Rare Wolves #1
Hybrid
I dedicated my life to studying wolves, but then I found out that lycanthropes existed. How cool is that?
Abused wolf pups need the best and Dr. Holden Black is the best. Shane and Max pull her in to look at the pups, convincing her to spend the rest of her sabbatical working with them.
Holden knows she is still grieving and that working with grieving and abused pups may not be the best thing for her, but once she sees the three little ones, her heart leaves her with no choice. Soren, Betta, and Lexi need her. And, she needs them.
What if by following your heart, you find not only lost love but also discover something crucial about yourself?
Hybrid is the first of the Rare Wolf series.

About the author
K.J. Carr
17 books17 followersK J Carr has always been a voracious reader, often bringing home a stack of all genres of books each week from the library as a child. She read romance, science fiction, fantasy, historical romance, self-help -- basically if it was in the library, she would read it. Luckily she was allowed into the adult section when she was around ten since she was reading eight or more books per week.
When she was older, book stores became her happy place, able to spend hours looking for books to purchase (and to increase her debt).
These books caused her imagination to soar and she started writing her own stories. Unfortunately, life got in the way and writing was put to the side for a while, albeit never forgotten.
After reading about heroines whom she just wanted to slap, she decided she would write about the characters she wanted to hang out with. Those who try to conquer their worlds with wit and snarkiness.

Good idea, terrible execution.
Even if you can’t afford an editor, every single writing program out there has spell check and grammar check. There is absolutely no possible way a grammar check was used. The word HAD was used appropriately about 5 times, and incorrectly 780 times.
This actually makes me happy that this is a no spice book because I can’t even imagine how bad it would’ve been.

Get a new editor.
The story was OK, the characters were mostly relatable, and the pace was good.
BUT... author is in LOVE with the word "had". The word appeared 789 times, mostly in paragraphs with 5 or more times each. Sometimes it was correct usage, but just as often it was incorrect, such as a sentence that started with current tense and changed to past tense with the word "had". I also found an issue with plot holes, but they weren't as annoying as "had". (Also throw in almost 50 "hadn't"(s) too ). I dont usually count words, but it was impossible to read book without being struck about the had.

This book started out not to bad but alas, the further I got, the less I connected with it. It got more and more until finally at 96% I was bored and didn’t really care enough about the characters to continue. It was about a wolf shifter who was in the military until he was hurt very badly and presumed dead along with his entire unit. But he was a wolf shifter and healed. He returned home and sometime later some very bad people killed his shifter brother and sister in law and kidnapped their three children/cubs. They captured the cubs and experimented on them until the hero rescued them and because they were traumatized, hired a woman biologist who focused on wolves Thelma them. The heroine was doing a good job with them until she was captured by the same bad people. The hero rescued, she had some rather unique things about her. The hero and his inner wolf knew she was their mate. She was ok about this even when she found out he was a shifter. I found it odd though she kept confusing wolf shifters and werewolves. They fell in love, formed a pack and by this time I was bored and ready to return the KU hook to Kindle and move onto the next book.

Heaps full of MEH 1.5 ⭐
This book started out interesting, but sadly did not stay that way.
The plot was simple enough, but seemed bland as it went on.
I had a hard time believing this lady was a wolf biologist because there was never really an surety backed by science in her motives or thoughts. Her whole "job" was to be a "nanny" to "wild" wolf pups in a house. It never struck her as odd that they weren't in some nature preserve, or that everyone spoke about trauma and PTSD as if they were human.
-we're supposed to believe that wolves have a fantastic smell but Holden only smelled more than human to the PUPS?!
-we FINALLY get some adult time at 87%, they kiss, remove shirts, turn the page.. She's exhausted after that good loving. WHAT?!
-the dialog was TERRIBLE, like a game of telephone. Character thinks something, tells 2nd character (verbatim), 2nd character tells 3rd character VERBATIM!!
-what's the difference between lycanthropy and werewolves.. we know WHY they're different (parentage) but HOW?! They don't have different features, DNA, powers etc.
Not impressed by this book definitely will not read more of this series.

I really wanted to like this. The base of the story is interesting. I have little problems with the romance (no insta love or using communication issues to drive the book). I liked the base of the characters. That’s the thing, everything was basically the base of the story not the full fleshed out story.
The author needed to get to know her characters better as well as the location.
The book also badly needed an editor. Their were a ton of past to present tense changes, head hopping, repetition of words and ideas, spoon feeding the audience, and over use of the word had.
There were a lot of things that didn’t make sense such as: why did they keep the children outside when they were sick and hurting and it was cold. Why did they chose a babysitter who had no knowledge of lycanthropy?
Lastly, the world could’ve been built better.
Dear author, I hope this doesn’t offend you but make you realize that all authors need editors. Even the greats.

Half Star
Okay so this COULD have been at the very least an interesting read. But, the writing? Cringe-worthy. I can’t find it myself to even read the book fully. While I was able to get through the first 30%, and only because of how small the book is, torturing myself that much longer is not worth it.
The ending was cliche, at best.
She somehow turns into a werewolf too? Having always possessed this weird connection to animals? Easily expected. Idk more than that I skipped too much. Too painful to go back and read the rest.

