Book Review: Black Magic by Nicole Austen (Shadow of the Pack #1)

 

More wolf xenofiction, hooray. This one I've actually trying to obtain for a while, however I ran into some issue. For one, there doesn't seem to be an ebook release for this book (which is how I'd have preferred to have read it). Secondly, I finally ordered the paperback off of Bol about six months ago but it just never ended up shipping. They kept sending me notifications with "there is an issue with your order. We'll let you know when we've shipped it". And then there was radio silence and they never ended up shipping it to me. So in the end after five months I cancelled my Bol order and just got it off of Amazon instead. I'd still have preferred to order it from Bol or get the ebook but I guess I didn't have a choice here.

Ah well, spoilers ahead.

Book Review: Flaming Fate by Sophie Torro (The Wolves of Elementa #4)

 

I think(?) this is formally the final installment in the series. There are two more Elementa books out there, but from what I've seen at a brief glance they're supplemental and not formally a part of the series.

Spoilers ahead.

Book Review: The Great Timbers by James A. Kane

 

This one looked interesting to me. You know me at this point, I'll read anything with a wolf on the cover. Is it any good? Eh, let's see. Spoilers ahead.

Book Review: The Beasts of Grimheart by Kieran Larwood (The Five Realms #3)

 


Just as a note, this will probably be the last book of this series I will be reviewing. Not because I don't want to read onward, but simply because this is the last book in the series that got translated into Dutch and is available at my library. I could buy the future installments, of course, but I don't think I'm quite engaged enough with this series to pay for the next books. Ah well, only time will tell.

Spoilers ahead.

Book Review: Timba Comes Home by Sheila Jeffries (Solomon Saga #3)

This is actually book three in a series, but since it can be read separately I have no qualms with reading and reviewing it here. Spoilers ahead.

Book Review: Beyond the Sea of Ice by William Sarabande (The First Americans #1)

 

If you know me, you know I like reading prehistoric fiction, even if not all of it is good. Here's another one that interested me when I found it. Spoilers ahead.

Book Review: In the Heart of the Wilderness by Christopher Ross (Clarissa #1)


 Note: The title of this book has been translated into English by me for the reading comprehension of this blog's viewers as the book itself isn't available in English (yet). The original title reads
Clarissa #1: Im Herzen die Wildnis.

Christopher Ross' books have been on my radar for a while now. The dude certainly likes writing about wolves and huskies. Sadly my German skills before weren't good enough to check out these books, but by now I've finally reached the level where I'm able to read and understand the books. So let's have a look, spoilers ahead.

Book Review: The Golden Mole by Katherine Rundell

 

This one has been on my reading list for a while since I first saw it announced in an add. I actually reserved a library copy, but for some reason it wasn't ready for me to pick up until many months later. But now I finally got it, so let's have a look.
