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.

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.

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!

Well folks, she’s done it again! It was so good, I read/listened to it twice in less than 10 days!! Tessa creates the most addicting, entertaining, binge worthy series’. You may or may not have regrets with binging it so fast, especially with her epic cliffhangers. This is book two of the Wolves of Crescent Creek & it picks up right after that cliffhanger from book one. 🫣 Wren is our baddie FMC & is a hybrid wolf shifter & mage, in hiding from her tyrant father. She is currently in the small town of Crescent Creek, when she encounters a pack of 5 alpha mercenaries, as they infiltrate her life one by one, and she feels an instant pull towards them. All of the MCs have dark pasts & demons, someone that connects them all. They definitely need to GROVEL after book one. So, from heads to bracelets, these wolves show their care and regret in their own way. Although we make some headway in the pack, Tessa’s not done testing them yet. && now we can all hang on yet another cliff, only for Tessa to save us all with book 3, Rising Reign (hopefully).

Thank you Tessa Hale for the ARC & ALC! I can’t wait for the finale of the series!!

Wolves of Crescent Creek -- book 2 of 3

Hate cliffhangers? Yes. Love these wolf-shifter, why choose, action-packed cliffhangers? Also, yes! I must say that I REALLY ENJOY these books for the action/ suspense & humor, not just the spice or heartfelt moments. I love the fight sequences, Wren's training, fight night, the drama, & yes, the cliffhangers! And, I really enjoy the humorous bits such as -- Wren calling Puck "buddy" (he doesn't want to be in the friend zone!); references to "Cat Daddy" Ender & his cat named Princess; Ender gets his nose broken (again!); Mean Girls get swirlies(!); & fun times w/ "morning wood" when 4 male wolf-shifters wake up practically spooning each other because they wanted to sleep near/be close to their mate, Wren.

I love the writing (Tessa Hale) and narration for these audios with top-tier talents Vanessa Moyen, Connor Crais, Jason Clarke, JF Harding, Teddy Hamilton, and Shane East. It's in dual, so they all narrate multiple characters during each of their chapters. It takes a bit to get used to it, but it's still really well done, as they are all excellent actors. Can't wait for book 3 -- the finale!

Great!

Good continuation of the story from Crescent Kingdom. Narration was also good with a great cast

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.

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?!?!?! 😱😱😱😭

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.
