About the author
D.S. Wrights
80 books682 followersD.S. “Dee” Wrights was born 29th March 1980 in Germany. Her name is a pen name, and she describes writing as her passion and calling. Dee speaks three languages fluently, English, German and Dutch, and some other rudimentary.
Although she started writing at an early age and two short stories were published during high school, one as a school project and one in a regional newsletter – Dee never dared of thinking to pursue a writing career. Until she started writing fanfiction and readers encouraged her to publish The Beast And Me as an ebook in May 2014.
Dee worked at a publishing house at which she earned insight into the work, process, and production of publishing books. That was the reason why she chose to do all the work herself, apart from proofreading.
When talking about her novels, Dee explains that she loves to dive into the mindset of different characters, especially those of villains and anti-heroes. However, in addition to that, she enjoys writing women who start off as weak and grow through their experiences in her books and end up being their own hero.
The question "Why do you want to be my friend?" is meant seriously. If you have more friends than books, or your answer doesn't tell me anything, I most likely won't accept the request.

Heir (Howl #3) by D.S. Wrights & Lilith Dark D.S. Wrights and Lilith Dark did an amazing job with the third book to the HOWL series, HEIR. HEIR takes place where book two, HUNT leaves off. Liala and Rick are on the run from the hunters and making their way to the werewolf estate. This contemporary paranormal/horror/erotica story is suitable for adult audiences.
I like that the characters are complex. Liala grows tremendously throughout this series, in a short amount on time. I love that she embraces her situation and goes with it. I appreciate that she is open minded. We discover a lot about Rick. He has an interesting past and heritage. Nate is a thought-provoking wildcard that you are not certain how will play out. Each character is very different and dynamic.
Once again, I enjoyed the plot. HEIR was not as dark as the previous books. There were multiple twists. The conflicts were well-resolved. The story was fast paced. The epilogue was skillfully written, feeling well concluded. At 98-pages, it was a quick read that I easily finished the same day. D.S. Wrights and Lilith Dark make a great writing duo. I would read additional books by them in the future. I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book.

Heir is the third & final installment in this series (though I'm hoping to see more from this clan of Shifters in the future).
After everything Liala has endured she is going to have to dig deep to find an inner strength & trust her Instinct to trust the people she really shouldn't.
The perfect conclusion to this dark, twisted series.

I've been reading these books since the first in the series, and they keep getting better. I love how the authors intertwine paranormal with the erotic scenes. This book picks up right were Hunt leaves off by Liala and Rick escaping the Hunters while Nate just lets them escape. Liala doesn't know what to make of Rick yet, all she knows that he is helping her escape. She has to make a decision- blindly trust Rick that he will help her get back to her family and protect them from the Hunters. Once she gets back to her family she has yet another decision to make, follow her mother and send all the half breeds to their death or step up to her rightful place as being the Alpha. Heartache ensues when she has to make the difficult decision... Will she finally take a mate? Who will it be Rick or Nate?

This was my favorite of the 3 books in the series. Circumstances and events seemed to fall into place and the pace of the story was perfect, in my opinion.
Questions were answered, characters showed their strength and their purposes were made clear.
A wonderful paranormal story from all angles, the author showed great creativity and character development and I look forward to more books written by, D.S. Wrights.

This is the final book in the series.
I was not let down. This book was full of twists and turns. I felt like Liala. I was not sure who she should trust. I felt my emotions being pulled on a bit of a rollercoaster.
I think the ending was perfect.
I would definitely recommend this series. It was worth everyone of the five stars.

Heir is the third and final installment of Howl and picked up right where Hunt left off. This book definitely did not end how I had originally expected. Had some good twists and sexy surprises. A great close to the story.

Wow!
This series is a must read. Every word written in this book will have you hooked. The author has you begging for more from the first book to the last book. I can't wait to read more from this author.

