HOLY MOLY what a freaking finale! Now I've loved each and every book in this gripping series, but MY GOD did Ms Hignett save the best for last. Yes she completely blew it out of the water with fae bells on to boot, making this last installment my complete ride or die read.
Believe me when I tell you I was near euphoric with a constant adrenaline high whilst reading this, punctured at times with me breaking out in nervous sweats as each tension point hit a crescendo. This author not only makes me live every word she writes, but she effortlessly takes control of my emotions every damn time, and I love her for it. Even saying goodbye to the characters I've come to adore with my whole heart wasn't as painful as I thought it would be because I was left with a smile on my face and happy tears coursing down my face. Perfection.....

I simply can't tell you just how much I love Daphne, from the moment I met her all fur and fury in a previous series, to watching the woman she becomes in this one, she captured my heart and wouldn't let it go. This slightly (okay more than slightly) unhinged wolf shifter is as quirky as they come, with an absolute heart of gold always looking out for the underdog and taking them under her wing. Even with Brain Daphne constantly in her head with bloodthirsty witticisms, she still manages to cling to her optimism like a beacon of hope that helps guide her. And with the enemies piling up and Christopher on her tail, her love, strength and fortitude still shines through, taking her to a new level of insane kickass. Yes, Daphne is one hell of a character, with a momentous gravity that pulls you in and doesn't let go. A girl that I've adored from the beginning of her journey to the end of it, one that has taught me there is always a light even in the bleakest of times, and I'll forever cherish the wild ride she has taken me on.

Romeo my lethal warlock with a soft center when it comes to Daphne, always has my heart tripping double time when he appears. His devotion and tenderness to the woman he loves literally knows no bounds, even if it means putting himself in danger. And when he uttered the words "My Sunshine. I'd burn down the whole world if anything happened to you" you can bet I not only squealed in delight I totally melted inside. Yes, this sexy, powerhouse of a man is pure poetry in motion and I'll die on this hill. Le sigh.

My magnificent murder goose Dwayne never fails to disappoint me in everything he does. Whether it be creating chaos to the extreme or sharing his love life escapades, he is a damn riot to behold. Becoming a father doesn't slow him down either as his dotes on his adorable daughter Dora, but even with this tender side to his nature you can be damn sure he's still as bloodthirsty as ever, with a side order of shenanary to go with it. Yep I'm gonna miss this crazy, crazy goose but he's permanently cemented in my heart so I won't miss him too badly.

With bloodshed, battles and surprises galore, this epic finale is a rollercoaster of a wild ride that will leave you gasping for breath. I don't know what the author has in store for us next, but I for one can't wait to find out. Highly recommend 😁 20/10

The Hidden City Supernatural Sleuth series goes out with a bang — blood, chaos, love, laughter, and a finale so perfect it broke me (in the best way).

I went into this book with so many emotions. I was never going to be ready to say goodbye to this strange but oh so lovable cast of characters (honestly, I could read about them grocery shopping and be entertained). But all good things have to come to an end , and wow, what an ending this was.

After giving myself a little pep talk, I dove into the last book in the Hidden City Supernatural Sleuth series. I don’t think I’ve ever been as emotionally invested in a character as I have with Daphne. She completely stole my heart! From the moment I met the sassy, stabby little wolf girl in Chloe’s story, I knew she was special. It’s no surprise she grew into the badass, resilient, kind hearted protector she’s become.

This final instalment sees Christopher Jupiter upping the stakes in his quest for Pandora’s Box, throwing all sorts of danger in Daphne’s path. Dwayne and Dora are the iconic daddy daughter duo I didn’t know I needed, who knew the murderous, promiscuous god of chaos would take parenting (mostly) seriously? Their antics had me laughing out loud.

And Romeo… sigh. He’s a dream come true as always. There will never be another book boyfriend who can compare. There’s bloodshed, tears, laughter, secrets, love, and so much more as the final battle brings everything to a close. I was absolutely riveted from the first word to the last. Honestly, I don’t think I’ve ever read a series finale as satisfying or flawless as this one. Just utter perfection.

