About this book
Never stop running. And no matter what, never let the world know who you really are.
I’ve spent my whole life hiding. Training. Preparing. Hoping that no one will discover my secrets. What I can do. Who I am. And I’ve gotten so good at it, sometimes even I forget.
Until them.
The wolf pack with a ruthless reputation and a penchant for revenge. The protective fighter. The charming Brit. The shy hacker. The silent mercenary. The cruel assassin.
They see more than anyone ever has before. And even with demons of their own, they give me sanctuary. A place to hide, to rest, and maybe even a place to belong.
Only it turns into so much more. Because when they touch me, everything around me ignites, and nothing matters but them.
But these wolves have secrets. And those secrets bring enemies. And when they find out who I really am?
It’s not their enemies I need to fear. It’s them.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I devoured Crescent Kingdom in two sittings and I’m still thinking about it. From the very first chapter, the action and tension pulled me in, and the emotional beats hit just as hard. The story is completely addictive, a perfect blend of danger, romance, and slow-burning intensity. Wren is the ultimate FMC: fierce, loyal, and layered. Her strength and vulnerability are both front and center, and I was fully invested in her journey. And the guys? Every one of them brings something...

Okay first and foremost, can I get a little commotion for the cast in this audio?! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Vanessa, Teddy, Connor, JF, Shane, AND Jason?? Literally that should be enough to convince you to put this audio in your ears immediately.. but if you need more then how about the fact that this is a wolf shifter, why choose, romantic suspense, fated mates with mmc’s who are overprotective and growly?? Hmm? Yeah, that’s what I thought. Oh and there’s a shy nerd 🤭 *sighs dreamily over Locke* So...

I absolutely loved this book and the characters! Wren has been hurt and on the run from a dangerous wolf all of her life, her father. After her mother passed away as a young girl, she was forced to live with the man who caused her nothing but pain. She finally escaped and now she finds a bit of relief in Crescent Creek. She meets 5 wolves who go by the Diablos, which if you’ve read the Ember Hollow series, you’ve met them before. Four of the men are kind and recognize similar pain within her,...

Crescent Kingdom swept me into a beautifully gritty world of intrigue, magic, and grudging alliances—though parts of it didn’t fully land for me. I appreciated the ambition and flair, even if the execution felt a bit uneven at times. The story follows Lila, a fierce orphan hiding her magical heritage, who strikes a precarious bargain with Ashen, the ruthless prince who once betrayed her family. Together, they must navigate palace politics, deadly curses, and their own battered trust to prevent...

This was SO GOOD. I absolutely devoured this book. I loved the characters. Wren was a force to be reckoned with. And I absolutely loved it. There are five MMC's, which can get confusing sometimes with so many, but I didn't mind it. For the most part they're easily distinguishable. I liked them all, but Locke. Oof. Locke has my heart. The plot was good. I liked the story and what we have gotten from backstories so far. It flowed well. I wish it was longer. This was a short read and some aspects...
