Mother of Wolves

Wolves of Crimson Hollow #4

by M.H. Soars, Michelle Hercules

Seven months after the events of Pack’s Queen, Red and her mates are finally able to enjoy their bond. With the imminent arrival of their babies, their only concern is how many diapers to buy and picking out babies’ names.

But the Furies, Artemis ancient enemies, have escaped their Underworld prison, and they’re now thirsty for revenge. Unable to touch the goddess, they have set their sight on Artemis’ former wolves, Sam and Dante.

Fearsome and powerful, their malicious spell will not only affect the Wolfe brothers but everyone in Crimson Hollow. A bolt of mass amnesia will hit the small town, leaving Red pregnant and without a clue on how she got knocked up.

To save her mates, Red will have to rely on her instincts and on the power of the bond she shares with Tristan, Sam, and Dante. But time is not on her side. If she can’t destroy the Furies and reverse their spell, she might lose everything she loves, including her unborn children.

About the author

I always knew creative arts were my calling but not in a million years did I think I would become an author. With a background in fashion design I thought I would follow that path. But one day, out of the blue, I had an idea for a book. One page turned into ten pages, ten pages turned into a hundred, and before I knew, my first novel, The Prophecy of Arcadia, was born.

I live in Florida with my husband and baby daughter. I'm currently working on the Arcadian Wars series, the Elements series, and the Love Me, I'm Famous series.

Arcadian Wars is a YA Paranormal/SciFi Romance series. It follows the life of a group of teens who possess incredible powers and have a very important mission: save their planet and in the process, save Earth too. The first book, The Prophecy of Arcadia, and the novella, The Fall of Arcadia, are already available. The second book, The Phoenix Shadow, will be published in the summer of 2015.

Elements is a new YA Paranormal Romance series. It focuses on two sisters who hold the key to stop a full-blown war between elemental beings and humans. Look for the first book by the end of 2015.

Love Me, I'm Famous is a NA Contemporary Romance series and each book will be a standalone focused on different characters. As the name of the series suggests, at least one of the characters in each book will be somewhat famous. The first book is slated to be published later in 2015.

This one was hands down my favorite in the series. I loved that we got more of Red and her mates and a glimpse of her kids. Now I am left with so many questions. Like why does Armand look like the King of Bastards? What is his other half? What happened to Trinity and will there be something between her and Leo? What about Nina and Billy? What's the scoop with Xander and Nadine? Cause I feel like maybe she might be his mate or something. Kenya is a half demon? (Though it's not confirmed yet). Like who is her father and what powers will she develop? Athena being Diana? Please tell me there is more. I hope we see more of Diana, and Jude, and Lochie. Why would Erin need Red? Will she be taking over the Midnight Lily Coven?

I even got confused when all of them lost their memories.

Overall great series sad that it is over but excited to read more like this!

Hercules blows me away with each novel! Her ability to open the mind up to these amazing worlds and story lines is just WOW! Seriously WOW! I am left speechless and breathless each time!

Seeing the power of love break through was so beautiful and this ending/beginning has be so anxious for what is to come! I know that I won’t be prepared and I can’t wait!

[Ola Adamska · Rating 5 out of 5]

OMFG! This story is just a novella, but it has s much going on.
Hate, vengeance, fight against the deities, and SETS UP turn of events for the SPIN-OFF! And I LOVED it! I need the whole new ARC right now as Ms. Soars' stories are so imaginative and epic!
Red and her guys are up to the fight, but will they have enough power? Or finally, this will make their destruction?

I liked this series, but I did not like reverse harem concept.

[Cherylynn Tilley · Rating 5 out of 5]

Loved it

I’m loving this series. I love how we get more of Red the guys and now there kids. I’m looking forward to reading more.

[Vickie Couture · Rating 3 out of 5]

Chaos! This book is pure chaos! In a book that is supposed to close off a series the author layered so much more into it. Possibly this was done on purpose to leave it open for more spin off series to come!?🤷‍♀️ I wouldn’t be sad if this was the case.
This read starts off and I was completely lost with what was happening for like half the book. I just had to push through it and trust the process. Turns out there are more Greek mythology characters added to this that are causing havoc in the form of mind manipulation….hence the confusion. The characters were confused and the reader is confused; success by the author on this! However, when it finally starts to come together and the ah-ha moments click in my brain, it turns out to be an ok short read. Totally looking forward for more to come -possibly leaving the wolf shifters behind and diving more into the complexities introduced with the Greek mythology characters and/or the other shifter kinds. I would love to know how the little female little wolf pup from this story will fit in with the Goddess of War!

