Deadly Wolf Bite
They call me a princess. An heir to a city built on the blood and bones of innocent lives.
I have no desire to rule—not if it means becoming like the family who threw me away like garbage. But there is one thing I want more than my freedom.
To save the only man in this city who thinks I’m worth keeping.
What I feel for Grey is as forbidden as it is real.
As much as I want to run away and never look back, I could never abandon him. But if I want to keep us both from being eaten alive, I’ll have to convince them all he’s nothing to me.
Worse, I’ll have to betray him to his enemies.
The only thing that can help us now is a mate bond I’m not sure exists for someone like me. There’s only one way to find out and it means risking my life in hopes of becoming the wolf I was meant to be.
This will either break the spell and make me strong enough for what’s coming—or it will be a deadly wolf bite. Either way, I can’t stand by and watch the man I love go down without a fight.

Overall ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
Spicy content 🌶🌶🌶 and a half/5
Man just when I thought the first book had me hooked, this this one has me obsessed!
The stakes are higher, the emotions are deeper, and the chemistry? Still sizzling, and somehow even hotter.
I can not wait to see this series continue and even though I know that the next book isn't out yet, I am vibrating in my chair with anticipation because of the ending in this book!
Also just asking for a friend where can I get myself a Grey?
Because this man has my entire being at this point haha.
The tension between these two is still fire! But is laced with something so much deeper then just physical attraction and I am here for every second of it. I can not wait to see what is going on with Lexi and her wolf, because I need her to shift and take out everyone that has wronged her.

Omg that ending!! I couldn’t get enough of both Lexi and Grey. The second installment in the Mafia Pack series is just as addicting as the first one. Alternating chapters between Lexi and Grey POVs were enthralling. Giving us clues and information for what Grey and Lexi are up to in this story as well as Lexi’s past. It’s like an addicting game of chess. I can’t believe I have to wait till next year.
The narrator, Savannah Rivers did such an incredible job portraying both Lexi and Grey. The tones and inflections used were spot on and Rivers kept me engaged till the very end.
Such a good series and perfect for lovers of wolf shifters and fans of the mafia world. Highly recommend.

I had the honor of being an ARC for this book, and it was completely amazing!!!
Heather has the wonderful talent of keeping you and the edge of your seat. This story is full of WTH moments, and nothing is predictable. That cliffhanger?
Whoa, baby, I so cannot wait until next year to read Grey and Lexi's continuing story!

So, picks up where first hook dropped off and oh the woe. Cliche ridiculous female character trope of can’t tell the guy she’s with what’s wrong. She so worried about Ramsey’s manipulative words, which given her background she should have known what it was, she still could have told Grey and pressed him to not reveal it to any other of Grey’s crew, and the use it against her grandfather comes in play, but NOOOO, have to suffer the trite storyline. And how is it revealed Ramsey was there when Lexi was taken by Dom, that he said NOTHING about to Grey, but that’s not properly questioned by Dutch or Grey when they first discovered it? Really? They’ve accepted Ramsey’s lame excuse, no questions, and move on? And Lexi says nothing, goes with it. Lame cliche OVERUSED TIRED storyline.
And really, why paparazzi? There’s nothing in the story really that justifies there being paparazzi. There’s lack of information to support there being all this attention.
Lexi’s told a bite can bring her wolf and she whines about why didn’t Grey tell her? Instead of acting like the grown woman she’s supposed to be and asking him? Or even Mia? On information from shady af Ramsey? So done with such ridiculous written nonsense. Lexi lacks intelligence and common sense, comes to the most asinine conclusions and behaves accordingly. She’s a 21 year student of immature adolescent, not a grown woman. Huge disappointment. Things happened and I can’t help think that’s what you get for acting so stupid. And of course it’s the cliché because she’s so stupid, she risks others because of it. Of course she gets exposed, and has to do the also cliché it’s not what you think or I can explain cliche statement. Has the nerve to think at least she didn’t betray Grey, no matter what he thinks? Like not telling him what she was told to do isn’t a betrayal? And she did open her mouth to Dom! Because of her, plans were shot. She continues to make dumb decisions. Grey isn’t a strong character. Things that happen don’t make sense. Worldbuilding is lacking. Skimmed and skipped to the end to get this done and over with, I don’t like not finishing a book, but came very close to this being one of the DNF. This too ends on a cliffhanger, there’s a third book! I’m done, won’t be reading that when it comes out in a few months.

