Lupine

Spell Library #3

by Hanleigh Bradley

They say I'm they're princess! Who are they kidding? I'm just Silver Springs Resident Orphan.

Even in Silver Springs, a town full of paranormal abnormalities, Lupine, the town's resident orphan has never felt like she belonged.

Overworked, stressed, hair flying everywhere, Lupine is constantly on the move working with the unique children in the Silver Spring's Orphanage. The Silver Springs human population regularly grumble to her about their parenting challenges.

They have no idea! They should try being responsible for twenty or so paranormal children. The orphanage is pure mayhem. The witches are hiding Lupine's keys, the half-angels keep levitating up to the roof and the shifters are running rogue.

When the mafia come to town, will she finally find her home among the wolves?

Lupine is a paranormal reverse harem romance. It's part of the Silver Springs shared universe.

This story was zany and wacky and oh so much fun to read, I loved it. Lupine trying to round up all those orphans is hilarious. Then the guys appearing and integrating themselves into the household/orphanage just brings the story to wacky and funny lands.

I found coping with not just abandoned children but supernatural children to be hilarious, and Lupine manages to stay strong for her family of orphans and shows them how to be the best of themselves.

How can you not love this book? Lupine (mis)adventures while trying to care for a bunch of supernatural orphans made me laugh. She had a variety of supernatural kids to take care of, all with their own problems. She also had 4 men who come looking for her claiming that she is their mafia princess. She is not getting swayed that easily though, especially when she has a bunch of kids to take care of. But her mates are great with kids, especially with the chameleon shifter baby, and they do all they can to protect her and her kids from the rival mafia family who wants her dead.

I was kindly provided with an ARC by the author, but I'm leaving a voluntary and honest review.

Lupine (Spell Library Book 3) by Hanleigh Bradley is such an awesome story that I have read. This is book number three out of thirteen and I can not wait to read the next book. I highly recommend this story to everyone who loves to read romantic comedy, small town romance and paranormal reverse harem romances.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

This was a great book! My first by this author. I will definitely read more. I thought it was super cute, well written, and creative.

I already fell in love with Lupine in the epilogue of Juniper. She seemed so kindhearted and warm and I loved her snark and how she handled herself. I was therefore very curious to dive into this book and when the ARC arrived yesterday I had to keep myself from reading right away. My eyes however needed some rest, so I read a physical book first, but then I couldn't wait any longer and just got started. And didn't stop before I finished.

Just like all the books in the Silver Springs Library series Lupine is an easy, short and quick read. And writing good short stories really is a talent. I would say that plot-wise it's very clear that this is only the start of the real story and that there's certainly more to come. The plot therefore misses a clear direction and focus. Just like I personally missed some depth in the relationship between Lupine and her guys. I don't get the feeling we get to know the guys very well as individual persons, although they seemed nice enough.

However, that doesn't make the book any less addictive and that's mostly because of two things. Firstly, Lupine is an amazing character, as I had already hoped. She clearly has a huge heart and she always puts the kids she's taking care of first. Although she's insecure about her parenting skills, I see her doing a great job. She listens to the children, respects them and really asks them what they want and need and why they want and need that. Her kindhearted nature is heartwarming and endearing.

And secondly there are the kids. We meet so many amazing kids, all supernatural creatures and all unique and different. We meet species we haven't encountered in the other books yet and we get to see their powers and also their struggles. It doesn't serve the plot, but it's so interesting and well done, mostly because it's so clear that Lupine really wants to be there for them in whatever way, that I would have loved to read an entire book with just different supernatural kids, their struggles and Lupine helping them.

I can't wait for the next book in the series though! We've seen some of Calluna in previous books already and once more we meet her in the epilogue of this one and I'm excited to read her full story!

When it comes to plot or characters, it's probably not one of the best books I have ever read, but I really enjoyed the setting, and the character of Lupine (her guys were more or less a pack of wolves with not many different character traits). But the main thing I loved about this book were the kids, all different species with their own quirks and problems, and that was very enjoyable.

[Nora · Rating 5 out of 5]

Lupine is working in the orphanage and word has it there are new neighbors. Also they appear to be in the mafia. They own a gym. To go or not to go. And the children of the orphanage want to welcome them baking cookies. What is Lupine to do with the hot shifter wolves? Great story and it can be read as stand alone in the spell library series but there are some caracter cross overs.

Love love loved! This is the book I’ve been most looking forward to in this series. So many unanswered questions and hope like hell this becomes a sequel because I need more. The men are all alpha and it has so much adorableness

[Natalie H · Rating 4 out of 5]

Bit of a change compared to the previous two. It’s gone from funny to ridiculous, which makes this one normal. Feels like less focus on the romance and more on the orphanage and Lupine taking care of the kids, which was adorable. I liked the guys but they didn’t feel special and kinda fell into the background. Toward the end it did get a little annoying with Lupine’s decisions. Enjoyable read.

[Michele · Rating 5 out of 5]

I loved Lupine and her supe orphanage kids. Lupine has her hands full and doesn't need anything additional in her life until the mafia wolves move in next door. I liked that the story developed before she was even able to crack open Love Blooms. I can't wait to see what happens with Lucian and if Lupine ever finds the right time. I love that she took over and is trying to be the orphanage "mum" like she had.

[Jackie · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a great read and cant wait to read the others in this series. This book can be read as a stand alone. Lupine is a wolf shifter who runs the orphanage for supernaturals. When the house over the road from where she lives gets sold, Jacqueline a co worker at the orphanage is eager to look at who's moving in. They soon find out and Lupine is not happy that the mafia have moved in. This book has everything that you need for a great story. it's funny and quirky loved it.

