5.0 out of 5 stars This one will keep you up late!
Reviewed in the United States on June 26, 2014

Wow, what an intense, action packed ride! I had to stay up way too late last night to finish, what I believe to be Kendig's best novel yet! Man are her characters believable! Reading this novel, felt like sitting through a movie on the edge of my seat most of the time.

Let's go beyond the well fleshed out characters, the suspenseful plot; this story had heart to it. Kendig shows us pieces of ourselves and of life, and they are not all puppies and roses. There are hard things we face in this life, at times evil seems to have the upper hand but we must remember God is with us, God is for us. Do we trust Him? Are we willing to surrender all to Him and let Him work things out? Many times, if we are honest, we fail; we try to do things in our own strength and in our way. We are prideful. We are sinful.

This book is not your typical Christian fiction, there are some surprises packed in here. There is a message beneath all the suspense, the pain, the betrayals and sin. A message that is not preachy but real, honest and so well crafted that it grabs you. Yes, we live in a fallen world, and yes, all of us have sinned. The question is what do we do in response? Hopefully, there is repentance of our sin, a turning to God. Still, sin has consequences, some reaching beyond us and touching the lives of others. Do we also, take responsibility for our mistakes, do we try to make amends?

I applaud Kendig on a superbly written novel. I loved the realness of her characters. I loved the Metcalfe family... You could do a whole series on this family alone! (And I wish she would). Kendig hits all the bases with this one - mystery, suspense, action, romance, drama, faith and more; and she brings it all in for a home run! Fantastic

I gave this book five stars as I have the first three books in this series because of the content, tremendous story line filled with suspense and mystery. Along with the others in this series the author kept you spell bound by making the story line and all the characters completely believable. Really drew you in. However, my only disappointment, if you want to call it that, was toward the end of the story, she inserted herself into the plot by, it seemed, showing her bias toward a political party by naming them the bad guy. I felt like the story line would have been much more interesting if the author, instead of naming a political party the bad guy, left it up to the reader to do with what they would. I don't think it did anything to enhance the story line. Just saying....

5.0 out of 5 stars Must Read Series!!

Did y’all hear that? That was me releasing the breath I held almost the entire time I read Wolfsbane. WOW! Ronie Kendig, I love you, but you can put your characters in some horrible situations! Right when you start thinking they are safe and that everything’s going to work out - BAM! No! Something happens to, once again, make your heart start racing.

I LOVE this book, no, this series! It is awesome! As I’ve said before, Ronie Kendig writes the BEST male characters. Right now, the Discarded Heroes are all fighting TOX for the best male character ever! (Don’t worry TOX. You’re still safe) She pens the best camaraderie, great plot twists, and just an all around incredible story. Both Canyon and Danielle have gone through some really horrible things. You feel empathy for them from the get go. They are such great characters, in part, because they are so real. I will admit at one point in the book, I got a bit concerned, but I should have just trusted Ronie, because in the end, she always makes it right.

I’m telling you, these books should all be made into movies! Her consistency is amazing. 5 stars for this book is not enough! Next up, Firethorn!

That one word describes the whole book: AWESOME.
Phew, what a great read! What an action, suspense, adrenaline filled read!
Everytime I read another book by Ronie Kendig I'm convinced it was her best yet.

Canyon Metcalfe is a guy I could easily love. Maybe because he's a bit like my husband. :) None of his problems are related to my husband, but the way he handles things is alike, so that tells a lot about Ronie's excellent imagination!

Danielle Roark was captured, tortured and raped in Venezuela. She escaped with shocking proof that the cruel general that kept her for six months has secret weapons, but at home the American government doesn't believe her. She has to go back to that awful place to come up with more proof.

Canyon's brother rescued Danielle out of the ocean when she escaped Venezuela. He falls in love with Dani, but she's not interested in men--until she meets Canyon. Canyon likes her too, but because of a promise he made to his brother he can't pursue her. Things get complicated when Nightshade must escort Danielle back to Venezuela. Can Canyon live up to that promise?
Is Nightshade capable to find the proof and keep Danielle safe?

