The Wolf’s Shadow (The Lycanthropy Files Book 1) by Cecilia Dominic – Review by Shelly Kittell

The Wolf's Shadow (The Lycanthropy Files #1)The Wolf’s Shadow by Cecilia Dominic
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book was phenomenal. I found that once I started reading, I didn’t want to put it down. Dr. Joanie Fisher is having a rough life when she learns that her grandfather is believed to have passed away so her life is changed overnight. She has more many than she could have dreamed of and a manor at the top of the hill in a small little town that has a myster….missing children. Joanie’s research is on CLS (Chronic Lycanthropy Syndrome). With the aid of her friend Lonna, and a couple of men with CLS, she throws herself into figuring out what is going on and why because all trails lead back to trouble. The author wrote a story that has kind of a scary plot considering we are coming off covid and the vaccines. Who knows what gets put in vaccinations. Big Pharma is always suspicious. That gave the story a really great mysterious edge. I had a hard time guessing who was truly behind it. Every time I thought I figured it out…wrong! Thrills, chills, and little suspense. Yes, it’s an urban fantasy that has terrific characters. Lonna and Kayla felt like spoiled brats. Joannie was pretty strong for all she went through. Lots of betrayal. The old adage was true in this story: Keep your friends close and your enemies closer. I enjoyed the plot running smoothly. This is is book 1 of the series. I am highly recommending the series.

4.5 stars

Well, this is certainly an interesting tale and definitely a unique take on Lycans and their origins. It takes the idea of shifters to a whole other level than has been seen before. It is an urban fantasy paranormal thriller and a very quick read. The book was a great start to the series that has a lot going on. There is a lot of scientific and medical information and has plenty of twist and turns and lots of sub plots to keep you intrigued as the story ebbs and flows.

This story is filled with action and mystery, danger and deception, drama and secrets, romance and so much more. There are a cast of characters and most you will like and others not as much.

Cecila paints a compelling picture where anything may be possible and what a new future could ever look like if it ever came to pass. A compelling case of what ifs. The complex and complicated story line keeps you guessing and is vividly imaginative.

I look forward to the second book to see where Cecila takes us.

What an overall interesting book this is. It is a great, unique way to look at an oversaturated genre. The scientific outlook gave it all a different perspective.
I did find the book to have quite a slow start. The author really sets the scene and builds everything up but it meant that it made for a slower read. It did pick up about half way through which is when I felt the story really got going.
I enjoyed the characters, especially the MC. She was so easy to connect with and get behind. This is a great story and I am looking forward to the rest of the series.

I enjoyed this fantasy story. This is a newer author for me which I enjoyed her writing style as well as her attention to details that made the story engaging and hard to put down. I enjoyed being pulled into the story by the characters. They are relatable, strong, supportive characters that I enjoyed watching grow throughout the story. This is a story that took me on an adventure of a wolf disease that is taking over. The question is can Joanie end this disease before she is the next victim? I enjoyed where the story took me and the twists and turns that had me coming back for more. This is a story that is full of fantasy and is fast paced. I enjoyed how easy this story is to read and entertaining. This is a great story that filled my afternoon with fantasy. I highly recommend this book.

Now here is an interesting take on Lycsnthropy! This is not your average werewolf story this is most definitely al well researched medical thriller mystery Fantasy all rolled into one!

This book starts with a fire that has destroyed the lab of a very promising scientist (joanie) who was just looking for a cure for chronic lycanthropy syndrome, a genetic disorder triggered by a virus.

lost and overwhelmed losing her life’s work, she then is notified that shes inherited property in the ozarks from her grandfather who is missing but presumed dead… she thinks she can find some refuge here in a place from her childhood but instead she finds complex relationships, deception, Mystery, missing people, drama, friendships, chemistry, danger and so much more.

This book was pretty good, if you find yourself struggling in the first part keep going the story will pull you in and then you won’t be able to put it down! 4/5

Wow! This book was just so darn good! The story had its own aurora of being compelling, and it was a very quick read and easy to fall into. It was very much enjoyable, I loved the way the author had the story flow, and how things went about! Needless to say I am waiting for the next installment!

I loved how the story takes flight centering around the work of Joanie who is looking into her own personal research for an issue, but along the way things happen and come up that really test and question everything. I loved the fact pace of the story, the secrets that arose, the questions that came, as well as the questions that I came up with as I read. I felt I was right beside Joanie with her adventure. Things were far from what they seed at first when I was reading, I loved the discoveries that were made. The author made the visionary very real as well. The book was addictive and impossible to put down!

Loved this book and I am going to love the rest of the series! The book was a wonderful start of a new series, and I can not wait to read more in the series and see what happens as the books continues. The author is amazing at what they do! Highly recommend this book and series, a must read!