Warning if you haven’t read Books 1-3 of Wolves of Crimson Hollow yet you’re in for major spoilers so stop here. That being said I cannot recommend this series enough.

After an emotional rollercoaster I finally finished Mother of Wolves and was not disappointed. We left off with Dante, Sam, Tristian, and Red being told that they were expecting and now we see just what they’ll have to overcome to bring life into the world.

I loved every single one of her characters including her side characters. Billy, Nina, Zeke, and several others have deeply worked their ways into my heart. I found myself just as eager to learn more about everyone else as our main Hero’s and Herione. Something that’s rare for me. Michelle Hercules never ceases to amaze me. Not only is her writing brilliant but her stories really capture you.

Actual rating 4.5
Whaaaat?!
.
My mind is blown!
.
This book wasn’t at all what I was expecting. The turn this took blew my mind. I loved the blend of Greek mythology in this and that the characters were what you would think they were.
.
This series has been incredible and I loved every single one of the books. Such an exciting and eventful series of books. Every book is different from the last and the anticipation and excitement builds throughout.
.
Incredible storytelling and writing from Michelle. Her writing and capability to capture and hold your attention is amazing. So much details go through the books and it never fees rushed which I love. She captivated me with this series and I seriously didn’t want it to end.
.
Amazing conclusion to this awesome series.

[Jessica S · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wow just wow.
The books get better and better. I didn't think there would be any plot twists left, but there where more than enough.
The book is shorter than the previous ones and even if its the last one in the wolves of Crimson Hollow series. It sure ends with one big cliffhanger and so many unanswered questions. How about billy and Nina? Is for some reason Xander the mate for Nadine and is that why he acts extra grumpy around her? What other half is Armand? For some reason I have the feeling he's the son of prythian.
And what is it with Kenya, what part supernatural is she? The spell didn't work, so is she part demon?
Man I need to read the spin off books.
My compliments for creating such books that you want to keep reading
Can't get enough of them

[Luluna · Rating 2 out of 5]

Honestly, I couldn't believe just how messy and all over the place this book is. Thought that it will be more of an epilogue of Red, Tristan, Dante and Sam during and after Red's pregnancy, which it was. But for some reason, greek gods was involved here with Furis and everyone losing their memories because the Furis wanted to revenge against Dante and Sam? Like what? This literally came out of where and it doesn't make sense to me. It also felt a little repetitive, especially when Crimson Hollow and all the mates had their memories changed two times.

I was very disappointed in this book. Did not enjoy it. :(
However, I would say though, the ending did provide a good conclusion to the series, and it also had a little cliffhanger for the spin off.

[Kyan · Rating 4 out of 5]

So. Let's talk about this little Novella.
I really enjoyed reading it.
Always love seeing a glimpse into my favorite couples-- post all the pre relationship drama that happens. It's my favorite.

I hateeeeeeeee when they have to go through this type of situation though.
Cause my girl Red is just out here trying to be happy.
Mated. Having her babies.
Then people gotta come out of nowhere and mess it up.
This won't be a long review, in fact, if you read the series then you already know you want to read this book. I hate giving spoilers-- you gotta read it to get the information.

The tease at the end though-- for a potential series spinoff, HERE FOR IT.

[Stephanie Barnes · Rating 4 out of 5]

Red is going to have triplets. The Furies escape the Underworld but Hades won't take responsibility for it. Pegasus asks Artimus if she will help the humans and shifters, since she is the one that sent the Furies to prison. Everyday the 3 brothers and Red have different memories but not of each other, as the Furies make them forget. There is the pull since their hearts are bound together.
Athena helps Red and Artemis shows up & helps too.
There are a couple occasions where there are sex scenes with all 4 of them. Not appropriate for under 18. Not as many errors in this book. This will end with a cliffhanger which disappointed me.

[Linda G · Rating 4 out of 5]

The final chapter and boy did the Furies do a number on Red and the boys. This story jumped into the future and I feel left some open ended items from Book 3, including Nadine and the Bear alpha, Billy and the stealthy fox sister (what was she doing owing the King of the Bastards?). Even the hunters and Kenya were somewhat left hanging as well as Red's ex and his magical crew... they all just seemed to disappear.
Love the triplets chemistry with Red and how it can overcome pretty much anything, including Artemis leaving them in the dust again. Babies and Mt. Olympus, a wicked combination leading to a future of servitude back in Crimson Hollow.

