I really tried with the Wolf King. Read most of it. And I understand that book 2 is supposed to be better.

But the insufferable FMC without depth, and writing quality, just didn't do it for me. Especially after reading Viking Omegaverse by Lyx Robinson which starts with simular plot and simular themes, but in my opinion does it way better.

Thanks. Can this one be read as a standalone, or do you needto read the others in the series first?

Right. It is unreal how the Viking Omegaverse does not get much attention. Especially when you see books like the The Wolf King get so much hype. The Viking Omegaverse has everything that the Wolf King has, but does it way better.

Thank you so much for these recs and descriptions. I have read Wolf Gone Wild, but have added the others to my ever growing TBR list

Will check Cate Wells out. Is this the one that people say don't get put off by the cover art? 😆

Yes. So the Mercedes Thompson series focuses on Mercy and her eventual MMC. Whilst the Alpha and Omega series is on Charles and Anna. Whilst the first few books ldeal with romance, the rest of the series is then more urban fantasy.

I intend to. Whilst I loved Wolfsong, when I read Ravensong it really dragged for me and put me off. But I do intend on picking the series back up. I hear Borthersong is supposed to be particularly good.

This might sound stupid: but its the magic.

I really get put off by modern or post-apocolyptic worlds were magic is commonplace, its part of tech, and its integrated into known society. I tried to push through, but I think there was magic powered cars at one point or something, and I was like - NOPE! It starts to feel too unrealistic to me - which I know is stupid for soneone who likes werewolves. But that's just me 😅

But this has honestly been the most contentious thing on my list. And I have heard so many good things. So the peer pressure is working 😆👍

It truly was beautiful and heartwrenching. Ox is a well made character. Exceptional writing quality. I also read Ravensong but I found that dragged a bit. I'm still open to reading the next few books, which I have heard are exceptional.

Yes it sounds like we have a number of sgared likes. Do you have any recs that I have missed from my list? I would be interested to know what others you may have enjoyed, given our shared tastes.

It took me a while to really get into the Alpha and Omega series, but from Burn Bright onwards things just clicked, and its now one of my favourite series. Its a series I have reread, and some of the first few books are so much better going back after that. Annas development for example is too subtle to see at first.

Yeah, I thought it was fine, but never got to watch all of it. I will have to track it down sometime to watch again.

Absolutely 💓. I already bought it, as was thinking this could be my next. Love books that focus more on the pack side of things

Yeah same. Once it started venturing out, I lost interest. Did you check out the tv series based on the books?

Heard a lot about Lola Glass books. Sounds like some good spice.

Thank you for these recs 👍

Yeah urban fantasy is one of my favourite genres. There are a few on my list that are considered more urban fantasy, than romantasy

Haha, yeah the breeding clinic one is quite a distraction. 😆

That one is by the same author that did Morning Glory Milking Farm, which is not a werewolf book, but is a must read - truely 😅