Author: Heather Hildenbrand
Couple: Lexi & Grey
Tropes: Wolf Shifters, Mafia, Enemies to Lovers, Arranged Marriage, Morally Grey Hero, Fated mates
Review: Deadly Wolf Bite is another fast paced, high intensity romance in the Mafia Pack series! This book begins right where we ended book 1 and we begin to see the strain between Lexi and Grey. Heather did a great job with escalating the action in this book and I stayed on the edge as I was reading about the deception Franco, Ramsey and Dom forced her into. The way Lexi was able to stay true to herself and also help Grey out made for an enticing read and a high action book.
Lexi and Grey hear up in this book and I enjoyed seeing how they each took on other roles new to them. Lexi becomes more I tune with herself and strays outside of her comfort zone as she delves into more of the werewolf community. I loved seeing her become more cunning and devious as she embraced who she was. Grey on the other hand was fierce and really embraced the mate bond in this book while also battling his past turmoil over becoming alpha. Even though Grey grew a lot in this book I was not a fan of how he kept the bond from Lexi since it led to some conflict within her character.
This book set up the plot and begins to show the discord the alphas have. The ending was shocking and surprised me since Grey oversteps and plays a rough hand to Lexi. I am curious to see how her reaction is after the culmination of events at the end, especially since she now has her wolf and is pronounced heir. While I adore them together, I hope she puts Grey through the wringer for how he treated her and the way he set her up to step into a crown!
Rating: 4.5/5, a pulse pounding installment to Lexi's story! This book kept me on my toes as family ties become tested and the romance heats up!
Thank you to Heather for sending me this eARC!

This book continues where the first book left off and we are thrust right back into the thick of things with the Mafia Pack. Unfortunately, things are not going that well for everyone. Our couple is not in a good place with each other and this continues through out the book. Every step that they attempt to take to free the people of the tyranny they are in just makes things worse. Until things come to a head. This book was full of ups and downs and unexpected happenings. I couldn't believe how crazy things got! I'm very interested in how things are going to go from here!! Betrayal and more happens to drive the story in this book. With our characters not trusting each other and then there actually being untrustworthy beings, we have no idea what's about to happen. This book was well done and I enjoyed the story. I'm looking forward to what happens in the next book. Things are being set up very nicely for our MC's. The truth is about to be revealed.
The spice in this book was very light since our MC's were at odds with each other for most of the book. Also there is a lot going on. Between parents behaving badly and then friends behaving badly things were pretty busy. I'd give this book a 3 out of 5. Overall I enjoyed this book and I'd give it 4 out of 5. I enjoyed the story that is developing as well as how things are being handled by our main characters. I want to see how they are able to reach their goals as well as find out more about the truth of Lexi. I'd recommend this book to anyone who likes shifters and mafia romance stories.

Deadly wolf bite is the second installment in the mafia pack series, following Lexi and Grey as they navigate their path in this messed up mafia world. I love the blend of mafia and wolf shifters, and the morally grey characters - aka Grey himself among others! The found family narrative with their friends Mia, Dutch, Crow, Raven, and Ramsey is so good and heartwarming!
The spicy tension between Grey and Lexi is agonizingly perfect, I love all the spice and all the feeling they have to deal with regarding each other, it is simply delicious.
I really felt for Lexi this book, she has had such a hard life and it just keeps getting more and more complicated and difficult. The things she is put through and the choices she has to make are just so much. Can’t wait to see her fully embrace her true self and power!
Honestly I really felt for Grey too. We see what he has to do, and he is so strong for choosing the path he has. Also, he is delicious and I love him… where is my rich mafia wolf shifter?
There were so many twists and turns and I was glued to my kindle needing to find out what was going to happen!
Dom is the worst character, runners up being Franco and Vincenzo for sure. I love that both sides are bad, and we are trying to figure out the lesser evil solution for the townspeople and the whole shifter community.
I can’t wait to find more out about Lexi’s wolf, I am begging to know! Cannot wait for book 3 to come out because the cliffhanger we are left off on is insane and I must know what happens next.

