This Dark Wolf: Soul Bitten Shifter Book 1

This story is like no other that I’ve read. It has the same characters you’ve come to love in a good shifter story. With one little twist. Tessa’s wolf is like no others. She finds herself struggling between excepting her differences and fighting her fear of what she truly is. The story takes you through her journey of finding her place in society as a Shifter that everyone fears. Tristan although surly and angry is always by her side. She will soon discover the discord between the different clans of shifters involves way more than anyone could’ve comprehended. This is the beginning of what I’m hoping is going to be a ride like no other. It’s exactly what we’ve come to expect from Everly Frost.

Dark Wolf by Everly Frost
Wow! Can I just say wow?! This newest urban fantasy by Everly Frost sucked me in right from the very first page! It’s been a while since a book has sucked me in like this. I read a lot of fantasy and sci-fi and one of the things that I loved about this book is she takes something you think you know, like wolf shifters, and creates something completely new and exciting. Fast paced, full of twists, turns, suspense and sizzle, I could not put this book down..! I fell in love with the main character Tessa,and many of the other characters as well but I don’t want to spoil the story for you. The heroine Tessa is feisty, kick-ass and completely relatable. I really love this character and can’t wait to read the next book. Warning, there is a definite cliff-hanger but in such a good way..! Has me dying to read the next book which I am sure won’t disappoint either. If you love great action scenes, strong-willed female heroines, sexy alphas(that need a reality check), plot twists and lots of magic this book is perfect for you! Note, this is definitely an adult read, or at least 15+ (in my opinion) because Tessa is in her early twenties and there is tasteful adult content.
Absolutely loved this book and highly recommend Dark Wolf by Everly Frost!

Really good- it gives a nice twist on standard shifter fiction. There’s many twists and turn to keep the reader interested, with great character development along the way. I also see a lot of opportunity for spin off series for other characters/areas of the story.

It was a great read 🙂

Incredible
I finished this book last night and I’m still struggling (next day, 2 pm) to find the right words that can describe how f’ing wonderful this book is!!!
The intensity and darkness of this story is so f’ing much!!!… I felt all kind of emotions through the chapters, mainly angst and hate
Tessa is a wonderful soul, bullied all her life for being different but, as she learns more about herself and with the help of a bunch of amazing women, she is becoming the main piece of a battle she just got caught herself into, a battle she may be physically strong enough to withstand but, will her heart survive???
Action-packed, amazing story line, great world building and wonderful side characters, this book just became my favorite of Everly’s so far!!!
Oh, and lets not forget about the super hot, a**ole, alpha, Tristan… Oh my, how many book boyfriends can a girl have??? #ILickedHim #heismine
A phenomenal MUST read start of a new series!!!

This Dark Wolf is action packed from the very first chapter. Everly’s characters and world building is phenomenal and in those first few scenes you can truly picture the novel come to life right down to minute details

I love that Everly’s characters are not teenagers who are forced to defend the world the moment their powers come into play! It opens the world for more readers to engage Everly’s work and enjoy fantasising about the characters without being dirty old pervs!

The friendship Tessa forms with the girls from Hidden House are friendship goals! The vamp Iyana and the hawk shifter Danika are total badass fighters with a sweet side for Tessa! Helen is the mother type Tessa needs in times her girls aren’t there and I hope we see more of her too! Can’t wait to get more juicy details of Ella and Jace! Their story needs to be heard!

Everly writes it in a way that you love/hate Tristan even though from the moment he entered the scene he was doing all he can to protect Tessa! And then there is Cody who you truly hate at the start now has me hoping for an MFM novel!

This has been a truly amazing adventure, worth losing sleep from and would have to be closing in on the best work Everly has written to date! I absolutely love her Bright Wicked trilogy and this is sitting at pole position with that! Will definitely be buying the set in paperback when its available!

I received a free copy of this book via the author Everly Frost and I am voluntarily leaving an honest review.

Holy flying shifter babies! I thought I was prepared for this book, or well as prepared as I could ever be, but nope I was very wrong!

