The Curse of the Lycan #6
Dark Wolf: Gustav & Zelin's Story
Being the fiercest guardian ever created: Easy.
Having people fear the mere mention of my name: Done.
Falling in love with my charge: What was I thinking?
I am Zelin Von Reinheit. The Iron Knight. Faster. Stronger. Deadlier. For centuries, my line of guardians has existed for a single mission—protect the Moon Prince. But I failed. I dared to believe I could be something other than a warrior, and it cost me everything.
Now, with Gustav gone, a trail of secrets is unraveled, linking some of the most important Alpha’s in Chicago, exposing unexpected enemies, and dragging humans in the path of our war.
To defeat them, I’ll have to let go of who I used to be, and finally figure out who I truly am.

Wolf Prince is the Second book in the Pureblood Legacy series and it was amazing! I was hooked the minute I started reading and I couldn’t put it down. The book has a great story, is fast paced, full of suspense, sad, funny, and is full of awesome characters. I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves shifters and paranormal Romance books.

Stephany Wallace isn't just a brilliant Author she is an absolute Writing Goddess! U can feel that she truly puts her heart N soul into everything she writes giving life N realism to her Characters!
Zelin's Badass beauty N fierce protectiveness is even more intense this time around as she hunts for Gustav the Wolf Prince that owns her heart!
I love that this story is told from Zelin N Gustav's Pov's it adds so much depth N emotion to everything! Seeing their love for each other grow even stronger was beautiful! Zelin is literally Gustav's Moon N Stars, she is his Guiding Light through times of Darkness!
5 Sizzling Stars N Beyond! I hope we get to see some of the other characters get stories of their own, especially the Dangerously Sexy Iron Knights! hehe 😉

I absolutely love Stephany Wallace! All her books I have read are wonderful – but this one is truly the best one yet.
You are only doing yourself a favor by picking up these books. They are best read beginning with The Curse of the Lycan series. I promise you will not be disappointed.
This book begins as Zelin and the Knights deal with the aftermath of the first book. We get to experience the growth of Zelin and Gustav as they discover who they are meant to be apart from each other. Sometimes, to become who you are means you have to experience a tragic event or separation. Here the reader experiences both via the main characters.
Ms. Wallace does an exemplary job regarding the development of her characters. The storyline is VERY well thought out and the ending is perfection. No disappointments here.
Again – do yourself a favor. Pick up The Curse of the Lycan series and end with The Pureblood Legacy.

Another fun adventure! Entertaining read with likable characters. Although, I was so ticked at Gustav after the cliffhanger from the last book. Gutav ran away when he couldn’t handle his darkness; breaking the bond with Zelin. Zelin is distraught over everything, but is pushing forward to find Gustav. Unfortunately, Gustav is being too emo, so that takes way longer than I’d like. I do love the depth of their connection though; totally sweet! Both Gustav and Zelin find themselves on an interesting path. Love Zelin’s strength; mental and physical, love a cool, kicking butt lady! Lots of heart to this story. This has been a totally fun series, and I’ve enjoyed the whole thing!

I can't even express how much I LOVED this series and especially this book.
There were several times in this book, that I was surprised and said "I didn't see that coming"
I Love how everything wrapped up in the end.... And Gustav and Zelin are my all time favorites....
The knights were all AWESOME in their own ways.... and I just loved how they have all grown into adults....
Logan's journey was a tough one to witness....
Introducing Dariah..... Pure Genius.... Considering we get to learn her own story next.... CAN'T WAIT......

What an amazing second story of the series!
In this book we follow Zelin in her point of view. The character development is absolutely fantastic. I love following Gustav and Zelin and watching their feelings toward each other grow. The development of the story is fantastic! Plenty of action, twists and turns. Zelin is an absolute bad a$$ and Gustav, what a hottie he's become! I love that the setting took place along Lake Michigan and the Windy City! I can't wait to see what else Stephany brings to the series!

Epic series conclusion!
What a way to end a series! I have loved how each book has built upon the next in a way that readers are eased into this world of supernaturals. For readers who are not deep into paranormal or fantasy reads, this series makes that information easy to digest!
Alice is delicious but also very slow burn. There is a healthy, very intriguing plot throughout the series that continues to build as we learn more!
Truly can’t say enough about Stephany’s writing style and how she has wrapped me up into this world! Highly recommend the entire series!

