Reread Digging the Wolf – I promise It Get’s Better

Phew! We made it, Curious One! We got through each of the five books in the Wolf Night’s collection! I’m not sure I’ve ever read so many books in a row filled with shifting alpha male personas, but it was worth the experience. I have to say, my own curiosity has been fully satiated for now. Regarding the shifter world of alpha males, that is…. The fifth and final book in the collection is called Digging the Wolf by Steffanie Holmes. At first glance, it is kind of dry and boring and grasping at some sort of storyline to drive the reader until the end. However, I ended up reading it a second time before talking to you about it and it made up for some of my first impressions! Let’s “dig” in! 😉

Savage Surrender Takes You by Surprise With Love at First Sight

Hey, hey Curious One! I’m back at it here with the fourth book in the Wolf Nights collection, Savage Surrender: A Dire Wolves Mission by Ellis Leigh. Super short and packed full of action, Savage Surrender wasn’t that bad! It held all of the usual tropes that you find within a shifter book, but they weren’t too over-the-top! You know what I’m talking about here. Alpha commands that are obeyed unwillingly, hot and steamy sex, alpha personalities, fights to the death, mated to a stranger with one look, etc.

Wolf’s Bane by Aimee Easterling – A True Shifter Mystery

This was a good one, Curious One! I took my own advice and did some research. I found a collection of five books, written by individual authors that all centered around shifters. The first book, Wolf’s Bane by Aimee Easterling revolves around two sisters who are secretly fox shifters (kitsune) and a particular alpha wolf who isn’t the leading alpha of the pack. I will try to keep these all a bit shorter than usual too.

The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman – Great for All Ages!

Hey there, Curious One!!! So, today we are going to explore learning lessons from others. Whether they are your peers, elders, your parents or your siblings, lessons can be taught in so many ways by so many different people. Sometimes, all it takes is a single word or statement. Other times, you have to learn them by yourself and solve them by yourself.

Making mistakes is the only way you can learn, and learning is the only way you can grow. So, let’s grow and explore the beautifully curious world of Neil Gaiman in his 2008 fantasy book titled, The Graveyard Book.

Isle of Echoes- We Witches Three Book Three by Humphrey Quinn

Alright. Curious One? I caved. I absolutely read the third book in the We Witches Three series by Humphrey Quinn. Isle of Echoes was about the same as the others. It answered one question and left me with a thousand more. The most frustrating part is that I want to know what happens to this family, even though I can hardly stand the style of writing. It’s bugging me so badly!

Isle of Echoes was pretty well rounded in regard to each of the characters, however I am still bewildered that Eva keeps getting to them so easily. What’s the point of acknowledging your instincts if you ignore them and walk into traps every day?

And did I call Riley and Melinda?! Ugh. Totally Romeo and Juliet vibes which is obviously predictable and absolutely annoying.

Isle of Wolves – We Witches Three Book Two by Humphrey Quinn

Oooookay Curious One. So, I decided to read the next installment in the We Witches Three series by Humphrey Quinn. Isle of Wolves was a little unexpected. I still have the same problem as with the first one, too short and the style of writing not quite fitting the age of the characters, but this one held a bit of annoyance for me. Hahah!

I promise, I am NOT a picky reader! But man, I just wanted this series to be so good and it’s just not happening…

Isle of Bones – We Witches Three Book One by Humphrey Quinn

So. Curious One. I am gravely disappointed! I have been searching for years for an amazing series of books centering around witches and I had so much hope that I had found it! I had so much hope that after only reading the little blurb and basis of the series, I downloaded the first three books and began to read immediately! However, what a crime I committed!

First off, they are only like 100 – ish – pages each and that’s SO short! Second, I made the assumption that since they were all over 21, it would be centered more towards older young adults, like 20-30-year old’s; I was wrong. Third, it felt like the author was struggling to give depth to her characters. There is such potential here, but man, I was completely let down!

Of course, I’m talking about the first book in the We Witches Three series, Isle of Bones – written by Humphrey Quinn.

After realizing how terribly short these books are, all three amounting to under 350 pages total, I debated reading them all and making one discussion about the series in general, but I just have so much to say, I didn’t want your curiosity to be annoyed by a discussion that was zipping all over the first three books. This way, if after you read this, you can decide whether you want to continue to read the other two “books” with me, or just read my highlights.

So, with that said, let’s begin, shall we?
