A review of Phantom Wolf by Kia Carrington-Russell

REVIEWED BY Becky Cox


Phantom Wolf by Kia Carrington-Russell
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Sia is a Phantom Wolf. Once a Phantom Wolf has been created, they hunt their blood pack and slaughter all their loved ones. Except for Sia, who woke years after her death to find herself rampaging through the land on a lonely path.

Sia was murdered by the human boy she loved and awakened as a Phantom Wolf. She feels deep guilt for not listening to her father and his warnings of humans and heartbreak from the love she had for the human boy Thomas. The supernatural characters given to us by this author are new to me. They are, from my interpretation, half wolf and half human. Sia is a Phantom Wolf which is half dead/half alive version and has some supernatural powers. Her emotional journey through her anger at being murdered by someone she loved and humiliation at being a Phantom Wolf to learning to love again and reestablishing a childhood friendship is a roller coaster. You really feel for her turmoil. She feels compelled to protect Keeley from real and perceived dangers. Sia doesn't believe that she is allowed to love again or feel happiness again. Between Keeley, Kiba and young Trim she learns she is still capable of both. The interactions between Kiba and Sia are humorous and will give you a chuckle or two.

The patience Sia's childhood friend Keeley and Alpha Kiba have with her is heartwarming.
I felt a connection with several of the supporting characters.

A good debut novel for a young author that has great potential.