I thought this was an okay read, could have had better execution, better fleshed out characters, but story premise was good. Holden, a fairly recent widower, being a biologist studying wolves, is called in to help with three traumatized wolf pups who were rescued by Shane, their uncle, and Shane’s pack. Holden has no awareness of there being wolf shifters. Shane knows who she is, she does not recognize Shane, but keeps having the feeling she has met him before. We see Holden build relationship with the pups she’s no idea are also small children. Relationship building between Holden and Shane is lacking quite a bit though. There’s a cliche jealous female, though no indication she has any true reason to be, that’s left off page apparently. She hurts the traumatized pups, but seems to receive zero repercussions, just a directive to stay away and placated about later. That Shane has to then let her know never going to happen and never come near him or his. So we have a weak alpha and have to really wonder why Shane would follow him.
That’s no reason Holden would be bothered with her deceased husband’s brother. And she gets a picture of her dying husband RIGHT after hanging up with the now former brother in law, whom she knows her husband barely had anything to do with and she has ZERO thought it could be Edward behind the picture? She has a very negative reaction to him but makes excuses?
The werewolves can move fast, but can’t get across the room and tackle Edward before he could even blink? They couldn’t disable a fleeing car? They put a tracker on it, but they can’t flatten tires? Move fast enough to take out all the occupants inside, that seemed to grow in number from one written scene to another? Why would there be 5 other occupants inside, making Holden 6? Became too much convenience writing as the story went on. An aphrodisiac given, really? It didn’t make sense for it to have been given then. At all. Except to be convenient writing for Edward to somehow get away from the wolf that landed on top of him, and should have immediately knocked him out and dealt with him, the alpha was there, and not incapable of resisting the pheromones, the trained soldiers that it was written, was trained for exactly that kind of scenario and capable of resisting, Edward gets away from all of them? How utterly cliché bad.
Tessa betrayed the pack which was said to be a harsh punishment, death, yet slap on the wrist send her away with another lone wolf? Shane wanted her dead but suddenly just fine with her just being sent away? Really? She helped the enemy, who held the rogue wolf to experiment on as well, who tortured three young children, why would he want her? It made no sense. Because he was “interested” in her? Not his mate, but interested.
A man bitten near his genitals still holding onto someone? I don’t think so. Then bitten on the butt? Still holding on to someone? Super unrealistic. And Edward’s just taken away, Shane goes to “handle it” but what happens? We get nothing.
It was established wolves are born, no virus, not turned, then contradict with how rare occasions of turning?

Shane brings in a wolf researcher to help with the pups before their grief of losing their parents and the trauma they endured after takes their lives. Holden is suffering too, she bonds with the pups in their mutual grief but she doesn’t recognize Shane anymore as the boy she loved in collage, after enlisting a tragic explosion wiped out his team and he was counted among them, Holden has believed him dead for years and is a little confused by the familiarity she feels for the scarred man who holds no resemblance to anyone she remembers. Unfortunately even deep in the woods at in protected compound they are not safe, and Holdens husbands murderer comes for her- the twisted man’s true target all along. Holden had always had an affinity for wolves, but never knew how much she was truly Like them. Shane, Holden and the pups build a little pack, a family.

Dr. Holden Black’s called to help after Shane rescued his orphaned nephew and nieces from an illegal lab experimenting on wolf shifters, one triplet was barely alive for her rescue. Shane recognized Holden immediately as his mate in college but she was human and he wasn’t ready for a family. She didn’t recognize him, his miliary stint changed him inside and out.
The pups thrive under Holden’s care and she begins remembering the Shane she knew. As they fall into an easy romance, Holden’s brother-in-law begins to come up with reasons to see her as Shane and the rest of the pack realize the lab has reopened for business and may be targeting them again.
A new to me author wound a relaxing read introducing some good characters with enough issues for plausible conflict in a tale that included not so nice pieces but not really adding anything new to the genre.
Rating: 4.25stars

Didn't care for this book
On the fence about this one, I guess my big issue was how these wolf's didn't know Holden was half wolf? One of the pups did yet the grown ones didnt? The Alpha didnt? It just doesn't make sense. And the term b** " * is used to describe the female wolf? Why? These shifters and I women who is a specialist in wolves uses this term for the (she-wolf) that's right, you don't call a female wolf that term, that's the term of a female dog? And yet it's used! For some reason this bothered me, this was a wolf book that screamed anything but, it's like the author didn't even try with and background information, and this book desperately needed it. I love books that think out the box, but ignorance in a genre is never ok

I reeeeeally wanted to love this story...There are not enough werewolf pup stories that I can find and the story sounded sooo intriguing! Unfortunately there were just some issues I couldn't get past. The sentence structure and grammar were 2 main pain points. The story also didnt flow correctly. Some parts were ok and then others were very choppy. I also missed some of the background/world building. I wanted more history, bios on the main characters etc in the beginning so that I could build that connection with them. If the story got some good Alpha and Beta readers, it could completely turn this story around for the better. This reads more like a rough draft instead of a published finished work. I would be willing to re-read it if it went through some editing but as it stands, I didn't even finish the book. I just...needed more.

