Wolves of the Night #1-3

Wolf King: Wolves of the Night Complete Trilogy

Rate this book
I cannot win. I’m surrounded by vicious female wolves desperate to gain the favor of the ruthless Wolf King.

But I want nothing to do with Elias, who is brutal, untamed, and demanding, or his equally savage wolf court. Only I must take part in the Wolf King ceremony, or my father’s kingdom will be lost.

I make it clear that I’m not like those other she wolves. I already have Griffin waiting for me, and he will raise an army to fight for me if I don’t come home.

It doesn’t stop Elias playing a game of temptation. Our attraction scares me, and I know that he would eat me alive in the name of passion.

Then he announces who his chosen one will be, and I’m afraid it’s me…

This is the complete Wolves of the Night trilogy in one book!

Tedious MFC

I tried to finish this series. I really did. However the MFC is so unlikable and wishy washy it was distracting. She hates the king, no real reason just does. She acknowledges the guy she is supposedly in love with is a terrible person but for the sake of drama she's going to risk her life to save him. That wouldn't have been so bad if not for the NON STOP WHINING literally Pages of it. She hates her wolf, no reason given just hates it. Not in a productive way either, she just refuses to shift and makes herself sick for the sake of the plot...she finds out people she actually cares about are in danger...tells no one and decides she can only trust herself which leads to ..you guess it WHININGGGG. Honestly I wanted her to fall out of a window she was incredible tiresome.

DNF it at 50%
The first book was ok.. but couldn’t get the courage to continue once I got to the second book.
The FMC is annoying AF!
And in every chapter they go shopping for new clothes it seems.
Not what I expected when I started the book unfortunately.

really wanted to like this book

Spoilers:

Read the first book and really liked it. She spoke of prophecy and the work building was very good. But the prophecy was only mentioned a handful of times in the 1st book. It was never brought up again. You don’t even get an explanation of the prophecy just that there is one. She states early on no one has ever seen her shift. Not even her boyfriend from the first book. Then in the second book changes her mind and now he has seen her shift. The author has several inconsistencies in her writing. She really needs to reread what she has already wrote or write down keep things to remind her what to and not to say. 3 chapters in to books 2 I was ready to DNF. But I don’t like doing that if I can help it. I struggled through book 2 only to find book 3 is blah and just as bad when it comes to her writing things that already happened and/or things she said happened now did not. It was very confusing at times and the MFC was very annoying. She loved the king now she doesn’t. She wants to hate him but he’s winning her over. She loves him but then she doesn’t. It was awful. I had high hopes seeing as the first book seemed promising. I do not recommend this book at all. If you see it as a suggestion….RUN!

Irritating book.

I realized halfway through this book that the author was a left leaning liberal. This book is not one I would recommend because of the terminology used and tried to hard to combine fantasy with modern term analogies and things like sexual toys? Also lesbians wolf shifters? Took away from story. Couldn't figure out what century it was from . I've read better stories , this one had to struggle to finish it.

I never read a book with a MH so dumb

Wow, this book went from ok to really bad, every choice that MH makes she gives the most stupid reason as her excuse, she thinks she’s smart but she is really stupid, it so sad 😭 it was painful to read.

Needs work

This story has potential. I love the concept and most of book one, but I couldn't even get into the other books. In the second half of book one, the MC is not likable and frustrating. The author also can't keep tracks of certain facts. I really wanted to like and read the rest, I just couldn't.

I’m so pleased to have finished this book! The plot is interesting enough, though fairly straightforward—no major twists or complex themes to unravel here. The pacing was fine; I wasn’t bored, but what kept pushing me to the finish line wasn’t excitement—it was frustration.

The biggest issue? The FMC. She’s so self-absorbed it’s ridiculous. Nearly everything she does is driven by her own agenda. She’s inherently selfish—toward her wolf, the MMC, her friends, and even her own father. If Reyner doesn’t feel like dealing with something, everything gets put on hold until she decides otherwise. Even when she claims to be making the ultimate sacrifice for her pack, it’s really just about preserving her own self-worth and leadership aspirations.

Speaking of leadership, her obsession with being an “equal leader” is another major irritant. She has no experience, no training, and no real development in this area, yet she’s inexplicably furious whenever she isn’t considered equal to the king.

