About this book
I’ve been waiting my whole life to get my wolf. But now that the time is here, I need to run. Three years ago, a nightmare of an alpha took over my pack by force, and ever since, he’s been trying to do the same to me.
I can’t let that happen.
I need to escape him before he can lay a claim, flee from what I’ve always wanted, or risk getting a wolf that will submit to him. But nothing goes to plan. When I’m forced to take on my wolf spirit, my alpha attacks, and the fight shatters us in ways we never knew possible. Now we’re broken. Jagged. Rabid. To punish me, punish us for not submitting, my new wolf and I are thrown away to a savage pack, where we come face to face with Ruin Falls and the biggest monster of them all. Alpha Tyran. But...maybe a monster is exactly what a rabid bitch like me needs. Will my wolf and I snap, lost to our fractured savagery? Or will this ferocious alpha teach us just what our broken nature is capable of? Maybe we can get our revenge....
That is, if we’re rabid enough to take it.
Authors note: This book is a dark shifter romance. There are elements of strong language, violence, assault, and other situations that may be triggering.

Rabid by Ivy Asher and Raven Kennedy is THE best standalone dark shifter romance and that’s a hill I’m willing to die on. Both of these authors are fantasy & paranormal romance queens in their own right — but teamed up? Forget about it. It’s so good it’s not even fair. Rabid is a story of trauma, strength, survival, disconnection and discovering & embracing your true nature. It’s dark, it’s spicy and it has an unexpected depth and rawness that make for a compelling, volatile and emotional read....

Rabid is a dark, unforgettable shifter romance that pulls no punches. The world-building is fierce and immersive, filled with danger, power struggles, and raw ferocity that kept me turning pages. The emotional depth of the characters — their scars, their growth, their fierce bonds — gives the story real weight. The romance is intense and passionate, but it’s woven into a narrative that’s gritty and often brutal. If you love action, angst, complex characters, and chemistry that practically burns...

This book was okay. Seemed a little too long for me. I’ve read good things about this book and would say it’s a little bit overhyped. It wasn’t bad but it wasn’t great. It was an about average book. 3/5 ) One person found this helpful

Have you ever started a book, then had to go to work but the book was so good you kept reading it on the kindle app you installed just to keep reading? If not, read this book! The perfect balance of spice and plot. Gentle enough with trauma to not be super triggering but fittingly prompt and kind with righteous feminine rage when it comes to deserved. Excellent pacing, steady beat forward without feeling railroaded. Characters have good depth for a book this size, enough to feel invested in the...
