The Gilded Wolves by Roshani Chokshi
5.0
It's Paris in 1889, and the Exposition Universelle is just around the corner. Séverin Montagnet-Alarie manages a wildly popular hotel by day, and by night "acquires" treasures that once belonged to his now-extinct family House. Everything is going smoothly until one such acquisition traps Séverin in a contract to steal something with potentially world-ending repercussions. He would be lost without the help of his trusty team: Enrique, a historian longing to belong; Zofia, a brilliant scientist who can make sense of math but not people; Laila, a dancer and cook with a magical secret; and Tristan, Séverin's foster brother with an extraordinary gift for plant magic. Will this be the one acquisition that is too much even for these experts?
The Gilded Wolves is an enchanting historical fantasy novel with a host of fantastic characters. I loved experiencing the viewpoints of Séverin, Enrique, Laila, and Zofia, and felt as though I were becoming friends with them as the story progressed. The action and suspense made this book hard to put down, and the explosive ending left me not-so-patiently waiting for the sequel!
