Another Stunner!

Another stunner! Eclipsed Empire by Tessa Hale was a seductive and suspenseful wolf shifter romance that ravaged my heart from start to finish. Wren’s haunting and complex past continued to keep me on the edge of my seat, also making me swoon with her connecting deeper and more intimately with her wolf fellas. This is book two in the Wolves of Crescent Creek, so prep your heart for another cliffy ending.

Vanessa Moyen performs this audiobook in dual narration featuring Connor Crais, Shane East, Jason Clarke, J.F. Harding, and Teddy Hamilton. This cast continues to leave me in awe! Vanessa’s expressive voice captured Wren’s fierce, strong, and passionate persona as she grew closer to her mates and faced her haunting past. Shane developed a devoted charismatic tone for Puck while JF gave Locke a quiet confidence that was admirable. Teddy’s loveable tone shed Brix’ guarded exterior, and Connor once again created a powerful dominance as the pack leader for Kingston. Jason’s signature growl portrayed Ender’s fighter persona. The cast turned up the heat with the fated chemistry between Wren and her mates.

Overall, I LOVED this book. If you are a fan of a wolf shifter romance with a fiercely strong wolf caster hybrid with a dangerous past, a protective pack of hunky male wolf shifters who work in security, fated mates, they rescue her, truths about the past, a pussy palace, steamy bonding, bow stick sparring, sensual baths, intimate conversations, shady fathers, marking your mate, a fiery climax, and a cliffhanger ending that will leave you LONGING for more, then you will love Wren and her wolf mate’s story. I can’t wait for more!

Phenomenal performances and a great continuation!

Exactly what I'm looking for in a Tessa Hale book. This one picks up from the cliffhanger ending of Book 1. Its weird to say that I enjoyed Wren's torture, but these scenes are well written and realistic enough. There is no minimizing what happens and I appreciate that. I enjoyed the unique reconnection of each of the interpersonal relationships - during the aftermath of the trauma and memory sharing. The groveling. The mates processing Wren's secret, etc. Reverse harem/multiple fated mate books tend to have archetypes, but this one has Locke, who I think is a very distinct male character, and I fell in love with him even more. JF Harding nails this performance. Vanessa Moyen carries the book with her sound delivery. All of these narrators (Connor Crais, Jason Clarke, Shane East, Teddy Hamilton) are fantastic and bring such heart and personalization to each of the characters. We finally get to meet Bastian Boudreaux. The ending is brutal and, you guessed it, a cliffhanger.

The narrators were fantastic and made the story come to life.

I loved this book! I love the Wolves of Crescent Creek series so much! Probably my favorite series by Tessa Hale!

Mind blowing awesome!!

Omg!! It was absolutely amazing…Wren is now officially my favorite FMC of all time. This series is sooo perfect. Can’t believe I have to wait 2 more months for book 3.

I don’t want to wait for book three!!!!!

I think Brix is my favorite - there! I said it!

And Ender needs to get over himself already. There! I said that too!

I can’t get enough of Tessa Hale’s books. I devour them and then force myself to have to wait until the next book comes out. This time I listened to the audiobook and really enjoyed that but the raspy voice for Ender wasn’t my favorite if I had to be nitpicky. Also… that CLIFFHANGER?!?!?! 😱😱😱😭

Love these books

This series is a great break from the dark and twisted when I need a book cleanse, and they’re my favorite shifter books. The narrating is great, too, a few of my faves all in one.

Incredible!

Eclipsed Empire is the second book/audiobook in The Wolves of Crescent Creek Series. It is a paranormal, shifter, why choose romance with MMA, revenge, danger, surprises, penance, and more.

This was a quick, but awesome read/listen. I simply loved everything about it. I honestly could not get enough and did not want it to end. I loved the intense action scenes as well as the sentimental and emotional ones too. I adored Wren, her mates, and their sizzling chemistry. The the casting for the audiobook was absolutely perfect.

The writing, flow, and pace of the story is terrific, as are the plot, storytelling, and world building. The character and relationship development, and the narration of the audiobook are also incredible. The huge cast of narrators are all top-notch. They brought true life, emotion, and chemistry to the characters and their story.

I would absolutely recommend this book, series, and the audiobooks. I know I will be very excitedly awaiting the next book/audiobook in the series.

Another great hit!!!

Tessa Hale has done it again! I love her other series and have read them multiple times but I absolutely love this series! It has just the right amount of suspense, spice, and romance. Tessa makes you feel all the emotions and Wren is an amazing FMC especially with her MMC. They each complement each other even grumpy cat daddy LOL. In this novel we get to see how the MMCs really feel about Wren and what they will do to keep her safe. Looking forward to seeing how they plan to have her back and how they all will battle their demons together in the next novel.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️…. I want book three now

Loved the character growth & Heartfelt Moments mixed with the perfect amount of spice! The cliffhanger 🤯

Book Three Countdown Begins!!!

The audio cast was great

4.25 Stars 🌟

UGH…..These cliffhangers!

This is the second book in this trilogy that takes off immediately from the end of the last book. Wren has been kidnapped and is being held and tortured by a rival gang (the Death Walkers MC) and her pack doesn't even know she has been taken. She is undergoing AWFUL torture and the whole time this is happening, she doesn't think that her guys even care. Fortunately, that part of the book does not last long and we quickly move forward with this crazy journey with Wren and her pack, the Diablos.

As in the first book, we get to see each of the guys deal with their feelings for Wren. So far, Locke, Puck and Brix seem to be committed while Kingston and Ender are having a harder time. Add to that the fact that Wren's father- the EVIL Bastian Boudreaux - has set his sights on bringing back his wayward daughter to the fold - but NOT out of love. To torture her, breed her and kill her to teach others to NEVER ever cross him again. Sounds like a really great guy, right?

So, I did enjoy this book. As before, I really enjoyed having the narration cast using 5 separate male narrators and one female narrator to bring this story to life. It doesn't hurt that many of those male narrators happen to be some of my favorite narrators. Fun, fun, fun.

We had some progress but as usual, it ended in a place that makes you think, "NO!" but alas, we just have to be patient for the next book.
