Review: Wolf's Call (Wolves Next Door Series Book 2) by Auryn Hadley

Wolf's Call by Auryn Hadley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Finding Her Strength

Now that Elena is acknowledged as the Alpha Mate at Wolf Run, she’s got a few more problems than before. However, she has the support not only of her mates, but of her friends too.

With an ex-girlfriend running around causing problems, Elena has to rely on being guarded from harm and being helped in handling malicious gossip. The one thing she can’t do, is fight back because she isn’t a wolf.

Trying to come to terms with being in a relationship with men who have a sexually transmitted disease is not easy, especially if becoming exposed could lead to her death or being trapped as a wolf, leaving her wolf daughter to be raised by a negligent father.

In this book we see Elena start to grow into her new role and make her own circle of friends in the pack. Instead of trying to do everything herself she is learning to rely on others, which is a difficult lesson to learn after 40 years.

We also see Elena and her daughter, Gabby, learn to communicate and become closer. It’s a lovely part of the story filled with embarrassment and tenderness. Gabby’s relationships within the pack also grows and changes in this book as she steps forward into her new wolf role as daughter of the Alpha Mate.

The relationships are what make this book great. They are nuanced, realistic and filled with mistakes and stumbling, which makes them a joy to engage with. Aside from exploring the romantic aspects of this book, there are plenty of other relationships to explore, with friendships, a kind of sisterhood and the role of real and pseudo parents/grandparents. I love that this book does not solely focus on romance but all the relationships between the main and supporting characters.

There is definitely tension created by plot twists and character clashes, which provide dynamics to the story. It’s a gripping book and I couldn’t stop reading it once I started - thanks Auryn another 4am finish!!!! I can’t wait for the next book.
