The Villains of Wolf Hollow #2
The Dragon's Daughter
I knew the score when I came to Wolf Hollow.
Get in, get out with as much cash and treasure as possible. Easy, simple and nothing that I haven’t accomplished before.
Except somewhere along the way I made a wrong turn.
Now I’m trapped in a deadly game of cat and mouse with the most vicious and captivating woman I have ever met. It’s a race to the finish line and I’m not so sure I will make it out of this one alive.
I thought being the wolf meant I’m the bad guy. Now I know I was never at the top of the food chain.
That spot has always belonged to the hunter.
And Calista Drache just so happens to be looking for a new fur coat.

Enthralling, sensual, and gritty!
The Dragon’s Daughter is a spicy, seductive tale that plunges you into the dangerous world of ruggedly handsome Christopher Deville who, after heading to the notoriously perilous Wolf Hollow to pull off the biggest heist of his life, encounters a slight wrinkle in his plan when he collides with the merciless, viciously bad girl Calista Drache.
The writing is titillating and intense. The characters are multilayered, obsessive, impulsive, and combustible. And the fast-paced, unapologetically salacious plot brims with danger, desire, drama, temptation, tenderness, mystique, scorching chemistry, deception, secrets, and a sizzling, high-stakes romance.
I honestly don’t know how to fully convey how much I loved The Dragon’s Daughter. It completely blew me away. Exceptionally detailed, darkly intense, and wildly creative, this is a standout tale by Everhart featuring a vivid cast of quirky characters I absolutely devoured. It’s a highly recommended read and one which will undoubtedly remain one of my favourite books of 2026.

'“Some of us are meant to live in the darkness. To bleed in the shadows so no one has to see the mess we leave behind.”' (Ch 39)
Dark Romantasy | Morally Grey (er Black) | Offpring of (reimagined) Fairytale Villains | Secrets | He Falls First | Feminine Rage | Childhood Trauma (check the triggers!!!)
Loved the 1st book and was eager to dive into this one. I highly recommend reading book one 1st!
That said... lured in from the first chapter! Seduced by the words. Just love the writing, and the characters are multi-layered, malicious, delicious, and captivating!
'There’s got to be folklore somewhere that cautions stray wolves from crossing paths with a dragon. The fire- breathing temptress who wears her scales like no other.' (Ch 23)
Calista is darkly devious and unapologetically vicious! Yet she can be somewhat of a vigilante. Is there a soft side to her? Definitely not one in regards to her personality! She is feminine rage bottled in a venomous reptile's hiss. She's always up for a twisted challenge.
'“There is only one thing you need to remember.” She steps forward, bringing us eye- to- .... - eye, “You’re not the villain of this story, Devil. I am.”' (Ch 18)
Enter challenger, Christopher, the tough guy with a heart for the broken and the strays. He's the new guy to Wolf Hollow, and is there with an agenda. And perhaps just enough of a devil-may-care attitude that he might very well be Calista's match. Their interactions are titillating. It's flirting, but on the unhinged side!
'Dripping from his neck to the tips of his knuckles, Christopher is a walking montage of bad decisions and even bigger regrets.' (Ch 6)
A town full of villains can never be boring! A story set in a town full of villains? — A bewitching riot of action and adventure of the unscrupulous sort! Throw these two scarred characters with horrific pasts into the mix, and the salacious hellfire steam unfurls like a volcano ready to erupt! Scorching hot 🔥 🥵 ❤️🔥💥
They are two broken, damaged pieces that fit together perfectly like a puzzle. Beware the angst, the pain, and the trauma! It is utterly gutting.
'A wolf and a dragon intertwined, our claws sinking into each other until there’s nothing but broken flesh sewn back together again.' (Ch 47)