I’ve said it before, but I’ll say it again: Lauretta Hignett is a master at writing incredible characters and telling insanely good stories. Her sense of humour is top tier , laughter is guaranteed with every book. As sad as I am that it’s over, I know this phenomenal author has another amazing story up her sleeve, and I can’t wait to see what she does next.

[Tracey Tonkin · Rating 5 out of 5]

I cried, scared tears, happy tears, tears of sorrow for the end, tears for the final dedication to the wonderful Jill, there was just a lot of emotion with this amazing, epic, phenomenal final book in Daphne’s series. Words cannot express how much I adore this series, and so many written by the insanely talented Lauretta Hignett, but this one is my favourite to date.

The complexity of the plot, the emotions of the characters, the world that makes perfect sense because of how well it is thought out and explained, there is so much perfection in this series. You cannot help but be completely immersed, engaged to the point where the world around you fades away as you need to know what happens next, so absorbed by Daphne and her battles that you are almost scared to read the next page for fear it will be over and you just aren’t ready… but now it is, and it was done so spectacularly, which such thorough sense of closure yet hope for more to come, that I feel satisfied rather than sad to be finished.

It helps that the promise of a spin off, with a hint at the end, keeps you confident you will see some of the crew again, and that there is still so much brilliant writing to come from one of my favourite UF authors on the planet! Lauretta you did it again, a masterpiece and I am grateful to have the privilege to have had advance access to read it, I just know it will be a massive success!

Perfect ending

I am always so sad when these series end but the endings are always so satisfying. Daphne's story holds such a special place in my heart and I love how she shaped this world and her future.

[Missjillian11 K · Rating 5 out of 5]

Dwayne and Dora? Absolutely hilarious. Lauretta’s sense of humor does not lack in this book! An absolute thrilling page turner, with an unbelievably satisfying conclusion to a phenomenal series. As any great author will do, this book evoked so many emotions in me. I’m incredibly sad to say goodbye to these characters, especially my book boyfriend Romeo, but damn, Lauretta absolutely did Daphne’s story justice. What a ride, like a Dwayne ride with Dora in her harness!

I love Lauretta’s Book Universe and would recommend all of her series to everyone. This is absolutely a must read!

[Jo · Rating 5 out of 5]

Daphne’s story has come to a very satisfying conclusion. Even with a solid cast, there were a couple of new characters that were introduced; who were great additions to the story. There were a few past cameos too.

Daphne has never had so much going on and there are some dark moments. But as ever her eternal hope and positivity come through.

There’s some really funny moments with Dora and I just love all of the characters so much. I’m hoping that we get to see them again in the next series. I was dreading having to say goodbye to this series but happy to say that I feel very satisfied with the conclusion.

[Penny · Rating 5 out of 5]

I can’t believe that this is the last book of Daphne’s! I have just adored, loved, and enjoyed her journey, and this last book is a whopper. Daphne is getting ready for everyone’s showdown with Christopher when they realize that he’s ready and making his move before they are all quite ready and at a slight disadvantage. What an emotional wild ride this last book is: I suffered, laughed, gasped, cried, and above all rejoiced with Daphne, Dwayne, Romeo, and every other character. This series ender is a remarkable story, and we get a teeny, tiny glimpse of the next one. Bring it on! Loved this. Highly recommend. I was provided a complimentary copy which I voluntarily reviewed.

The Wolf vs The world!
What a truly amazing finale to Daphne's story.
I feel like I was personally (invisibility) involved in her journey.
How a character can have (I'm stuck for the right analogy) SO much about them is rare.
These books are always hilarious, gruesome, mild boggling, characters that most could never dream up. The writing is very skilled and descriptive without being overboard, not that I'm an expert.
It takes a truly creative, if somewhat bizarre mind to write such impressive stories.
I have to admit, I live and breathe for Lauretta Hignetts books. I have many authors that I love, but every single one of Lauretta's books are off the charts in perfection for me.

[Beba Andric · Rating 5 out of 5]

I started this book with a ginormous knot in my stomach. As elated as I was to begin reading it, this being the final book in the series, had me twisted up something bad. Was I, am I ready to say goodbye to Daphne and Romeo? Myf? DWAYNE??? And the rest of the cast? I was woefully not. Except, a very strange thing happened when I reached the end, instead of being devastated, as I assumed I'd be, I was freaking doing the happy dance! I was freaking high fiving myself. I was freaking smiling! Here's why....

