I "read" the audio version and I do find my enjoyment of books is decreased slightly as I'm listening whilst walking to work and can often get distracted. Despite that, I did enjoy Alpha Wolf. It picks up right where we left off in the last Ren book (so make sure you read this series first). Ren's daughter Adelaide, who we met and grew to love and hate (a bit like Ren) in the Ren series is the main character in this series, but we also get some new awesome characters - Rox, along with the sexy (I think they are sexy) werewolves, and continue with some well known ones from the Lucidite Institute (Trent, Adian, Trey). I love how all the dream traveler series by Sarah Noffke seem to all meet together. This one is good vs evil - Lucidite vs Olento. Certainly an entertaining story.

My original Alpha Wolf audiobook review and many others can be found at Audiobook Reviewer.
This is the first book in the four-books Olento Research series by [a:Sarah Noffke|9830676|Sarah Noffke|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1418251839p2/9830676.jpg]. Although set in the same world of dream travelers as Noffke's other series and featuring several well-known characters from other books, it works perfectly well even if you are not familiar with Noffke's previous works as plenty of history is provided. However, if you've listened to/read at least the Ren series in the past, you may feel a greater connection to the story right from the start.
Ren's daughter, Adelaide, is one of the protagonists who needs to find twelve men who were abducted and genetically modified by a scrupulous corporation to be part wolf, part human. Snarky Adelaide is teamed up with sassy FBI agent Rox. Two assertive, abrasive women make for plenty of banter back and forth, as Adelaide thoroughly loathes Rox. The story line is intriguing and nothing like the usual werewolves' sagas. As it is the first in a new series, it isn't terribly fast-paced as characters are introduced and background is provided, making sure all the characters are fully fleshed out. But there were still plenty of suspenseful as well as very emotional moments. The male characters were really interesting, too, but the limelight was definitely stolen by Adelaide and Rox. The story certainly kept my attention throughout and I can't wait to find out where this story will be heading in book 2, [b:Lone Wolf|35294743|Lone Wolf (Olento Research #2)|Sarah Noffke|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1496527361s/35294743.jpg|56659969].
Elizabeth Klett narrates the story in a nice pace and with a pleasant, clear tone that is easy to listen to. Using a wide variety of accents and easily distinguishable voices she covers a large number of characters effortlessly and really brings the story to life. There were no issues with the production of the audiobook.
A great mix of science fiction and paranormal / fantasy and highly recommended if you enjoy action, banter, characters to root for, nasty villains, suspense and very emotional moments. Basically, there's something here for everybody.

Another great read!
Olento Research has been experimenting on humans and their latest endeavor is turning a particular set of men into a group of werewolves. After the wolves somehow escape and news of terrible attacks get out, the Lucidites step in to protect the midlings and round up the wolves. But who did this, and why? The Lucidites are on the case!