4.5⭐️
I received a review copy and these are my thoughts:
WHAT WAS THIS BOOK?!?!! WOW! The last 10% left my heart pounding!
Jade’s writing is beautiful, almost poetic. She has a knack for writing broken characters and manages to find an incredible balance between world building, character development and plot when many times, one of these will take a major backseat. I did not feel this in TDD.
The world that Jade creates is complex, eerie and dangerous. Wolf Hollow is an unhappy, dark, gray-scale town, populated by villains and with each book, she adds depth and intricate details to build her set.
The MC’s backstories were both terribly heartbreaking and very much a contributing factor to the people they grew up to be, but beneath all the layers of trauma and pain, we find people who are still capable of love and kindness (mostly Christopher but Calista had her moments).
Calista and Christopher are in a way, kindred spirits. Both endured physical and emotional abuse as children and were both left with physical scares.
She’s a beautiful, intelligent, badass woman, with a vendetta against men (abusers). Christopher is a cocky playboy with a flare for explosives and breaking into safes. He thought he was going to waltz into Wolf Hollow and charm everyone with his British bad boy looks and accent, get “the job done” and be out in one piece. Calista wiped the smugness right off his handsome face because she was smarter and had bigger plans for him, for them. These two made quite the team. What we get throughout the book is the peeling back of the layers and tough exteriors these two present. He lends her the light she needs to rescue what is left of her humanity after having been stripped of it by years of continued abuse, and in turn, she sees and embraces the neglected and ill-loved little boy in him. Their chemistry is undeniable and their witty banter adds a level of humour and “lightness” to an otherwise, heavier story.
The plot twists just kept coming! The last 10% of the book left me speechless and with a pounding, bruised heart, when the deepest, darkest secrets were exposed.
Loved the side-characters that were introduced and Marlin made an appearance but he was a very bad boy! He was cruel and very much the psychopath we met in book 1 but somehow, both he and Melody (who also made an appearance) were even more unhinged than I remember from book 1.
Special mention to Ronan - Calista’s sidekick, her Doberman. They had the sweetest relationship and interactions.
I wasn’t sure how the story was going to end, but I was very happy with the ending. It was very satisfying after EVERYTHING that had happened!
*As always, please check trigger warning before picking up any dark romance. TWs include, but are not limited to: violence (physical, psychological/emotional), abuse (in the past), gore and torture, open door spice.
[Spice: 3.5/5]

5⭐️ for The Dragon's Daughter by Jade Everhart
Holy h*ll Jade has done it again, delivered a book that is so steamy and delicious I couldn't put it down. Calista already had my heart in book 1 (The Sea Witch's Son, also a must-read!) but with this book focused on her it made me fall even harder.
Calista is the unhinged FMC of my dreams, strong, fierce, badassery personified but with the saddest backstory, I just wanted to hug her but she'd probably stab me for even trying. The twist was so cleverly woven into the story, it was absolute perfection.
The trauma bonding was on point, both her and Christopher had me tearing up at what they've had to endure, and I loved that they just *got* each other. They understood each other's pain, and together they became a force of nature.
I love a found family trope, and I loved this one; Christopher's especially, but also Calista's, even if it was more subtle.
Villains are fascinating characters, and I love that Jade doesn't shy away from making them actually violent and morally black (not grey, but fully black) because they actually are villains, not just pretending to be. Check TW before diving into this one but know that it is dark, spicy, violent and absolutely deliciously written.
I highlighted SO MANY quotes reading this, Jade's writing is absolutely phenomenal, and the way it perfectly sets up the next book in the series? Loved it!
Thank you to Jade Everhart for a copy in exchange for a review. All opinions are my own.

“𝘿𝙚𝙫𝙞𝙡, 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙗𝙚𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙖 𝙗𝙖𝙙 𝙗𝙤𝙮 𝙖𝙜𝙖𝙞𝙣?”
I’m obsessed! I’ve been waiting for this story and it delivered! I immediately loved Christopher. He was charming and sexy and he knew it. But he met his match with Calista. I loved their relationship. How it went from joking (with a side of danger) to watching it bloom into more. Their chemistry and spice was *chefs kiss* perfection.
Also I loved Ronan and Calista 🥹 so cute.
This book is filled with suspense, secrets, spice, heists that made me not want to stop reading and twists!
Make sure to read the Sea Witch’s Son first and check trigger warnings!

This is a book that I was counting down to release day and it did not disappoint.
This indie author is exceptional! The Dragons Daughter kept me on the edge of my seat and I couldn’t put it down. It’s a book that you say “one more chapter” and before you know it it’s 5am and you don’t regret a thing.
So glad this was one of my first reads of 2026. Read The Sea Witches Son and then The Dragon’s Daughter. You will not be disappointed!