Since Daphne exploded onto the pages in a previous series, I couldn't get enough of her. This itsy bitsy wolf shifter with a vicious streak, stole my heart. What she suffered, what she endured, what she overcame, my heart bled for her. Surviving all she did, remaking herself as she did, to where she is today, a woman who's strong, a woman who's fiercely protective of those she loves, a woman who will do whatever it takes to protect children, a woman who refuses to give in to the evil around her, within her, a woman with the softest heart and the toughest stance, hell, her metamorphosis is complete. Wasn't easy, no siree, she even has a "extra her" living in her head, a bloodthirsty extra her. But...to understand why, you'd have to read the series. Lauretta's sensitive approach to the horrors Daphne went through, raw and emotional, is brilliant. She immersed me into Daphne's world, her storytelling reaching new heights with every book and this was no exception.

These are all characters I felt, carved into my DNA, spectacularly distinctive and, let's face it, as wacky as all heck! Lovely wacky! Cool wacky! Impressively wacky! The relationships Daphne forged with the most eccentric of eccentrics, gave even more depth to her. Her genuine WANT to help is palpable, tangible, I can almost grasp it. But she has major stumbling blocks along the way... trying to calm her "other" voice, evading arrogant Alphas, dodging crazy wizards, basically, trying to stay alive! Oh my do I adore the characters! Myf and Valerie made my jaw drop at how far they've come. And it's all thanks to the compassionate Daphne, who saw more in them than mere outcasts. That's a lie, ok, Daphne DID have a lot to do with it but it was the out of this world imagination of Ms Hignett, who took the lead and twisted it up and gave me a unique set of, well everything! Plot! Penmanship! Characters! Storytelling! Phenomenal! And Marie, how exciting to see her and her unhinged awesomeness once more, what a delight she is! ! The Countess is another character that is uniquely "her", I absolutely loved her. As I did Dora, an amazeballs baby who's not quite a baby! Now, her daddy, Dwayne, is a hoot a second, who is chaos incarnate, who is crazier than crazy, who is extraordinary in the true sense of the word. And a goose. And a god. And funny. And fun. His love for Daphne, unparalleled. She herself said it true, "Everyone I loved accepted me for who I was. Dwayne went a step further—he loved me for the monster I could occasionally be."

Romeo, be still my heart, I just adored! His relationship with Daphne, I just adored. His gentleness, his love, willingness to do anything, and I mean ANYTHING for Daphne, melted me into a puddle. And the "anything" was hair-raising at times. By golly were some scenes heart stopping! By the time I got to the battle scene at the end, the confrontation with Christopher and his goons, I was a limp noodle. Ms Hignett made every scene so vivid, I was there with them. Tense and intense, pulse racing like crazy, I participated in it all. This was a read that had complete control of me, right from book 1.

Ms Hignett surprised me more than once, good grief did she put me through the mincer! What incredible penmanship! Every blow landed on me, every thought took over my mind, every emotion courses through me like wildfire! There were giggles galore, there were tears, there were adrenaline rushes, there was despair and there was the warmth that infused me with all the love, support and the most amazing found family. This book and series truly has it all! It's hard to pinpoint exactly what makes this book and series so "standout", it the combination of the engaging plot, the fast but easy pace, the banter which is unimaginably impressive and clever. Heck, this entire series is clever! Delight on an unprecedented scale. So, sad, yes but very very content at this finale. I can't wait to see what this talented author produces next!

[Maria · Rating 5 out of 5]

I have loved this series and felt so sad, knowing that it was about to come to an end. I felt confident though, that this book would resolve into a very satisfying conclusion. Well I definitely wasn’t wrong about that!

We have known for some time that Daphne contained all of the evils from Pandora’s box, and that Christopher Jupiter wanted those evils released. Clearly, Jupiter could not be allowed to win!

We’ve also had the love story between Daphne and Romeo, and the knowledge that Romeo would do anything to keep Daphne safe.

