Raised by Wolves by Jennifer Lynn Barnes
Adopted by the Alpha of a werewolf pack after a rogue wolf brutally killed her parents right before her eyes, fifteen-year-old Bryn knows only pack life, and the rigid social hierarchy that controls it. That doesn't mean that she's averse to breaking a rule or two.
But when her curiosity gets the better of her and she discovers Chase, a new teen locked in a cage in her guardian's basement, and witnesses him turn into a wolf before her eyes, the horrific memories of her parents' murders return. Bryn becomes obsessed with getting her questions answered, and Chase is the only one who can provide the information she needs.
But in her drive to find the truth, will Bryn push too far beyond the constraints of the pack, forcing her to leave behind her friends, her family, and the identity that she's shaped?

Reviews
"The mysteries of Bryn's identity should keep readers hooked, and there's plenty to discuss in terms of gender roles and Pack politics." - Kirkus Reviews
"Fascinating glimpses into pack family dynamics add depth and texture to this latest entry in the werewolf oeuvre... Barnes has produced an appealing addition to the ranks of contemporary fantasy-horror." - Booklist
"RAISED BY WOLVES is, quite simply, the most compelling YA werewolf book out there. I want it to be a series so I can linger longer with these characters." - Melissa Marr, New York Times Bestselling Author of Wicked Lovely
What Readers are Saying...
"Barnes has a breezy way of writing this genre that makes it feel like a straight contemporary novel...Raised by Wolves will go down a treat for those wanting a paranormal read with character depth and evolution." - Persnickety Snark
"Team werewolf is one that I'm not usually on, but with the nearly spectacular thing that was Raised by Wolves, I think I'm really close to making the jump...if you love werewolves, feisty main characters, and fights to death, this is the novel for you!" - Lauren's Crammed Bookshelf
"Exciting, sexy, funny, strong, adventure, danger, love. These are the top words that come to mind when thinking of this novel…Admittedly, there comes a point when you say to yourself, How many more werewolf books can I really read? If you've reached that point, I want to say, read one more. This one." -