This book is so fast paced that you hardly have time to take a calming breath before the next action.
Action- adventure- military- suspense and romance lovers--this book is for you!

5.0 out of 5 stars Gritty & packed with emotion!

One of my FAVOURITE suspense books of all time. Geez. So jam-packed with gritty emotions and circumstances and characters that feel so real and relatable. Every minute I was on the edge of my seat--cheering, then wailing "noo!" from scene to scene.
What a feast for the reading senses.
The romance--what even.
The characters--yes, please. Canyon & Dani--like opposites attract in THE BEST WAY. Their relationship. SWOON. I feel like I could read five books all about them and never get bored.
The plot--it's basically the perfect storm.

IT WILL HAVE YOU ON TENTERHOOKS THE WHOLE TIME, YO. Just do yourself a favour and if you even remotely like romantic suspense or military fiction--go buy and read this book. Do it. Do it now. Righttt nowwwww. Gooooooooooooo!!! #FragOut

I wouldn't recommend this one for younger readers as it has some pretty intense mature themes, including rape, suicide, sex and some other things--it's just better for adult readers, methinks.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of my most favourite books EVER!
Reviewed in Australia on June 2, 2018
Verified Purchase
This book is one of my all-time favourite books EVER! It’s intense, gritty, action-packed, and loaded with testosterone, and there’s something about the rawness of both Canyon and Dani that digs in and grabs hold of me every time I open its pages. It doesn’t matter that I know what’s coming; I get sucked in every. single. time. By their stories and their relationship.

Individually, Canyon and Dani have the kind of histories that would scar a person for life, but neither has the kind of temperament that allows that to defeat them. They get up and push on, despite life’s brutality. It’s this grit and determination that makes them both such compelling characters—the more so when their vulnerabilities are exposed and they stumble. But as Canyon’s brother wisely says: “We all make mistakes. It’s what we do after them that determines our character.” And, well, mistakes notwithstanding, I have so much love for these characters!

In fact, I love the whole Nightshade team. No one does elite warriors like Ronie Kendig, and she captures this team brilliantly in all its different shades (no pun intended!): the precision teamwork, the pressure-cooker of emotions, the to-the-death loyalty, the chest-beating, and the larrikinism! And then there’s the Metcalfe family. I have a feeling there are a few stories there waiting to be told!

If you love high-stakes suspense and strong, authentic characters, then Wolfsbane needs to be on your shelf.

5.0 out of 5 stars Yet another gripping book by Ronie Kendig
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 30, 2013

Well what can I say this is yet another gripping novel from Ronie Kendig, it is the 3rd in her series of Discarded Heroes and you are really beginning to think you know these men. I think Wolfsbane is by far the best (so far,I'm yet to read Firethorn), I love the way she mixes in about faith in God and not in a way that leaves me thinking 'and in the real world!', there are struggles in trying to make sense in how God could allow certain things to happen to then as time unfolds seeing His plan & purpose come about. For someone like myself who is not into full on romance novels but likes a mixture these novels are great with gun fights, tactical manoeuvres, personal struggles & romance.

5.0 out of 5 stars Original and Revised Versions both Excellent
Reviewed in Canada on August 10, 2018

I read the original novel when it first came out and loved it. Wolfsbane rapid fire update is even better except for the few typos. For best enjoyment, please read the series in order and for reference this is book 3.

Ronie Kendig does complicated well. Loads of difficulties, oodles of characters, massive suspense. You step into action and it doesn’t let you out of its grip. Midas and Dani are well developed personalities and I was happy to come along for the ride. Albeit glad to be reading about their adventures and not participating alongside them.

Of the books in this series, Wolfsbane is my favourite because it tugged on my heart strings the most. The additional word count in the update is worth your time and money. PS Might want to keep some tissues handy.
