emikemper 's review for:

The Wolf Den by Elodie Harper
2.75
Plot or Character Driven: Character

I read it. It was okay. 

Honestly, I’m really sad that this book was so disappointing to me. I was excited for it. But,
I knew that Cressa was going to die, and I figured out that as soon as Amara was free, she would lose Dido permanently.
The ending reads as this could have been a standalone and that is how I’m going to treat it. The language was also a little too modern for my tastes (why are we using girlfriend/boyfriend in a book about Ancient Rome and prostitution???) I also felt like Amara was being forced into this trope of “forced girlboss in the face of weakness” and it did such a disservice to her character because she is a strong woman but it felt harped on.
