The sequel we desperately needed!<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The stakes are devastatingly high in Rebecca Torrellas\u2019s Howl at the Wind<\/em>. While things are getting better for our romantic leads, Xayden and Sierra, they are getting worse for others. She-wolves in Sierra\u2019s community have been getting being murdered, and it\u2019s hitting a little too close to home.<\/p>\n

It all feels like too much for Sierra. The she-wolves are being slaughtered for the sake of cruel power, bringing the Rose Moon pack\u2019s authority into questioning, and the countdown to graduation looms over Sierra\u2019s head. She\u2019s nervous about missing out on her high school adventures with Hayden and her friends once she\u2019s done. And of course, Xayden\u2019s parents still have a firm grip on his future with her. On top of all that, Sierra is carrying a big secret, one that could cause an even greater rift between her and Xayden.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Torrellas has grabbed my attention with this book\u2019s complex obstacles. In the previous book, Howl at the Water<\/em>, Sierra\u2019s problem was being a human fitting into the Rose Moon wolf pack. Her love for the full-blooded werewolf Xayden was another issue. Now Torrellas has added layers to the story. Sierra may not be 100%\u2014instead she could be part of an old, magical race that\u2019s a bane to werewolves\u2019 existence.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Placing Elementals in Howl at the Wind <\/em>is a lovely addition to the world. They\u2019re powerful people with a distant, mysterious past, and their presence makes us want to get even more involved in the drama.<\/p>\n

Rebecca Torrellas uses powerful conflicts, fast-paced writing, and always developing characters to make for one gripping story. Sierra has become a more resilient and confident protagonist since the previous book, and Xayden has become more rebellious. It\u2019s great to see what lengths he will go through to be with Sierra. His love for her is stronger than anything else in the world.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Howl at the Wind <\/em>will be an emphatic YES for those who love shifter urban fantasies. Torrellas has done a great job maintaining the same thrilling, adventurous energy as her previous book while adding in these additional intriguing layers. Howl at the Wind<\/em> carries some decent themes surrounding love, loyalty, and insight that young readers will relate to.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Once you dive into the Howl <\/em>series, you\u2019ll refuse to leave. Like others I\u2019m sure, I\u2019m anticipating the surprises Torrellas has in store for us in the future Howl <\/em>books.\u00a0<\/p>\n
