Roman legend has it that Romulus and Remus, twin sons of Rhea Silvia and Mars, were raised by wolves. Rhea Silvia was a priestess, and when it was found that she had been pregnant and had had children, the local King Amulius ordered her to be buried alive and for the children to be killed. The servant who was given the order set them in a basket on the Tiber river instead and the children were taken by Tiberinus, the river god, to the shore where a she-wolf found them and raised them until they were discovered as toddlers by a shepherd named Faustulus. He and his wife Acca Larentia, who had always wanted a child but never had one, raised the twins, who would later figure prominently in the events leading up to the founding of Rome (named after Romulus, who eventually killed Remus in a fight over whether the city should be founded on the Palatine Hill or the Aventine Hill).[7]

Following the 2008 disclosure by Belgian newspaper Le Soir[8] that the bestselling book Misha: A Mémoire of the Holocaust Years and movie Survivre avec les loups (Survival with Wolves) was a media hoax, the French media debated the credulity with which numerous cases of feral children have been blindly accepted. Although there are numerous books on these children, almost none of them have been based on archives, the authors instead using rather dubious second or third-hand printed information. According to the French surgeon Serge Aroles, who wrote a general study of feral children based on archives (L'Enigme des Enfants-loups or The Enigma of Wolf-children, 2007), many cases are scandalous swindles or totally fictitious stories.

I love werewolves and Ir've been wanting to read this book. Itk's got a unique twist on werewolf stories in that the MC is not a werewolf, but raised by them. Very cool! I just went to the bookstore today and *almost* bought it! Love your review; sounds like In'm gonna have to head back the bookstore soon!

I loved Raised by Wolves. Bryn is a character I feel that I can relate to. It created a mass-full of suspense where she was trying to decide between the pack and Chase (love interest BTW). Besides her attraction to Chase, there is an abundance of missing children and wolf attacks. If you liked Blood and Chocolate, you'll love this book.
