Metawolf #1 & 2

Meta & Meta Origins

Rate this book
A different take on the traditional M/M werewolf romance topic: less romantic, less traditional, more disturbing and with more conniving wolves, vampires and humans. -- Book1 and 2 of the MetaSeries.

---

Book 1:
Colt Parker is a socially incompetent college student. So he is not surprised that he is rejected by an attractive red-haired hunk named Prime and his friends in his business class. When a frat prank goes wrong, he learns that these men are not what they seem to be and that somebody wants Colt dead for no obvious reason. Prime's way to protect Colt is too disturbing. But Colt's hesitation to agree to it puts him, Prime and his friends into serious danger ...

Book 2:
Not relying on a perilous “cease-fire” with the local wolf shifter pack and vampires, Colt, Prime and their pack are forced to face the demons of their past to understand their future. Hopefully, this will allow them to find out why wolves and vampires still want to kill Colt, what their unusual pack’s destiny is, and where to find the elusive White Wolf promising peace and safety. Unfortunately, the past is very much different from what they thought and the truth threatens to rip the pack apart exactly as their enemies intend – if they only knew who was the enemy.

WARNING: Only for adult readers. Includes politically incorrect opinions, BDSM sex, suicide, and uniform fetishes.

Почти дотянула до конца, но на 80% сорвалась. Даже не знаю, с чего начать... Инста, полигамия, противоречивые персонажи, хаотичный сюжет, кинки, которые не заводят, и неуместный секс. У главгера в 90% случаев стоит. Я не преувеличиваю. Стоит от взглядов, запахов, случайных фраз... у него стоит на 4 мужиков и младшего брата одного из них. Не поймите неправильно - я обожаю развратные вещи, но тут не склеилось :( Не верится мне в то, что стая оборотней отдаётся какому-то дрищу буквально по щелчку пальцев, каким бы умным и дарованным судьбой он ни был.

METALOGUE
 
“Dobrze spać, stary!” the nurse sobbed silently, leaving the cell with moist eyes.
The old man was dead.
After more than five decades of being locked up to protect him from himself, and the world from him, he had finally taken his life. himself, and the world from him, he had finally taken his life.
Dr. Łowca closed the file. It was nearly as old as the man. Not at all digitalized; nobody had taken the time to do it. The patient would soon be dead anyway, they had estimated.
The man had had a history of suicide attempts. Anything that could be used to end his life he had used. Scars all over his emaciated body evidenced every single failed attempt.
Today he had succeeded. Finally.
 
The patient had never recovered from the serious delusions of his early adult life. Believing there was a world of vampires and werewolves. Thinking he would be part of it. If only he could get ‘back.’ By killing himself.
The patient had tried to attack a co-worker a long time ago; trying to stab his pen into his eye. Instead of prison, he had been locked up in this institution. Far away from his parents overseas – now dead as well.
Dr. Łowca had inherited the case from Dr. Cień, now long retired. They had never succeeded in healing this patient. As sane as he had appeared most of the times, he had never given up on his belief there was another world out there; a better world to which he belonged; and this life was all wrong; had been wrong since the day he had grown up in that remote village in the Southwest of this country.
The man with his unkempt short gray hair, wild goatee and the worn pajama lay on his bed with an angelic smile, clinging to some washed out pink piece of old clothing. He seemed to have finally gone where he had always wanted to go. After decades he had succeeded.
 
The first weak light broke through the barred window, illuminating the lake in the distance, the mountains, the green grass; showing Silesia in all of its glory.
When they put the man into a body bag, a deep sigh left Dr. Łowca’s mouth. He picked up a little paper from the floor. The writing had nearly vanished; the corners were bent, the folds broken. A faint drawing of a white rose with a haiku:
‘You thought to be none
The one you want to become
Will never be done.’
Will never be done.’
He put it into the folder and closed it. And his hand wrote the final entry.
He whispered: “Wherever you are now, old man, I wish you’ll find what you were looking for.”

“Can I pass, honey?” the nurse asked to start packing the old man’s stuff into one of the garbage bags.
 