Then there’s Elias and his sudden personality shift to conveniently serve the plot. He spends most of the book being accepting, supportive, and borderline saint-like despite Reyner’s behavior. But suddenly, to create drama with the Dragon King, he undergoes a complete (and temporary) transformation, only to snap right back into his usual character once the conflict is resolved. It feels forced.

Reyner’s “growth” into a war leader is equally unconvincing. One moment she’s a court lady, the next she’s barking military orders like “Hold!” to an actual trained army—without any real preparation or experience to justify it.

Then there’s the writing itself. Certain words are so overused it’s distracting—gasp appears 99 times, sometimes multiple times in the same sentence. Then there are words like elegant and functional, which also get repetitive to the point of irritation. And finally, the book could have benefited from better editing. When you’re already frustrated with the main character, repeated or incorrect words only make it worse.

I didn’t realize this book was an entire series packed into one volume, but if it had been split up, I doubt I would have continued past the first installment.

Huh

I like the story but it left me with questions. Why call it "Wolf King" when it was all about the queen? Elias wasn't really much of a main character. It doesn't feel like we ever got to know him. I had high hopes because the story really did seem promising but there were too many loose ends that were never resolved. 1. Was there significance to the necklace that Griffin gave Reyna? 2. If Reyna's father's pack knew how to use poisoned weapons, why didn't they use it more? 3. Why didn't they try to find out how the Dragon king was able to keep Corrine powerless? 4. Who was the spy who let the bandits know of the convoys movements? 5. Did the Griffin survive the battle?

Too much whining

It was an intriguing book at first but the constant MFC whining was too annoying to get past. DNF book 1

i stopped reading this when the dragon king came along. it just got so tedious and terrible even though it’s written well. i wanted to root for the MFC but i really could care less about her. she’s so hung up on things that make no sense. i wanted to know what happened to the city, and the fae, but it was sooo long i didn’t feel like it was worth finishing. 🤷🏽‍♀️ i would have done two stars simply on the merit of the MMC and the writing, but then i remembered how a bunch of the main characters are named Reyna, Rona, Wynona, Adora, and Fina. are you kidding right now?

No

I’m sorry I tried I really did. It’s just that MFC was so whiny and annoying. I couldn’t stand reading about her. Loved the concept but I just can’t see Elias really loving her. He barely spoke to her. And then her constant whiny oh it’s my life and I can’t make decisions waaaaahhhhh. “I’m really hot for you and I don’t know why”and the next “I can’t stand him touching me.” Was A DNF at 30%

boring

Read until the female character started bossing the formerly ‘ruthless king’ with her whining about him killing her treasonous bf who was using her to challenge king. King married her and she refused sleeping with him for months and he weakly tolerated it. Mated shifters want to be together.
No wonder she had no one in her old pack! Ugh!!

I DNF this book. I read the first one and will not be finishing the other 2. Reyna is whiny and acts like a brat. Elias has the personality of a wet sponge. Don’t waste your time.

>Book Review – Wolf King: The Wolves of the Night Trilogy

>I am an independent reviewer. This box set contains all 3 books in the Wolves of the Night Trilogy. The last book ends in an HEA. Reyna is a wolf shifter princess. She is taught not to shift and is abused by her father. She is forced to enter a contest in a neighboring kingdom. That kingdom’s ruler, Elias, is looking for a bride. The contest portion of the trilogy needs some work. The contestants did a lot of sitting around and talking. I wanted to see some dates with Elias and some jealousy amongst the contestants.

>Of course, Elias choses Reyna. His kingdom shows how shifters are supposed to live, which is hard for Reyna to understand. Reyna takes too long of a time to fall for Elias. The second book was a bit plodding due to the unreasonableness of Reyna. Reyna was bright yet couldn’t see how her old boyfriend was using her.

>The third book had Elias and Reyna in a loving relationship threatened by evil. Reyna’s goodness causes different factions to work together. The various kingdoms and inhabitants were fun to read about.

>This book is appropriate for an adult audience. I am giving this book 4 stars. I wish the HEA had an epilogue with some kids.

Great storyline, poor grammar and misspelled words not withstanding.