Claiming My Mate (Wolf Hollow Pack, #1)Claiming My Mate by Nicole Howl
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

  1. Claiming My Mate is the first book of the Wolf Hollow Pack series. This is the first time I have read Nichole Howl. I’m always looking for new authors to read. This book was an easy and fast read, and it didn’t take me long to get hooked. Lily and Jason’s story is a love story that leaves me wanting more. The story had me believing things were one way but as Jason is getting ready to take the throne, he wants things to change. The only thing I would like to see in the books to come is that the author slows the story down and offer more details. Otherwise, this is a great read, and I can’t wait for the next installment to see where the story goes.View all my reviews

I absolutely love love love this book. It’s the first in the series and it’s a shapeshifter story. I read a lot of werewolf books I like the shapeshifter romances. The characters are well written and the story leaves you wanting more.

Lily is a human and a servant to the royals while Jason is next in line to be alpha and king. Lily gets attacked by another person in the pack and is sent to the hospital where she runs into Jason. Jason realizes they are mates. He instantly gets the need to protect her. Against the odds will they make it. I can’t wait to see what happens in the next book.

Such a great read….and so happy I picked up this book. If you love a paranormal story with action, shifters and wolves definitely read this book.

I was intrigued by the concept of how the wolves were dominate and humans were used as “slaves”. Lily, who is a human, is a slave to the Wolf Hollow and truly is just getting by day to day. The king’s son, Jason, is the future King of Wolf Hollow. When Jason learns whom he is truly to be mated with, the King does not approve, especially since it is Lily. Jason is truly a protector and would do anything to keep Lily safe, even though at first she wants to keep her head down and not cause trouble. Will Jason and Lily’s fate keep them together?

I loved this story and I loved Lily’s character, even at times parts were heartbreaking but how strong she tried to be. I am so looking forward to the 2nd book as I cannot wait to find out what happens next!

Stolen from her home, Lily is a human servant of the royal family in Wolf Hollow. Jason, a werewolf, is the prince and heir. After a horrible incident Lily ends up in the royal hospital and the same time as the prince. Jason’s wolf is positive that Lily is its mate just by her scent. The two will face multiple obstacles if they want to be together. But the question is will they be willing to fight to be together?

This is the first book I have read by Ms. Howl. Overall, I enjoyed the book. There were a few of the major background facts that I wish would have been given more of a back story not that it detracts from the story I just thought it would add to it. I loved the story and I would recommend it; however, if you are like be and hate when a story it broken down into multiple pieces be warned. Even know that now that I have read the first part I cant wait for the second part to come out.

Lily is a human who has spent the last year as a captive/servant to the Wolf Hollow Royals. They had been away for a while, but they are now back and things are about to get hairy. Jason, the prince and future Alpha, is biding his time until his father decides to hand over the reigns. Lily had rejected the unwanted advances of a guard whom later attacked her.

Due to their class difference it would be frowned upon by his father to accept Lily. Will they get a happily ever after?

This is the first book that I have read by this author and personally I can’t wait for more. While this is the first half of the story, I was so enveloped that I can’t wait for the second half of the story. But being my first book by this author I had no idea what to expect, but she definitely blew me out of the water, with her wonderful story, and beautiful cover. This was also a very short story being under 200 pages ma, it definitely made for an easy, short, and fast read. So if your looking for something to get your out of that slump or just a quick weekend read make sure you pick this one up today.

Lily has been captured and is a slave within the castle of Wolf Hollow. Her life for the past year has not been pleasant and suddenly turns for the worse when she’s noticed by a few wolves, the Prince himself included. She lives through a harrowing experience to find out that she’s the Prince’s mate. Jason is the next in line for the throne and is currently living under his father’s thumb biding his time until he can take over. A chance encounter allows him to find his mate but she’s one of the human slaves. Can these two overcome circumstances to have their happily ever after?

The story was good but I found that it had a few issues. The story felt rushed to me. There were a lot of sub plots which I’m sure we’re set ups for the rest of the series . To me they were more interesting than the plot of this book. I loved Jason and Dean. The characters interacted well and I enjoyed their banter. I had a hard time connecting to Lily though. One minute she’s weak and lacking confidence, the next she’s strong and snarky. She kept flipping back and forth between the two as if the author couldn’t decide how she wanted this character to be. I think Lily has a lot of potential as well as the story so I will be reading the next book in the series.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A great paranormal romance. There is twists and excitement from start to finish. It leaves you wanting more of their story. A quick read but I cannot wait to pick up the next book to find out what happens next.

The story is around two main characters. Lily a captured human servant and Jason the future Alpha and King of Wolf Hollow. I enjoyed that Lily was not the weak female throughout and only continued to define her true strong-self as the story progressed. Equally Jason is not the over the edge intense insufferable werewolf, but still very much the assertive mate when the time arrives. Humans live in fear of the Shifters and do their best to avoid drawing attention on themselves. When Lily manages to gain more notice than she ever wanted after the Royals return home things in the house start to teeter on a dangerous shift in balance. Are their differences too much for Wolf Hollow? Will they get to find a happy ending?