Lia muss eine Entscheidung treffen und wird diese Entscheidung das Leben vieler retten? Nach dem Ende des letzten Bandes war ich gespannt darauf wie es weiter geht, welche Grenzen werden wir in diesem Band überschreiten. Tatsächlich habe ich es beendet und war etwas enttäuscht von dem Band. Nicht weil es schlecht war, nein es war wieder ein Genuss es zu lesen und neben der Spice Time war es auch spannend, süß und aufregend. Jedoch nach dem in den ersten zwei Bändern, hier die Grenzen überschritten worden sind, die Geschichte, das Verhalten von allen mich so geschockt hat und auch viel zum Nachdenken gegeben hat. Ähm, nein, das bekomme ich hier nicht, nur eine normale Fantasygeschichte mit viel Spice time. Die mir super gefallen hat, jedoch hatte ich einfach eine andere Erwartung beim Lesen des Buches. Klar, kam hier auch einiges interessante ans Licht und es war aufregend, spannend und ich konnte nicht aufhören zu lesen. Habe das Buch fast in einem Ruck durchgelesen. Dann kam das Ende und ich hatte nicht wirklich das Gefühl, dass es ein Ende ist. Eher so ein Auftakt für mehr ...

This book starts out on Chapter 14 but it picks up where the last one ended. It is DIRTY but delicious. Great conclusion to a gritty but delectable trilogy.

Super good! I am a fan of non-traditional stories and this is definitely it. There are some triggers in this story so be warned, but it was a good story.

Die Werwolfreihe von D.S. Wrights findet mit Heir seinen Abschluss...Dark und gefährlich mit einer Prise Sinnlichkeit - willkommen zurück in Crescent Valley...Der Schreibstil ist wie immer einzigartig und für manche teils grenzwertig...In der Luft schwebt immer eine gefährliche Spannung...Diese Liebe ist dabei nicht für jeden etwas...Aber definitiv nichts für schwache Nerven...
Diese außergewöhnliche Geschichte geht spannend weiter...Neue Wege werden gegangen und gefährliche Entscheidungen müssen getroffen werden...Innerhalb kurzer Zeit war das Buch beendet und mein Herz brach nicht nur einmal in der Zeit...Diese düstere Atmosphäre raubte mir teils den Atem...Also der Dark-Faktor ist in dieser Reihe 100% gegeben...Einzig der Romance-Anteil hätte für mich in Band 3 etwas stärker sein können...Aber da spricht mein Romantikherz...
Der Abschlussband ist weniger grenzwertig für mich, aber generell sollte die komplette Reihe mit bedacht gelesen werden...Es wird roh, brutal und anders als die bisherigen Dark Romance Storylines, die ihr vielleicht kennt...
Also, wer kommt mit nach Crescent Valley?...Ob wir es überleben werden, steht auf einem anderen Blatt geschrieben...Vielleicht werdet ihr auch nie wieder weg wollen...Aber gebt Acht - Nicht allen ist zu trauen.

Sagenhaft wie man bei einer derartigen Geschichte zu einem so gelungenen Ende kommen kann. Absolut toll zu lesen. Mich hat diese Trilogie von der ersten Seite an gefesselt, und ich war wirklich gespannt, wie sie Liala aus diesen Situationen "befreit".
Ich als großer Fan, von D.S. Wrights wurde wieder vollends überzeugt. Sie schreibt nicht für jedermann, manch detaillierte Beschreibung kann abschreckend wirken, aber ich finde genau diesen Schreibstil und ihre Art Geschichten umzusetzen so ansprechend.
Es geht zwar um Werwölfe und Wandler aber durch düstere und teilweise brutalen Ereignissen kann man es mit nichts vergleichen. Sehr einzigartige, spannende und gut durchdachte Trilogie. Sie schafft es trotz Gewalt auch die richtige Menge an Erotik einzubauen, wobei auch hier erwähnt werden sollte - sie bleibt dabei ihrem Stil treu...

Captivating series
This series must be read in order and is so worth it, it does contain scenes that can be triggers.
I love this series it’s well written and definitely worth dropping everything to read

I wished that the ending is longer, where we get more information about how their future may be.
