Fractured Soul

by Helen Johnston, Stephanie Farrant (Editor), Paradox Book Cover Designs (Illustrator)

Felix my wear the title of the Alpha of the Six, but beneath the surface he's still the young wolf who survived the unthinkable.

As a young boy, he and his packmates were imprisoned in pens like livestock - prodded. tested, and beaten into submission. To protect the younger wolves, Felix took every punishment meant for them. He became their shield, their strength and eventually. their path to freedom.

He led them out. He kept them alive. And yet... he can't save himself.

Now free but far from healed. Felix is haunted by nightmares that never loosen their grip. Every day he fights a rising tide of guilt and self-loathing, convinced he's broken beyond repair. even as the Six begin to rebuild their lives, their Alpha is slipping deeper into a darkness he hides behind sharp edges and silence.

But fate has its eye on him.

A fierce, compassionate female crosses his path. Someone strong enough to challenge him, steady enough to face his shadows, and brave enough to love a wolf who doesn't believe he deserves anything at all.

She can pull him back from the brink. If he doesn't push her away first

Fractured Soul is book 3 in the wolf pack series by Helen Johnston.

This book focuses mainly on Felix from the 6 and tells everything from his POV. This book has alot of darker themes with regards to mental health, ptsd, SA, blood play etc. So do take heed of the triggers. Felix has always been my favourite as much as I love Lyle, Ralph & Jack!

Helen's writing is amazing as always, and although she truely is the legendary queen of smut, her books never fails to have a plot & a story too.

Book 3 is by far my favourite, Felix's story and POV, REALLY needed told. I seriously dont want this series to ever end.

Thanks so much for the opportunity to not only ARC this book, but also Alpha it Helen ❤️🐺

Best book in the series!! I didn't know how much I needed Felix's story till I read it. Everything he has gone through is brought to light so please make sure you read the trigger warning's (I have made a note of the chapters that cover the BIG triggers if you need them message me) These triggers are things such as Child Abuse, SA, Traumatic Birth and Attempted Suicide

Fractured Soul follows the story of Felix and Ellis, both have their hardships and must come together to help each other get through them. I love their instant connection, I like to believe that it isn't always the mate pull that gives them these feelings instantly, and it's themselves wanting to be with that other person, especially these two when they have so much stuff happening that brings them together.

Now just because heavy topics are mentioned in this book, does not mean there isn't any heavy petting, Helen our queen of smut has knocked it out of the park once again with the pure filth that she has written for us to indulge in.

Now the question is Helen will we ever get The 6's POV, perhaps in a novella?

This is a paranormal romance that packs an emotional punch and explores the true cost of heroism, Fractured Soul is a mandatory addition to your TBR pile. This isn't just another alpha wolf story; it’s a raw, poignant look at trauma and the grueling journey toward healing. Felix may hold the prestigious title of Alpha of the Six, but his status was forged in the fires of a living nightmare. As a young boy, he and his packmates were treated like livestock—caged, tested, and beaten. To save the younger wolves, Felix became their literal shield, absorbing every ounce of punishment meant for them until he finally led them to freedom. Haunted by nightmares that refuse to let go. Fighting a rising tide of self-loathing and the conviction that he is broken beyond repair. Hiding his descent into darkness behind "sharp edges" even as his pack begins to rebuild.this is a must read book trust me you don’t be disappointed ~Thank you, Beth, and the rest of the Wings and Words Arc Community for the free Arc of this book. I'm leaving this review voluntarily.~

Wow what a book.

The events that poor Felix had to go through when he was younger with are completely gutting. You learn so much more about him and the reason way he is the way he is. Seeing the relationship and acceptance between him and Ellis is lovely to see and you start to see him grow.

Ellis is a strong women who has to deal with a lot in a short amount of time but handles it all perfectly and it a the perfect fit for Felix.

You also get a little glimpse of more of the Six’s characters and o can’t wait to hear more about them - which I’m hoping will happen.

There’s also the super soft sides of all the Males when the young arrive it’s lovely to read about and the sweetest gestures from the males you would least expect it from.

The story line of this book is great and you learn so much about all of them.

Overall a great read and I would definitely recommend.

This series is amazing I was an ARC reader for this book and had to read the first two before I started to get into the storyline and I absolutely loved them this book is quite dark in parts and follows Felix's story as he finds his mate the love between them , The absolute heartbreak that runs through this book and the danger to the group was offset by a high level of spice and I love how the author didn't shy away from the mental health PTSD aspect of the book and the characters didn't treat Felix as less for dealing with it

What a book! Fractured Soul is the last book in this trilogy and it was brilliant. Loved it. Felix and his 6 have a place in my heart, they really do!

Ellis is our strong FMC she's also amazing and fits in to pack life super easy.

If your a fan of shifters and some spicy with some possessive and protective make characters then this is definitely a book you 100% need to read.

Thank you to Wings and Words for letting me read this book as an ARC.

I really like the way each book follows a different member of the pack. This one following Felix has to be my favourite so far. Felix and the six have to be my favourite characters in this series.

Slightly disappointed with this book. I really thought it was going to be the best of the 3 but ultimately it wasn’t for me.

I was kindly gifted this book through wings and words community
