It was all going so well…
But I might have guessed a dark side sequel was on the horizon.
No sooner had this Menopausal Madam nabbed her Mangy Wolf, and the jumbled pack of wolves, bears, snakes and an eagle howled their way to a Happy Ever After, than up pops the Messenger of the Alpha of Alphas, announcing the imminent arrival of the stinky Southern Pack.
A shed load of furry trouble descends, chief of whom being Curt’s Auntie Yelena, known as Yellfire to her enemies.
I’m one of them, apparently.
Before you can say ruffle my fur, we’re paw deep in backstabbing, arson, poison and attempted murder.
Everyone’s heart is in danger, especially mine.
Don’t turn your back. Don’t turn tail.
Helen’s thoughts: 5/5
I enjoyed A Wolf so Grim and Mangy so much, I hotfooted off to get the second book, A Song of Mange and Poison, which just released.
Another wonderful tale, with many astute observations on how life continues after the fairytale ending. I love Noe’s pithy view on life!
Edi is living her happy ever after with her mangy wolf, but sheer bliss doesn’t last for long, as the relatives from down south come to visit. Things go from bad to worse in an extraordinarily short time, and the happily mixed pack of wolves, bears, snakes, an eagle and one human is struggling to remain intact.
The pups, cubs and snakelets are so sweet and always causing trouble. You can see why Edi loves them all.
Once again, briliantly written. Love the cover design. We delve a little deeper into some of our favourite characters, meet some new terrors and, of course, laugh our way through this wonderful book. Great entertainment, read it in one sitting and chuckled away to myself. Do yourself a favour and go start this series. Now we have to wait for book 3!