This book flew past all my wild expectations and only proves what a spectacular storyteller Everly is. She seriously outdoes herself with every new book she writes and is forever blowing me away. Like how? Just how do you do it? By this point I really should stop being surprised…especially since the first book of yours I read, I was a goner…but with every book I read, I can’t help it…your words take over and it’s poof I go, transported into yet another world of unbelievable craftsmanship….and they never cease to amaze me. I dunno how she does it.

It doesn’t matter how you do it…whether you use fairy dust or some other crazy thing off the paranormal black market…but girl, I give you all the permission in the world, to do with my heart as you will…(ummm that kinda sounds like I’m offering my heart in a black market trade lol…but sure yeah why not ). No, but seriously, I trust this amazingly talented soul with my heart. She has never let me down in her books…yeah, she takes us on a tortuous, emotional ride, for sure but never lets a reader down. I know this series will be no different! But I’m still legit freaking out…coz this book has a heck of a cliffy. Like it’s weird but I’m thinking ahead to the ending of what the second book will be like…I know that’s weird, but if you’ve ever read a book by Everly, you know that the cliffhanger on book two is always the one that truly gives you a hit…so yeah, if book one is already ending like that…book two is gonna be so much worse! Just sayin’

Regardless of all this though, I am now truly obsessed and invested in this new story, that Everly has written. All it took was one page. Wait, not even that really. One sentence. But the more I read, the more my heart just connected itself and melded to the story. There was just something so gravitating, powerful and unique about this book. I have truly read nothing like this, and especially not within the shifter world. It owns my heart….and the torment that it leaves you in is something else. It’ll leave you panting but at the same time, you’ll still want more. I’m crazy like that.

My emotions are havoc and my heart is hurting so bad. Everly is upping her game and I don’t know if I’ll survive it. Especially with that ending. As I always say, it’s one thing to have strong inklings as to where it’s leading but its a whole new thing when it happens. And I’m not okay. I already had to eat my feelings in ice-cream with chocolate topping and Milo and now writing this review…I’m just like okay, I think I need more chocolate goodness.

Man, I just, I’m barely thinking properly, to even express how much I loved this book…I wish there was a way to best get across the awesome-sauciness of this book…but the closest I can get is the excitement level of a kid, in the kitchen, when the sugar is being added but then tries to steal the sugar instead. I think that sums it up nicely.

This book will seriously give you every feel in the world. I felt like I was getting emotional whiplash. No kidding.

The characters and build of the story tempo were done to perfection, I can’t see how it could’ve been any better. You can’t help but love the characters and want to karate chop the awful ones…if you anything like me. I’ve been working on my moves to prepare for this moment lol (I think Tessa and the other kick-butt chicks would do waaaay better than me though haha).

There’s this one person though, that I don’t know how to feel about. I seriously just turned into a teen girl not being able to make their mind up. From the beginning I was like nope…don’t like you…but I then felt bad for him, right after the moment I decided I didn’t want to like him…but skip ahead to the end…and I’m like okay…do I like you now? And I’m just not sure. I guess time will tell haha but man the dilemmas lol.

So, you’ve heard my thoughts on this book…but I haven’t told you anything about it yet…and I just know this isn’t going to be easy.

Okay, onto a short summary of this awesome book! So we have Tessa, a rare type of wolf shifter. She’s had a bit of a tough life because of it, and isn’t really a part of a pack…but that’s all about to change, sorta. When Alpha’s/Alpha’s-in-training come into their territory, for a meeting, things get out of hand really fast. Her brother, if you even can call him that, brings some of these wolves to “see” his sister…and when I say see I mean, basically to give her a good butt-kicking…but Tessa has other ideas. Sick of being bullied and made to feel less, she fights back for the first time. Surprising them all…and when I say surprising, I mean knocks them on their butts. This is when we get to meet one of the most ruthless Alpha’s out there. Tristan Masters.

Whilst the other packs decide what to do with Tessa, Tristan steps in or should I say jumps in and fights for her to be in his pack. Of course, he wins…and escapes away with her (coz obviously the others wouldn’t let her go that easily)….and takes her to a safehouse for women who are in danger…and leaves her to heal and learn to control her power (yeah, I’m not expanding on that lol). But mister Tristan has plans for her. Plans that involve her taking down his enemies.

