Revenge of Her Wolves

Court of Fae and Firelight #2

by Tara West

Four shattered hearts. Three deadly enemies. Two innocents lost. One chance at peace.

Though my identity has been revealed, I’m left with more questions than answers. Why did my parents fake my death and erase my memories? Who sent the mercenaries to kill my wolf protectors and me? Will the Fae prince I love ever forgive me for hiding my dark secret, the only thing I suspected about my past life—his half-brothers are my fated mates? Will my mates set aside their thirst for revenge long enough to help me find the children born out of our one night of passion five years ago? And, finally, will any of this matter if we are all doomed to die in the cruel king’s court?

I really enjoyed the 1st book except a few annoying things about the fmc like her crying and moaning about needing to kill people who where actively trying to kill her but I thought ok she will get over this and stop whining (she never)
Then the thing I really really couldn’t stand and just about stopped reading was about her children and how she just didn’t care about them at all she was this green witch that loved and healed bla bla but she cared more about a rabbit than her own children and then that she cared about her mates more than her own children was the final nail in the coffin for me she’s selfish and horrible and not even in a good way. Don’t know if to continue this or not would like to see how her sisters books are but I can’t cope with any more of this fmc

Book 2: MFM

I enjoyed this book a lot! I found that there was a bit of dragging in the plot to get to this epic battle that never happened.
To also potentially confuse matters there was additions of demons.
Hopefully the 3rd book lives up to expectations

Rcvd an advanced reader copy from booksirens for giving my two cents. We met Anya aka princess tarianya who had found her lost mates and is in the enemies clutches but on her terms. Anya has been having memories surface and she sees her girls. She also remembers her love for Asher and Finn but her heart longs for Helian as well. Helion has hard time being around Anya and he doesn't want to share with his brothers. The kings mage is training Anya but smtg keeps her from showing all her power. Helian is set to marry lady Arabella who happens to hair a demon jn her. She is determined to get rid of Anya and her mates so she has np competition with the white Witch. Things are not what they seem around thr castle. Drama, lost memories, truths and OMG moments make this a sit on thr edge of your seat read.

Overall, i liked this book more but still dont care for Anya's character. I was really hoping getting her original form, some answers, and a good portion of her memories would make Anya more mature and considerate. She had the same lack of regard for anyone's feelings besides hers. Still held grudges over people's behaviors while she lied, omitted information, and stayed in denial about things, I really couldn't stand how she was when it came to her kids. I was surprised how negligent she was before she lost her memories, but I was hoping a fire would get lit under her butt when she remembered them, yet, they were still practically a afterthought the majority of the book. Her sister Shirina was absolutely correct about how self-absorbed she is, but she is also the queen of being hypocritical and flip-flopping. She's angry and hurt Helian is mad and doesn't want to automatically join her harem, but she can't forgive him for it and isn't understanding when he is pretty much backed into a corner to marry Arabella. She spent the 1st half of the book chasing and pining after him, even hurting the twin's feelings, and not saying she shouldn't make him grovel a bit now that he finally came around, but the pushing him away, acting like she doesn't want him anymore like its too late is a bit much, especially with the revelation about what they created. I'm not saying Helian didn't have his faults, but come on. Aside from the character flaws that really aggravated me most of the book, I did feel more engrossed in this storyline than book 1. I'm sure we haven't seen the last of Viggo and Arabella, I had a feeling luci was who she turned out to be, we finally come face to face with her twin and the twin kids and I'm glad there wasn't any animosity. I'm hoping to see a better relationship with her kids and her step up and acknowledge her shortcomings when it came to raising them or lack of raising them even before she disappeared. I also will love to see how Finn and Asher are as fathers and the relationship they will develop with their daughters in the midst of all the drama going on around them. Things really got interesting with Nox coming into play and I wonder how that will change things going forward and what will happen to him now that he's where I think he is, and when will he be reunited with Anya and his brothers and when. Hopefull, she grows up a bit in the meantime, and lets go of her ridiculous grudge against him to save him or be ready to accept him when he comes back to them. It looks like the next book follows the sister instead of continuing the storyline and although I would have preferred to finish their story first before deviating, I'm interested to read the sister's story. so far she seems more mature and considerate than Anya, Hopefully that translates to her story.

