Review
"Alianne Donnelly has written a book that revitalizes dystopian fiction." - Novel Reviewers
"Great book and I hope some of you will take a chance to check it out for yourself. [...] This book has a dynamic trio leading its ranks and their story is a must read in my book." - The Writer's Inkwell
"This novel is unique, and it is must read because it is a novel with no clichés. Donnelly took a stab at creating a psychoanalytic story about adventure and survival set within a dystopian universe. There is a lot of depth in her characters and in the world she has built, which makes Wolfen a compelling novel worth reading." - Entertainment Monthly

About the author
Alianne Donnelly was a wordsmith long before she became a reader. Driven by an insatiable curiosity about everything from history and mythology to science and philosophy, she grew into a fiction writer who hates coloring inside the genre lines. Her books all have elements of romance, with different series sorted under paranormal, science fiction, fantasy, and erotic. And then there’s Wolfen…
Alianne lives in California, doing hard time in a corporate 9-5, while secretly scribbling away any chance she gets. She loves pizza, hiking, and avoiding small talk, and hopes to one day win the lottery jackpot. For more information about Alianne's books and writerly life, visit her website: aliannedonnelly.com

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent!
Wow! I don't even know where to start with this review. I guess I can start by saying I loved it. Ms. Donnelly has done a fine job building a post-apocalyptic, dystopian world that shares several themes common to the genre (zombie-like creatures, evil megalomaniacs who maintain control of their followers by using brutal henchmen, pockets of civilization struggling to survive in a wasteland)but also introduces new themes. Scientists worked covertly for years to create a super race that could be used as weapons, but their creations got out of hand. Some developed to become converts, mindless super fiends who craved meat and blood to eat. Others became Wolfen, stronger and faster than humans, who healed almost instantly from any wound.
I loved Sinna, heroine who has survived in spite of having a soft heart. There is an sort of anti-heroine, who I found complex and fascinating. Kudos to Ms. Donnelly for making her believable and appealing even though she has done some despicable things.
I wouldn't call this light reading. There is romance in it, and those relationships are important to the story, but this is not strictly a romance. It is a meaty fantasy story that gripped me. I started it last night and naturally read way past my bedtime. It is a lengthy work, so I did not finish it before I finally forced myself to go to bed. Today it was hard for me to focus on work. I barely bothered to eat lunch in favor of reading. Almost the minute I punched out I was back to reading.
If you enjoy end-of-the-world-as-we-know-it stories, I highly recommend Wolfen.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun Fantasy Read
Good fantasy novel. Well written characters with emotional pull. Plot twists didn’t disappoint. Wish it was a trilogy. Thoroughly Enjoyed!

4.0 out of 5 stars Not quite dystopian, not paranormal romance, and not questing story, but the best of all three.
Not my normal read, and yet I still enjoyed the story. The dystopian aspects were there without either the info dump of who did what to cause the collapse, nor the “let’s ignore the past, to shorten the story,” one can often find in dystopian novels. WOLFEN gives details but doesn’t wallow in them.
I’m not much of a fan of romance, let alone paranormal romance, however, again WOLFEN, set ups the interest without falling into a dark agnsty pit of romantic longing, misunderstanding, overwrought emotional scenes, histrionics, and hormone induced stupidity.
As for the questing aspect this is where I think the story is best, there is a reason for each decision, for the quest to occur and the why and how the events unfold. Even better, the story is not just about a road trip, but blends in the romance and dystopian angles together. It is through this blending and the synergy that arises from the combination that makes WOLFEN enjoyable.

5.0 out of 5 stars Unique twist on Wolves
This is not your typical wolf/shifter story. It's dark and light and soft and hard. It's a bleak future of what life has become when man tries to play God. Of course experimenting gets out of hand and out of control. Mutations gone wrong far out number the mutations gone right!
Mankind has been decimated and no longer sits at the top of the food chain. Enter Wolfen, the would be protectors, turned slaves. They are all that stands in the way of man's extinction.
This is a fast paced, action packed ringer! I couldn't put it down and finished it in a day. The dynamics between the brothers and their pack are very intriguing. Let's hope there is a sequel in the works!
