Story
I’m changed beyond return, my life torn apart by the god who forced this fate upon me. Now I’m a creature of ruin and bloodshed, but the price I’ve paid comes with the sweetest of gifts. The prince who claimed my heart has seized me once again, but this time, I’m on equal ground. I’m strong enough to fight at his side and face the wrath of our enemies, but some dark plot is brewing in the city, and I fear what’s coming.

Steamy fun with good narrators and a twisty ending
Reviewed: 06-22-24
Obsessed with this revamped series and thoroughly enjoyed this installment! Things were going pretty well, then in true Twisted Sister fashion, the last 15% was pure chaos. The cliffy is cliffing me! I am so invested in these characters. Must know how things are going to play out after that crazy turn of events. Please give us the next audiobook ASAP!
Am I starting to feel bad for Fabian? 🤭 There is a new potential relationship on the horizon (that I initially noticed in the previous book). 😍 I seriously dislike emeralds. 😠😫
🎧 Worth the credit. Troy Duran and Michelle Sparks are often reliable narrators for me. Despite this not being my favorite performance, it was still a worthwhile listen. I wish the Twisted Sisters audiobooks would get the duet narration treatment.

Abducted from a life of privilege, she was sold into slavery in a distant land. For Lady Janet Leslie there would be no escaping the harem of the wealthy and powerful Sultan Selim. But from the moment the handsome ruler spied his breathtaking "Cyra," he was captivated—by the fiery desire that coursed through his veins. She belonged to him, body and soul-yet it was he who was enslaved.

A gripping read for those who appreciate a romance that strikes with profound depth and realism.
Janet Leslie might be the only other of Small’s heroines to rival the indomitable Skye O’Malley. If you have not read the O’Malley saga, I highly recommend reading it after completing this duet. The late and great Bertrice Small will not be for everyone, and I can respect that. The romance is as hard-hitting as it is captivating. She doesn't shy away from depicting the raw and often harsh realities of love and power in a historical context. The relationships are richly layered and emotionally intense, bringing forth both the passion and the pain. Small integrates romantic elements seamlessly into a broader historical narrative, creating a story that is both deeply personal and epic in scope.
🎧 Worth the credit! Jessica Bright delivered a solid performance that allowed me to get lost in the story. I recommend speeding up the reading pace for all of her audiobooks. I typically listen between 1.7-2x speed. A massive thank you to Audible. Additionally, shoutout to one of my favorite audiobook publishers, Tantor Audio, for recording some of my favorite authors with quality productions.
Thank you for taking the time to read my review and happy listening!

I’m torn in two. The mark of the gods has bound me to my mortal enemy, and not even the most desperate yearnings of my heart can break this tie. Between the slayer’s vow and the cruel tricks of Idun, my free will has been stolen from me. All I can hope for now, is that my sister and I can find a path to salvation, but it feels as though we’re walking a path to our ruin instead.

THE SHORT:
You cannot go wrong with Troy Duran and Michelle Sparks. They bring the feels. The audiobook is A+!
If you are familiar with CP+SV’s books, you know it’s pure chaos in the last 15%. The plot advanced, and I eagerly anticipate the next installment.
THOUGHTS & REACTIONS:
I am enjoying the flashbacks of the slayers and the royals—they add depth as their histories are gradually uncovered, yet the story remains largely shrouded in mystery. If there is one thing the Twisted Sisters consistently deliver, it's lovable characters and despicable villains. Usually, I rely on Julius for funnies, but this time, Fabian had me chuckling at his expense. The statues scene had me howling. The action kept me on the edge of my seat. New fear unlocked—vampires that swim. I know what you're thinking. That may not seem scary, but remember, vampires don't need to breathe. So, it's stealthy, sneaky, creepy, and ultimately undetectable. 😨 As a spicy gal, I appreciated that tower rendezvous. 🫠 I'm excited to see the relationships develop further after that fantastic ending! I’ll just be sitting here whisper shouting, I’m-watching you-Valentina, until the Forsaken Relic audiobook is published. 👀

We are all and nothing now, our fate weighed on the scales of the stars and counterbalanced by the forces that oppose us. The shadow of the false king spreads as thick as oil across the kingdom we were born to rule, and none remain untouched by its darkness. Our crowns lay within reach if only we can claim them. All souls are at risk now and when the final battle dawns, a new regime will rise.

