My This Dark Wolf Book Review - No Spoilers
Plot Summary
This Dark Wolf by Everly Frost kicks off the Soul Bitten Shifter series with a gritty and emotional paranormal romance. Tessa, a rare wolf shifter born with a human soul, lives as an outcast in a supernatural safe house for women who have nowhere else to go. Her existence is a daily test of strength, surrounded by danger and betrayal from her past pack. When the ruthless alpha, Tristan Masters, fights for her place in his pack, Tessa’s life changes dramatically—she is faced with new threats, tangled loyalties, and a magnetic but complicated connection with Tristan. As she learns to harness her unusual powers and navigate the politics of shifter society, Tessa’s journey is one of self-discovery, resilience, and the search for belonging. The romance is slow-burn but intense, with dark secrets and shocking twists that keep the stakes high and the pages turning.
Why I Love This Book
I love This Dark Wolf for its vivid, immersive worldbuilding and the depth of its characters.

The story is rich in urban fantasy atmosphere, with plenty of suspense, action, and emotional stakes. Its exploration of trauma, healing, and the struggle for self-acceptance is truly powerful. The romance is steamy but never overshadows the protagonists’ journeys, and the ending will leave you breathless for the next installment.
