Forged Wolf by Lucia AshtaMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Black Magic Wolf
I’ve not read anything by this author before and took a chance when I liked the look of the blurb, started the sample and couldn’t stop.
Zasha is a fighter. Her Dad and uncles own and run an MMA gym and she has trained there her whole life and makes her living as a fighter. This is an alternate reality paranormal romance. In this world, the supernatural is out in the open but is treated with suspicion, distaste and fear. The mixed human/supernatural town of Flaming Arrow is a dark and dangerous place to live and Zasha has always been careful of her surroundings, but the first time she isn’t she’s taken by a dark magician and changed using dark magic into a werewolf.
Taken and forced into captivity and shoved inside an arena to fight to the death against a natural-born wolf shifter she won’t fight against such an injured wolf. Her compassion earns her temporary safety, but everyone knows dark magic changed wolves will always go mad and die within days of being changed.
Zasha is a really interesting character, but this book is told from multiple POV, one of which is the ‘villain’, who believes absolutely that he’s on the side of right. The other POV is Quannah who is the pack Beta and he is fascinated with Zasha.
I like how this book doesn’t dance around the suspicions that run rife in a situation like this, where everyone is in a new and dangerous situation. No one really trusts each other, but they are open to being persuaded because they are good people, on the whole (well, except for the villain).
It’s quite a short book but it’s a great start to the series and has a bit of a cliffhanger but not of Kindle throwing levels. Still, I’m going to go and download the next book now, because I’m enjoying the story.