So in book 2 of this trilogy, we get answers regarding Tarianya’s past through dreams/flashbacks. I can understand her current pain because I didnt like her character at all from back then (and when we saw her mating with the twins in a flashback in book 1). I loved her sister and kids in the flashbacks, her sister was right and cared so much for them, like they were their own. I also am not a fan of her current predicament with Helian.

I think the reason I couldnt give this book 5 stars was because the high angst and issues between her and Helian became repetitive to me and I wanted to shake their shoulders (or hit them upside the head) to work out their issues. I get it what the author was tying to do/setting us up for the end of the book and what’s to come in book 3, but a personal preference I am not a fan of a whole book with that kind of relationship/again felt like the interactions and internal monologues were just being regurgitated but with a couple word changes. I felt bad for both of them but they both need to not be so selfish and talk out their issues.

I started feeling more for the twins (which was the big point of book 2 since we got so much airtime for Helian in book 1 and probably fell for him then). I didnt appreciate them making her feel bad about her feelings but most of the time they were great and the snark from Asher when he was trying to show them getting to know each other was funny and endearing. As always I loved a little rabbit friend and some of the other creature side characters were amazing and some I wanted to give the same treatment as Helen and Anya.

The plot in this one was moving along, we get to see the demonic influence of things, the King’s network/evil reign, and get more insight and more battles regarding Malvolia and her armies. I won’t give things away but with battles there always come death and I was not seeing one coming and was devastated! Cannot wait til book 3 is out so we can get some resolution about of the main characters.

Again overall I enjoyed this one but I did connect and enjoy book 1 more. This one I was getting distracted by other things so it took me awhile to read it/I wasn’t super engrossed in the story like I was with book 1 when I couldnt put it down.

OMG…that ending had me finding I hard to breathe!

There was lots of action and danger through the book. I was holding my breath during parts of the story, and found myself alternating between laughing, and screaming ‘No, no, no’ throughout.

It was fast paced, exhilarating, and heartbreaking at times! So many twists and turns too…demons…babies…parents in disguise - admittedly I did guess those. But then a second white witch in the opposing army, poor Beau…and I haven’t quite figured Selig out, but he’s definitely a snake who only cares about his own survival!

Don’t read below if you are opposed to spoilers!

I hated Anya for most of this book, she was so whiny over Helian walking away from her yet she was with his brothers…she was so selfish and had no regard for his feelings! When she walked away from him the night before his wedding after he confessed his love, I actually screamed “Bi**h” and furiously wrote that in my reading app too! She also said that she had a “newfound sense of pride”, which makes her a hypocrite because she had just scolded Helian for his pride.

Yes, Helian is my favourite! And everything he did was to protect Anya and his brothers…even if he acted like a “dragons ass” in the process! But it was like everyone else was out to hurt him…particularly Asher when Helian finally went to the Alchemy chamber to confess his feelings for Anya.

Radnor is my second favourite, and the funniest part of the book was where he threw Helian into the bog and kept pushing him under while lecturing him about fighting for Anya. I just love how Radnor tells it how it is! Although I’m annoyed he wasn’t there when Helian needed him towards the end…he would have known through their bond that something was wrong!

I guessed that Anya was pregnant with Helians baby long before her mother told her. So when it was confirmed, I screamed “yes, I knew it” and quickly scribbled “woohoo” down.

But I’m ready to jump into this world and go save Helian myself, give Radnor a piece of my mind, and give Anya a slap. And if Malvolia hurts him, she’s dead…you probably guessed, I’m pretty immersed in the story!

In a strong continuation of the Court of Fae and Firelight series, Revenge of Her Wolves, starts with an intriguing distant memory, before picking right up in the middle of the nail biter ending of book 1. Tarianya recalls the day she met the mind spinner and the events leading up to that.

