I did not read the Amazon.com version of this story, which is good because apparently, those would collectively cost well over a hundred dollars! Rather, I got sucked by a misleading ad into a nearly interminable audio version on PocketFM, which at least makes so many episodes free on a daily basis that it's not a problem yet to simply wait for those. However, I have no idea where what is called one book here ends and the next begins.

I chose to try to access this particular story because it looked like it was going to be about a romance between two equally powerful werewolves, and the ad suggested that that the female character was the daughter of the moon goddess herself, to which recognition she was quickly going to awaken. While it's possible that that could still be true (I only finished about 245 of 521 episodes), the quick awakening didn't happen, and at some point I realized that what I skipped at the beginning to catch up to the point where the ad had ended may not have matched what I'd read in the ad. I had no interest in going back.

However, what that means is that the main attraction of this story has not been present for me at all.

The story unfolds unforgivably, ridiculously slowly. The typical obtuseness of the central couple is especially maddening when dragged out for so very, very long. I did not end up bothering to finish. Instead, I got to a point where I was satisfied enough with how far the couple has gotten, and it started to feel like the story was shifting to other characters. Such moneygrab writing that has no respect for the reader is incredibly off-putting.

Don't read unless you are willing to pay $170 to finish it.

This book is nothing but a money trap. It's sad when a great book gets broken up like this and you have to keep paying to finish it.

Ok, this is the oddest review I’ve ever left in my life.
1. Spicy books are normally not my genre, but I was intrigued after seeing the stories on tik tok. Total let down as the book was nothing like the Tik Tok stories.
2. The story itself is pretty entertaining and enjoyable. I will continue to read the series.
3. Why the two star review then?? I would love to tell ya!
4 Who is editing these books? Is it the authors dog? Perhaps an illiterate prisoner is getting money on their books to edit the book? I have never in my life read such a poorly edited book. In one chapter, the author writes the name “Talia” approx 30 times in just three pages. The spelling is atrocious and the structure of the book is totally wrong. While I enjoyed reading it, I was equally as annoyed by the editing.
5. So many insertions of “don’t steal this book” paragraphs. I paid for the damn book. Take that crap out of it.
6. When I read a book, I instantly imagine the characters looks. The author is such a control freak that they want to tell us in constant “authors notes” to go and see the pictures of the characters.
7. I’ll keep reading the series but after that, I will never read anything by this company or person again. Very sophomoric

A good book with good premise.

You really feel for Talia and hope the Alpha stops being so stupid. There are alot of ways the Alpha could of handled the different situations but he just froze and did nothing.

This is the only ppc novel I have ever let myself get willingly sucked into. Yes, the grammar is bad. Yes, the editing is absolute horse shit. Yet somehow, none of that mattered to me because I absolutely loved the story. It’s a very lengthy story and very slow moving. However, I never found it to be boring. I loved the slow burn and all the twists and turns. There are a lot of fantastic side characters along with some you love to hate, and the world building is pretty impressive. But the main draw for me were the two MC’s, Damon and Talia. I loved them both equally. Their love story is too precious for words. They face a lot of challenges, as a couple and individually, but their strong love always prevails. This is not a rejected mate story. Damon may have been a man-ho before he found his mate Talia, but after they meet, he very quickly realizes that he has eyes for her alone. He falls first, and he falls HARD. Damon loves Talia fiercely. He finds her in a bad situation while at another pack. She is an orphan and has been abused by her pack for 19 yrs. Because of this, she has lost her wolf and can’t feel the mate bond like Damon can. He rescues her, gives her a home at his pack, and helps her recover both physically and emotionally. They grow close, fall in love, and eventually her wolf slowly starts to wake up and she can finally feel the bond.
Their strong bond and deep love for one another is what made this story so beautiful. That, along with all the fully fleshed out side character friends/allies, and the exciting high stakes plot lines with lots of twists, made it a very enjoyable read.

Some of the worst writing I’ve read in a long time, yet so compelling! If the author had an editor, she’d be unstoppable. Even though every sentence had at least one grammatical error and most contained at least two different tenses, I couldn’t put it down!

Or at least, I couldn’t until I hit the pay wall and realized it would cost over $150 to unlock all the chapters on WebNovel or $205 to get the full series on Kindle. I wouldn’t pay that for the best book in the world, let alone this trash.

I am really impressed by the author’s ability to make me want to keep reading despite the godawful writing, though! That’s a superpower. I’m not even into werewolves or romantasy, but I would have binged the shit out of this book.