Dark Wolf picks up where Wolf Prince leaves off.. With Gustav missing because his dark side is coming out.. and he is afraid of it. Zelin is beside herself and lost without him.. she loves Gustav.
This book is awesome.. if you love Wolves it has them.. if you want happiness this has that too and if you want it has that all bundled up in one amazing package.
I loved reading Dark Wolf.. and the Author writes super awesome story lines I can't wait for her next book.

Bravo!!! Loved it!
I had a hard time putting the book down! The author loves to keep you hanging at the end of her books (lol) but when she brings them all together it’s spectacular. I loved the characters, Zelin and Gustav are perfect! The knights are funny and fun-loving! A few surprises and a couple of “oh my” spots. Loved it! Great storyline from start to finish. Patiently waiting on what the author comes up with next.

Stephany Wallace has done it again! Gustav and Zelin are like one of the best couples of all time. This story shows that everyone has demons to fight and with love and time, most can be overcome or at least confronted to start to overcome. Gustav learns how to use his powers from an unexpected person. I wish there was more books in this series!

Amazing
Truly amazing, this series has been so fun to read and entertaining. I laughed and cried a ton with this one and enjoyed every minute of it. Gustav and Zelin had so much to overcome in this book that I was truly happy with the ending. Can’t wait for Daryia ‘s series. She is so sassy I love it!

Keeping It Wild
The love we have for wild creatures is their beauty...their wild beauty. Taming them changes that and while we may still love them it's never the same. This series has been poignant and snarky in turns but always beautifully wild. I'm grateful to have experienced/read it.

This was amazing! This book is thrilling from the very first paragraph! The questions I had from the last book played out in epic certainty! I am so impressed with the way this story was woven together. Fast pace, engaging and I could not put this book down! So thrilled with the energy of Gustav and Zelin and how they transform from the very depths of their soul purpose!

Loved it!
I absolutely loved this book. Definitely worth the wait. It definitely ended the way I hoped it would and I am so happy to see more then just one couple get a happy ending.

Beautiful conclusion for Gustav and Z's story. It was a journey of discovery and healing on both parts. Also a step into overcoming obstacles to finally be free of them. Love Gustav and Z. Love the "guys" and their antics. Will sure missed them but so happy they got their HEA ❤
May 30, 2019
Absolutely love this book. Well the series really. Zelin goes through a lot of changes in this book and grows so much as well as Gustav. I won’t go into it too much as I hate spoilers but separately they achieve so much and then together it’s like a whole different level of awesomeness.

“Dark Wolf” book 2 in the Pureblood Legacy series is another amazing roller coaster of emotions by author, Stephany Wallace. Gustav and Zelin’s characters really blossoms in development during the story. They both grow so much in this book and you feel as if you are with them on their journeys to discover themselves. While they are on this journey there are many surprises and unexpected outcomes that occur. Stephany Wallace loves to keep you on your toes throughout the story. I really felt “Dark Wolf” was well written, captivating, and amazing character development. I really hope to read more of these characters.

This book continues Stephany Wallace's werewolf lore so well. Gustav is easily loveable and the world is to die for. I still recommend reading her four Lycan books before you pick this up. I actually like it better because I've read the other four. Cant wait for more!

This was a great read! The changes in Gustav and Zelin as they moved along their journey. It was refreshing to read a story where the main characters battle through their own troubles and respect the journey that needs to be made. Dariah was awesome and would love to read more about her.

Loved the series
Loved the series. If I could rate it higher, I would. My only complaint is the editing. I found myself re-reading a statement several times to figure out what was being said. Please, please, please have someone proofread.

Gustav and Zelin are together
Gustav found his way back to Zelin. Gustav is back and better than ever. Zelin forgives Gustav.
I truly fell in love with these characters because they come alive!
The author makes her characters come alive and makes this reader part of her books.

Great
I loved Gustav and Zelin's story. I laughed and cried and couldn't put the books down. Reading in the car, while I ate breakfast and lunch,but finished just in time for dinner. Definitely two books you can't put down.

Great book! Gustav had to learn who and what he was. I loved Dariah, she was a fun part in this book. Zelin also had to decide who she wanted to be. I enjoyed this book. Sad to see it end.