Book 1 and Book 3 were the best of the three. I’d have given it 4 stars for the original storyline, however the crudity of the intimate passages read like a porno film. Less is more, primarily because women do not think of themselves as being reduced to a ‘cunt’ or ‘pussy’ in any literal connotation, much less fictional.

One of the most annoying things is that the MFC is an unlikable, whiny assed brat. The hero has limited vocabulary when it comes to his mate and the one repetitive word he uses to describe her is ‘gorgeous’.

Book 3 introduces same sex wolf shifters (yes, really…wolves aren’t lgbtq in the natural world) so the author goes out of her way to seemingly include the requisite lesbian characters found in most of today’s tv shows, movies, and advertisements and is another off putting aspect of the trilogy. To each, their own...however, I prefer not to read about it. Too bad books don’t really come with Alphabet Warning Labels.

Read the other reviews before buying. I wish I had done so.

I think I finished this book on sheer willpower. I didn’t realize I was reading an entire trilogy in a single text. Had all the books been separate I don’t think I would have made it past the first book. The writing was pretty weak in the first book but does improve throughout the novels. There are some elements of the story that are mentioned and then neglected. Spoiler alert: For example: suddenly at the end of the third book Reyna has powers?! That is something that should have happened in the second book and then been explored in the third. Who puts something like this casually at the end of a trilogy?
The progression of Reyna’s friends into warrior women also seemed off base with their characters. It felt like the author very much wanted her female characters to be strong and strong = badass warrior chick. At least in romantasy books.
I rated the trilogy a two as, in general it’s an average shifter romantasy. However, there are times where the writing or story telling gets in its own way.

The MFC was annoying. I disliked how she acknowledged her connection to Elias but when the term mate was brought up she seemed lost on what that actually meant. I get her character was sheltered but in a shifter culture finding her mate shouldn't have come as such a surprise imo. It made the loyalty she had towards Griffin feel out of place, especially as she mentioned feeling more herself away from home and with Elias.

Griffin showing up to rescue her also didn't fit. He knew her plans to return so doing what he did just felt like a plot mechanism to add more drama. I like drama but only when it makes sense with the storyline. 🙄

Lastly, I was disappointed in the trials. I love me a good trial trope but this one leaked excitement. ie hardly any action and court intrigue...boring.

The hint at a prophecy and the city being destroyed/covered up wasn't enough for me to overlook the issues above. Stopped ~25% of the way through.

Wolf King contains the complete trilogy of The Wolves of the Night, a shifter romance filled with action-adventure, intrigue, passion, subterfuge, and suspense.
The story of Reyna and Elias is turbulent and steamy as it traverses over three books of engaging reading that are written well and features a cast of characters that keep the storyline fresh and interesting throughout.
The journey for Reyna begins with her forced participation in Elias’ King’s choice tournament for a bride. One in which she doesn’t plan on winning. Fate has other plans though and the Nightfall pack and it’s King will soon become an intricate part of Reyna’s future.
I enjoyed this series as will all readers who love to be immersed in a good shifter romance.

This is one of those books where JUST when you think everything is going great the story line goes in the opposite way and sucks you in even more.

The female main character, Reyna, is one you love and hate at the same time. Sometimes she can be annoying in the choices she makes then she goes and does better stuff and it makes you feel better about her.

The storyline evolves well and the character development is excellent. I would say some of the dialogue is a bit on the YA side but there is spicy involved so it's hard for me to say exactly what this book is ... Possibly upper YA?

The shifting aspect with the different regions and their proper etiquette was very interesting. I like the way the author did that and the way she explained the regions. I also like the other magical aspect of the story, I don't want to give too much away explaining that.

I have no idea why I forced myself to finish book 1. I skimmed a bit of book two and then threw in the towel. The plot was so boring, no chemistry between the main characters, and the absurd number of editing errors was unforgivable considering this was a compilation of a completed trilogy. I couldn’t even figure out what time period this was set it since it seemed to be medieval in nature, but the modern vernacular and fashion used so casually throughout the book was very confusing. Please buy this author a thesaurus. The number of times she used the term “gorgeous” was nauseating. There was so much good potential, I wanted soooo badly for Reina to step into the power she was given instead of whining and crying about not having agency in her life. Too many unanswered questions, not enough to keep me engaged.

