The moon has risen, and with it, another Enchanted Fates adventure from Sabrina Blackburry!

I had mixed emotions anticipating this one, like the others it continues in the same world as the prior two books, and there are plenty of familiar characters. But unlike the others, the main characters from Dirty Lying Wolves were originally antagonists in Dirty Lying Dragons. Starting with a bias is definitely new.

Any apprehension I had quickly disappeared as my heart returned to familiar ground. Dirty Lying Wolves picks up right where Dirty Lying Dragons left off. The story is undeniably enchanting, the characters are so much fun, especially Smokey. Don't let the other characters or storyline fool you, Smokey IS the main character.

Speaking of, but not including Smokey thankfully, Dirty Lying Wolves definitely lives up to the spice from Dirty Lying Dragons. It's a slow burn, but once it takes off, well... there's no need to get pants involved.

Dirty Lying Wolves is a perfect fantasy pallet cleanser read, it has everything you want, and mostly plays nice with you. The story is engaging, the characters grow on you quickly, it's spicy, balanced, and it's written by an absolute gem of a human being. Why WOULDN'T you want to read it?

That was rhetorical. You NEED to read it.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thank you, Sabrina, Netgalley and W by Wattpad Books for this ARC!

I’m thrilled that I picked up this book and finished it in just two days! Sabrina’s writing really grabs you. I love anything to do with fantasy, especially when it involves mates, which makes me swoon. The story follows a group of rogues as they journey back to their old pack with big plans. Along the way, a human gets involved in their plans. The friendship and loyalty portrayed in this book are some of my favourite aspects, with each chapter strengthening the relationships between the characters. The mix of fear and joy while rooting for your favourite character is the perfect way to end a book with a happy ending. I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys werewolves, romance, or stories about found family!

I love Sabrina Blackburry's world building and writing style. You can read this book as a standalone or read the previous books. I loved reading this and I just happened to have read the previous books, and I can say this was an amazing book to continue the world she has built. The characters have a great dynamic and make the book.

Dirty Lying Wolves is a stand alone novel set in a magical world of fairies, dragons, werewolves, and warlocks. I love how this is a stand alone, but characters from Sabrina’s previous books are included. This story follows June as she accidentally turns into a werewolf and finds her fated mate. I love the action and mystery of this book. And what an interesting take on werewolves as a separate personality! The writing, story telling and spice is even better than the first book I read based in this world. Overall great read! Thank you to NetGalley, Wattpad and Sabrina Blackburry for the e-ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This one was a did not finish for me. I have read the first two but I just can’t get into this one. These are light and fun reads, it’s probably me so I’ll set this aside and try again another time.

I was so excited to read this third book since I loved the first two so much. I dived in, and I realized I couldn’t really remember much about the first two books. This one started not too much from the end of the second. I am not a huge fan of werewolves, and I think that affected my enjoyment a little bit. Not only that, but I also wasn’t sure I really liked Dom in the beginning. However, after they arrived at their destination, I find myself liking him much more. While this wasn’t my favorite of the series, I still enjoyed it quite a bit. Well-written, engaging, and interesting, a fitting addition to the series. Recommend. I was provided a complimentary copy which I voluntarily reviewed.

Unfortunately, "Dirty Lying Wolves" was just not it for me. While I was genuinely excited to read about this werewolf paranormal romance, I had troubles getting into the book and ended up DNF'ing it.

As a fan of werewolf/alpha romances I was really excited to read this (especially since I've read plenty of fantastically written werewolf paranormal romances on Wattpad). However, I had troubles getting into this due to the writing: some parts were awkward, the dialogue became confusing, and the mass character introduction at the beginning was overwhelming.

This book is the third book in a series and does allude to scenes from the previous novels, but it can be read as a standalone. I haven't read the first two so I'm unsure if writing style is the same as this or if it would have helped ease me into the situation/characters being introduced. Regardless, this book wasn't for me, but readers who were fans of the first two installments might enjoy it.

I had the pleasure of reading this story prior to release date, thanks to Netgalley.

This book starts out with a bang, June (our MC) gets her life turned upside down by trying to help someone…turns out that someone was a werewolf and currently under a nasty spell. However, that one little bite sends June on a journey of her life. Turns out werewolves are real and she is going to become one. With no choice but to leave with these people, these strangers, June is told she has to have her first change on the full moon but out of safety for everyone it needs to be on pack territory. So, off they go and all while getting a crash course in all these werewolf during this roadtrip to Canada.

Arriving at her new pack, June might be new with all these but she can tell something isn’t right about her new pack. Not to mention, why are her travel companions forced to stay on the edge of the property? So many questions and not as many answers.

Oh did I not mention, the sexier than chocolate Dom, who is acting at Alpha of this rag tag team of “rouges” and the odd chemistry they have been them…

This is a standalone book but the characters are interwoven and you may have more enjoyment reading them in order.

This was a cute premise and had zippy pacing, but the writing felt very clunky in a way that made it not as enjoyable as I had hoped. I will probably skip other installments in this series.

Loved these wolves! Wen June is accidentally bitten by a rough wolf who she was trying to help, she is taken on a shall we say run she will never forget. Starts a bit slow but picked up fast!

June’s life gets turned upside down after trying to help a stranger who turns out to be a werewolf who bites her. Now she has to leave behind the life she had before the her change will start with the next full moon. The hierarchy and wolf life gets explained well throughout the book so you learn along with June. As soon as June meets her new pack she knows something isn’t right and she and her new mate are determined to help make things right with the help of their close friends. Between the action it never seems slow because you are getting to know the characters and the world they inhabit. This is the third book in a four book series and although they are standalone books you will want to read them all in order because there are connected characters between them and if you’re like me then you love getting reunited with some of your favorite past characters. I am looking forward to the last book and plan on reading the first three as a refresher again because I like them that much.

Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for allowing me to read a copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.

Dirty Lying Wolves is the third book in the Enchanted Fates series but each can be read as a standalone book. Sometimes you just need a paranormal shifter book to read and this was a good one for sure. June is accidentally bitten by an alpha wolf and thrust into a world that she only thought existed in movies. While she figures out what life as a wolf might be like she starts to fall for Dom and the strangeness of her possibly new pack. I enjoyed this read as the plot kept the pace going and there were some good twists as well. I will be back reading the other two novels and look forward to seeing what Blackburry comes up with next.

Firstly, thank you to @netgalley and @wattpadbooks for a free copy of this book in exchange for my honest thoughts.

This is book three in a series of interconnected stand alones and despite not having read the first two, I had no problem following along and enjoying the story!

I really enjoyed the fish out of water vibes as our FMC is thrust from her plain Jane life into one filled with magic, creatures and a looming threat that risks everything.

The writing style and overall plot was very well written. I think the author balanced action moments with those that were quieter and more descriptive. The flow was that perfect blend of being medium paced, slow enough that you were able to connect with the characters but fast enough that you weren’t bored.

I thought that the side characters were just as well rounded as our main couple, providing a depth to the story that some miss out on. The dynamics between the friends were thorough and it gave us this sense of found family, considering the circumstances.

The plot twist was unexpected and I was pleasantly surprised with how the story played out. The signs were there but I was so engrossed with the story that I wasn’t worried about finding them!

A great book in what seems to be a good series!

This was a great read! This books was very well written and the flow was perfect. There was no flat spots. I loved the dynamics of all the characters. I loved Smokey the best though.

Even though I didn’t read the first two books in this series, I was able to jump right in to this one. The dynamics in the friend groups were wonderful. The romance was a slow burn and paid off really well. I also liked that the MC was strong and didn’t rely on anyone to save her.. great world building.
