In Peter’s eyes, Damon Prince was a lot of things.1. A fierce, dangerously capable alpha. 2. An annoyingly (endearingly) protective asshat.3. The sexiest man on the planet. (He was a pretty good kisser too.) Damon would argue that Peter ought to add big, bad wolf to the list. Emphasis on the bad part. Damon had never made to hide the fact that he was the villain in the strange, supernatural turn … the fact that he was the villain in the strange, supernatural turn Peter’s life had taken since being bitten. He had shoved that little tidbit down Peter’s throat even. (Peter wished the man would consider shoving other things down his throat – things that weren’t “little” in the slightest.)
He took every opportunity to remind Peter of his violent past, to hammer it through his skull that he wasn’t a good guy. That there was blood on his hands.
But the thing of it was, Peter had never truly believed him. (How could he when those supposedly blood-stained hands were always so gentle with him?)
Peter had long ago come to the conclusion that Damon wasn’t nearly as big and bad as the man wanted him to think.
…until suddenly, he was.
Big Bad is the second book in the Big Bad Wolves series, and the sequel to Little Red. It is highly recommended you read the books in order.

Big Bad (Big Bad Wolves Book Two) by Queenie Wise is an amazing story that I have read. This is book number two in this amazing series that I have read and can not wait to read more from this author. I highly recommend this story to everyone who loves reading about LBGT and paranormal romances.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
I said about the first book that I wanted to see more of this world and where the characters went, but through parts of this book I almost wished I hadn’t, kind of like having to watch a scary movie through your fingers. You really, really want to know what happens but you kind of need a protective filter. Peter and Damon are still wonderful characters and Peter is even stronger in this story, but he has to be. We learn some hard truths about Damon that will almost break your heart and Peter has some secrets of his own to discover. I absolutely cannot wait to read the final volume of this trilogy. I never expected it to be this complex, dark and yet wonderfully snarky at the same time.
The second book progresses along nicely.
We learn more abut Peter and Damon. Not much has changed about Damon’s dominating alpha ways, and Peter still harbors a flair for the dramatic. I do, however, hold a lot of respect for Damon waiting for Peter to come into his own before the steaminess really began. Ha Ha – Peter was not amused by that plan.
I really want to see these two come together in book three.

I love Peter’s snarky, sassy humor! I laughed out loud a few times with Peter’s internal dialogue. Damon is big and gruff, but a sweet teddy bear. Peter is still trying to find his place within the pack. I love this story line; I loved this one as much as the first. I cannot wait to see what the author has in store for us next. I am voluntarily leaving a review from an advanced copy that I received. My reviews are solely based on my thoughts and opinions.
I must admit I was a little nervous to read this book. The first book was so good, adding the pressure for the second book to be just as good or better. Well? I loved this book! I’m usually not one for drama, but I think it fit the story and characters well. Plus, it didn’t just drag on, but the story continued to develop as the drama was worked through. The secondary characters, especially Peter’s pack, are only more lovable in this book! The way the story plays out is satisfying and we finally get the relationship development we all wanted after the tension of the first book. Plus, there’s a plot development that should make everyone happy.
There will be a third book and I can’t wait to read it. I’m not sure where the author will take the story but I trust that the book will be another winner in this series. Shifter stories seem to fall into a rut of recycling the same characters and stories over and over, but this series is unique and engaging and so worth the read!
In this second book in the series, the story continued where book 1 finishes. Peter and Damon’s relationship got stronger but again they need to fight against who is trying to separate them. The plot kept me stick to the book all the time trying to see what happens next with the many angst situations throughout the book. The dialogues and interactions between the characters were so well managed that sometimes I wanted to corner Damon and drill sense into him… It was so infuriating! Wonderful reading!!
I received this book as an ARC and this is my honest opinion.
Time always gives one perspective, clarity and a chance to make better choices! Peter is going through typical growing pains. Damon is acting like a typical guardiant knowing what’s best and trying to be protective, but doing it all wrong. Trying to do the right thing, be the best person while weighed down by unfulfilled frustrated needs. Peter on the cusp of manhood emotionally feels he jumped over the cusp months ago. Peter’s inner dialogue is absolutely the funniest! But he is reslly immature and naive! Peter makes questionable choices and Damon rationalizes why they are okay. They have a few really entertaining adventures that affect a lot of people. I really liked this story and I loved the pack. I thought werewolves had superhearing and sense of smell? Will Peter grow up? Will Damon man up and take Peter as his partner? I received an ARC from Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
