Wolf Cursed

Ravenwood Academy: Year Two

By: Lena Mae Hill

Narrated by: Vanessa Moyen

Timberlyn is determined to get answers when she returns for her sophomore year at Ravenwood Academy for the Exceptionally Gifted.

After a brutal attack at the end of her freshman year leaves her questioning her very nature, she sets out to find the truth about Ravenwood and the students who walk the academy’s halls. One thing’s for sure - nothing at Ravenwood is as it seems.

When she arrives on the campus, she learns that she has a new roommate who’s supposedly just like her and a new class that promises answers to her questions. And then, there’s the more personal question of whether or not she can trust Alarick Wolf.

She gets the answer to that question soon enough, but no one else seems eager to share their secrets. That’s never stopped her before, and it’s not stopping her now.

Timberlyn knows there is more to the story than she’s getting. Delilah haunts her dreams, and even though her friends tell her to leave well enough alone, that’s not Timberlyn’s style. Nothing can stop her from finding the truth - about Delilah, about the school, and about herself.

Nothing can stop her, that is, except the truth itself.

A love story and a paranormal mystery

Year One was a big mystery with a hint of romance. Year Two is a a love story with a bit of mystery. Timberlyn and Alerick spend quite a bit of time exploring what is between them. There are a lot of relationship shifts in this book. And other shifts too. The huge cliff hanger at the end of Year One - oh yeah, that gets addressed to and only leads to more questions.

The second half of this book delves into those questions and just when you think you are figuring out what is is going on throws you for another loop. The danger and intensity really ramps up by the end. I thought I knew what was coming and did get some of it right, but there were a few things I did not see coming at all.

Whenever the characters ages are mentioned it is jarring to me. Timberlyn is supposed to be 15 in this book. They behave more like college aged students than high school students.

This is book 2 in the Ravenwood Academy series and does end with a cliffhanger. This is a series that needs to be read in order as the books build on each other. Fast, exciting reads.

Overall, I thought the narration was well done. Lost of emotion, clear dictation. There were a few spots where the volume was uneven. The Vanessa Moyen has a tendency to whisper, especially male voices, and sometimes her voice droped so low that I was unable to make out what she was saying. Most of the time she was clear and easy to understand. This is an honest and voluntary review of an ARC

seeking answers may lead to way more questions then intended to unbury. Looking forward to seeing what happens next.

Ravenwood Academy!

Wolf Cursed (Ravenwood Academy: Year Two) is just as riveting as book one. Oddles of suspense and romance swirling through the pages. Well detailed world building descriptions and settings. The writing style is vivid and intriguing. Absolutely loved it. Looking forward to listening to the next audio in this series when available.

Narrator Vanessa Moyen is the perfect choice to narrate this series. In my opinion her inflection fits the characters perfectly Her tone is age appropriate and distinctive between characters. I loved her performance and cant wait for more.

Wolf Cursed - A++++

Contains slight spoiler.

Loved loved loved this book!! I can’t believe the turn of events. Insane!! That’s the only way to describe it. I need book 3 right now! I’m so nervous to see what Alaric is going to say if what happens in the end of this book comes to fruition and also to see what’s going to happen. Is she going to become a trifecta of human (Fae?)/wolf/vampire? Ahh!! I need to know.

Action Packed

This book year 2 leaves the reader wanting more right out of the starting gatas it picks up right where the last book left off. The characters were very well written, some strong personalities emerge this year. Great story and very detailed that inclufe several twists and turns and an exciting mysterious cliff hanger ending. I loved the narrator, she was really good with the different voices male or female. I'm very much looking forward to reading/listening to the next book in the series Year 3 at Raven wood Academy... 👍🙏💗💯
