The Night Prince (The Wolf King #2) by Lauren Palphreyman
The highly anticipated sequel to The Wolf King. Pre-order now!
Aurora may have survived the Wolf King. But his bite marks her skin, and in accordance with Wolf Law, that makes her his property. Now, he wants her back.
To beat him and take his throne, Aurora and Callum must form a dangerous alliance with one of the most feared Wolves in the Kingdom, Blake. He is their enemy, but he has entangled his life with Aurora’s—meaning she cannot harm him without forfeiting her own life.
As she fights to break their connection, she suspects Blake is keeping secrets about a dark power that rises in the north, and the unsettling nature of the bond between them. It seems there is a bigger game at play than who sits on the Wolf Throne—one that threatens both the Kingdom of Wolves, and the Kingdom of Men.
With her wolf awakening, enemies closing in, relationships tested, and secrets revealed —Aurora may be the only one who can stop an ancient evil from rising.
If she can figure out who to trust.
If she can figure out where she, and her heart, belong.
If she can stay alive.
The highly anticipated sequel to The Wolf King. A romantasy for fans of enemies to lovers, shifters, forbidden romance, villains you love to hate (or maybe just love!), and werewolves. Contains strong language and sexual situations.
Review: A solid sequel!! This felt like more a true love triangle than most and I love how Aurora is torn between the loyal and devoted Callum and the pull she feels to the untrustworthy and mercurial Blake. I was happy to see that we learn more about Aurora's background and family in this book and overall, the book seemed to provide deeper character development on all three of the main characters.
This was great on audio with duet narration and three narrators (one for Aurora, Callum, and Blake), which added so much to the experience. I enjoy fantasy but for whatever reason I struggle sometimes listening to fantasy on audio. But the duet narration helped me enjoy this one a lot.
I know a lot of people who read these are solidly team Blake, but I honestly felt torn?? Callum is so loyal and devoted to Aurora and they seem to have a genuine connection but at times the relationship did feel a little boring. Versus Blake who is a wild card, unpredictable, and possibly untrustworthy but yet an unexplored and obviously deep connection. Fortunately, we still have another book to go to see what happens!
I will say I thought the first half of this was a little slow. It picked up so much in the second half and there was significant plot development so I'm glad I didn't give up. Excited to see what happens next in book three!