What if your wolves never come for you?










Seriously a half baked ending is better than this one, this entire series are just some dirty old man's fantasies. Read at your own risk, cause if seriously I read the ending before I would never ever read this book.

This is the first two volumes of the ( METAWOLF SERIES )

Okay I'm not gonna front and say that these book didn't take me for a loop and to be honest at times I just wasn't feeling it . These book's are so far off the beaten path as far as gay shifter books go that I was left feeling unsure as to it I even wanted to finish the first book . These books can be very uncomfortable to read especially because it seemed that colt's mother purposely wanted too these wolves to be treated in my opinion disrespectful . For the simple fact that she manipulated these wolves and made sure that they would be Dominated by her son in a way that went against their nature what kind of sick and twisted game is she playing . There's too many players and not enough information vague prophecy why all the games I get know why MarryAnne got mad although it was a stupid plot point because Colt didn't know anything about his parents or who he was . The one that I hate is too much DRAMA AND NOT ENOUGH PLOT don't get me wrong there are a lot of thing that these book's get right and I do like the main characters especially Colt . But I'm getting the chosen one vibe from Colt and if I'm understanding this right Colt could go either way his mother's people (Vampire) or his fathers whom I'm assuming are Wolves . As for why he was raised the way he was I'm guessing plot driven soon the future king were the young common guy finds out that he's really the heir to the kingdom . Then the question becomes what Kingdom and who benefits anyway by the end of book two I was really starting too understand where this was going so I will continue to read this series even though it ended on a all too familiar CLIQUE ENDING .

Not for me

So, this isn’t a bad book but there were things I had major problems with. I only read the first book and even parts of that I skimmed over.

First off, there’s A LOT of business college information/jargon in this, especially in the beginning. It’s really unnecessary to the plot and isn’t interesting in the least.

Secondly, and this is a major one for me, there are things said by a number of characters that seem pretty misogynistic. Yes, these guys are gay but they can be gay without women-hating. They respond with “gross” to anything remotely sexual involving a women, insult people by calling them bitches, sluts, and girly, and insult female character for flirting and ovulating (which they can smell)

Thirdly, the sex scenes are strange. They talk graphically sometimes but the sex is actually weirdly glossed over in parts. You know how in a PG-13 movie you’ll see the couple making out and stuff and then the scene will fade out and then when you see the couple again their snuggling post-coital. That’s what it’s like.

Lastly, the pack revolves around Colt (their meta), which is fine. I don’t mind a poly relationship but the wolf shifters are all virgins and value purity for some reason. They even have Colt put cock cages, or whatever, on them, which they never take off. So, even when Colt is having sex with them they never orgasm. Not appealing for me. They seem to enjoy sex but something about this just rubs me the wrong way. Maybe it’s just not my kink, I don’t know.

Oh! One more thing! I don’t usually nitpick over editing because I think some people are overly critical about this, but there are more than just a few editing mistakes. There are actually quite a few.

The story was awesome. !!
I don't want my words to follow to detract too much from the fact that the storyline, the action, and the overall flow was great.
But.....
I expect a good story to read well. When I read a well written story, I am subsumed into it as I become the main character. I don't see the words, I just live the story.
This book was so full of misspelled words, missing adverbs, mixed tenses, wrong adjectives...
It was hard to read. It constantly knocked me out of the story. Instead of living the action, I was forced to view it as an outsider. Conversations in the book didn't read the way people actually talk with each other. There were too many missing words, wrong structure, etc.

Really. == what happened to having an editor...

If you clean it up and re-release it, it would be worthy of all the praise the other reviewers have heaped upon it.
I'll still buy and read the next book - sigh...

...and I'm not an English teacher - just a simple scientist, but none of my teachers would have given me above a C - even at the junior high-school level.

One of you readers should volunteer to help make this book great.

