Steamy fun with good narrators and a twisty ending

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.

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!

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. 👀

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!

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.

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.
