I didn't enjoy this one as much as the first. Laurel was annoying and self righteous to the point i didn't like her at all. she never thought of others and paraded around the new world like she knew all.

⭐️⭐️⭐️

I really liked Thorne and how he is just totally unbothered by how Laurel speaks sometimes. She is so unfiltered and I honestly expected him to be on constant edge with it. Instead he’s out here calling her My Queen and fetching her a smoothie

*4.5 ⭐

Laurel deals with PTSD from Bones (shares that with Clarke). Laurel is stubborn and a secret softie once you break through her barriers. These two qualities are something both her and Thorne share. Thorne has built barriers because he felt abandoned by Rush, his father, and because he made an attachment to Jasper but he went missing. Consequently, Thorne did not want to let anybody in or trust again.

    This book explores Thorne and Laurel's relationship and how through it they've learned things about themselves.Thorne heals his relationship with his father because Laurel opens his mind to it. Also, Laurel soothes him and tells him she'll show him how to love and that he'll never be alone again. Furthermore, Laurel is empowered by Thorne to be more strong than she's ever been. She makes power moves and has a sharp mind. Together they make a beautiful pair.

P.S. Willow (Rush and Clarke's daughter) is so cute
dark mysterious tense medium-paced

The epic journey of wolf shifters and their human mates continues in Book Two. I loved it just as much as I had loved Book One. The story is gripping and the setting is literally out of this world. This is the kind of story that you'll never want to end. Be ware though, this book is bound to give you the worst book-hangover of your life!
I pretty much loved everything about this story, but I feel that the best part it how it combines the old and the new, paranormal and sci-fiction, as well as, adventure and romance. It's the kind of story that all readers can enjoy equally. There are enough twists and turns to keep readers entertained through out the book. In fact, once you start reading, this book is very hard to put down. At least, that's how it was for me. I also loved the whole 'we have to save the world' premise, it's my favorite. It makes you root for the characters instantly. Not to mention, the characters are really lovable anyway. I thoroughly enjoyed it and can't wait to read the next book. So I most definitely recommend this book.

Devoured. One more in the series to see how everything turns out!

The Solace of Sharp Claws by Lana Pecherczyk is the second book in her series Fae Guardians and the second book in The Season of the Wolf trilogy; the Fae Guardians series is further broken into trilogies based on the species of the male main character. You can read each trilogy or book alone, but it’s best to read the series as numbered. I devoured this as an ebook on Kindle Unlimited.

This book was almost a sunshine/grumpy romance with forced proximity, as Thorne is a character with a giant chip on his shoulder and full of anger. Meanwhile, Laurel is ambitious and pushes with all her might against adversity. Both are trying to deal with pain in their past, and neither of them ever thought they would get married, but they stay together to find Thorne’s mentor - the male protagonist in the next book. 

They are amusing together, as they bicker frequently, and grow to work together, as they come to understand one another. They both challenge each other and provide opportunities for growth and healing. Overall, I found the book to be more about letting go of resentment and trauma. It’s such a difficult process, and this book was catharsis. Hot chocolate and blankets are highly recommended to accompany this book!