Strangely, according to the author, someone stole the book, stuck a new AI-written beginning on it, used an AI voice, and created an audiobook out of it. I got here from the ad for that, which if anything was even worse than the original yet still so compelling! What gives??

I’m not interested in supporting stolen work, nor listening to a very slow story eight minutes a day for the rest of my life, so write me down as a “nope” for that. But so weird to steal something so shitty and make it even worse, yet have it still somehow turn out so compelling!

Whew! I finally finished this one… took me nearly a MONTH, given that this webnovel was 1,072 chapters long (and the website so riddled with ads that I had to put my phone on airplane mode every time I started a new chapter)!!

But honestly? One of the best written wolf shifter novels I’ve read so far. Literally! I mean, the tone is more on par with fanfiction, but otherwise the grammar and syntax were all there. There was a consistent substitution for 2 words that I noticed ‘how’ instead of ‘what’ and ‘keep’ instead of ‘put’ but was only present in dialogue. Kinda weird, but overall, such a huge upgrade from previous shifter web novels I’ve read. Not to mention that the plot was complex and engaging, with a full cast of interesting characters who were all adequately fleshed out for a story of this size.

Ah so we are all probably here after the tiktok short....
This is definitely serial web novel, wattpad material. It's long, drawn out, and full of angst. But like every soap opera we need closure. This closure is finally found over 900 webpages later.
The story has everything you'd expect from an omegaverse magic story. There's also a good amount of spice. An addicting way to kill time for sure and could be a cohesive story if its polished up and summarized.

Don’t waste your money

This book is a slow build that leaves you hanging. Bad editing and just not well written. You get to the end of the book and the story just stops in what I assume the author thought was a cliff hanger to make you purchase the rest of the story. Will not be buying the rest of the story!

3 stars. I don’t know when I started it but me and my mom read it together. Good overall story but 27 BOOKS TOTAL. It kinda moved slow but it had its good parts first fantasy book but the series seems dragged out. Good Talia and Damon need to grow as individual and I hope Talia doesn’t stay this shy weak girl the whole time. Also what is this age gap 10-20 years?

underwhelming

The sample I read in an ad was better (yeesh, I should’ve known). It’s possible this is a completely different story, but all the names were the same as in the ad sample (which had a slightly different story and much better grammar). I won’t be buying any of the other books.

A great book 1 with amazing female lead and male lead, that is filled with action, fun, romance and humour.
All characters really come alive and you meet many different types.

Looking forward to see the next part of the book being on Amazon and read how it goes on.

good but confused

Confused because this first book doesn’t match the ad I read. So I need to read the next books to see what happens
Other than that I am Enjoying this story very much.

Needs a Decent Editor

The story itself is good and the characters are interesting. A decent editor would have caught the many spelling, grammar and false auto correct words allowing for a better flow.

A Stubborn Alpha

I love the story line. English is obviously not the author’s native language so this one definitely needs an editor but I’m trying to ignore that and I’m on to book 2.

Engaging Read!

On to the next one…

Am so relieved that this novel is available via Kindle. Thank you Kindle!

So much more convenient than going thru a reading app and paying for coins to read.

Not quite a Cinderella story

Very intriguing book. I don't normally read supernatural books but I started it and couldn't put it down. Well written and a story that I hope will turn around and end well

Loving this book, too bad it’s so short. Got tired of waiting for it on a book app and bought it for 5 bucks. There are a few of these titles out there with the same names but all jumbled. Talia has white hair then coppery… so confusing. However, I found the correct one by RedSonja

Expensive

Good book until I realized that 36 books at close to $5 a book is around $180. I didn’t pay that much for all the Harry Potter books and most of them were hard cover books!

I read part one and was forced to download an app called Webnovel. The beginning of this serial is spicy and violent. I will try to read the rest because I want to see if the wolf that Talia has comes out.

The books could have been longer as 36x£5 is a lot. Make it 5-10 max. In the beginning it was interesting but after that it became just too much of Talia and Damon. When George rejected Marcy I stopped reading it. Happy end only for “poor Talia”.

Really good book

I love the storyline, but I am started to get a little bored with all of the "overthinking" involved with the Alpha.

Meh

I like the story, but the single book ends halfway through where a book should naturally end. So cash grabby. Also, it struggles to entangle.

Love the story line. Do not like that there is 37 book published for about 6 bucks each. Very big money grab. Do not recommend for this reason.
