Crescent Kingdom

The Wolves of Crescent Creek, Book 1

By: Tessa Hale

Narrated by: 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.

Always so good!

Ohh Tessa Tessa, what have you done!… let the waiting game begin. Because this book may be my favorite. Team Wolf

Completely amazing

Omg! It was amazing, the storyline is so well done and entertaining, the performance was sublime and the voices on the dot. Huge cliffhanger I can’t wait.

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.

Good story w/ good narration.

So far I’m enjoying this enough to stick w/ it.

One can’t fault the story for holding tightly to the trope - but it does do this and there isn’t anything novel or truly unpredictable here. It’s just enough entertainment for the moment, but not something I’ll revisit for a second listen.

SO GOOD

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.

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 🥺

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!
