This book is for my darling Mayuschka

I felt you inside me
A whisper
Then, you were gone

From the Inside Flap

Lines readers love from the book-

For life is what you discover outside the walls you set for yourself.

It took finding out who I really am to realize my future lies in the place I grew up.

Imagine what it would be like if you looked at yourself and suddenly didn't know who you were. All your past wiped clean in one swipe. And you look back and all you see is nothing...

Amazing PNR Fiction Must Read in a Unique Fantasy World!

Reviewed in the United States on July 11, 2017

Verified Purchase

Wow! "Feral" is the first book I've ever read by Ms. Hariharan, but it certainly won't be my last! A fantastic, gripping, emotional roller coaster ride in a Dystopian world with shifters that had a unique storyline, great attention to detail & well defined characters, that kept me glued to and on the edge of my seat turning pages, from the start to the end! ... These are my honest opinions without any outside influences, and I just bought my own copy to keep, so I highly recommend this to all fans of fiction, especially Fantasy, Sci-Fi & PNR! I've already started the next story in the 'Many Lives' world!

Enticing start to an adventurous series!

Reviewed in the United States on December 19, 2017

Verified Purchase

This is the first book in the series and what a captivating way to start a series! This book has the elements of a catchy fast-paced thrilling story about a girl who is trying to find herself through her past and present. Maya is not who she thinks she is and has been lied to for most of her life about her parentage. Now she is faced with a reality that takes her away from the people and places she has grown up with. To complicate matters, her life-long friend, Luke, is looking more and more like the man she wants to be with for the rest of her life. In Luke, she finds everything she could ever want but still leaving to find her true identity is an important task she must do. When she heads to the city little does she know that she will come closer to the truth than she could have imagined and that meeting Jai will change how she feels about Luke, her pack family/life and her truth.
Though I did not read the series in the suggested order, it was still a great read. I highly suggest to read the books in the order suggested by the author. It creates a comprehensible flow and storyline.

The main character....

Reviewed in the United States on October 23, 2017

Verified Purchase

The book is okay, I just got irritated with the main character for half the book. At first she recognized that Luke was her mate, and he claimed her as such, yet decides to turn him down and starts questioning feeling something for someone else the minute someone new starts being nice to her. Its pathetic in my opinion. Throw away someone who told you hes known you were his for over 5 years, just to turn around and think your potentially falling for someone who you met less than a few days ago because he is being nice? Glad she got the head out of her butt once she figured out they were related. Made me more mad at her when he out right said he wanted to be friends and she wanted to try and push for more. Also, shes mad that her adoptive mother "stole" her from her family. The woman out right admitted that the only ones she saw was the mother and Maya, never saw the father or brother, and decided to save the little girl who wouldn't let go of the woman who saved her life. It was possible she had no knowledge of there being a father or other family in the picture, yet the Maya is too immature to think of what could have happened if the her adoptive mom left her there. Adopting a child is one of the purest ways to show an unselfish act of love. The book is okay, just the character left me not rating the book overall very high. The story had good bones, just the main character made me want to pull my hair out.

Maya and Luke's story - WOW

Reviewed in the United States on February 8, 2018

Verified Purchase

Maya is a human brought up by wolves and when she finds that out she puts her love life on hold to find out who her birth parents are. Luke is her best friend growing up and he is a shifter. Will their feelings for each other last while she is away? When she finds out who her birth parents are will she be drawn to them or go back to her wolf mother Akasha? This is a great thrilling love story you just have to read, especially if you love shifters. I love the way Laxmi gets into her characters making them come to life.

Unique Story

Reviewed in the United States on September 9, 2017

Verified Purchase

This is not my usual type of shifter story. This shifter story takes place in the future. Weather and tsunami's ravage the earth in 2014 and everyone is moving to cities like Bombay where cities prospered after the tsunami's. The Russian shifters move to Bombay and make a life for themselves outside the city of Bombay. The feral are humans that became shifters as a result of disease and genetic anomalies. The Russian shifters took over their area and now the feral bow to the Alpha. This story is about the daughter of the Alpha, Maya and Luke, her childhood friend. As a first book, this book does well in describing the world they live in and the society of humans and shifters. I feel the story is stiff at times, but that maybe hard because we are looking through the eyes of an eighteen year old. Eighteen year old emotions can be rampant at times and Laxmi Hariharan lets her heroine emotions run loose. The responsibility the author throws at this girl is unbelievable and for her to emotionally hold up seems impossible. Fortunately the author writes in her mate and the core pack support of her, otherwise this book would be unbelievable. The plot is self supporting and can be carried into the next books of this series. This book can standalone, and for the moment it is an HEA.

First steps into the new world

Reviewed in the United States on August 14, 2018

Getting this first look into the world after its "end" is amazing. Seeing Luke and Maya grow and change is wonderful. Maya finding out truths that never should have been hidden from her makes it so much easier to enjoy reading about her growing emotionally from a young girl and into a woman. Luke being a sweetheart and waiting on Maya and just being an all around wonderful make adds the perfect amount of sizzle to this story. I fully enjoyed following these two through their trials and different obsticales to their happily ever after.

A human girl raised by wolf shifters sets out to find her blood family. A heartfelt sorry, as the girl leans there is more for her in the life she was raised. The love for her shifter family is all that she needs , she realizes that she always meant to be with. A very beautiful story of a real love for a family that she set out to find , only to find it was there in front of her all along, they were her true family.

I have read and enjoyed quite a few books by Lexi Hariharan. I enjoy the wolf shifter genre and Feral did not disappoint. Maya is raised in a wolf shifter pack. She has turned 18 and still has not shifted. When she finds out why, her world is turned upside down. The only constant for her is Luke. If you enjoy wolf shifter stories, in my opinion, you will enjoy Feral.

This is just the introduction into to the Many Lives Series but a necessary part. It explains all the turmoil that the shifters and humans have gone through and what is yet to face. The characters are well written and full. You can feel the emotions between Maya, Luke and the pack. I can't wait to read the next book. A must read! I recieved this arc and volunteered to review it.

A human girl drawn up in a wolf pack

Reviewed in Germany on February 2, 2017

This is my first book from the author Laxmi Harihan, but not the last.
I think to be able to understand it even better, I should only have read the other books first.
But, it is nevertheless well written. Also I would have prefered a little bit more background of the
characters. Because I am a curious person, I will read not only the previous books but also the
continuation of the series.

I enjoyed reading this book.

Maya believes she is a wolf, as she runs through the trees she wonders why she hasn't shifted.

This starts Maya on a journey of discovery, heart ache and finding where she belongs.
