Book Review: Thrown to the Wolves by Veronica Blade

With the subtitle, “The Legend of Hannah & Eli”, “Thrown to the Wolves” brings fans of the “Shapes of Autumn” series back in Medieval Europe where Hannah and Eli, legendary lovers of the wolvenkind’s story began.

Not necessarily a prequel, “Thrown to the Wolves” is a standalone book and can easily be its own storyline. But, chances are author Veronica Blade gave the background story of Hannah and Eli because they will play a pivotal role later in the series.

Having read “My Wolf’s Bane ” and of course this prequel, the “Shapes of Autumn” series is looking good. Veronica Blade knows how to keep her audience enthralled, this reviewer included.

“Thrown to the Wolves ” is Rated T for teens; there are no sex scenes in the book though it was implied.

DESCRIPTION A young werewolf must fight for her life to gain freedom, but her triumph could mean losing her only chance at happiness.

Hannah, a seventeen-year-old werewolf, would rather be a peasant and free than dripping in jewels and wife to the tyrant werewolf king. Running from him will get her hunted, and most likely killed, yet she formulates a plan.

While sneaking around the castle, she encounters Eli, a handsome blond shape-shifter and slave to the king. Drawn to Eli as a fellow captive, she admires his courage and honor — qualities rarely seen amongst her own kind. With him, Hannah finds rare moments of joy in the place she’s desperate to escape. Though she dreams of being with Eli forever, she knows he will never abandon his sister, another prisoner of the evil king.

Meeting in secret, Eli and Hannah’s bond deepens as he trains her to protect herself. When she discovers the king’s scheme to murder her after their wedding, Hannah must choose between a short life and brief happiness with Eli or freedom and a future without him.
