About this listen

A Court of Thorns and Roses meets Game of Thrones in the first book in a sensational new romantasy series where a headstrong princess is kidnapped by the alpha of a werewolf clan, leading to all-out war, and forbidden romance...

When a princess is kidnapped by an alpha, war rages between the humans and the wolves. But soon, forbidden attraction starts to grow…

Princess Aurora longs to escape the castle and the marriage that has been arranged for her.

But on the night before her wedding, at a dog fight where captured werewolves are made to fight for sport, she spares the life of a young wolf. It puts her on the radar of the powerful alpha who was going to kill him. And it changes everything.

That night, when the alpha escapes, he kidnaps her and takes her to the rugged lands north of the border—where the once warring werewolf clans are beginning to unite. He thinks that she is the key to winning the war against the humans.

Liked the male narration and storey line, it was well done & smooth. The female narration was very high pitched & loud by comparison. Overall still a good listen.

I absolutely adore this series! The audibook is amazing and I couldn’t stop listening once I started! Truly refreshing there is alot of “wolf” books that are really doing the bare minimum but this book has it all, only thing I would change is that Blake gets is own narrator ❤️

Best book of 2025!

Devoured.
Such an easy listen, not too much world building which is perfect for me.

This dual narration was so good. Even the male voices done by the female narrator were great:

This book was everything I wanted and more! I went in with no expectations but best believe it was sooo good!!! It is kind of like highlanders (withOUT the triggers) meets ACOTAR. It has intrigue, a little bit of magic, shifters and it is cleverly written. The characters are amazing and so is the story. I hope this goes virtual on booktok and everyone loves it as much as I did!

INCREDIBLE!!!

As I was reading this and perhaps it was the Scottish accent of the MMC I couldn’t help but imagine this book to be very Jamie Fraser / Outlander coded which if you are a fan of which I happen to be I enjoyed. If Jamie could also turn into a wolf that is. And yes there is also a hint of ACOTAR. The story was well paced and I liked that there is an air of mystery around the love interests / love hate etc etc. As there isn’t an audible version of book 2 I am hooked enough to begin reading the second book on KU. This book felt refreshing in regards to some of the repetitive romantasy series I had been reading yet is also familiar thanks to the hint of Outlander. It was worth getting lost in for a while.

Outlander meets Acotar vibes

Love the narrators, could listen to Callum’s voice all day. There’s something about a Scottish accent.

Enjoyable read

Hold up! Did one of these wolves jump out the book and bite me because I’m feeling all sorts of ways after that.

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.75
Spice: 🌶️🌶️.5
Audio: 🎧🎧🎧🎧🎧 (while I love the audio it was also a little odd. It’s duet narration however the female voices everyone except the main male character)

This was a super fast pace book (devoured within 24hrs). Princess Rory is kidnapped by a broody wolf and taken as prisoner. Who would’ve thought a man in a kilt cause be so damn hot 🥵 the tension in here was just perfect. Diving straight into book 2 🙌

Fun & tension filled read

This book was a breath of fresh air! Was in a slump with same storyline, cliche and cheesy lines. Really enjoyed this one! Narrator's were great too - accents are 🔥
The FMC is begins naive to the world but her character development throughout the book was so good! MMC is just what the Dr ordered, and side characters also brilliant.
A good few twists and turns, can't wait to start book 2.

A refreshing shifter romance