A small trigger warning that the concept of rape is there, but not in graphic detail of said event.

This paranormal romance is the first in the series and oh what a beginning it is! This author really has the ability to grab your attention and hold it. I couldn’t put this book down.

I really enjoyed the characters in this book. Lily is a human slave to the Wolf Hollow Pack, Jason is the son of the Alpha, what could possibly happen? I found the storyline to be quite unique and different and that was part of its draw for me.

The only thing I didn’t like about this book was that it ended too soon. I look forward to book two.

I really enjoyed this book. Lily is a captive and a servant for the King and his family. The servants are treated as unworthy captives as they are only human after all. The rest of the household is made up of the Hollow Wolves Pack. Their dominance knows no bounds. They take and do as they wish. All is not what it seems in the castle. When Prince Jason finds his mate. The castle will never be the same again.

This was a quick read but will keep your attention until the last page. Excited to read book two.

Lily is trapped in the Huntingtons home of the Wolf Hollow Royals. As a human slave, she is forbidden to look the Huntingtons in the eye, as that is cause for punishment. But Lily tries to keep her head down and as fate would have it she looks up. Caught in the act she is sent to the dungeon to await her punishment. Of course there is that one bad guard who has targeted Lily. Prince Jason feels he has found his true mate. Only she is forbidden as she is human. When his wolf finds Lily, Jason steps forward and seeks his one true mate. Even If he has to go against his father and his guard. What a mess for Lily, she must try and keep away from the guard, even though he is much stronger and threatening. Will Lily and Jason get their HEA? I found this story to be fast paced and highly emotional. There were times, when all of my emotions were on my sleeve. This author has a knack for details, I love that! The characters are strong and Lily steps forward and finds her inner strength. This is the first in this series. I can’t wait to see where this author takes Lily and Jason next.

Shifters, mates and monarchy
This is the first book in the series and it was brilliantly written. A perfect balance of paranormal, romance and action had me turning the pages late into the night that I ended up reading this in one sitting! Dual POV, which I love, had me falling hard for Jason. Lily is an emotional roller coaster but I liked her character too. Can’t wait to see where this series goes – there is still so much more to uncover. Highly recommend.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

My first read by this author, I wasn’t sure what to expect. As with most werewolf romance stories, there are several common themes – werewolves are primal and violent, there are fated mates and the goddess, and there’s evil men and valiant men. There are a few seductive moments, suspense, shape shifting and violence. It was interesting enough that I’ll continue to read the series to see what becomes of Lily and Jason.

Lily is a human servant of the Wolf Hollow pack. She has a grueling schedule for terrible masters. The king and alpha is a cruel man who enjoys making others fear him. Everyone in his presence strictly keeps their eyes away to avoid challenging him. Lily has a miserable life as a servant to the wolf pack, but has made a couple of friends that look out for her. When she is cornered and attacked in her bedroom by an abusive soldier, she is rushed to the royal families medical facility. It is here she really meets Prince Jason, the future alpha. As a human, she expects and anticipates the prince to mistreat her and is determined to stay out of his way…but Jason has caught her scent and realizes she is his mate. He is drawn to her, uncaring of the status difference between them. Once he learns who Lily’s attacker is, he challenges Callum.

This story is pretty fast paced and kept me interested enough to keep reading. It is a shorter book and the interest made for an especially quick read. It seems as though it could be a bit more polished, but was enjoyable and has you cheering for Lily and Jason and liking Dean and Amara.

Claiming My Mate by Nicole Howl is a fast-paced and incredibly enjoyable paranormal romance story. Lily and Jason are fated mates. However, he is the prince and alpha to be and she is the kidnapped and enslaved servant to the royal family. The book is adventurous with well-written characters. I really enjoyed Lily, Jason, and Dean’s interactions. Seeing all that Lily had to go through and her inner dialogue broke my heart. The plot is great and while I enjoyed the pace, I do wish it’d been slowed down a bit for more plot development. Some things just didn’t make sense to happen that quickly, like Lily’s strength development. This book is a fast, enjoyable read. I was so engrossed that I was surprised when the end came. I eagerly await the sequel.

While I throughly enjoyed the two main characters I was equally enthralled with the supporting characters. Yes I did not love every character and some I even couldn’t believe the way they acted. Still a purpose is served by them being evil, kind, sweet etc. This is book one in the series and I am on pins and needles awaiting the next one.

What a series opener!! Treachery, scheming, infighting, and deceit….and that is just with one family!! A kickass heroine that is only getting badder! I was so happy to see that Jason didn’t fight or deny the mate bond. I am enjoying the way that Lily is coming into herself, getting stronger, willing to be strong for others, and not willing to take crap from others especially the King. I can’t wait for the next books as there are so many promises that Jason has to keep, so many changes he wants to make!

This story is about learning your value and discovering the inner strength we all possess. The romance is just a bonus. Lily’s evolution, even Jason’s, is one from which we all can learn.