Jade Everhart has done it again! Get ready for heists and traps and twists and turns around every corner. I couldn’t put this book down and I absolutely loved following Christopher and Calista through this novel. 10/10, another stellar novel by Everhart!

Jade Everhart takes us Back to Wolf Hollow where the villains’ offspring are always getting up to no good, but this time, there is a new player in town.
Christopher Deville is the thief extraordinaire who wears his heart on his sleeves but whose tattoos hide a dark trauma. Calista Drache wears her scars proudly and can’t help but wonder what all that ink is covering up. From the moment they meet, there’s undeniably chemistry, but nothing good ever comes from Wolf Hollow. These characters will need to decide what is worth fighting for and who they are once they strip themselves of the masks they wear.
To start off 2026 with a book like this was a blessing. The Dragon’s Daughter was a book that I could overanalyze to my heart's content.
You could tell that every detail was intentionally woven by Jade Everhart to create a story as layered as its characters.
Importantly, Christopher’s background helps him understand Calista Drache in a way no one else seems to. But do you know what I love? The way Christopher was never this knight in shining armour that Calista's just been waiting for her whole life.
And on that note, give me the female main characters who AREN'T easy to love.
The ones who only want you to see their masks so we can confirm to them that they are the monsters they see when they look in the mirror.
Give me the women who are broken beyond what they think is repairable.
Then, give me the male main characters who do everything in their power to help that FMC find her spark again. I don't want the MMC who comes in hoping to fix everything and thinking they can save someone who they themselves think is past saving.
No, I want the man who stands by, on the sidelines, to remind the woman who she is every time she thinks she’s been kicked down one too many times. Honestly, give me characters like Calista and Christopher every day because boy did I love them.
And what do I love even more than these kinds of characters? Jade Everhart's writing.
She has a way of transporting us to Wolf Hollow as if we were really there. A heaviness settles over you the second you get back into this world, that isn't entirely unwelcome.
The eerie vibes and traumatic revelations were back in full force and Jade ensured to put her own twists on classic Disney lore with her retelling in this story.
The Dragon's Daughter was filled with darkness but also hopefulness at the end that I wasn't quite expecting. It reminds us that all of our cracks can be beautiful, as long as we believe that that's so.
It's for the dreamers in us, the broken hearted who want to feel better, but who don't always know how to get there.
Calista is the sad girl prototype, but she adds a certain level of fierceness that I've been missing in a lot of the "broken" characters I've come to love. What a beautiful balance that provided.
I am so happy that Jade is extending this series past two books because I am not ready to let go of these characters and this world just yet!!
This is a book you’ll want to add to your TBR this year if you love :
🐉 Mafia princess x thief newcomer vibes
🐉 Dark romance x Disney retelling
🐉 Fierce & broken FMC
🐉 Golden retriever British MMC with a traumatic background
🐉 Praise kinks
🐉 Dangerous heists and high stakes
🐉 Plot twists that you saw coming but also didn’t 🤪
And even if you don’t love all of these, you’re sure to love this read nonetheless ♥️
Huge thank you to Jade for trusting me with this e-arc ✨