[Sue Porter · Rating 5 out of 5]

A sublime series

Okay so I haven't reviewed each book, because I just couldnt wait to open the next book.
I do love a werewolf book, especially one with really hot interludes, and this series really fitted the bill. Wolf shifters, plus load of other supernatural plus gods, flitter in and out of the well written books, and they kept my attention from start to finish.
Ultimately the books are about Amelia Redwood, known as Red, and her three chunky wolf shifter triplet mates Tristan, Sam and Dante.
Not going to give any spoilers just going to really recommend the series.

[Adrianna · Rating 3 out of 5]

Overall, this book was okay. I thought the premise was fun. I loved how the whole town fell under a spell except for Zeke and Kenya. I hoped this might lead to some major revelation about Kenya’s background but it doesn’t. We know she’s “other” and assume her father is a demon of some sort but we don’t get anything concrete. Then there’s poor Billie. I was bummed out he doesn’t end up with the fox shifter. And also nothing happened with the bear shifter the little jaguar shifter. Bummer. Mostly, I just hated the ending.

[Cheryl A · Rating 5 out of 5]

I enjoyed reading this series. I love reading paranormal romances. I have read many of Michelle’s books and this series is an awesome paranormal read. I love the characters she has portrayed in this series. This is Amelia Redford, Red’s story. She finds out that she is a wolf shifter and more. She is mated to three alpha wolves, Triston, Dante and Samuel Wolfe. They have many obstacles to overcome to achieve their HEA.

[Jessica Keys · Rating 5 out of 5]

Love

I have loved getting to know Red, And the guys.
I feel the last book was rushed so much.
But why have you left the ending like that.
What is going to happen to baby triplets.
I really hope that you do a book or two what they go through. And what Red finds out that Diana is actually Athena.
I have loads of more questions who was Kenya Dad.

[Jacqueline Gaylor · Rating 5 out of 5]

loved this series

I loved this entire series….. not going to lie the first half of this book had me yelling and I had to step away because of what was happening but of course I came back to finish it and I’m glad I did! Although now it looks like I have a new series to go onto which I’m sure won’t disappoint!!!

[Terri West · Rating 4 out of 5]

An enjoyable novella in this series, with plenty of twists and turns along the way. Great to spend more time with Red and the guys whilst spending time in other planes and worlds.
Well written continuation of this series.

[Lynsey · Rating 5 out of 5]

Loved it!

Oh my goodness, I couldn't put this book down, I desperately needed to know what happens & it didn't disappoint!
If you enjoyed the previous books, you need to read this one

[daniel drumm · Rating 4 out of 5]

Awesome series!

I couldn't put my tablet down! The author has a way with words you just want to keep reading! The storyline is not redundant or over the top! Just perfect! Can't wait for the next series.

[Michele Priebe · Rating 5 out of 5]

Babies, Gods & Goddesses, More to come.

The read was faster. Did not answer a Kenya question or delve to get an answer as to who is she. Did not answer the blood oath to witch. Did have babies who will hopefully have their own stories.

[Leslie Marsh · Rating 5 out of 5]

Mother of Wolves

This was 3 of the best books I've read. The last 2 books had a few more grammatical issues but nothing major. I would definitely recommend this series to anyone who enjoys paranormal love stories.

[Pandora · Rating 3 out of 5]

Rating entire series. I liked the characters in this series a lot - the main and the sub. Good stories - but for sure not books you can read on their own. My only issue was book 4 felt like it was an afterthought - could have ended on book 3 and been totally complete. Overall - enjoyed.

[Louise Harrison · Rating 5 out of 5]

A nice end to Red and the guys story

This was a great way to end the main story of Red and her guys and also open up a plot line for a spin off series. I enjoyed the story and the characters and I’m glad they got their HEA in the end

[Bri · Rating 3 out of 5]

I was very in shock the whole way through this book. I thought it would be a rap up to the end of the series but with an ending like THAT! Makes me believe they were going with another book in the series possibly jumping ahead in the future, but wow this book was almost too much.

[Kathy Zuercher Diveley · Rating 5 out of 5]

Red

Red is pregnant with 3 pups, but instead of being able to enjoy her pregnancy, Crimson Hollow is in chaos. The Flurries haves escaped from prison and have messed with everyones memories.

it was so quick and it kind of felt unneeded
