Tabor, a rebellious outcast, is the hollow's only wizard shifter. Constantly overlooked despite his strengths, Tabor believes Sasha is as shortsighted as the rest of the pack until she proves there's more to her than a blindly obedient lapdog. Unable to resist the proud and sensual pureblood, Tabor would risk everything to claim her. Despite her vanishing bloodline, Sasha can't resist the charismatic half-breed, even as the elders set her up to breed with another pureblood. Predators are closing in, threatening the strength and stability of their pack, and there are shifters within Wolf Hollow willing to do anything to prevent the pair from mating. Review: 4/5 stars
Wolf Hollow by Nikki Jefford has a very interesting and
original premise. A dystopian world where wolves live away from what’s left of
society, and where they seemingly fight for survival against those humans,
wizards, and other predators like the vulhenas.
I have to say that I was hooked from the first page. This is
a fresh new take on the werewolves, and it had the promise of something more
since it’s set in a dystopian world.
The world building for this particular story was very good,
though I needed more explanation about the outside world, far away from the
pack. I’m really hoping that we get to find out why the world is the way it is,
and when the pack left society and joined the wild. Presumably at some point
they must have lived among humans as it seems that they enjoy a few modern
cons, since they don’t make their own clothes, and seemed to go on runs to get
supplies from the abandoned houses.
As far as developing the story and characters, I loved the
way Miss Jefford stuck to her rules and regulations and even though the story
developed, a lot of this things were unchanged up to a point.
Pros:
Amazing new take on the wolves and their pack
Dystopian world mixed with the right dash of
paranormal
Strong female lead
Cons:
The romance between the two leads was a bit too
quick and insta (for my liking.)
Lack of info about the state of the world and
how it got there. I hope this is broached in the next books.
Lack of info about the pack’s origins and where
they came from.
A bit of advice:
If you read this book on your phone, tablet etc, you run the
risk of wanting to chuck that piece of technology at the wall a few times, due
to certain characters that you’ll love to hate. 😊
In all, a very good read, can’t wait to read the second
book in the series.
