Wolf's Daughter

Not yet published
Expected 30 Oct 26
“Childhood home looks like the safest place to hide, but the dark past Lilianna abandoned here years ago wants to bring her back.”

Lilianna was only seventeen when she was forced to leave home. After eight years, she must return to Silver Lake to say goodbye to her grandfather. She confronts her past. Something she cannot escape from. Lilianna falls back into addiction and wakes up the darkness, and this time, it won’t let her run away.
When someone damaged her car, left footprints behind the forest cabin's window, and was lurking near her home in daylight, Lilianna understood—she was not safe here either.
Now Lilianna must decide what she’s ready to sacrifice to reclaim her freedom. If she runs again, she may stay alive, but her family will be left in danger. If she stays, Lilianna could lose everything, including her life.

Well , I was a lucky person to read this book for free and leaving this review is a huge opportunity.

The book was amazing to read the writing was well studied and received by the reader as you can feel main characters emotion and what they are going through .Now for the first 85 to 100 pages of this book i was loving the ride but after that I felt that the plot was delayed or a bit repressed. From my perspective I think the author was trying to keep the plot a bit as a surprise or something i couldn't think about what was coming but it wasn't delivered properly . Also a few characters were a bit unpleasant to read which was a good thing and this was my only complaint . Otherwise the book was engaging and I as a reader felt the need to not to leave the book well my first read was in one sitting . And I am writing this review after reading the book twice .

And this part is for the author ,

Keep up the good work and I hope this will available in physical copy soon as I would love to add it in my collection. And I hope we get more books from you also thank you for giving me the chance to read this book.

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

I truly did not expect the way this story took so many twists and turns. I also was not fully ready for my emotions to go so up and down. This is a fantastic story of family secrets, small town drama, and life events.

Wolf’s Daughter was one of those books I picked up expecting to read for a little while and somehow finished in a single night.

From the beginning, I was drawn into Lilianna’s return to Silver Lake and, more importantly, into the complicated family dynamics waiting for her there. There is so much heartbreak woven into her story, and as pieces of her past begin to surface, I found myself rooting for Lily simply because I needed to. She is messy, vulnerable, and carrying the weight of trauma that makes many of her choices difficult to watch but easy to understand.

The story becomes increasingly dramatic and intense as the secrets start unraveling. Just when I thought I understood where things were headed, another revelation would shift the story and keep me questioning what was really happening. The author's prose is simple and very readable, which worked especially well with the heavier subject matter and kept the story moving without feeling weighed down. Between the family secrets, suspense, emotional moments, and twists, I was completely immersed.

Dark, heartbreaking, gripping, and surprisingly easy to fly through, I started Wolf’s Daughter and apparently had no intention of going to bed until I knew how Lily’s story ended.

Thank you to the author and BookSirens for the ARC.

Wow I enjoyed this story as it draws me in from the beginning and hooked tell the very ending as this has plot twist that keeps twists and keeps me on edge. This is a dark and intense read.

WHOA WHOA WHOA!!!

Ok first off, this had my least fav trope, and yet the author wrote it so well, it made me love the story more.

This book gave me sooo many feels, and I stayed up all night reading it.

The family dynamics, the siblings' relationships, and the secrets and twists were sooooo well done.

Please check your trigger warnings!!! This story will stay with me for a long while.

The author's prose is not fancy; it is simple and easy to read and that only makes the scenes hit harder.

Thank you to BookSirens and Erika Amber for the ARC!

Wolf’s Daughter was an emotional, messy read with a lot packed into it — family trauma, complicated relationships, grief, and healing. I really liked Lily’s journey and there were definitely moments that kept me wanting to know what happened next.

For me, the pacing did drag a little in places and some of the emotional moments felt a bit repetitive, but overall I still enjoyed the story and appreciated where the character arc went.

3.5/5 ⭐️

This book is not an easy read because of the themes, but the author's light writing style provided a balance against the darkness. I loved the details. If you miss one, it's possible you won't understand why one happened or another, and the emotional depth was developed well.
I enjoyed the family dynamics. It was so real and close to reality.
This story is not for everyone, but it was definitely mine.

I got an ARC and it was a great book, the trauma, addiction, family loyalty, and the danger of returning to a past that never truly let go. The story follows Lilianna, who left her hometown of Silver Lake at seventeen and is forced back eight years later after her grandfather’s death. Must read. Finished in 1 day.

When reading, I felt tension and was eager to keep reading to know what would happen next. Pages melted. The characters were developed very well. Each one is unique and has an individual bond with the main character. The plot twist hooked me even more. I didn't see what was coming.
