Synopsis
Freedom never tasted so bitter.
A stolen love. A strangled curse. A heart of sin. And a fate touched in moonlight.
My men weave a tangled web around my soul, and I’ve formed a pack that will go to death and back for me.
The moon hangs low over my heart as the call of the endless sky draws me closer and I find myself lost in the abyss that was waiting for me out here.
Fate has left a bitter taste on my tongue, the haunting echoes of the past mocking me at every turn. But I’m not a pup anymore. And I won’t let another ten years pass without mending the rift in my heart.
Darkness draws near enough to devour me but I have forged a pack of wild creatures at my back and I won’t be pulled into the grip of despair.
I’ll find the stars in this endless night and force them to hear me howl.
I am Rosalie Oscura and I will claim my happy ending, even if I have to claw it from the hands of destiny itself.
This is the final instalment in the Darkmore Penitentiary series.
This series is set in the world of Solaria five years after Zodiac Academy and ten years after Dark Fae and book one was previously published as Darkmore Penitentiary. There is some character crossover but all series can be read independent of each other without spoilers. The female lead will end up with more than one love interest.
Review
This book was provided by the authors in exchange for an honest review. Thank you Caroline Peckham & Susanne Valenti!
Wild Wolf is the fourth and final book in the Darkmore Penitentiary series, and continues the story of Rosalie and her men.
After 3 years, we finally have the last book in the Darkmore Penitentiary series! It's been a long wait, but I'm happy to finally end Rosalie's story. I am surprised by myself that I still remember what the story was about. I am so forgetful, in my personal life as well as with books, yet I still remembered a lot. I think it also helped that the Darkmore Penitentiary books were never as long as the Zodiac Academy books...
Wild Wolf continues the story of Rosalie and her men, Cain, Ethan, Roary and Sin. After waiting 3 years for the final book, I had some time to think about the characters. I really liked Rosalie as our female main character. She's badass and strong, but... I don't get why she chose Sin to be in her harem. He's my least favourite of all four men. My favourites are Cain and Ethan, I also like Roary but not as much as in the previous books. But Sin, I find him so annoying, and I felt like him and Roary were the two most important men in the last book. Which should not be the case...
Wild Wolf had such a lovely ending, I really liked reading the last chapters. Caroline Peckham and Susanne Valenti both have a talent for writing the best epilogues/final chapters for their characters. BUT I still have so many questions. I feel like there are still some loose ends, or that they wrote things that don't make sense/contradict things said in their other books. But I'm also just happy that the Darkmore Penitentiary series is finally done and the five of them got their happy ending.
