Crescent Kingdom

The Wolves of Crescent Creek, Book 1

De: Tessa Hale

Narrado por: Vanessa Moyen, Connor Crais, Jason Clarke, JF Harding, Shane East, Teddy Hamilton

Never stop running. And no matter what, never let the world know who you really are.

I’ve spent my whole life hiding. Training. Preparing. Hoping that no one will discover my secrets. What I can do. Who I am. And I’ve gotten so good at it, sometimes even I forget.

Until them.

The wolf pack with a ruthless reputation and a penchant for revenge. The protective fighter. The charming Brit. The shy hacker. The silent mercenary. The cruel assassin.

They see more than anyone ever has before. And even with demons of their own, they give me sanctuary. A place to hide, to rest, and maybe even a place to belong.

Only it turns into so much more. Because when they touch me, everything around me ignites, and nothing matters but them.

But these wolves have secrets. And those secrets bring enemies. And when they find out who I really am?

It’s not their enemies I need to fear. It’s them.

This Wolf Shifter Romance was just what I needed!

“Not only is she violent, she’s vicious, too. I think I’m in love.”

Baby, I’m howling for you! Hold onto to your clothes ladies - these wolf shifters will have you hot and bothered! I for one am on way to Crescent Creek to try and be part of the pack! This audiobook was absolutely delicious and addictive right from the start, I was immediately invested in Wren’s story of being on the run and how she had managed to stay hidden in the supernatural community. That is until fate had brought her to Crescent Creek and she met the wolves who call it home.

“She might not be our fated mate, but maybe, somehow, she was still destined to be ours.”

Wren’s wolf half had longed to the part of a pack, but she was reluctant to trust anyone and let her guard down after what she experienced within her dad’s corrupt pack dynamics. But Kingston, Puck, Ender, Brix and Locke were not what she was used to and they could sense that she was something special to them, even if she had been masking her scent. She wasn’t weak after all she had survived and I loved her strength and her take no bull attitude with all of them. I can’t wait to see where the next book goes after that cliffhanger! The narrators really brought each character to life and portrayed their demeanors to perfection. I am already taken with a few of them, you know I love a broody and reclusive hero! Men like these are definitely a reason to love why choose, you don’t have to worry about some triangle where you don’t get one of them.

Why choose, wolf shifters, audio is perfection!

Crescent Kingdom is the first book in the Wolves of Crescent Creek series and I loved it so much! This author is a favorite for why choose, paranormal romances with fated mates and protective hero vibes. Tropes: wolf shifters, why choose, heroine in hiding, hidden identity, fated mates, touch her and die vibes, and I was so obsessed!

I’ve been anticipating this book since Wren first showed up in the previous series from this author and this start to the series did not disappoint! We see Wren’s backstory in the prologue and then cut to years later when she’s living in Crescent Creek, Colorado. She’s such a strong character who has gotten used to taking care of herself over the years. Wren is a hybrid (half wolf, half caster) and has kept her identity under wraps for years. Her life gets shaken up when one day she’s sparring at the gym and meets Kingston, the gym owner who she immediately recognizes as an alpha wolf shifter and has her wanting to flee! Kingston also owns a security company with the other heroes and soon Wren finds herself falling into their lives.

I am so obsessed with the start to this series and already love all of the characters so much! Each of the heroes gives different energy and feels so unique. Kingston the alpha, gym owner who calls her “Little Warrior”. Locke the tech enthusiast, glasses-wearing hacker of the group. Puck is British and owns the bar she lives above. Ender is the assassin and cat dad of the group (his rescue kitten is so precious). And Brix, the mercenary of the group! I have loved seeing each of their interactions with Wren and how they connect together as well. I’m just so excited to see how the overall story continues, cause that ending! 🤯

The audiobook is fantastic, highly recommend grabbing the audios for this author’s books because they always are amazing! This one has a full cast narrating the characters and was oh so good: Vanessa Moyen, Connor Crais, Jason Clarke, JF Harding, Teddy Hamilton, and Shane East!

Entertaining with Excellent Narration!

Crescent Kingdom is the first book and audiobook in The Wolves of Crescent Creek Series. It is a paranormal, wolf shifter, why choose, small town romance with a strong FMC, morally grey heroes, action, intrigue, mystery, and more.

The narrators for this audiobook were amazingly chosen and include some of my absolute favorites. Vanessa Moyen, Connor Crais, Jason Clarke, JF Harding, Shane East, and Teddy Hamilton do such a terrific job bringing the dynamic characters and their exciting and entertaining story to life.

Wren is a bada$$ FMC who hides the truth of who and what she is and trusts no one but herself. She is also on the run from the absolute horrors of her past.

Kingston, Puck, Ender, Locke, and Brix are brothers, and pack, by choice. Kingston is the leader and a true caretaker. Puck is a Brit with golden retriever vibes. Locke is the computer wiz and a real sweetheart. Then we have the psycho twins, Brix and Ender, who are the most morally questionable of the pack and are suspicious of everyone not pack. All of these characters have some major personal demons.

This was such an amazing start to this new series. I love the intriguing characters and their unputdownable story. I loved how the relationships and plot progressed as well.

The writing, pace, plot, and flow of the story are incredible as are the storytelling, storyline, characters, character development, relationship development, world building, and the narration of the audiobook.

This was a spectacular read and listen that I would highly recommend. I am very excited to see and hear what the next book brings.

Loved Discovering the Characters

Tessa Hale does it again. This was a wonderful introduction to Wren and her men. The twists and turns kept me guessing about what problems they faced. I couldn’t put it down. I can’t wait for the next book in this trilogy.

I absolutely DEVOURED this audio!

Did I binge listen to the audio for this book this morning?! YEP!!

I have this week off for Spring Break and I’m making it a goal to mood read to my heart’s content and if that means not listening at all, then so be it.

But along came this audiobook and I knew I’d have to listen ASAP—there’s just something so wildly addicting about Tessa Hale books! And Crescent Kingdom is no exception. ✨💜🐺🌙

Wren is on the run from a dark past when she finds herself in Crescent Creek, Colorado. In the few weeks since she has arrived she has carved out a somewhat safe existence for herself—until some locals return to town after a mission.

It’s clear to Wren that Kingston, Puck, Locke, Brix, and Ender are wolf shifters—all with their own dark pasts/histories. But it’s easier to keep everyone at a distance just in case she needs to run again.

And when dark mages suddenly attack one night no one can be sure of their motives—not with so many secrets swirling around.

I love that all of the characters have such distinct personalities (and their own narrator on the audio!) and POVs. This author excels at differentiating between the many MMCs in her why choose novels.

I was also a huge fan of how Wren was able to establish a genuine connection with each pack member. This book definitely focused on solidifying pack bonds and setting the tone on backstories! Yes, there’s some spice! But it served to enhance the growing intimacy of the connections the FMC feels for her MMCs.

As with all of her books, this one ends on a cliffhanger—and it definitely leaves you desperate for more! I can’t wait to read what happens next!

Almost perfect

Excellent story—but with all these amazing narrators, feels like they REALLY missed the mark by not going with the full cast duet narration 🥺

Ugh!

I totally didn't see that ending! Another amazing book by Tessa Hale. I'll be counting the days until the next one releases.

Tessa Hale did not disappoint

as always there was good character development. you understood the pack dynamic well. I love that her characters are always so real because they're broken in so many ways. They are also whole in other ways. It ends on quite the cliff hanger. I can't wait for the next book in the series!