Opposite to the first book, I found myself loving Finn and Asher, and frustrated with Tarianya and Helian. Helian unfortunately drinks himself into a constant stupor and continues to walk the path of his father in his views of white witches. Anya keeps pining for Helian to the detriment of her fated mates. Every time she got upset, my heart went out to the wolves, who very clearly worshipped the ground their goddess walked upon.

I did find this book was a bit more predictable than the first, but it didn't take away from the enjoyment of the story. I felt I was constantly on the edge of my seat for most of the plot. I teetered between happiness, anxiety and some emotional tears. Now that Anya has her mates again, she is transforming into a very powerful white witch, who has the unfortunate knowledge that she will need to battle her sister when the war starts. As the reader, you are made aware of the Avias twins pattern and you ride the waves with Anya wondering if she's the good or evil sister. Only time will tell, as we move to Shirina's story with her mates. I can only hope these twins break the cycle and don't repeat the path of Flora and Malvolia.

This book... First of all, I need more than 5 stars for this one. There is no way I can make justice to this book in a review but I will try because you do need to know : This is Tara´s best book, and believe me, to me her books are pure gold but this one takes the palm! So many twists and turns that I wasn't ready for, so much love and anguish. So much hate and my most hated one was Tarianya when she was young, such a bad mother, but she grew into an awesome witch who still makes mistakes but for the right reasons. Arabella I should hate, most readers hate her but I don't, I am sad for her. She has lived a horrible life while being groomed to be beautiful, perfect and spoiled. Yes, she is brat, but underneath the facade you can she the lost little girl she is. Only a great writer can show such depth is characters! There is so much I want to say but I don't want to spoil any part. Just be ready to read a book that you won't be able to put down until you finish and that you wont leave behind when you read the last page.

Thank you BookSirens and the publisher for this arc.
Wow. Just, wow. This second book in the Court of Fae and Firelight series was absolutely amazing. Once again Tara West did an astounding job with her writing skills- I was pulled in to Tari’s world instantly. The plot of this story moved along at a perfect pace and left so many open doors for what could possibly happen in book three.
The only thing that I have come to notice in this series that is bothersome is the amount of self pity among the characters. Tarianya is constantly saying “I don’t deserve him/them” and come to think of it, she did the same in book one. I look forward to her finally accepting who she really is.

I will say I’m not TOO excited to read a book in Shirina’s pov, as I’ve come to love the characters thus far. Hopefully it is done in a way that will make them just as lovable.

Sooooo happy that the boys got their revenge, though. Screw you, Fachnan!

Wow!! This book had so many SHOCKING twists and turns!! I’m really loving this series!! This author is definitely one I want to read more from! I need to check out more of her series.

I love Anya! I love Helian and Radnar!! I love Demon and Angel!! There are so many fantastic characters, whether good or bad, or even those grey area character! The characters are so well written, even her pet bunny is full of personality!! The dragons, the wyverns, especially the ones close to the main characters, have great character!!

The story flies! There is constantly so much going on that it keeps you high invested in the story and makes it hard to put down. I need the next book NOW!!! Ahhh!! If you love fantasy, romance, RH, Fae, wolf shifters, dragons, wyverns, witches and lots more, you will definitely enjoy this series!!

Things are getting exciting! So many things are happening and I am on the edge of my seat.

But first off, that ending!!! Omg I am hating another cliffy. I just have to get my hands on the next books. Because, why not?! When everything is up in the air!

There were some things I didn’t like about it. Anya being a bit too childish. Also Helian. I also didn’t like the constant introduction of Arabella. It felt off in the whole thing.

Asher is growing on me. And I love the relationship between Tarianya and her growing allies! The story is developing well and I crave to find out what happens to all of them. We get a taste of what Malvolia is like at the end of the book and it promises of more evil to come!