Jade did it again🥹💚 Maleficent’s daughter x Cruella’s son! When she dropped the teasers, I had a feeling that Calista’s story and why she’d become a villain would absolutely break me and IT DID!
My heart is breaking for Calista! She’s an absolute baddie, calculative, deeply guarded, unhinged and arrogant and I absolutely adored her strength for surviving the things that broke her and being forced to grow up and learn to fight while being so young so she could fight the world❤️🩹 This was pure feminine rage :')) the way her future wasn’t hers to belong with! I could write about Calista all day long honestly🥺 just me wishing to jump into the book and protect her!
Christopher’s charming, gentle yet snarky! His love is so tender that made my heart squeeze! He grew up in a world where love is punished! But I’m glad that didn’t make him cold! This man wears his heart on his sleeve and isn’t afraid to submit to his woman hello?☹️ The way Calista did not have to hide her scars from him because he would find them no matter the layers she tryna cover them with!
It was giving "I don’t need your protection" and “I’ll still protect you" HELP ME that was so sweet🥺 it’s two people finding each other while carrying their own woulds and secrets! My heart breaks for the fact that they both were denied the childhood they deserved🥲
The tension between them since their first meet was palpable with them realizing they both were dangerous and could ruin each other’s plan!
And there were moments where I cackled so loud (constant bickering between christopher and marlin!!!!) and blushed so hard! The revelations at the end made made my head spin because my dumb brain was only able to catch up with the hints later on but still🤯
And Christopher’s family! Especially Horace!!!😆😩 This found family was everything where they were the safe space for each other! With them accepting Calista, it was heartwarming to watch it because after everything that she had been through, my girl deserves that!
Thank you for the ARC, Jade! 💚
Favourite quotes:
“And I broke things off because I found myself craving the company of someone else.” “I found myself wanting to choose you.”
“I quite like being threatened by beautiful women. Don’t mind being punished by them either.”
“This woman is the embodiment of temptation and I’m tempted to let her do whatever the fuck she wants with me.”
“Calista Drache is a fighter alright and I have a sneaking suspicion I’m the sucker standing on the other side.“
“And if I were to take you home and tie you up, just for a little fun, what would you say to that, Devil?” “Lead the way, darling.”
“You may not have chosen this life but you do get to choose the people you love.” “And if you’re really lucky, they might choose to love you too.”
“Darling.” “You never fail to ruin my evening.”
“I aim to please.”
“One of these days, I would really love to be disappointed.”

“You may not have chosen this life but you do get to choose the people you love.” “And if you’re really lucky, they might choose to love you too.”
“Darling.” “You never fail to ruin my evening.”
“I aim to please.”
“One of these days, I would really love to be disappointed.”

The Dragon’s Daughter shifts the Villains of Wolf Hollow series into the realm of high-stakes heist romance, centering on the friction between Christopher Deville and the formidable Calista Drache. As Christopher, a suave British thief with a penchant for explosives, attempts to navigate the lawless territory of Wolf Hollow, he quickly finds himself outmatched by Calista, the titular "Dragon’s Daughter." Calista is unapologetically vicious and highly intelligent, fueled by a feminine rage that keeps the cocky Christopher perpetually off-balance. Rather than a standard romance, their connection is a volatile game of cat-and-mouse where Christopher’s traditional charm is dismantled by Calista’s jagged edges and personal history of trauma. Watching these two navigate a forced proximity fueled by both mutual suspicion and undeniable heat provides a satisfying arc where the "villainous" traits they project become the very things that allow them to understand one another.
While Christopher and Calista’s battle of wits takes center stage, the narrative cleverly weaves in the descendants of other iconic figures, reimagining familiar fairy tale archetypes through a grayscale, criminal lens. These cameos and secondary roles enrich the world-building, making Wolf Hollow feel like an interconnected underworld where the heirs to black thrones must constantly vie for dominance. Blending the intense, personal journey of Christopher and Calista with these broader ensemble elements, we get a story that is as much about a legacy of darkness as it is about two broken individuals finding a raw, unapologetic connection in the shadows.
🍵 Final Verdict
I'm addicted and cannot wait for the next book to drop. This is a world that is impossible to put down. You find yourself rooting for these broken protagonists even as your heart breaks for the traumatic pasts. Highly recommend for fans of fast-paced high action tales with a love of Disney, darkness, and some spice. Ultimately, it is a visceral journey of healing and heat that leaves you in breathless anticipation for the next installment of this hauntingly reimagined legacy.

4.50⭐️
The stakes are higher, the tone is darker, and everything feels heavier in the best possible way. I didn’t know what to expect going into this story, but it completely caught me off guard and surprised me beyond words. Calista drew me in from the very beginning in the previous book, and in her own story she shines even brighter. She’s such a deeply layered character, shaped by past traumas, still carrying most of them in the present. By the end, she allows herself to feel vulnerable and lost, yet somehow still finds a new sense of purpose in the person who chose to come back for her.
That person is Christopher. Just as fractured, just as searching. He goes to Wolf Hollow hoping to find closure for wounds that never truly healed, only to discover something far more life-altering. Their connection is intense, emotional, and consuming. The push and pull between them, the quiet understanding, the power they hold over each other both in the bedroom and beyond. They don’t fix each other, but they balance each other, making each other’s strengths burn even brighter.
The side characters added so much depth to the story, and there were quiet, wholesome moments that genuinely wrapped around my heart and refused to let go. And I won’t pretend I saw everything coming. Some plotlines blindsided me completely, making the experience even more immersive and unforgettable. The way trauma is explored is raw, honest, and handled with so much care, making the story feel real, vulnerable, and deeply human.