Has potential
This book wasn’t terrible. It was interesting enough that I’ll probably read the next one. My biggest complaint with this story is the two are supposed to be fated mates but at one point Holden doesn’t even remember his name. He reminds her of someone she once knew and makes it out that the guy was so insignificant that she can’t even remember his name but then later she says she almost killed her self when she heard he died in the war. How do you forget the name of someone who made such an impact on you that the new of their death literally almost sent you over a bridge. Made no sense.

I liked this story. This was the first time I have read a book by this author. I liked this story enough that I will read the 2nd book in the series and see how that one goes. But I find that I am not in any rush to get to that 2nd book. There wasn't a hook at the end of this one that had me dying to read the next. I also didn't really care for the character that the next book is about. So not really sure how that will go.
I was disappointed in the fade to black scenes in this book. I am hoping that the next book isn't the same way. I like books that are spicy as well as having a good plot.

This book had an interesting twist. Holden, the wolf biologist, was invited to help with three wolf pups who had lost their parents. She immediately fell in love with them and became their surrogate mother. She wasn’t a wolf but her instincts when caring for the pups were excellent. Each character in this book had a fully developed personality. The story wove in and out through each person so they all had a role. This made the book fascinating and hard to put down. Also, the grammar and sentence structure was well done so I never had to stop in my mind because of poor English. I recommend this book.

This is the first book by this author that I've read and whilst I enjoyed the storyline, the editing issues let it down. The story focuses on Holden, a Wolf Biologist who has been called in to help care for three pups that have recently been rescued from an illegal laboratory. What Holden doesn't realise is that the pups in question are not ordinary wolves but are actually werewolves... whose existence is unknown to humans. Despite the editing issues, it's a good start to a new series.

Unique Look at the Wolf Shifter World
K.J. you are doing a good job and please continue your writing. Holden and Shane make a great couple and I like how you took your time to develop their relationship. How you handled Shane's past and his feelings shows really good character development. I do not know if you are ex-military but you certainly handled that aspect of the story. I bought the other 2 books in the series and look forward to reading them. Thanks.

B- word
I almost didn't finish this story because half way through the book they started referring to the female shifters as B's which was a complete turn off especially since in previous pages it was used as an insult. In one chapter it was user multiple times. Okay we get it. I almost rated it a 2 but the previous chapters were interesting. I don't think I will continue though it just didn't make since to start using that word halfway through the book.

Hybrid, a standalone book of the Rare Wolves series, is an ebook I borrowed through Kindle Unlimited (KU). This story line was engaging and I found Holden and Shane to be well-written characters. Grammar nerds beware, as there are small errors (dropped words or letters) and a lot of redundant information. I enjoyed the read and may read others in the series (which appear to be stand-alone stories).

Quite good
This was a very good book the. Plot was one of the best l have ever read! I like that the author didn't overwhelm us with sex and we got more story with some twists and turns .I hope the pups will show up in future books. Thank you to the author for sharing a part of herself with us.

Hybrid: First Rare Wolf
I loved the story. It was so touching from beginning to end. Rescuing his brother's family from evil people and what they go through to finally heal.
I loved how they had met in college but life was sad for both until the Holden finally realized who Shane really was.
A lot of bad things happen in the book. It is still a very interesting book to read.

Odd, not sure how a hybrid differs from a lycanthroph. Even after having reading the explanation, I am confused. None the less, it was an interesting read about college students separated by war. Reunited when puppies/children were traumatized by a mad scientist who hoped to make a fortune with the military.

Enjoyable shifter story.
I became engaged in the story quickly and read it pretty much straight through without stopping, a sign for me that I need to continue this series. I really liked that the author didn't see the need to give us a blow by blow account of the mating. Well edited.

Excellent twist.
A refreshing new look into the world of shifters.
This book had a bit of everything, excitement, drama, angst, anger and plenty of action.

Wonderful story
Reading book series like this one gives us the chance to go head first into the fantastic stories that begin with a few characters and how they feel and deal with life on a daily basis. When I start reading a new series I get so excited because sometimes deep down I wonder what if????

Great story line
I have read many werewolf stories and this one was nothing like the others. This story provides a different way into the werewolf universe. I will be continuing the series.
Definitely read this book, if you would like a change of pace from the usual werewolf story!

Outstanding read
I have been so lucky with the new authors I have been finding this year. Holden, Shane and the pups was a great story, easy to follow and the storyline was perfect. I know I have found a good book when I read it in one night. Great job K J Carr

Loved Holden and Shane
Read this book in one sitting, because it is that good! The plot kept me pulled in, wondering just how they were going to deal with the next things and the characters were well written and lovable.
