Shadows & Wolves: A Werewolf Romance Complete Collection Written by Mila Young Narrated by Krys Janae


I received an audible code for this amazing box set in exchange for an honest review. Individually the books are:


Shadowlands Sector, One (A Shifter Paranormal Romance) 

Shadowlands Sector, Two.      And

Shadowlands Sector, Three: A Shifter Romance


The ebooks are available to read on kindle unlimited along with many other paranormal romance works by Mila Young but honestly go for the audiobook here because Krys Janaes narration is just perfection and at a total of just over 20 hours the complete set allows you to settle in for a nice long listen to hold your interest through weekly household chores or a long road trip or where ever you do your audiobook listening.


This is a post apocalyptic world with zombies and wolf shifters. We open on our heroine as a child to get important details from her back story that sets up her reactions/motivation.


The world building involves packs of wolf shifters who fortify their communities against the undead. The hierarchy involves the Alpha, Beta, Omega construct that will be familiar to shifter romance readers. Fated mates and knotting is involved with the overwhelming compulsion to solidify bonds between fated mates. However at no point is anything consummated against anyones will on page. However (trigger warning) there are references to rape or near rape. I read everything that does happen as consensual though. This is a high heat, high steam, open door, reverse harem with no cheating though the harem does develop organically, quickly and somewhat surprisingly to the players involved but no one’s bothered by the end result of sharing. If you prefer closed door this is definitely not a book for you.


Now for the actual plot - 

We’re escaping/fighting zombies and rogue wolves. Our heroine is acclimating from solo to pack life. Our hero’s are dealing with betrayal from within the pack. And at one point some of the characters from Lost Wolf cross paths with these characters but having read or not read that book first should not impact your enjoyment or understanding. 

Overall this is an epic adventure where our main characters struggle not only literally but philosophically to come to terms with who they are, who they have been and who they can be and that relying on one’s loved ones for help can make us all stronger. 

5/5 Great Series!
