I looked between the monster and the man and I didn’t care what anyone else thought. I knew which one I wanted.

Isabelle Berger knows there is a beast in the woods with the power to kill over a hundred people. She wants to marry him, but inadvertently strips him of his powers in the process.

Leaving them both open when a new wolf starts his hunt.

WOLF IN SHEEP’S CLOTHING is the direct sequel to Cry Wolf—a darker twist on Beauty and the Beast inspired from the legend of the Beast of Gévaudan and the French Revolution.



I absolutely LOVED Cry Wolf (the first book in the series), so I was very excited to start on this one. The writing style was similar to Cry Wolf (see my review for it here), and both of the books could definitely be considered as novella-length.

Good things first. Howl is still amazing and super adorable and now we get to see quite a bit from his POV! There were also quite a few good action scenes, but nothing too graphic or violent.

I listened to the audiobook version of Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing, so reading the book instead of listening to it probably would’ve produced a different experience for me. With the audiobook, though, the story felt extremely short. Granted, I did listen to it at 1.5 speed, but that’s what I did with Cry Wolf and with every other audiobook, too, and I didn’t really have that same feeling with any of the rest. So if I were you, I wouldn’t speed this one’s audiobook up.

Also, with this one, there was a third narrator (one for Belle’s POV, one for Jean’s, and one for Howl’s), but I ended up not liking Howl’s narrator too much. It wasn't that he was bad at reading audiobooks, but I seriously think his voice was too deep for Howl. I really loved the way Howl sounded when it was Belle’s POV (with the female narrator speaking), but Howl’s narrator just made things sound kind of cheesy and unrealistic. The writing was amazing, but the narration wasn't always. I was left wishing there were more scenes with Belle and Howl together.

Speaking of that, I think mostly this book is leading up to book three. Belle and Howl barely have any interaction together in this one. For most of the book, Belle is trapped with Jean However, there’s still plenty of humor on Howl’s part for those of you who love that like me, and the book is still plenty interesting!

Overall, this is a series that I would recommend. Book 2 wasn't perfect, but that’s okay!

Please note that I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review. All opinions expressed are completely my own and I was not required to leave a positive review. ( )

If Wolf in Sheep's Clothing says anything, it’s to lead with your heart and your head rather than your ingrained beliefs. The world is gray, and no one set of rules fits into every situation. Humans are complicated, and animals are instinctual. The great thing about Belle and Howl’s relationship is how they are able to merge the two, even if they don’t always fit perfectly.

If you’ve read the first book, you won’t be disappointed by the second. It’s the perfect mix of action, romance, and morality-tale. It will make you think while entertaining. To me, that’s the perfect combination for a successful novel.
