feelings about this book. I enjoy paranormal and was delighted the author touched on the Reverse Harem theme. There was definitely times I wanted to knock some heads together in regards to some of the characters. I was really rooting of this couple, but was heartbroken in the end.

I will continue reading the next book because I want to see how she perseveres

[Tanya · Rating 5 out of 5]

She is half wolf and half human and she is an alpha of her pack. She is just happy with her two men. Her father goes behind her back to bring more wolves into the pack. There are secrets which will be revealed. What are they? How will it all work out? See what will happen

Not a happily ever after

The main character has something that makes the men around her want to stay. Nope it's not a harem and she does find love. This story ends with an interesting twist. Captivating read.
