Cry Wolf by Charlie Adhara

Such a thrilling and wholesome completion of this suspenseful, witty and addictive series with a new take on werewolves. Truly loved it! 

The Big Bad Wolf series has such a different take of shifter romances, it’s very refreshing and intriguing. It’s almost difficult to put this book in a genre. It’s partly urban fantasy, partly contemporary mystery and partly a swooning mm romance story. I really enjoyed the way the werewolves were part of the society, but also had their own fascinating culture. The world building was so rich with all werewolf folklore and intricate pack systems. Charlie Adhara also managed to show the struggle to hide in plain sight and the fear for and consequences of discovery so well and make it relatable.

I also really enjoyed the different mystery plots in all books. In this last one, the mystery was such a complex and thrilling one involving the WIP and rebels, Eli being hunted by his past, new surprising family revelations and Cooper’s former partner and lover meddling with his life again. There’s also a huge twist on the alpha myth and on Cooper’s involvement in the werewolf society that was so intriguing and unexpected, definitely ending this series on a high note on the mystery aspect as well!

But the things I love most about this series are the characters and the swooning romance. Park and Cooper have my heart forever! They are both such complex and special characters, and the character and relationship growth they go through, especially Cooper, is beautiful. The love progression is so well done and the chemistry between Park and Cooper is just perfect. I love Cooper’s sarcastic humor and the witty banter between him and Park.

All in all, the Big Bad Wolf series is a highly recommended unique series, full of action, family drama, werewolves and a smoking hot romance, that I’m already planning to reread soon. (But might there be a spin-off of this series in the making though? There’s certainly an opening for it…)
