About this book
Humans destroyed the world. The Fae rebuilt it with magic. Thousands of years later, they battle over the last habitable piece of earth … sworn enemies until only one race remains.
Once a ruthless protector of Fae, wolf-shifter Rush now lives in exile—invisible, a criminal, and dying from a curse. Desperate to return to his life as a protector of Elphyne, he battles monsters to channel his inner rage. But when one turns up near his isolated cabin begging for help, everything changes.
Clarke is human, beautiful, and a feisty grifter. She's the sunshine to his grump, and the only one who sees through his curse. But that's not the only surprise. She has a message from the past … sins are repeating. If humans and fae don’t work together, it won’t just be just magic that dies. It will be everything.
Refusing to trust a known liar, Rush tricks Clarke into a bargain of obedience. If he hands her over to the authorities, she’s his ticket to freedom. To life. But the more time they spend together, the more he realizes she’s not the monster he’s trained to believe. In fact, she incites a passion he never dreamed possible again.
Soon, he must choose between freedom and trusting those who betrayed him … or spending his remaining days with the enemy who captured his heart.

I’m a sucker for enemy to lovers, shifters and dystopian worlds and this book totally delivered! Clarke and Rushes love story started off phenomenal. Rush is my favorite character. His back story is heart wrenching but his personality is golden. He’s the alpha fae I never knew I needed. Clarke is a great MFC but I didn’t connect to her as much as I have other MFC’s in the past. However I believe her personality was exactly what Rush needed. The world was hard to understand and visualize at...

One of my favorite feelings in the world is that one I get when, after finishing a really good book, I'm left with just this overwhelming feeling of contentedness. Like - I can't help but happy sigh and hug the book responsible for that feeling. That's what The Longing of Long Wolves did to me. Fantasy has been my go-to genre since I was a child, and while I may not gravitate towards the same fantasy books as I used to, this book (and subsequently, this series in general) just reiterates to me...

Ok, ok. I bought this pretty much based on the summary and the really pretty cover. As for the story? It was ok but — and I don’t know how to articulate this very well — but it felt very junior. Too surface-level. Too cute. Too teen. Now the sex was hot, so this book was not written for a teen audience, but the story just felt sort of easy. Simple. Tame. I see by the other reviews here that many people like it. One person called it “gripping”. Um, no. It’s not gripping unless maybe you’re 12...