Daphne’s relationship with Dwayne, God of Chaos, is unique in every way. Our much loved ‘murder goose’ has, in a definitely chaotic way, been looking out for Daphne and protecting her all along. His ‘love life’ has brought its own share of challenges Daphne’s way and now his daughter Dora brings a whole new level of chaos to the party.

Daphne is still doing her best to help and protect Otherworld children, with a new boss who seems to find more and more appointments for her to attend, while always working from home himself.

Now all of the threads of Daphne’s life are pulling together in the final battle against Christopher Jupiter, who is not above using any means to get Daphne into his clutches. Over the course of the series, Daphne has impacted on many peoples lives and now some of them are met again, either as pawns in the evil Jupiter’s plan, or as allies in the battle against him. Make no mistake about it, this is an epic battle that could easily end in disaster. Daphne needs all of her friends to step up and do their very best, even though it hurts her to think of them in harms way. Romeo shows just how much he will risk to protect her and some old friends play their part too. Dwayne, Myf, the Countess, Romeo’s coven and even Valerie have a huge part to play.

Set aside some time, because once you start reading, you won’t want to stop. Strap yourself in for a real rollercoaster of a ride, packed with action, danger, loyalty, strength and determination that will see your heart in your mouth and your emotions all over the place, as you head helter skelter for a conclusion of epic proportions.

Daphne now knows where Christopher Jupiter is and exactly what he’s up to. Trying to stop him before he gets the blessings he needs hasn’t worked and once again they are all blindsided by all the things he has put in to play. He has gathered not only Romeo’s enemies, but her enemies as well. Now they must try to figure out how to get ahead of Christopher Jupiter before he releases the Evils inside Daphne into the world and destroys all life as they know it.
Daphne is such a motherly (in her own way) character. She wants to fix everything for all the kids in O-CPS as well as her found family. But in this books she comes to realize that sometimes you have to let people help and her family definitely has the skills to help. Obviously Dwayne, we all know Dwayne and his skills! But even Dora has something that her team needs. (Side note - Dora is absolutely hilarious and you can’t help but giggle when you picture Dwayne with a baby bjorn carrying Dora while flying!) Let’s just say Dwayne being a dad was not on my BINGO card for this year but I am absolutely here for it! There are also some character reveals that I was absolutely surprised by. Oh, and the justice served to so many other characters was perfect!
Oh my word! This book was s bittersweet, knowing it’s the last book of this series but also needing to see how everything ends. This book brought everything full circle for Daphne. She not only has to deal with her new “case” but her previous cases come into play as well. There are non stop surprises and twists and once again Lauretta had me glued to the pages. I’ve said before her books are in-put-downable and this one is no exception. I can’t even put into words how much I love this series. From world building descriptions to the half-witch/half-machine monstrosities, you are right there whether you want to be or not. You can’t help but feel what Daphne feels and this book will go through all the emotions. As sad as I am for the series to be finished, I am happy to know another character will soon have her own series.

Daphne, sweet and sassy Daphne, wiggled into my mind as a tiny furious wolf pup in Hignett's Waif In The Wilds series! Can you imagine my delight at discovering Daphne was starring in her own novel, The Hidden City Supernatural Sleuth Series... tagline "Everyone thinks I’m sweet and innocent… but I’m the one who ate the big bad wolf." When her story began in book one, Daphne was searching for a new home and on a mission to save vulnerable supernatural kids. We meet her most intimate confidante, her inner "other" self, bloodthirsty Brain Daphne. Alpha Goose Lord of Chaos, Dwayne, is a recurring delightfully CRAZY savior and friend, a constant at her side unless off on his lusty adventures. Romeo, the High Priest, her Mate, is irresistible and dangerous; his scent is dark chocolate, sandalwood, and fireworks, and his passion for Daphne is potent, possibly divine!. Book 8 reintroduces old Friends, Myf, the Countess, Valerie, & Lennox, and introduces Dora, THE DEVOURER OF WORLDS! The despicable Christopher Jupiter attempts a coup to become the most powerful Blood Witch Master. Old Foes Judy the yoghurt witch & Azerad, and new foes, Ted Arran, and Pandora appear! An ultimate battle is brewing! Will Christopher unleash the vile evils of the world upon humanity? Can a Goddess of Hope, along with true, found Family, be enough to counter the Despairs? The clash of supernaturals, Fae, Shifters, Mechanicals, Witches, Vampires, and more commences! Who else will enter the fray?? My heart and mind were surging between horror and joy; delight and dread!! This culmination of Daphne's journey explodes in an epic tale of blindsides, bloodshed, and bombshells! Ms Hignette's writing is, as usual, captivating, compelling, engrossing, and delightfully vicious! The epilogue is an exquisite, delicious, dollop of Destiny... Tears!!!!! 5 stars times infinity and beyond!! {arc copy}