Great story but

This is a great story, but the grammar errors! Everywhere! Wrong words, incorrect punctuation, poor sentence structure, just horrible. Where was the editor? It took conscious effort to ignore and correct in my mind as I read. But the story is great. I would rate it 5 stars if the reading was not so painful at times. I will grudgingly continue with the series because I want to know what happens. Also, I was turned off by the constant reference to boners. The character, Colt, is turned on by his wolves, got it, enough already. I liked Colt, but not his sexist and homophobic tendencies. The author really made the main character hard to like. Saying that, I loved the loyalty of the pack and really liked the mystery, twists and turns of the story. I will read the next book, but I will read something better written before to ease my strained mind.

Freaking AMAZING read...

Couldn't put it down... (TWO late nights in a row... 5 hours sleep before work isn't pretty!)

I absolutely recommend this... There are a couple of things that niggled at me, but they are mostly around grammar and context, which I think might be related to a possible ESL and also some thoughts that the author might feel where I don't agree. BUT having said all that, he is entitled to his opinion, it doesn't change the fact just how amazing this story is....

This author has committed to making not just a world but some absolutely fantastic characters. Even the 'bad' people are created so well. It just doesn't fall down on any swords for the sake of plot, character or world building...

I can't impress my thanks to the author enough for his amazing hard work.

So this book is pretty average romance with some sex, and a start of a 8 book series. If you expect that the sequels will be like this one, don't read the series till the end, don't recommend to read it.

It's propelled by a prophecy which needs to be helped every step of the way, also it's too long with unnecessary flashbacks and conversations that don't need to happen, and finally at the end series indeed goes very *very* meta and all the long and arduous events you've read about amount to nothing. You know that disappointment from Matrix trilogy which got worse and more boring each time and fizzled at the end after a stronger start? Yeah, the series is that kind of experience, it's plainly very self indulgent with author enjoying twists more then experience

This did a pretty good job setting up the series but sometimes it seemed like some of the writing was fluffed up with needless backstory. Something that upon reading further in the series only gets worse. It's odd because most of the books have a build-up to the final scene and then the finale of each book is rather lackluster. This book is getting a little higher rating because it is undoubtedly the best of the series as far as actual writing. The premise was promising but the execution leaves something to be desired.

Really?!? Virgins and chastity??

Talk about selfish, Colt! And what kind gay man is he? He is the only one allowed to top all these men and not let them do so in return not to one Another? I give a point for thinking outside the box but it really is a total nerd fantasy. Never mind how this will work as the pack grows, he would have to service everyone. Come on!
The back story of something trying to kill him is interesting. I do want to know who is behind this.

Werewolves and Vampires

A book for people with open minds. A story, cleverly crafted that includes domination, submission and lots in between. A story of love, of duty, of self discovery and ultimately a story that leaves you looking for more.

A new look at shifters.

This book gives a new view to wolf shifters. I loved the imagination and how the author showed his view of what a Meta is. Add in vampires and this was so good. There were a few editing problems but they really didn't bother me.

Such an Excellent Blend of Thriller and Paranormal

Love the twisting of tropes, the underdog coming out on top, and the breakneck pacing!
Looking forward to the next book.

Nothing and I mean nothing will prepare you for what you are about to read. I mean that in a great way. The author took every idea, every fantasy that I'd previously read about vampire and werewolves and smashed it to bits. Then he built it back up, taking me into a world that I was totally unprepared for yet reluctant to leave.
This series is well written and so smart and the author takes the time to build his characters. They maybe wolves and vampires, but they are human with faults and strengths that both amaze and alarm. We get to know them as they get to know each other. Just when you think you know what there is to know you realize that a mystery is unfolding. And what a mystery it is. Who is Colt? Why is this super smart nerd so important? Why do the wolves including their Alpha turn to him? How do the Vampires figure into this plot?
The blurb says the romance is less traditional. True, but oh my god it is so good.
It asks questions of you, forces you to look differently at the usual were-tropes and demands that you pay attention. You will find yourself invested in the outcome of the growth and conflicts of these men.
You will be reading the next chapter, then the next and the next because you simply won't be able to put it down.
I promise this is a great addition to any Werewolf/Vampire library. Doubly so, if you like men in uniform. One word: Marines! Yup...
