I am the person who always has a book with them. A physical book. I don’t really read on a Kindle or anything, but on the day I picked these up I ended up stuck somewhere unexpectedly with nothing to do. So, I grabbed my phone and opened the Kindle app to find something free to read. I came across these and the synopsis was intriguing. I don’t like to leave bad reviews that will discourage authors or tear their work apart, but while the premise of these books was great, they’re so poorly written I checked to see if the writer was a middle schooler. Hopefully, if the author reads this they will see it as helpful instead of hurtful. There are somewhat of spoilers ahead.
Pros:
-Great premise. I liked the way werewolf packs were divided into factions, sort of like Divergent. Sadly, with either a better author or more help to the author this could’ve been a really great series.
- I like the way “Fate” was turned into a person/deity. I think it’s a fantastic concept.
-I wish I had more.
Cons:
-This book is supposed to be about werewolves, yet I think someone turned into a wolf maybe 4 times throughout the entire series. It made absolutely no sense to make them werewolves since they did nothing remotely werewolfish.
-character consistency was all over the place. This issue is across several planes:
-First, the very first book in the series is “Alpha Landon”. There is an entire book dedicated to an Alpha named Landon!! Yet, when his book is over, he is briefly mentioned in the second book towards the middle, then his name is mention in conversation at the end of the last book. Seriously, after an entire book about him and his mate and they aren’t mentioned again, even though many Alphas are used throughout the entire series many times he plays no other role in the series.
-This leads to the second character issue: there are 12 “packs”, yet we only hear from maybe half of them. Some, I don’t even know the name of the Alpha. Why have 12 packs if you’re not going to use their Alphas or their pack traits at any point? Some of the packs are basically the same thing, and their traits don’t match the definition of the packs. It was bad enough that I stumbled over packs many times and had to re-read for clarification. For example, Desire, Passion, and Love. Those 3 words by definition are very close to the same thing, but when you read about their reason for existing and their Alphas in the book they are the EXACT same thing. When a character visits there nothing about the physical place represents them at all.
-Character traits given to a character in one book, didn’t transfer over in another book. Teo examples are the character Lexia who was a secondary character in one book where she was a total badass. She didn’t put up with any shit, she could defend herself, she was a leader, she was violent, relentless, and she even convinced an Alpha to kill his brother in cold blood. The very next book she is the main character and protagonist, but she’s a total wuss. She meets her mate and before she even knows he’s her mate she’s taking orders from men, getting kidnapped being the damsel in distress, doing stupid things like following her mate to see what he’s up to, and mushy in love. If her name hadn’t been the same I wouldn’t have known she was the same person. The same thing with the Alpha Malik. His presence in other books he’s like this super immature, sleazy sex deviant, but in his book he’s this soft sweet guy who goes for the nerdy, shy, bookworm. It was just so disappointing how these characters weren’t written to show their development and change as a person over the series. They were just different from one moment to the next.
-Characters weren’t realistic. I know this is fantasy, but the way they talk to each other and carry their relationships was just so dramatic. It wasn’t a realistic relationship. The writing for relationships got a little better with Jasper and Malik and their female protagonists who were more independent and leery of them making the Alphas work harder to earn their trust and love. It was more natural and realistic instead of this over the top love that doesn’t seem real enough to connect with and made you roll your eyes.
-The author just ends each book. It’s not this smooth flow to resolution, or even this smooth flow that leads into the next book where the story will pick back up. The book just stops. Each book picks up with a new Alpha meaning basically each book could be a stand alone book. So, anything unanswered or unresolved doesn’t get answered or resolved. There are actually many things that seem to be a big part of the plot in the beginning of the book and they just disappear to never return. An example off the top of my head is in Alpha Jasper, the female protagonist, Thea, is basically had a plot to kill her planned by her father, best friend, and boyfriend. She escapes with Jasper and her boyfriend tries to find her and she gives him the slip once then we don’t hear from him again for most of the book. All of a sudden he has her, but we don’t really know how HE got her and then she kills him. At the end of the book she and the Alpha end up moving back to that pack which thinks they’re dead and that’s it. No resolution with the father, best friend, the entire pack, nothing. They went from deciding to move back there to being there and bam the book ends. If you read it you will see how many things actually have no resolution and you have so many questions.
-Things are just randomly thrown in with no basis or context for them. It’s like the author had this idea they wanted in the book and just stuck it in. I found myself going back and having to re-read pages on pages thinking I missed something. And it happened A LOT. The ending of Alpha Malik with the thing about Fate. What the actual fuck?? Where did that come from? I still don’t understand it. It was just thrown in out of nowhere. Literal no where. It made no sense. Then the book moved on with no mention of it.
-The titles of books were the names of Alphas, but the narrators were the females they end up with. You rarely hear from the Alpha’s point of view. There are some books where there are a random few paragraphs from the Alpha’s POV, but that’s it.
-Horrible spelling and grammar. Come on, that’s basic writing.
- There are huge gaps in time missing with no new chapter beginning, no page break, nothing. One minute the characters are doing one thing and in the very next sentence the characters are somewhere else doing something completely different. There was no flow of them getting to that point, dialogue discussing it, nothing. They just jump and there are spans of time where you don’t know how something happens.
-Maybe I’m nitpicking this one because I’m an English major, English teacher, and a life long avid reader, but the vocabulary is so simplistic and basic. It’s something I would expect from a middle schooler. Then, all of a sudden, some random great word would be used in the complete wrong place and context. I guess you just expect more out of an adult who decides to become an author and publish books.

Hard to follow, good ideas
I tried to read this. Read book 1 to at least know what happened in the end there.
The use of grammar and language really killed it for me. And the story has good points but it just has no backbone to it, random events happening for unknown reasons and no backstory or conclusions or expect he was mad or he went off a cliff, etc.
I think a redo with more meat to the stories and a proofreader would do wonders for this.
I read a lot, so I really wanted to keep on in the series, but it needed too much fine tuning.

One of the best books / series ever. I remember the first time reading all the books, I was compleatly in love with them. It's diffrent from the other werewolf books I ever read. They are all lincked together, but you can also read them separately. The way the story floods, the drama, and the love story itself is pretty captivating. Books to kill for!

Late Review
I love this series, and never reviewed it shame on me. Anyway this was great series although I started off with Kaden I quickly catches up with all the other characters. Now this isn’t soft or fully, it’s dark, scary, and includes nightmares but it’s still an awesome read so have fun!!

Get a proofreader
Storyline(s) were an interesting concept but the first in the series was so desperately in need of proofreading it was a struggle to make it through to the end. Books 2-5 were better but still in need of a proofreader. I’d wait to see if it makes it to a second edition with editing.

Alpha Series
I enjoyed this series greatly! Found it on a different app, but couldn't wait the 24 hours between chapters to read the rest! Can't wait to find out what happens with the other Alphas!

Alphas galore
Loved how the stories intertwined at times. Loved that each one over came an obstacle to be with the one they loved.

This series is just fabulous. Once you start reading them you just can't put them down. Great reads, each and every one.

I honestly did not care for this book due to the writing style and all the errors. The book did not flow well and it did not keep my interest.

Amazing from start to finish
I truly appreciate and enjoyed this box set. The stories are seamless. As such, it wasn't until the 4th book that I realized I wasn't just reading different chapters but different books.