This is the second book in the series and it was such a fun read it had so much going on so many twist and turns in the plot I liked that it had multiple POV so you get a full picture and motivations of what was going on from the different characters I did feel a couple of times that sone of information given was a little repetitive but I did not mind as there was a lot of information some times a little repetitiveness is ok. I liked the characters and the interactions between them although i did not completely connect with main character I am excited to start the next book as this one left me with unanswered questions and I am looking forward to seeing what will happen next as it’s not all that often I find a book series where I can’t predict what will happen next lol

Book two and this series is definitely a winner! I absolutely adored book one but this second book, OMG it just gets better and better with each passing page. We have seen Anya grow so much and now we have her identity and there are some shocking discoveries to go along with it. Asher and Finn are fab characters but my heart lies with Helion and although his reaction is not a shock per se it still stung and you could really feel Anya’s pain. The world building continues to enthral and pull you in and the storyline definitely has me hook, line and sinker and I was still trying to turn to the next page even though I was at the end! Incredible characters, incredible plot and I am definitely looking forward to reading the next book.

[Miss Margaret · Rating 4 out of 5]

Weirdly annoying but also compelled in which to carry on reading to the end.

There were points during this book that i got so annoyed with the FMC that i almost threw my kindle across the room!

But i am nearly always compelled to finish a book just to give every book a chance, and as an arc reader i believe that i should carry on til the end so i can give an honest review.

However annoying some parts were, i am glad i finished this book, as i am now heading on to read the next book in this series. I hope the next book does not annoy me as much, i feel it may do, but i want to know what happens next, so i will deal with the annoyance and carry on reading.

Some fun bits, some not really needed page filling and a decent plotline.

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily. I love the concept of Revenge of Her Wolves Court of Fae and Firelight: Book 2 by Tara West. It was very well written and thought out. It picks up where book 1 left off and Anya is still trying to discover who she is and get to safety with the help of Helian the fae prince who she has saved. In book two more of Anya memories are starting to be revealed and she is on the brink of losing herself because what she is discovering. Will Anya ever get her memories back and if she does will she be able to accept and handle the consequences that that might lead to. I guess that you will have to read Revenge of Her Wolves to find out for yourself.

[Victoria · Rating 4 out of 5]

The end of the first book left me wanting more, and I did devour the second book in one sitting. This installment was plot driven and made you second guess everything you know. The FMC falls a bit flat and I don't think I care for Helion's character, which makes this book 4 stars for me.

I was excited to read the next book in the series, only to find out the next two books center around a different character not in the harem. That type of series continuation is not for me- so I will not be finishing this series.

Im sad that my biggest question will never get answered- does her rabbit ever become relevant? For a pet that gets mentioned so often, it does not seem to have a point in the plot.

3,5 rounded.

Ahh you see I finished quicker than b1y

Even that there is a lot of pining and wallowing I still got addicted.

Damn! Thats why Im in an luv-hate relationship with these kinda books.

Of couras Im a Helian fan…. And what all bad happens is around this Helian story?! Ahhh I cant belive Im falling into this trap again.

But here I am. Loving the worldbuilt, the story. Ahh those dragons… Im totally captured by the strong-broken prince.

A lot of overthinking from the female charactet side (Anya, Tari, Tarianya) but she is still okey. Intriguing new characters like twins and demons….

Ahhh Im hotncold but in need to continue!

Letme have B3 please!!!

This one was is maybe 2.5 stars. I’m starting to think I might just not be a fan of this writing style. I want to know what happens. Like the plot has me hooked but the writing style just isn’t doing it for me. It feels like the author is recounting what happened instead of painting a picture. But again it might just be a personal preference.

I’m annoyed that the next book is about Anya’s sister. Like we’re going back in time to see the story for the sister’s perspective. Goodreads doesn’t show the whole series for some reason. I didn’t realize there were 6 books. I’d be surprised if I actually finished the entire series, but we’re gonna keep chugging along for Helian & Radnor (the dragon) lol

[Melanie · Rating 4 out of 5]

Very good story line lots of action very colorful characters and detailed world. I will say tho I’m not sure who is more spoiled Tarianya or Helian and Anya’s parents could use a good whipping. If the parents had kept their noses clean then I think all would have been well it was very hatefull of them to send Anya off with Thorin and frankly they deserve any and all problems heaped on their heads. Hopefully Helian can save himself because he just does not deserve Anya. The banners used to separate each area were off center and angled over the script very annoyingly
ARC copy with voluntary review.

