The Wolf Experiment
About
In Doford Peaks, a small mountain town, 19-year-old Ethan lives with his grandma. His life is quite normal, at least as normal as it can be for someone with asthma. A winter morning walk turns dramatic when he and his grandma discover an 18-year-old girl, Mia, who is unconscious and injured. As Mia recovers, bits of her past emerge, attracting agents Gibson and Cooper of the Bureau of Supernatural Investigation (BSI). A complex web of secrets associated with the Defense Forces of Genesis (DFOG) intertwines their fates. As the truth emerges, Ethan and Mia must face the horrifying reality of The Wolf Experiment.
As the agents’ investigation intensifies, Ethan and Mia are thrust into a dangerous world that reaches far outside the quiet borders of Doford Peaks. Each new discovery brings them closer to DFOG’s chilling operations, putting their safety at risk as they become entangled in a high-stakes mission with consequences that could affect many lives. With danger around every corner and the threat of The Wolf Experiment looming, Ethan and Mia must use all their courage and determination to survive forces determined to keep DFOG’s secrets buried.

Praise for this book
The Wolf Experiment by Laura Daleo is a Paranormal Fantasy that blew me away, capturing the imagination of a fantasy and the phenomena of a paranormal thriller. The book takes place in a small town nestled in a mountainous region of the country. The book's MMC is Ethan, a nineteen-year-old with a chronic breathing disorder, who prefers his two wolves, Gracie and Hank, over humans companionship. Ethan lives with his grandmother, who happens to be the town’s doctor. Ethan’s parents are also doctors, but he hasn’t seen them in sixteen years. While on a walk one day with his grandmother, the two wolves pick up a scent and lead the pair to a cave. Upon entering the cave, Ethan and his grandmother find an unconscious, wounded, and seriously dehydrated young woman, wearing a hospital gown, whom they save. They learn the girl’s name is Mia, but little else. As Mia is healing, she and Ethan begin to feel a connection, and it grows stronger with each day. When a strange event occurs involving Mia, her story begins to unravel, and Ethan learns that Mia is involved in a clandestine, black-ops government operation that could put everyone in deadly jeopardy.
Laura Daleo does a fabulous job of constructing a thrilling, thoughtful, and dramatic paranormal story. The story is highly emotional in many aspects, especially the relationship between Ethan and Mia. The plot was cleverly written from dark and ominous to sweet and romantic, and the pages seem to turn themselves. The pacing is steady, and the action is incredible, with heart-pounding excitement to keep the reader wanting more. This is a book that is hard to put down and is guaranteed to satisfy the itch that most paranormal thriller readers are seeking. I voluntarily reviewed an Advanced Reader's Copy of this book.