ARC REVIEW
I am once again blown away by the brilliant mind that is Jade Everhart. It is so hard to put into words how obsessed I am with this one. I was already intrigued by Calista after reading TSWS, so I knew I was gonna love it but love is such an understated word. I am CONSUMED by it.
From front to back, I couldn't put this book down. Jade really took TDD to another level. I thought TSWS was intense but TDD blew it out of the water. Jade has such a way of writing characters who trauma bond that just rips your heart out and make you have the most intense emotions and she really didn't hold back when it came to Christopher and Calista.
These two were explosive together. I love how unhinged they are together and the way they toy with each other. And the banter between them? Some of the best I've ever read.
Also, if you're into unhinged bi-sexual badass FMCs, Calista's your girl 😏
And the comedy relief in this one was golden. The book itself is quite dark and intense and the comedic timing of the one liners had me laughing so much.
I highly recommend this one but please keep in mind that it is a dark romance and Jade doesn't sugarcoat anything so check the CW/TW before reading if needed. If you don't need to, I'd recommend going in blind 😈

Review of advance copy received from Author
AMAZING! A massive thank you to Jade Everhart for the ARC. I have been absolutely feral for this book since it was announced, and it did not disappoint in the slightest. While I went in expecting the high-stakes action and "cat and mouse" game promised in the blurb, I was not expecting the incredible journey of emotional recovery this story turned out to be.
Both Calista and Christopher are such powerhouse leads, but I have to talk about Christopher specifically. He is written as this strong, morally grey thief, but honestly, he is so much more than that. I loved that he isn't afraid to submit to Calista; he knows that showing her his truth and his trauma is okay. It was so moving to see a male lead who acknowledges his scars and is open about his desire to be loved by his mom. Watching them both navigate their deep trauma—both physical and mental—was incredibly emotional and rewarding.
Also, can we talk about the Disney Easter eggs?! They were absolutely awesome and such a fun addition to the story. Be prepared, because this book is SPICY; the chemistry is off the charts and the banter is absolutely top-tier. Even though some of the tropes aren't usually my "go-to," the writing was so compelling that I loved every single minute of it. The found family aspect was another standout, and I would have loved even more of Christopher's team because their dynamic is just that good. This book hits every mark: big heists, non-stop action, and deeply resonant character growth. The lead-up to book three has me so excited, though I’m already sad that we have to wait a while!

🎉RELEASE DAY REVIEW🎉
“I wrap myself around him, stealing the warmth from his soul as though I would dare to call it my own.“
“Some of us are meant to live in the darkness. To bleed in the shadows so no one has to see the mess we leave behind.”
“A woman who slaughters and drains the world of everything good in it, I am what my mother designed me to be. A killer. A monster.“
This is chaotic perfection. As a lifelong Disney villain enthusiast, this series was made for me… hands down my favourite retellings. Maleficent’s daughter and Cruella Deville’s son?!?! SAY. LESS. Not to mention it’s written by a Canadian babe who lives a few hours away from me??? The universe said yes actually.
This is for the dark romance girlies who don’t ask questions and love their men AND WOMEN morally grey to fully black. The spice? Illegal. The vibes? Unhinged. The obsession? Terminal. Now go stalk the sprayed edge editions immediately and drool over the insanely gorgeous character art on her page. Xx ☠️

And if you haven’t already met Marlin Seaborn from book 1, The Sea Witch’s Son, go read it NOWWW🐙

JADE, YOU HAVE DONE IT AGAIN!
My girl knows how to write a dark romance so well. The Sea Witch’s Son was incredible and I absolutely loved Marlin and Melody’s dark love story—but Calista and Christopher? WOW.
Calista’s story alone was deeply dark and traumatic. It completely broke my heart while also making me root for her every step of the way. She is, hands down, my favorite FMC Jade has written so far.
And Christopher… this British bad boy was beyond swoon-worthy. He carries his own scars and darkness, yet there’s a light within him that somehow shines through and warms Calista’s shadowed soul.
Together, they are perfectly broken, perfectly scarred, and perfectly made for each other—in the darkest, most beautiful way. They understood one another on a level that felt raw and real. This book had me in tears. The beauty found within such darkness was breathtaking.
I loved this book so much.
Thank you again, Jade, for allowing me to be a part of this series. I love your work, and this new dark romance journey is absolutely perfect. 🖤✨

