Review Quotes:
"A relentless ride through a land sundered by poison and rebellion, Connolly's
The Lure of Wolves and Whispers is as raw, compelling, and as unflinching in the face of horror as its protagonist. The delicious slow-burn romance is the cherry on top of a masterfully-woven debut."

Shalini Abeysekara, author of This Monster of Mine
Review Quotes:
"[A] pulse-pounding romantasy debut . . . Maeve's candid narration amplifies the tale's emotional impact, while subtle, effective worldbuilding adds texture. Political intrigue, high-stakes action, and a steamy love triangle between white-cued characters combine for a twisty, electrifying trilogy launch."

Review Quotes:
"
The Bachelor meets
Throne of Glass in this atmospheric, slow-burn romantasy . . . The story is well-paced and readers will be kept on their toes as the plot shifts between the tasks of the competition, life in the castle, and Maeve's rebellious activities. A promising debut; hand to readers who enjoyed Lauren Roberts's
Powerless and Shelby Mahurin's
Serpent & Dove."