SLIGHT SPOILERS. This is a review of the entire series rather than just the final book. The final book I would rate two stars. The series as a whole three stars. I started out loving this series. The first two books were awesome. Daphne was a kick ass, take no prisoners heroine who you couldn't help but love and root for. The inner dialog between Brain Daphne and Heart Daphne was kind of cute and made sense as a coping mechanism for her and a way for her to make tough decisions. As the series progressed it became less so. Daphne with each new book became more and more an immature, indecisive character who by the final book was mainly just annoying. In the beginning she could analyze a situation swiftly and act appropriately. By the end Christoper Jupiter was several steps ahead of her and running circles around her with ease. She also seemed to go from being an emotionally mature woman to a star struck adolescent thinking constantly about the magnificence of her "boyfriend". That was especially disappointing because while she became a "ooo, look at me and my awesome boyfriend" teenager, Romeo, while very protective, continued to treat her like a capable partner. By the end I was wondering why he was even with her.
I think what made the changes in Daphne even more obvious and annoying was the growth in the other female characters. Holly, Myf, Valerie, Marie and even Baby Dora (whose arrival was one of the highlights of the series) became more delightful with every book while Daphne devolved into the emotional equivalent of a 15 year old. The entire series gets three stars only because of the strong start and the great other characters.

What an ending. The Wolf VS The World is the perfect bittersweet finale. I couldn’t wait to dive in but now it’s finished I feel a little lost.

Daphne has her hand full, juggling complex work cases, the end of the world looming Christopher Jupiter trying his best to absolutely everything, coupled with damn Judy Sagwood! but Brain Daphne has it handled and I quote “Professional on the outside. Homicidal on the inside. Just the way I like it.”

Dora is adorable and Dwayne is in his “father era”, his murderous, feral side is alive and well and it made for some hilarious scenes, especially when Dora eats an Ant Farm at school, Miss Grace is quickly taught her own lesson! Asherah and Dora make the cutest duo, Asherah just needed a little sister to bring out her softer side.

Marie’s unexpected return was one of the highlights for me, she’s fearless, feisty and unintentionally hilarious. Then there’s Myf thriving, living her best life and taking others under her wing (pun intended) it is what she was born for.

There are so many surprises in the Wolf vs the World and I loved every single one, especially the moment near the end where the Countess is told to punch a cone, that had me in stitches. Every character you have come to adore in this series has come so far, towards the final pages you have such a warm hearted feeling as you’re reading. Daphne and Romeo are a true match made off world!

The Wolf vs the World is pure glorious chaos and I would want it any other way.

I didn’t have particularly high expectations going into this one.

My reaction to the previous three books had already taught me that I was reading the series the wrong way. The trick is to ignore the characters' lapses in judgment, look past the plot holes, and (most importantly) not ask questions.

Once I did that, the story became much more enjoyable.

I still think the side characters carry the series. Dwayne and the Countess remain the highlights for me, and I enjoyed every scene they appeared in. Their unpredictability brought much-needed energy to the story.

That said, I found the finale weak, and some issues were impossible to ignore.

This is supposed to be a story about hope. Daphne is literally the Goddess of Hope, and throughout the series she spreads hope to everyone*.

*Terms and conditions apply.

Because in reality, she only extends that hope to people she considers worthy of it. Everyone else tends to end up dead.

I think what disappointed me most is that I expected a story centered around hope to argue that people aren't born evil—that there is hope for a brighter and kinder future, and that people can change.

But alas, I was wrong again.

