  What is better than werewolves, alien werewolves!! That is. Because normal werewolves are so boring, I mean oops, shape-shifters, so let's go to some other planet, shall we?
  
  This is not an original plot, if you have read 'Ice Planet Barbarians' then there is hardly anything new here. Having said that, if you liked IPB, then you should definitely give this a try....who knows, you might end up liking this.
  
  I follow Ruby Dixon on FB, and apparently she was the one who has recommended this. I liked the story, it's simple, giving 2 POVs, easy enough to follow - I mean I'm not even using half of my brain cells, but it's OK. I like to read something simple, just binge!
  
  I'll read next in the series because it is Natalie's story so yeah I'm continuing with it...

  -Shifter crack, so of course I can’t resist. Plus, it’s on Kindle Unlimited. Way to feed my addiction, Amazon.
  -I liked the setup with the girls bonding over the crappy treatment at the Center and if the story had continued really developing the female characters and their friendship, perhaps it could have worked. However….
  -Look, I don’t expect alot of things from my cracky reads since crackilicious means guilty pleasure in my book. However, I absolutely need one of two things to really be fleshed out: the ‘verse the characters reside in or the characters themselves. I need one of those two things to hold my interest. Ideally, when both are interesting, I’m happier than a pig in poo. Here, neither one really worked for me. In fact, the story itself kind of dragged once the sisters ended up with the Wargs. Even the introduction of the Hill vs Valley Warg feud (kinda like the Hatfields and McCoys, but hairier) didn’t keep my interest..
  -Solan’s kind of a crappy alpha. He’s unsure alot of the time in an unappealing way, and his tendency to disregard Sienna (at one point even called her stupid Terran, which bleh) was a turnoff. Sienna’s personality wasn’t particularly strong either, even if she was supposed to be the leader of her crew.
  
  
  Meh. Between the lack of spark and the lackluster story, my cracky read just ended up fizzling. I’ve tried Ms. Maddix’s books more than once and I think I just have to give up the ghost and admit that her style’s just not for me. But if you’re super into shifter/alien romances, it may work for you.

  Sienna and her friends are in a training center for people who are genetically inferior (overweight, ugly that sort of thing). They believe that after their training they will be sent out on missions with important goals....but they find out they are being sent out as concubines. The three manage to escape but run into the creatures that they thought were just a myth...wolf shifters. Soon they find out that they were lied to about almost everything... and since they have nowhere else to go this village might be a good fit for them. But the village is not without it's own dangers and they have to decide if they will willingly adapt or cling to their old lives.
  
  I really enjoyed this. I thought Solan and Sienna were perfect parts likable and stubborn. I thought the story, though it had a lot going on, flowed really well and has some great originality. I will definitely check out the next in this series.

  Wargs
  
  This is a standalone sci-fi romance series opener. Three Terran friends have been raised in a "training center" after being rejected by their families because they don't meet the standard physical image requirements. The night before they are to receive their post graduation assignments, they overhear guards say they will be sent to the military as sex slaves instead. They come up with a plan to escape and then overpower their guards on the transport the next day. They crash land in the forest, an area inhabited by Wargs, deadly wolves, but quickly learn the stories they've been told about the Wargs aren't fully accurate. And that there are far more dangerous things in the woods than Wargs. This book gets 3.5 stars.

  It wasn't awful but it could have been much more. There are lots of plots points dropped and out of character behavior that if fixed could have made the book so much better.
  
  Example: Why is the other tribe so barbaric? Why does the hero do that dumb thing (or not do the right thing that his character would totally do) and talk about in his head forever? Why don't the the heroine and her friends think about saving the other girls. This tribe needs women.
  
  Sigh. Annoying. I am interesting in the the other heroines but I am likely going to not like the next book much either based on these kinds of errors.

  Preparing for life
  
  Such fantastic world building! I enjoyed the two extremes in culture and how the author slowly brought everyone closer together. I love that the girls were strong enough to make a difference in their own lives and yet smart enough to recognize a good thing. The author made this such a fantastic journey with a touch of SciFi and PNR that I can’t wait to read the next book!

  Actually the setting is a bit strange.
  Their parents have gave them away to a training thing, but when they are finally old enough to do their thing they find out they are going to be sex slaves.
  So they escape and crash their plane.
  
  They are found a rescued by a werewolf who gives them a place in his pack.
  Sienna has feelings for this werewolf Solan, but she isn't sure if she wants to become a werewolf herself. But next her two friends are kidnapped by a rival pack.
  What comes of that, for that you have to read the book.
  
  If you like a book with action, hot moments and strong woman, this is your read.

  Intense and exciting
  
  I loved it! The story is deep with a detailed plot. The sisters escape was high on the action and was super intense. I loved the idea of the training camps and the twisted use for the unwanted big girls. That part was twisted but I imagine that it could happen, in theory. I loved the characters and the girl power that the book showcases. It was interesting and the story flowed steadily.

  Enjoyed
  
  What I expected and what I got was different. I almost gave up because the two main characters didn’t meet till well after chapter four. Normally I have a rule, no meet by chapter 3 then I move on. The author managed to keep me hooked so digital high five. Give this one a chance.

  Very enjoyable!
  
  This is a twist on your typical shifter book and alien book. The authors combined these two genre's and the book was good! So the humans escape a human colony and run into a shifter tribe. The tribe is like what you would expect, but alien as well. I will continue with this series.

  Storms and valleys taking it to the extreme
  
  Aliens, wargs of two clans and so many trials plus a touch of life surrounding the mating celebration. I'm not usually into aliens but this story Intrigued me to read the whole thing. Interesting characters plus stories of monsters riddle this book.

  Interesting surprise
  
  I expected a typical PNR romance, but what I got was unique to say the least. This story had shifters, romance, suspense, and out of this world details. A surprisingly good read you will not be disappointed.

  Futuristic combination of paranormal and sci/fi that was good enough to have me interested in the next installment.

  Beverly

  Solan
  
  The rated I choose it to say, the story was great.
  The strength of the 3 girls is so strong to make it through everything.
  Now hoping they find their mates.

  Umm... It was ok
  
  So three sisters who are in a compound are being sold off to unknown aliens. They are rescued by themselves! And then find a warg also now in my mind as werewolf alien who takes them to safety and opens his home and find that one of them is his mate. Sienna is the “alpha” of the group, and she is pretty annoying as well as protective of her sisters. A part of the book it’s almost as if she forgets that her sisters are individual people with their cares, and she believes that her decision is their decision which doesn’t go well. Once everything is excellent with her, she seems to kind of forget about her siblings which I guess is the part of the cliffhanger to make you read the next book which I probably will be reading maybe.

  No Zing
  
  Maybe it's me. If it hadn't been a shorter novel, I wouldn't have made it to the end. I enjoyed the chemistry between the main characters, but their hook up didn't occur until midway through. I am buying the second installment, as I want to see how the over-arching conflict progresses.

  To be one
  
  She is sent to the training center because her size is not acceptable to her people. The training center is sending her and her sisters off to be sex slaves. Could you imaging the betrayal they felt? It’s a good story.

  No bad but a bit perfunctory. 3 stars.
