⭐️⭐️⭐️ | It’s Okay. Still Recommend.
Trials, magic, and wolf-shifters galore. Traitor Wolf by Leia Stone is a thrilling ride with big YA energy and a romance that doesn’t always land but keeps things entertaining. Read my Traitor Wolf book review to determine if this book is worth a spot on your TBR.
Summary:
Forged by the Creator and feared across the realm, the King Killer was never meant for someone like me. But the moment I touch it, the wolves come running, snarling, fighting, and bleeding to claim me.
Only one survives.
A wolf with a traitor’s mark burned into his skin.
And now we’re bonded.
Last night, I was digging through trash in the Elite district when a dying highborn collapsed at my feet. With his final breath, he pressed his trial mark into my chest and gave me his place in a deadly competition I was never meant to enter.
If I win, my entire bloodline, all forty of us, gets magic. The Dregs will rise overnight and the Elites will never forgive it.
My bonded wolf says he doesn’t care about me, that he only wants my blade. But he guards me like I matter, trains me like I have a chance and when they try to kill me, he tears them down like I belong to him.
I didn’t ask for this, but I’m not backing down. Not even for the wolf who could break my heart.

💭 My Thoughts:
This book grabs you from page one and doesn’t let go. It’s so fast-paced, I was halfway through before I even realized how much I’d read. I love a good deadly-trial setup, and this one delivers with nonstop action and tension.
Now, fair warning — the FMC acts her age (she’s 18), meaning she’s rash, emotional, and sometimes makes decisions that make you want to shake her. It definitely leans YA in that sense, so adult readers might roll their eyes a few times. The romance, too, got a little chaotic toward the end — lots of whiplash back and forth: we can’t / we can / we shouldn’t / we did anyway / I hate you / I love you… Not my fave.
But honestly? It’s a fun, easy read that doesn’t take itself too seriously. The ending ties things up enough to be satisfying while leaving room for more, even if the lack of a big cliffhanger doesn’t exactly have me clawing for book two.
Should You Add Traitor Wolf To Your TBR?

Let’s talk about it! If you had to face three deadly trials for magic, which one would take you out first? Be honest. I’d probably die on trial one. 😅 Drop your answer in the comments!