[Sierra · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a great continuation in the series! Anya learns more about her past through her dreams. Her dreams make her question the loyalties of her family. But is Anya really getting the whole picture when she only sees snippets of her previous life? Who can she really trust?

Tara West did a beautiful job describing Anya’s and the other character’s backstories. We learn and understand more about why the characters act the way they do. The line between good and evil starts to blur.

The ending left me on the edge of my seat! I can’t wait to read the next book!

[Ellen · Rating 5 out of 5]

Anya(Tariana), Prince Helian and her fated mates are on their way to the castle for protection from fire mages. Helian and his half brothers are not welcome. Tariana is a white witch with a prophecy to help the King. Her fated mates are half brothers to Helian, not the kings sons, and there is no love lost there.

This chapter is another winner with more twists and turns along the way. This was a page turner that kept me entertained and engaged. Highly recommended and can't wait for more.

A good second book. Anya has acknowledged that Finn and Asher are her mates. This has Helian denying his connection with Anya and it creates unrest within her when she stays in the unfriendly fae castle. Anya prepares for the war with Malvolia and will find that she has allies in the castle that will help her. This book is full on emotions from betrayal to happiness between the mates, deception and a ending that will make you want to read the next book.

Tarianya's memory is returning. Her memories come to her in dreams. She has found her mates Finn and Asher but is still confused about Helian.

The war is coming closer and she needs to save her family. Her children are in the hands of the enemy and so is her twin sister.

Will they be able to survive the war? Will Tarianya find her children? Find these answers and many more in this amazing story with incredible characters and stunning world building.

This is the second book in this series. After finding out who she really is and that she already has two fated mates and also twin daughters Anya whose full name is Tarianya struggles with her love for Helian the fea prince who is her fated mate's half-brother. There is a lot going on in this story with lots of unexpected twists and turns. This story also includes many flashbacks for Tarianya to before her memory was altered by the mind spinner. I enjoyed all the characters and the storyline.

4.5 stars
The prologue to Part One offers a ton more background information than was given in the first book. I now have a better understanding of Anya’s past, why she kept seeing twin girls in her visions and the sensation that she had a sister. There’s also an explanation for the girl whose body Anya apparently possessed and when/how her memory was taken.

Chapter one resumes in the present where she and the three men are fleeing Malvolia’s army. Things get interesting once they arrive at King Fachnan’s castle. New characters are introduced. Bonds are broken. A wedding is planned.

Is there a point to the rabbit? He’s not her familiar as she had believed and it seems that he’s more of a PITA than enriching her life.

Arabella and her uncle’s secrets are revealed. You almost have to feel sorry for her after finding out what he’s done. Maybe she wouldn’t be an evil bitch if he’d left her alone.

Book ends as our heroes once again are running from Malvolia’s army of fire mages.

Wow this book. From the very first page all the way till the last, you will be unable to put this book down. It is a fantastic read that will grab you keeping you interested. It moves along at a pace that is perfect for the flow of this story. You will love these characters and feel as though you know them and no matter what happens you want to be there for them. This is a must read book that needs to be at the top of your TBR list, there is no doubt about it.

This series just gets better and better. Tarianya is getting her memory back and is conflicted emotionally as she feels closer to Helian than to Asher and Finn, the father's of her children and her mates. The story moves along quickly with lots of twists and turns to keep you on your toes.
The way Tara has written the characters is brilliant and thought provoking. there is no black and white, they are all shades of grey.
This is a fantastic read and I look forward to the next book.

Never a dull moment

OMG! Tara always gives you characters you love to love, and characters you love to hate! And there's always one or two you want to slap upside the head...with a shovel...repeatedly! Watch Anya work through recovered memories, deal with people who know more about her than she does, and how she deals with her growing powers and the people who want to take advantage of her powers. And let's not forget her men! Can't WAIT for the next one!
