Thank You https://www.netgalley.com/ and Sophie Davis for the ARC!

Sophie Davis is a very new author to me and she really nailed it with her work. I just can't wait to read her other books.

It was a randomly requested book with lot of uncertainity, but as soon as I began reading, the book had me hooked from the very first page.

The Lost Pack is a perfect urban fantasy with lots of actions and adventures.

What I Liked

Hello??? BETA WILLLIAMS??? He is everything in this book!
Sure, Drake our FMC is a strong headed character, but I wouldn't take someone else for Penn any other way.
And, our show stealer, Evera freaking Williams, she had me cracked up so many times, and i really adored her character. Her friendship with Drake was so wholesome.
My Alpha

Though the world building was a bit slow, but it was worth it with all the 'dreamy' riddles.


Overall, an amazing 5 star read, definitely one of my favorite of 2024.

What I liked:
Omg this book was truly amazing! From the angst to the plot, all of it was chefs kiss! The relationship was stunning, I LOVED Penn. He’s so broody but clearly cares deeply about our fmc, Drake. I didn’t find this book predictable, it was unique and interesting in a way I’ve been craving.

Drake was a great fmc! She was so strong and badass that I immediately fell in love with her. I appreciated her resilience and restraint throughout the book and found myself disappointed when I finished.

The plot is perfectly paced, I never felt bored reading or like things were being rushed. I found the reveals surprising and interesting. The dreams were a confusing at first but make sense in the end, something I love in a book.

I know this sounds weird but I also liked how much I hated the characters, namely Finneus, in the book. I felt such deep hatred, I mean we’re talking I want your head on a pike outside my window so I can see it every morning and smile, kind of hatred. He was so evil and despicable and it made me feel like I was right there along with Drake.

Finally the star of the show, Evera! God I really love when the fmc has an unwavering friend, who will go through thick and thin for her! And Evera very much does do that, she remained by Drake’s side all throughout the book. And provided some amazing commentary, I swear she had me laughing out loud!

What I didn’t like:
To be honest, there want much I found myself disliking with this book. My only complaint is with some tiny details I would have enjoyed. For instance, what happened with the Zodiac Wolves? They were mentioned briefly in a dream and got minimal explanation after. I could have done with more world building too and explanations of other supernaturals in the world.

All in all this book was great and I highly recommend it!

*The Lost Pack* by Sophie Davis is a gripping tale of betrayal and redemption. Drake Aspen’s journey to reclaim her fallen pack is filled with twists, fast-paced action, and a well-done enemy-to-lovers romance. The standout is Drake’s character growth, transforming from spoiled to strong leader. I’ve found a new favorite author in Sophie Davis—this book is a must-read for fantasy and romance fans!

This book was good, but it started slow. The main female character, Drake, got to be annoying a few times; she came off as very immature. The main male character, Penn, seemed wishy-washy, going back and forth, seeming to be on her side but then saying something/doing something that would be a complete 180 from his previous actions. If you want a shifter/wolf romance with some suspense and mystery, you will enjoy this book, but you definitely need to give it a chance, probably until chapter 10, before you decide whether you like it.
