The rules of the She-Wolf Games are simple.1. Get out of the cage first.2. Don’t waste time shifting into a wolf.3. Never stop running.4. Don’t get caught.5. Repeat every night until the games are over…or you escape.With werewolves on the brink of extinction, packs from everywhere came together in an attempt to overcome their differences. The creation of the She-Wolf Games did just that, … She-Wolf Games did just that, bringing peace among the territories as packs work toward the same goal: Save their species.
Usually, I’d be touched at such a monumental occasion, but I had no idea werewolves existed. Or that female werewolves were a commodity and the ultimate prize.
I figured it out fast after encountering a beautiful wolf outside my apartment building. If only the cute sucker hadn’t bitten me.
Because now, I find myself as one of three she-wolves among a few dozen men competing for a chance to fill a spot in my new pack. Four scary-hot werewolves who all get to claim me. And they will do anything to win the She-Wolf Games. It’s for a good cause, right? Too bad I’m going to assure they all lose.
This is a sizzling hot reverse harem paranormal romance. Get ready for sparks to fly as the games begin.

I didn’t know what to expect, having never read this author before and it turned out to be pretty fun. It definitely isn’t for everyone and some people might consider it dark (as if that’s a bad thing?!).
Be warned, this book will drop you into a foreign world … laws and societal rules are different here. Things you consider unsavory or sexist may just be the ways of life for this particular species and society.
That said, I definitely did have to remind myself of that a few times in order to be comfortable wrapping my head around some of their policies … and that’s okay! I don’t read just to endure the same things, views, laws, attitudes, etc. Regardless of whether the reader can or cannot stomach this particular trope, the writing and character development are good, in my opinion. I would read more from this author and I’ll likely read on in this series.
There are definitely characters to both love and root for and hate here.
Lyric is pretty likable as a strong-willed female who really doesn’t take any sh— well, you know.
The action scenes are intense and full of drama and excitement, all conflict-fueled.
The steamy scenes are fairly well done, not exactly like everyone else’s and that’s not an easy feat. They are very abundant though … while I’ve nothing against them, I could do with a bit more action, drama, even everyday life and a bit fewer steamy scenes. It seemed like every few minutes there was another one.
3.5 stars.
Note:
The narrator has a great voice and pronunciation and uses appropriate tones. Good performance!
This story really pulled me in. I loved how Lyric didn’t believe what anyone told her and continued to question everything.
After being evicted, Lyric is kidnapped and told she is a sge-wolf and must take part in the traditional She-Wolf Games. An old way of determining the best wolves for the She-Wolf’s pack. Only Lyric was never told she was a wolf and she clings to her dad’s teachings, disbelieving what she is told and questions everything.
Slowly she forms friendships, but is still reluctant to immerse herself into this new life.
This is book 1 in a ‘why choose’ series.
Ginna Moran’s, The Packmates of Lunar Crest series, begins with the book, The She-Wolf Games.
The premise of this story revolves around the mates of an unexpected paranormal She-Wolf, who has no idea a world outside of her human one exists. She must attempt to learn about her new status, while competing for her own choices of mates.
Of course there are many secrets, from every creature she meets, that play into her mindset, while creating bonds to those she feels an affinity.
Great story! Looking forward to the next book in the series!
This is such an amazing beginning to this new series! Ginna Moran writes such unique stories that I absolutely love, and this one is certainly no different, it is incredible! The world building is awesome and I love the whole concept of the competition! And the characters, what can say, just wow! I cannot wait to dig into the next book!
Shifter love!! Great start to a new shifter series that takes you through a roller coaster of highs and lows as Lyric navigates her new world. It’s an interesting spin on shifter packs where there are very few females and the males participate in games to impress the females in order to be chosen for their packs. Fabulous story, very well written and just overall Amazingness!! Can’t wait to see what is in store for the next book!!
Lyric is having the worst day of her life, or so she thinks. Little does she know that everything she thinks she knows is about to be turned upside down and she’s thrown into a world she never knew existed. Enter the She-wolf games, where the prize is her. Or is it?
I absolutely loved this take on pack life where the men compete for a spot and the women are the alphas. And the mystery surrounding everything? Who is telling Lyric the truth? Is anyone. So excited for more of this series and to find out what happens next