Reviewed: 04-23-24
The Twisted Sisters promised a worthy ending for each beloved character, and they delivered. It was so good. As a Zodiaddict, I am feeling bittersweet. I'm happy we finally have the whole story, yet despondent that it’s over. Zodiac Academy has embedded itself in my heart. I have never laughed or cried more throughout a series. The characters have become family, and I will cherish them forever.
I am grateful for the audiobook’s release on publication day! I have to listen while I read and highlight on Kindle—there is no other way. At this point, we are all very familiar and comfortable with the Bordeaux’s voicing our Solarian besties. Kudos to another good performance.
Worth the credit!
Worth the wait!
Worth the therapy bill!
*Now is the perfect time to start the Darkmore Penitentiary series to continue Rosalie’s story. I am looking forward to book 4 in that series!

When past and present collide, the fallout feels like the death of my morality. Every time I look into Kallum’s clashing, feverish eyes, I see a dark omen—the threat of what we’ll do to each other if our desires run wild. While the Hollow’s Row case comes to a head, a new heinous player enters the scene. As the Alchemist threatens the town, I’m torn between a promise to help my friend, and my loyalty to Kallum—the man who has sacrificed everything for me. I’ve created a monster—but he’s my monster.

They say eyes are the windows to the soul—but when he looks at me through hues of slate-green and flaring blue embers, I'm terrified of what's watching me from behind his clashing gaze, something primal and feverish that threatens to melt me like fire in ice. I fear falling into Kallum Locke's pitch-black soul. But after I'm called to a crime scene to investigate the most gruesome act of violence to descend on the legendary town of Hollow's Row, I have no choice but to turn to Kallum, to the man I had locked away in an asylum for the criminally insane.

The one I was supposed to take, the one I should have killed–I didn't. The cult that once controlled me wants her, and I'm not about to lose my new toy to them.

SCREAMING! 🤩 This is leagues better than the GA adaptation for Part 1! It feels like an entirely different production and cast. The sound effects were spot on. The voices were a better fit. The music is pretty cheesy but not distracting. The spicy scenes rewired my brain. 😳🤭 I cannot decide if I am uncomfortable or turned on. I, undoubtedly, am entertained. Re-listen worthy✔️ Great for a reread✔️ Bravo, GraphicAudio!

Often, if a book elicits an emotional response, I consider it a good read. Nick and Noah took me on a journey. The parts with Sophia made me so mad! There were heart-stopping scares and beautiful tender moments. The epilogue was everything I wanted and more!
🎙️ Hannah Carmona delivered a stellar performance! Hugo Locke also performed well, but I don’t feel his voice fit Nick. Overall, the audiobook was a good angsty listen.

Leaving my husband was hard. Trying to face the world alone with my teenage daughter is the sort of thing nightmares are made of, but I caught a break. My best friend just hired me for a great job, with perks like a rent-free house right beside not just one handsome man, but five! Each one is hotter than the last, and all of them seem interested in me. But everyone around us has these strange golden eyes...and there are the questions no one will answer. And who cares if there's a lot of wildlife running around at night? I do, especially when a wolf keeps sneaking into my backyard.

As someone with a B.S. degree in Lycanthropy, I enjoyed meeting the community of Wolf’s Run. The mother-daughter relationship was reasonably accurate—the teenage pushback! The men were charming, and I appreciated the FMC's unique bond with each MMC.
Overall, Wolf’s Bane is a fun first book in a completed trilogy by a new-to-me author and a steamy escape to enjoy on a cold winter day.