The series seems to take the position that some people are simply irredeemable, and the best solution is to kill them all before they cause more harm.

In the end, I enjoyed parts of this series a great deal, but as a whole, it was a disappointment.

I wasn’t sure if I was looking forward or dreading this book. As the final book in the Daphne series, I wanted to read it but I didn’t want it to end. But this is a fantastic book and a great finale.
The Jupiter family has been trouble for Daphne and Romeo since the first book and it all comes to a head in this one.
Christopher Jupiter, now holding the spirit of Hephaestus, has been building an army to take down Daphne, release the evil entities that she has been holding inside her for years, and take over the world.
And to add more to the problems, Daphne’s long-lost father has arrived, taken over from Lennox as the shifter Alpha. He want’s Daphne back, not going to happen.
This book has action, big surprises, lots of suspense, humour and romance. There are some very tense moments. It’s amazing how much happens in this book but everything works just perfectly.
Although I can no longer look forward to any more adventures in this series, I am so glad I’ve read it.
This is awesome.

[Abroadbent · Rating 5 out of 5]

The final instalment—and what an absolute banger.

Once again, I was robbed of sleep because this page-turner simply refused to be put down.
I adored every moment. Daphne continues in true hero form: saving the innocent, saving the world, and doing it all with her trademark wit and grit.

The story kicks off with a visit to a thoroughly unlikeable ogre couple—walking embodiments of sexism and misogyny—whose behaviour has driven their daughter to run away. From there, everything unravels in the best possible way.
In this finale, the baddies finally get what’s coming (yes, I mean you, Judy), the goodies triumph, and Daphne’s internal–external monologue remains the absolute icing on the cake. Dwayne swoops in and out, leaving a glorious trail of chaos behind him.

I couldn’t recommend this author, this book, or this entire series more.
Honestly—who doesn’t need a little murder goose in their life?

This... is the best of them all! The Wolf vs. the World is the final book in The Hidden City Supernatural Sleuth series, and wraps up the various story lines. So, I can't really say too much because (spoilers!) but it is exciting, thrilling, charming, a rollercoaster that evokes both laughter and sniffles. Instead of a proper review (because of those darned spoilers), I thought I'd share my absolutely favorite passages that had me howling (when you read them in context, you'll be howling too):

#1
“I’m so sorry…"
“Why are you sorry?"
“It’s called empathy."
“Oh, right. Yeah, my therapist goes on about that.”

#2
The most amazing anticlimactic dialogue ever: “Papa, can I have ice cream?”

#3
The single most crucial word in the entire book: “Jump!”

This book is absolutely a must-read-NOW! You won't be sorry!

[Florie Vine · Rating 4 out of 5]

A nice ending to Daphne’s series, which ties in the various tension points nicely, between the main bad guy, self-discovery and dealing with what’s inside her, various relationships get closure and we get to a nice new normal for Daphne at the end of the series.

Of course, all of this includes all of Highnett’s unhinged humor, which she manages quite cleverly to add in without taking away from character attachment, tension or suspension of disbelief, which is quite hard to achieve.

This is the kind of world and cast of characters in which we’d like to get additional bonus novellas and spin-off, but I believe there is quite a back catalog of series within this universe for me to discover, and the little geek vampire has her own series that just started as well, so there is more to read, which is delightful.

Just wow, wow, wow! This book is epic! Stayed in bed all morning and read it from cover to cover. Daphne and the magnificent Romeo have grabbed my heart since the beginning, and this final instalment has everything I ever wanted - blood-soaked battle scenes, heartbreaking family dynamics, friends new and old, and SO MUCH FUN. The retribution is coming to those who deserve it, and you won't be disappointed in the deeply twisted ends of the characters we love to hate. Dwayne and Dora are adorable together, and OMG are there some surprises in store. I am in awe of how Lauretta masterfully weaves everything together, not a plothole is left unfilled, the characters grow and rise to the occasion in the most bizarre and unexpected ways. I adore the whole series, but this one is THE BEST EVER!