This book surprised me in ways I didn’t know I needed.
The story is raw, dark, and layered with Disney easter eggs and connections that made everything feel even more immersive. The characters are unhinged in the most compelling and chaotic way.
The romance is emotional and intense, with banter and one-liners that had me kicking my feet. The push and pull, the constant fight for control between the characters, is powerful, and it becomes especially beautiful when two broken people begin to find a quiet understanding in each other that they’ve never experienced before.
The story is dark and reflective, with every detail feeling intentional and purposeful, adding depth to both the characters and the plot. It gently reminds us that our broken pasts and scars aren’t flaws, but something beautiful, shaping us into stronger versions of ourselves.
The tone is definitely dark, but wow is it worth it.
⚠️ Please check trigger warnings before reading.
If you are a fan of Disney, Once Upon a Time, or The Descendants I think would you really enjoy this!

Review of advance copy received from Author
We’re back in Wolf Hollow and I couldn’t be happier! The Dragon’s Daughter is a dark, seductive, high-stakes romance and I expected nothing less from Jade. Following charming British thief Christopher Deville and the viciously guarded Calista Drache, this book is layered with danger, trauma, obsession, and undeniable chemistry.
What I Loved
* Calista Drache as an FMC: The unhinged, fiercely guarded FMC of my dreams. Arrogant, wounded, and fueled by pure feminine rage. Her story broke me, and I just wanted to protect her … from afar 😉
* Christopher Deville: Gentle, charming, and snarky, with a heart he refuses to hide despite growing up where love was punished. His tenderness, emotional openness, and refusal to “fix” Calista made him irresistible. I love everything about him!
* Their Relationship: The trauma bonding was done so well. There was no need to explain their pain or scars. They just got it!
* The Chemistry & Tension: Explosive from their first meeting. This story had everything I love; banter, emotional unraveling, and slow burn. Yes please 🙏
* Found Family: One of my favorite tropes! Christopher’s family have my heart. I love how they accepted Calista, no questions.
* Villains Who Are Truly Villains: They are violent, morally black, and terrifying. Check trigger warnings but the payoff is worth it.
* The Twist & Ending: The twist I was not expecting and broke my heart. The ending sure made up for it though!
This may just be my favourite book of Jade’s to date. If you’re a fan of flawed characters, and a devastating romance then you need to grab this one.
Thank you Jade for this ARC!

This book was absolutely gripping from start to finish! The Dragon’s Daughter is the most thrilling game of cat and mouse I’ve ever read, keeping me completely hooked and turning pages late into the night.
The tension is relentless, and every move feels high-stakes in the best way.
The characters are strong, intense, and compelling.
I especially loved the multiple POVs, which added so much depth to the story and let me experience the intrigue, danger, and emotion from every angle.
Each perspective brought new insight and kept the plot feeling dynamic and immersive!
Check your trigger warnings!
This book does contain more death, gore, and violence than my usual reads BUT I still fully enjoyed the story!

the dragon’s daughter
My first review of 2026 and I’m so happy is about this book! What an incredible and amazingly written this story was. Calista and Christopher are main characters of their own story but together? They’re a whole new level.
The banter between them was CRAZYYYYYY. I’m smitten with them. And the plot? D@mn Jade! I think YOU KNEW what you were doing by writing this 😏. Every time I thought it couldn’t get better I was shut down.
This is a high recommendation from me. This book was amazing. Recently I’m not having too much time to read - life, school and work - but this was a book I couldn’t stop reading even if I had to sacrifice my meal time 👀.
Thank you so much Jade for putting your trust in me. I’m so excited for the next book 🫶🏽.