[Kari Hansen · Rating 5 out of 5]

There is no one more equipped to run the orphanage for paranormal children than Lupine as she has experience with both. That alone is enough to keep her busy so when she sees her sexy new neighbors it will either be the best thing to happen to her or the worst.

Rehan, Camden, Wren and Kalen are not only shifters, but they have a mafia past as well. They know that Lupine is meant to be their mate and now they just need to convince her. Humor, heat and whole lot of fun.

[Julia Gerard · Rating 5 out of 5]

I really like this story! Not a typical shifter, reverse harem, mafia story. The men never acknowledge they were Mafia, they actually thought it was amusing that Luna believed they were! Their reason for being in town, was purely Luna. The reverse harem element was in place, but only in the background, and they were all shifters, but not a lot of shifting going on. This story was Lupines tale as an orphan.

[Lisa Maher · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is the first book by this author that I have read, and I really enjoyed it. I love Lupine and how she is willing to do everything she can for the orphans in her care. Meeting the guys moving in across the street makes for an interesting story. It has hilarity, sexiness, and an amazing story overall. I cannot wait to see where the next book in this series takes me.

[Dominique · Rating 5 out of 5]

Lupine is yet another awesome story set in the Silver Springs world. It was a fun read about a woman who runs an orphanage of supernatural children. Add in a dose of hot wolves and I'm hooked! I loved Lupine and all her interactions with the kids. It drew me in, made me giggle and swoon, and now it won't let me go. I want more!

[Angela Denny · Rating 5 out of 5]

Fun

I loved Lupines story. The town orphan runs the orphanage where the kids seem to be more in charge than she is. When wolves move in across the street it takes everything in her to resist their sexiness. When they help her find a missing kid she finally decides to give in to the attraction. Lots of sexy men and some steamy parts

[Joy Whiteside · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is an amazing read. Once you start you cannot put it down. It moves along at a great pace. The characters are unique and. Interesting and you want to know more about them. The story will keep you reading no matter what you need to do.

[Marley Smith · Rating 5 out of 5]

I was lucky enough to receive an ARC of this book. The main character is totally believable and made me laugh with her mishaps., cry when she was in trouble. I would rate this a great read and you def need to read this.

[Jens_Book_Cubby · Rating 5 out of 5]

I love this book! It has an amazing story, an awesome and caring FMC, and four sexy guys! Who could ask for anything more? I really hope there will be a second book, because I thoroughly enjoyed this one!

[Gina Burkart · Rating 5 out of 5]

I'm loving this book lupine who helps run the orphanage in silver spring and is having a bit of trouble with some of the children after taking over from Mrs mackney.one of the girls accidentally turns a girl at school in to a pig which I found quite funny and the creepy twins as she calls then seem to know what's going on before she dose.lupine is stressed to bits till one day she meets juniper who gives her the magic romance novel(love blooms) that she thinks nothing about but then every thing after that changes.she meets 4 sexy wolf rehan,camden,wren,and kalen who say she is there princes and runs the fit in a spell gym and are part of the mafia and are very protective over her.at first she doesn't want to give in as she quite strong willed and thinks it would be a bad idea but end up giving up and being there mate and dealing with things she never new about from her past.I enjoyed every minute of it and at one point I was so griped to the story I didn't want to put it down.I was dyeing to get my hands on this as I love the story's so far and was not disappointed and found it really funny too.with loveable character you'll love along with the sexy mafia men.if you want a book that is fast burn and you loved the silver springs series this is the book for you

[Danyelle Williams · Rating 4 out of 5]

Welcome to the family

3.5 rating

What do you do when the mafia moves in next door to your orphanage. Well you sure can't avoid them.

Lupine runes the orphanage in silver springs taking care of all the kids just like she was taken care of. When the local gym owners move in next door they have their eye on lupine. Finding out there are in the 'mafia' doesn't help until more truths are revealed.

It was a cute read I really like lupine and her orphanage. All the different type of shifters she had to deal with. The guys were just ok...I didn't feel like I really got to know any of them. I could have used a bit more personality from them to distinguish them.

I was very much drawn into the mafia family. So I'm looking forward to see what happens with that. Hopefully we will also see Amon with his own book.

This is the first time I have read this author, and I do not think it will be my last. Lupine fit right in with the Spell Library series. I have read the first two books so far and they all have been really good. Some authors you may know and some authors will be new to you, but I would highly recommend that you check out this series. So far it has been really good.

Lupine has a big heart, which I love these types of characters, but something happens. When wolf shifters move in across the street her world is turned upside down. They get to her, she tells herself to stay away. But really could anyone? So find out what happens to Lupine and her sexy shifters. I promise it will be entertaining.

Hmm. I liked the book a lot, it was a really good story with amazing characters. But the end was like.... Is this it. are there pages missing. It was a bit suckish to be honest. I wish it had a better ending. I havent read all the books of this series, since this one looked like a good one, and im new to this author. So not sure if I should check out the rest of the series.

[Agata Jędrzejewska · Rating 5 out of 5]

It was cute story. I so much loved Lupine, she so considerate, loving and giving. Finding her mates was not what she hoped for, but even if it bring complications and her past, it make her happier. She caring as good as she can for all supernatural orphans. You can’t not love it.

[Chelsie · Rating 5 out of 5]

Lupine is such a great book! She runs the local orphanage in Silver Springs and I so enjoyed all the antics of the children in her care! She gets answers to some of her long held questions and finds her happily ever after. ❤️

[K. Rose · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great characters to add into the silver springs world. The wolves, the kids, and the cameos from other characters are perfect! So much fun!

[Rebecca · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book was an awesome read the only thing I didn’t like was that Lupine kept a big secret from the guys it’s not like they’re not going to find out but ....... I want to read what happens when she told them . I hope there’s another book .