Perfect Ending, Can’t Wait to See the Next Series

There is a sweet spot few authors capture. It is the balance between Truth and the Absurd, Chaos and Intentional Precision, Love and Violence, Ridiculous Humor and Love, Spice and Gore… well, you get the picture. These books are action packed catastrophe and chaos, with a core of heart, redemption, and growth. They’ve hit on themes of loss, betrayal, revenge, redemption, death, destruction, resilience, love, chosen family, true morality and ethics, self-actualization, and, above all, Hope.

Reading these books is like jumping into a maelstrom and ending up somehow uplifted and encouraged at the end of the storm. It’s best just to go with it.

Awesome ending to a beautiful series

I have no words to express how wonderful this series has been. I was like little Dora and devoured everyone of these books. the world building and characters were so interesting and so fun. I found my self laughing, crying and cheering them on. Please do yourself a favor and start at the beginning you won't be disappointed. It has been years since I have found a series I could not wait to get to next book, just awesome. I have shed a little tear over this being the last in the series. Lauretta, I have not read your books before but you are an amazing writer. I can tell you put a lot of hard work and imagination into these stories, so Thank you. Please keep them coming. A new devoted reader.

Absolutely loved it!

I must say, I haven’t enjoyed a series of books this much since I can’t remember when. The MFC Daphne, and the MMC Romeo are so perfect for each other. They are both heroic, selfless, courageous, awesome characters. If you throw in the secondary characters like Dwayne, the Countess, Myf, even Lennox, you have a winning cast of characters, a motley crew. In this the end of the series, every storyline is wrapped up so satisfactorily, there is a lot of suspense, a lot of action, and a lot of feel good emotions. Excellent series, loved every book, and will miss these characters a lot! ❤️

Best ending ever!

I have been in the book doldrums for a while and struggling to read, which is incredibly hard for me. Wish I had known that Lauretta (and Daphne, Dwayne, and Romeo) would save me.

What can I say? There was action, romance, magic, an unexpected story arc and for someone who has been struggling to read due to feeling anxious over characters, Daphne is my ideal FMC as even when facing danger, I knew she would conquer it in the most spectacular way.

Thank you, Lauretta, for giving me an exciting but safe world to escape to while the real world seems so scary right now.

[Kate Nelson · Rating 5 out of 5]

Such a perfect ending to a fantastic series. It has been a real love/hate, edge of your seat journey with Daphne and Romeo and I have adored every minute of it, but for me, the characters surrounding them really make this series come alive and I feel like I’m leaving some of my best friends behind now that it is finished.
The author pulls you in and holds you hostage, making you feel all the things and I love the little moments of pure laugh out loud she sprinkles into every book.
Minimal bad language and no spice so I would recommend this to everyone and anyone!

Fantastic conclusion to Daphne’s journey

Lauretta has managed perfectly to bring so many threads together as this part of Daphnes story reaches an exciting conclusion.
Friends, gods and queens versus an evil mastermind and who knew Dwayne had so much loving Dad potential albeit in a non standard way.
Can Pandora’s box stay closed and will the world survive if it gets opened?
Engrossed from first to last page.

Superb!

Lauretta has delivered yet another masterpiece.

I wasn’t sure how she could wrap up Daphne’s adventures with only one more story, however she does so with her usual style—sharp wit, realistic characters (yes, even the God Of Chaos who is a goose!), and an unparalleled insight into the human condition.

I don’t want to write anything that is a spoiler, so will simply say that this is a must read series.

The wolf vs the world book 7

Daphne and Romeo once again save the day finally they will get to have their happy ever after, but just one little crisis to take care of first. If you haven't read any of the books in this series yet what are you waiting for ?. Do yourself a favor a read them in order from one through seven and you will u understand the series better, you won't regret it.

This is the end of Daphne's series, and I gotta say that it packs a wallop. More than a few wallops, actually! I want to tell you so much about it, but you're only going to be able to read it for the first time once, so I won't. I WILL say it's a very satisfying ending, and there's already a hint on what the next series will be!

What an absolutely fantastic ending of this series. It was action packed and full of twists and turns. Romeo shows just how much he is devoted to Daphne, and she to him. We get to see old friends , and new friends and all those good things.It was an absolute delight and completely unhinged in the best way! Looking forward to what is next!