Tristan wants to control her and command her as if she belongs to him…but Tessa is done with being controlled and commanded. She will learn what she must and take the time to heal, both emotionally and physically.

The safehouse provides her with everything she needs and in her time there…she finds a place she can belong…a family, a pack. You guys are going to love these characters. I particularly got attached to Danika and Iyana…but I also was really taken to Helen and how she cares for all these women. The moment she stands up for Tessa, it hit me in the feels as no one had ever really done that for our girl before. These women are something else…and are determined to stick by Tessa no matter what. It was really beautiful to see as their kinship budded.

Nothing will be easy. In fact, problems just seem to be piling up, one after the other around them. If it’s not the threat on Tristan’s pack, then it’s something else. Tristan’s set on saving his pack and the longer Tessa is with him, the more she realises there may just be more to Tristan then meets the eye. But with the packs on the brink of war, the ground’s about to be shaken up something fierce…But hey, I’m crazy and thrive in the danger zone lol. So maybe it’ll be perfect for you too

This book will keep you on your toes and won’t let you catch your breath. So prepare to get comfy and settled in…because this is one book that will not only get its claws into you but will totally envelop and surround you like powerful magic.

So guys seriously, do everything and anything you can, to read this book…read in the loo if you gotto lol…because guys, this is one you need at the top of your list. It’ll leave you just begging for more and possibly revising whether you should be in therapy for your obsession. But it’s okay to be obsessed because it’s a book that’s totally worth all it puts you through.

As a book dragon some things you just take in stride…since we all know reading is what we need in our lives. It’s fundamental and It helps with a reality that is sometimes against you.

So, if you want to be hit in the feels and taken on an unforgettable journey of finding a place to belong…and where finding the strength to fight is never lost…this is a perfect story for you. Lovers of dark urban fantasy are going to be gobbling this book up. This is a book that will transport you through time and space…and coming back to the earth is almost like Thomas waking up in the box, in Maze Runner, not even remembering who or where he was.

Everly has truly outdone herself and has reached new levels of creating the perfect story for us. So, go make sure you preorder this book right now…and that way you have it as soon as it lands on the 11th December.

Thank you so much lovely, for the arc of this book, that now has me dealing with a lot of emotions and unsure how to go ahead in the world. I just need some answers, like right now. Can I just catch a flight and get some answers? No, too weird? ugh okay…dang…well I guess that’ll just be here then in the meantime. Burning with all my unanswered questions.

I can just imagine Everly sitting there as I try and pick her brain for all the answers lol…she’d be all calm and collected like she was talking to a little kid haha .

Well, you’re probably good and ready for me to stop rambling at this point…so I’ll leave you to it. Carry on with your life fellow book dragons.

Happy torturous reading

Jesus H Christ. This book surprised me and knocked me on my butt. Tessa had some serious struggles, and Frost developed her beautifully. Tristan’s story arc was unsurprising but a welcomed change from the beginning of the book. I am foaming at the mouth for the next installment of this awesome series!

A shifter series with a new spin. I loved it! . All the characters in this book are multidimensional and bring a purpose to the story. Tessa can’t bond with another wolf due to her unique traits. The women she meets in the “Home” are interesting and mysterious. Then there is Tristan…He saved her, but why? What does he want from her? As soon as I thought I had it figured out… BAM! I was hit with something else. Awesome read

This was an enthralling story that drew me right in from start to finish! Wonderfully written throughout the entire book. Tessa and Tristan are everything together, I love that they seem to have a star crossed feel to their relationship. I can’t wait to see what book number two has in store! I need some answers!

Make time for this book because once you start your not going to be able to put it down. Everly Frost has gone all out for this one. This book is so intense and suspenseful. I went through every emotion while reading it. The character’s flow with personality that fit together perfectly. Our heroine and hero are strong and mysterious with just the right amount of sexy! The heroine has plenty of obstacles to overcome and abilities to master. The hero is dark and broody with plenty of secrets, he is all of those things and so much more. I would definitely recommend this book!
