The Wolf vs the Warlock

The Hidden City Supernatural Sleuth, Book 2

De: Lauretta Hignett

Narrado por: Carrie Coello

Nothing ruins your day more than a bloated, stinking corpse on your doorstep.

My natural optimism has taken a serious beating lately. I’ve been working my butt off, drafting a series of outreach programs to help the poor, lost supe kids of the Hidden City before they fall through the cracks in our society and end up in our Otherworld Child Protective system. There’s one thing I desperately need, and that’s funding.

But there’s no money to be had. Nobody wants to invest in these kids; it’s enough to break your heart. The rejection letters are ruining my morning, and that’s before I slipped on the bloated corpse at my front door.

Things take a turn when I’m summoned to a meeting with Mina, the matriarch of the Jupiter coven—my ex-boyfriend's mom. Mina's offering me exactly what I need.

She's got a job for me. One that I'm not sure if I want to do anymore.

The Wolf Vs The Warlock is book two in the Hidden City Supernatural Sleuth, a hot new Urban Fantasy series by bestselling author Lauretta Hignett.

Love this story

I’m surprised that it’s not a lot of ratings… Daphne’s is my kind of female character; humor, strength and a bit of psycho all in one.

5 stars

The Wolf vs The Warlock is a fun and entertaining paranormal mystery. I look forward to the next book.

I want to like it! :(

I can’t with these conniving characters, Daphne’s level of stress, and the abuse she just takes as a part of daily life.

It’s violent, gory, and so much exposition I can hit ffwd in 15sec. increments mid-conversation and still not get through backstory to the second sentence in a conversation. I get this gives characters depth but a sometimes it takes pages to make it 3 lines or to a single decision.

It’s just too much information and is not a fun read for me (like the previous series have been) and not what I was expecting. I may not be able to stick it out and finish this series… 💔

It’s just - I have liked this author a lot so I WANT to see it through… we’ll see.
