Things would be perfect if supernatural disasters would quit creeping up and ruining Giselle’s happy new life. After finally finding the fur-ever home she’s always wanted a witch blows into town promising to reveal the bloody past of Giselle’s birth, and the circumstances that led the little werewolf to end up in the foster care system to begin with. Hot on the witch’s trail, another pack of … of wolves is on the hunt for revenge, and will accept nothing less than her death in retribution for the havoc she’s wrought on them.
Caught in the crossfire, Giselle desires only the truth, and if the witch is who she claims to be, the little werewolf must protect her at any cost. If she’s lying, though, Giselle risks her own kind seeing her as a traitor. Neither her new pack nor her hottie witch boyfriend Damien can offer any help. Giselle is on her own again. And if she makes the wrong decision, she’ll lose the only link she has to her own past.

Absolutely needed this after finishing Pretty Little Werewolf—it was so fun, plus I cannot resist a pretty cover.
This one drops me right back into this world and I’m hooked right off the bat. I’m still enjoying this world, as it’s packed with drama and fun characters. I recommend anything by this author, as this is my third read of hers in recent history and all have been great.
4 stars.
Note:
Audiobook performance was great!
Giselle is in the middle of another mystery. This one is about her and her parents. Her witch boyfriend, Damien, is keeping secrets from her and the regional alpha seems to have a scary connection to her. She is learning to trust her sisters, but there is so much being withheld.
Great YA story. Just the entertainment value is wonderful, but it also teaches the values of friend, family, and doing what’s right, even when you know it will be difficult. I received a free review copy of the audio version of this book in exchange for an honest review.
Giselle finally found the pack she’s been looking for all her life, sisters, a good friend, and a boyfriend who adores her. Life is good. What could possibly happen in this book? Yeah, you know you don’t tempt fate by asking that question!
Suddenly her boyfriend is keeping secrets, her sisters are keeping her distracted from something, a strange woman shows up claiming to be her mom, her mind insists on thinking things it shouldn’t around the totally off limits boy her sister likes and the regional alpha pays a little house visit. Lots of drama in this fast paced read full of secrets, betrayal, and misunderstanding. It all culminates in a final showdown with the highest stakes.
And that was the part where it fell apart for me. The final resolution felt like a set up for book 3, but did not ring true for wolf behavior. Giselle’s tenacity in seeking out the truth, her conflicted emotions over her years of being a lone wolf vs her new reality as a pack member, her introspection and realizations about the boys in her life and her sisters was all well done and matched the character we met in book 1. The reason for her new parents, sisters, boyfriend etc acting the way they did made sense. I don’t know why Giselle was so surprised by Damien – he was true to who he has been since the beginning. The final resolution after the showdown felt wrong. It was out of character for everyone involved.
This is book 2 in the Little Werewolf series. While it is a self-contained story arc, it follows the previous book and has spoilers for book 1. Plus most of the character development is in book 1 so I think it would be best to read the books in order.
I’ve always enjoyed Katie Salida’s writing. It’s fluid, creative, entertaining, informative and holds your interest to the end. I’m so excited to see her Little Werewolf series in an audiobook. Each character is well fleshed out. I love the supernatural existing in Las Vegas what a perfect setting. And I really think she does a marvelous job expressing the young adult challenges showing that the shifter werewolf community has similar growing pains with their Alpha teens as any normal family. In book 2, Curious Little Werewolf, the main character deals with the question of her adoption as her supposed real mother shows up. I love that she questions everything, takes nothing for granted and keeps investigating until she gets to the truth, which is causing a big stink in the community. The narrator, Kelli Tager does a wonderful job with the story, she made it so easy and enjoyable to listen to.

Having a boyfriend and thinking on another had Giselle’s feelings somewhat confused. Besides, there was the trust issue worrying her. What she was missing there? When a woman who looked like a witch, arrived town, more secrets were playing around. A whole new mystery that directly affected Giselle and she was committed to unfold. But a strong will was not enough to deal with the matters at hand. She was emotionally invested and needed his friends help and trust. Interesting and intense this second book where Giselle was dealing with strong emotions that threatened her trust on those she considered dearest. With a new twist that was challenging her new family, the witches and Asher’s pack, Giselle fights the pack and witches’ politics ignoring the conventionalism keeping the suspense and my interest in the outcoming of her actions. Good and strong character with a clear idea of what she considers fair no matter her safety. Entertaining and interesting story with action, suspense, growing pains, some amusing scenes an exciting fight and answers to mend a pain dragged for too long. A story I enjoyed very much.
Couldn’t Put It Down
Talk about on the edge of your seat for the whole ride. Sometimes I just wanted to throw the book, hell I even screamed at it. But the book gives you suspense all the way thru. Who is good, who is bad? You just don’t know page to page and he makes you not want to put it down. I read it in a night working, that’s how good it was.
As for a lesson to be learned, I always seem to find them in Katie’s books. Always follow what you believe it, trust yourself and your closet friends. Also he never does well when you hide secrets from the ones your suppose to love.
Once again Katie did a wonderful job and I would love to see more of Giselle’s future.
Until Next Time…….Tabi Ann