I enjoyed reading this one

A little different wolf tale.
A bride trial, a reluctant entrant and a mad king. I enjoyed meeting all the characters and the kingdoms they were all from. I really enjoyed how the more Reyna tried to fail miserably the more she caught the king’s eye. And then her great surprise finding out Elias chose her to be his queen. She certainly didn’t see that coming.
There were multiple times throughout this though I could have reached into the pages and smacked her upside the head. Stubborn, unskilled, prone to rash actions that always backfired on her. Poor Elias didn’t know what a handful he was getting with his choice.
There’s a fair amount of spice, a lot of action along with some twists you probably won’t anticipate.
All in all, I am glad I found this.

I really want to like this trilogy. I finished book one BUT I dont think ill be able to keep reading. I love the story idea but OMG i hate the FMC! I actually want the king to choose someone else.

She's awful for no reason. She hates her wolf and all wolves?! she's a shifter who refuses to shift for no other reason than she doesn't want to and she thinks it's beneath her?!?! She ignores her wolf constantly. she finds out her father and secret boyfriend are using her and she falls out with the king for it when all he did was defend himself and his people.

Honestly I don't understand why the author wrote the fmc so badly. its makes no sense to the story

Also, for a book called the wolf king there were no POVs from him. we didnt find out anything about him other than what the FMC thought and most of that was made up in her own head

Wow

This series had it all. Lindsey Devin is a great writer. I love a book that can take me through a range of emotions and this series did just that. At one point I hated Reyna. I understand her point of view. I agreed with her and then hated her again. By the
last book I felt like I could finally see her growth as a woman. I loved that. Elias character never wavered for me. I loved him from the beginning. His character learned how to be an understanding husband. The series had action, friendship vibes, love, and crazy battles. It was awesome. I would definitely read them again. Great series.

I didn’t want to give this lower than three stars. But I’m afraid it was hard to relate to the female lead. She was in a better environment, being treated well and was still unhappy for the majority of the book. Maybe it’s where I am in life right now but at this time reading about someone who is doing well in life and then complaining and seeing the negative in everything is not it for me. I’m sure this is a great book and for someone else it would be wonderful. That’s why I gave it three stars.

was able only to read the first book, the main character is living in her own make-believe world and is not able to change even with help from friend she made anything and does not understand how much she hurts people who love her. Have started and the seconded book and her attitude is still the same, rigid and not able to believe that people care for her. read 2 chapters of the third book, still the same and instead of relaxing and living in there world like I normally do, I started to get angry, not what I want when I read

~ annoying heroine
~ fight for the kingdom
~ on/off again relationship

I stopped reading around 70%, I just couldn’t stay interested. The MFC has to be the most annoying, whining, self absorbed character I’ve ever read. There’s little cohesion, feelings change spontaneously and both characters consistently lie to each other and then complain the other is keeping secrets. The smut was the soft romantic kind which unfortunately….😴.

Plus he’s a wolf shifter who pulls out…not as bad as condoms but still. Our main lead Elias goes from Bloody King to Golden Retriever pretty quickly.

A captivating blend of danger,passion and supernatural intrigue

Well writen, Devin writing flows beautifully balancing action- packed moments with slow burn romantic tensions.The characters feel layered especially the brooding wolf king himself whose strength hides vulnerability that makes impossible not to root for.The heroine’s courage and wit shine ,making her the perfect match in both strength and spirit. Though I would’ve like at the a short epilogue, “ Wolf King” is an addictive read for anyone who loves powerful alpha and fierce heroines.

great trilogy

I think this is one of the best wolf shifter series I’ve read in a long time.
I liked all the characters. I especially liked the way the female characters were able to become friends in spite of them being pitted against each other in a challenge for the King in the first book.
They continued to be friends and developed skills that made them valuable to their country and each other.
Elias, the Wolf King tried to be the best King he could for his country. He had to learn to communicate with Reyna, his Queen, so they could develop their relationship and love.

DNF, sorry. The FMC got on my nerves really fast. She wants to explore, but the first inn they stay disgusted her ? She's in deep love with a guy she only kissed twice while she was drunk ? And he doesn't listen to her when she talks about what she likes? OMG no, girl, it's not love ! She is arguing with the king like they are some childish teenagers, but she is 25 and he is like 30. Everything about her is so cliché, I just can't. Maybe the story is good eventually, but I'll never know.