THIS BOOK WAS SO FREAKING AWESOME!! I loved book one, but book two is DEFINITELY better! This series is so good!!
Poor Grey and Lexi have never, in their entire lives, had it easy. But they have each other and the friends/family. It is everything. But dang if Grey’s father and Lexi’s grandfather don’t mess everything up. They have been long before anyone knew. My heart bled for both of them. For their loyal friends, Dutch, Mia, Crow and Razor. Things have become much harder than they ever imagined!!
The way this book ended? It had me shocked, jaw slackened and lost as to what will happen, what’s real and who to trust! I am NOW DYING FOR BOOK 3!!
If you haven’t started this Werewolf Mafia series, you want to start it ASAP!! If you’ve read book one, you are going to LOVE book 2!!! Hildenbrand never disappoints!!

Deadly Wolf Bite : Heather Hildenbrand
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
Once again Heather has kept me on my toes. This book had so many twists and turns I never saw coming. It truly kept me on the edge of my seat.
I love all these characters. (Except Ramsey. I don’t trust him.) Grey is so yummy. Mia has a spine of steel. The brothers are freaking hilarious. Dutch I may need a novella for. 😉 and Lexi I have a feeling has big things coming her way. I know I left a few people out but you will have to just read to understand.
It was so so so good. But dang, prepare for a cliffhanger because I absolutely wanted to scream at her for ending the book the way she did. WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS TO ME?!? I NEED MORE!
I love this series. Now I just have to impatiently wait for the next book. I 100% recommend this series if you love wolf shifters as much as I do.

What a read. This book hooked me and I could not put it down until the last page was read. It moves along at a pace that makes for an amazing read. You will fall in love with these characters and no matter what happens you want to see them achieve their goals. This book is a must read that needs to be on your TBR list, no doubt about it.
August 12, 2024
What have you done? What have you done? I always expect a great cliffhanger from Heather but this one was mouth dropping. And also Sweet as heck with those vows. The Chaos that Lexi and Grey are bringing is just amazing and I can't wait to see how much more excitement this couple amd friends bring and how it's resolved in bk 3

I so couldn’t wait until this boom came out. I literally couldn’t put it down. Heather knows how to keep you on the edge of your seat and keep you needing more. The cliffy at the end… man…. I don’t want to wait until next year. But imma gonna. Lexi and Grays love for eachother grows in this book. But they are both holding secrets that could destroy everything.
I need the next book like right now!!

This series expertly melds mafia and shifters into a compelling story where the good guys are maybe a little bit bad too. Book 2 charges up the action and you'll not be disappointed. Get ready for the ending.

Book 2 was definitely worth the wait! I COULD NOT put it down! I finished in one day and had to read it again to gather my thoughts and im still all over the place, so many unexpected things and that cliff ugh. I’ll be impatiently waiting
August 17, 2024
Couldn’t put it down!
Holy smokes! There are so many twists to this, I couldn’t put it down. And now to wait a whole year?! Action on every page, and I can’t wait to see what happens next!

Deadly Wolf Bite
This is the second book in Lexi and Grey's story where they have enemies on all sides. From Grey's father and Franco. Things get a little more complicated with forced betrayals and a bid to stop power hungry men.

Excellent 2nd book
Told from duel POV, the storyline continuing from book one where it unravels a bit more.
Ends with a cliffhanger but cant wait to read book 3. Highly recommended