Book Review : 5 ⭐️
Spice Level : 3.5 🌶️
Guys, to say I’m obsessed with this story is an understatement.
I want to say Thank you to Jade Everhart for trusting me to be apart of her team and for the opportunity to get an ARC of this book!
This book pulled me in way faster than I expected. This book really said “What if Disney villains grew up, joined the mafia, and caught feelings?” and I will never recover.
The praise kink? Immaculate.
The tension? Constant.
The spice and unforgiving love? Memorable.
The Disney Easter eggs? Dark, clever, and ridiculously fun to catch.
The main Characters, Calista and Christopher have an intense connection, it was messy, feral and built through dangerous heists, shared trauma, and a bond that feels just as destructive as it is addictive.
The Dragon’s Daughter had me hooked from page one. The characters, emotional tension, and the mix of found family and romance had me fully locked in and desperately rooting for them the entire time.
One of my favorite parts? The Disney Easter eggs sprinkled throughout the book. They’re clever, dark, and woven in so smoothly that they add an extra layer of fun without pulling you out of the story. If you love spotting subtle nods and twisted fairytale vibes, you’re going to eat this up.

Our girl Calista got her own book! I absolutely adored her character in The Sea Witch's Son; she is ruthless, cunning and gave absolutely zero f*cks; this also carries on in this book but we get so much for depth from her!
Christopher the MMC embraces his found family and I'm ALL for it! An expert thief, he is on a quest to secure his found families future! He to is loyal, determined and totally swoon worthy!
The tension, the banter and the plot had me craving more more more! I could not for the life of me put this book down. I was fanning myself multiple times throughout this book because it definitely brought THE HEAT 🥵! We have some of our favourite characters from The Sea Witch's Son make appearances throughout this book which I loved!!
Without a doubt a must read for anyone who is a fan of villains, found family, banter and incredible s*xual tension 🪭
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

I am FERAL! This book was seriously brilliant. Twists, and secrets, and oh my that HEAT! I am honestly already ready for a reread because I NEED more! That prologue speaks to Jade's genius because the crossover from her previous series was perfection. This book was EVERYTHING. Hauntingly beautiful and horrifying and so much f*cking fun. This review might seem like I'm laying it on a little thick with the praise but trust me when I see it's well earned! Read this. Read everything Jade Everhart has written. Then send me a DM to thank me for my praise kink. You're welcome 😜

Wow! I’m nut sure I have the words to explain how amazing this book was. Christopher and Callista were explosive. This book grabbed me and took me on the heist, the adventure, action and danger. I happily accepted going along for the ride. This book was seductive and sultry. It holds onto you until the end. I spent the entire time in the edge of my seat. These two were spicy and hot. The twists and turns had me unsure if I was taking a hard left or going to be thrown to my right.
I love every single minute of this book. Thank you so much for allowing me to be a part of your ARC team Jade ❤️🔥

I'm obsessed. So obsessed. Calista Drache, the embodiment of feminine rage. Christopher Deville, chaos incarnate. What could be more perfect than the dragon and the wolf? This book was everything I wanted and so much more. The twists, the schemes, the spice, the rage - all of it perfection. Jade continues to slay with these villain kids and I'm positive there will never be a day I don't want more of Wolf Hollow. 😈

Oh my gosh, I absolutely loved this book! It’s not usually my kind of thing, but I fell head over heels for the Sea Witch’s son and knew I had to read the second book. Book two was just as captivating and didn’t disappoint at all. Jade’s writing simply just draws you in and it’s not a book you want to put down. This action packed book kept me on my toes. Definitely would recommend reading it.

An enigmatic, sultry, and captivating read I obsessed over. A bad boy with a heart of gold and a monster with a soul that only he could see.
Everhart takes you on a rollercoaster ride of passion, heists, twists and turns, and utter, scrumptious chaos in Book Two of the Villains of Wolf Hollow Series.

WOAH.
This book has everything. I had to read book 2 in preparation but what a great duo of a story so far. I just came across this author on Instagram but her books intrigued me so much, and they were highly rated. Straight away I could see why... I couldn't put them down! The characters and plot are so perfectly matched.

At first, I wasn't convinced I would like Christopher and Calista as much as Marlin and Melody but they both have equally as powerful love stories.
I laughed, I cried, I got turned on.
I'm generally very conservative about my 5 star ratings but Jade deserves each and every one of my 10 stars I have given them.
