As a friend of the author, I approached “Keep the Wolves Away” with curiosity, but I can genuinely say the book exceeded my expectations. It’s the first book I’ve read in about a decade, and I was absolutely captivated. The story is gripping, and the vivid imagery brings each scene to life, making it hard to put down. While there are a few minor typos, they in no way detract from the overall enjoyment of the book. I found myself completely immersed, which is a rare accomplishment for me! I highly recommend it to anyone looking for an enticing read.

A debut novel written by a friend that holds its own outside of my bias. The pacing is great throughout the journey without overstaying its welcome in each setting. The story challenges its characters’ loyalties with familiar twists in a new style. A compelling read that draws you in quickly to end with a bang.
