read the summary before reading this book
I went in blind to this book, thinking it would be a special girl meets shifters and romance ensues, which is true... but mainly it is a story about a girl being saved from an abusive home.
2/5 not what I was expecting for a quick read. plus I don't care for high school stories mixed with shifter romance.
The Royals Shifter Trilogy by S. Dalambakis has taken a unique approach in interweaving fantasy with real-life struggles. This series captures the essence of transformation, not just as a shifter, but in the journey of self-discovery and healing from past traumas. Readers are introduced to the protagonist, who navigates the complexities of her harsh upbringing and the contrasting allure of a paranormal romance. The audiobook, narrated by experienced voice actors Joe Hempel and Laurel Schroeder, enhances the emotional depth of the story, resonating with those who appreciate character-driven narratives. If you enjoy stories that blend magical elements with serious themes, this trilogy offers a rich exploration of personal growth amidst challenges. The engaging premise attracts fans of both fantasy and contemporary fiction, but it may not align with those looking for light-hearted shifter romances only. This duality makes the book a subject of discussion within the #BookTok community, as readers express diverse opinions on its content.
