Phantom Wolf By Kia Carrington-Russell

Phantom Wolf By Kia Carrington-Russell

 Blurb:
Sia is a Phantom Wolf. Neither dead nor alive—and rotting from the inside—she is on the edge of her curse. Once a Phantom Wolf has been created, they hunt their blood pack and slaughter all their loved ones. Except for Sia, who woke years after her death to find herself rampaging through the land on a lonely path. She continues to run from the rival pack that hunts her because she is a Phantom Wolf. Attracted to a scent, Sia finds her old best friend, who is now a grown woman. Having once saved Keeley, Sia takes the role of protector yet again, despite Keeley’s involvement with the mysterious Alpha, Kiba, and his kin brother, Saith. An ambush separates the pack and the four of them blindly fight the new warriors that attack them: desperately needing to find out where the attacks are coming from, as Sia has vowed to protect Keeley. But at what cost? Now being chased, Sia finds herself conflicted by the mortal and spirit world while trying to protect her kin. Sia must confront her fears, as well as the human lover who killed her many years before. It is not only survival Sia contends with, but her own façade that must be broken so that she may find peace within herself once more.

MY REVIEW: 
5 Panda's 
Or Stars if you like stars better! 

**I was given this book for my honest review at Books Are My Escape.

Sia is what is known as a Phantom Wolf, she is feared by all her kind too. She is caught somewhere between life and death with a mission to fulfill and she is not sure what it is she is to do.
She comes across a childhood friend that she saved the very night she was turn into a phantom wolf, Keeley is on the hunt, and she isn't aware it is her friend that she is helping to hunt. She is joined on the hunt by Saith and the Alpha Kiba.
She swears once again to protect Keeley and will everything she can to make that promise a reality. After an attack the four companions are on the run and trying to figure out who is hunting them all now.
Sia has to come to terms with what she is, the fact that a human lover made her into this things she is now, and her growing feelings towards on of the males.

Kiba, is used to being listened to and not challenged. When he tells Sia that he is protecting both Keeley and Saith, Sia cannot trust that he knows what he is up against. She doesn't make it an easy job to help keep everyone safe either. What happens when they have to fight for all they believe in?

This story has intrigue, love, extreme sadness, and hope. Just what makes a great book come to life. I actually told my teen girls that they needed to read this book. It will be loved by both of them. The concept of a wolf type person and NOT a shifter was a new one for me, and I found that I truly enjoyed this book. I cannot wait to read the next book in this series!!
 
About The Author:
 
Kia Carrington-Russell is a young author working on her first series: "The Three Immortal Blades". Kia began writing at the age of fifteen in high school- finding that all her warped and strange dreams were giving her a fantastic new world- and since then she has never looked back.
Kia Carrington-Russell
Kia was born in a small town in Australia, moving around a lot at a young age until finding a stable town where she finished her schooling. Kia found herself enjoying and expressing herself through poetry, short stories and writing, photography, painting and drawing. All these mediums help Kia express the different world that she is so fond of.
In 'Senior Art' Kia focused on feminism and female empowerment; exposing through her work issues and concerns that many people would rather just "sweep under the rug".
In one art installation, Kia made a bed out of Pokémon cards- the concept being that when she slept a new world would come to life and it was the only one she saw and constantly lived in.
Kia now focuses on her photography, writing and self-help blogs on her website: 'Precious Living'.
Kia is now keenly working on "The Three Immortal Blades" series knowing that this book has to be shared with the world and that is what she aims to do now.
Kia writes in her Australian home, trying to focus at times on simply what is running through her head, as her cats either terrorize her legs as scratching posts or her puppy barks in her ear for play-time. And as she continues her series, they grow with her book.
Kia is strongly supported by her friends and family and thanks them dearly for being with her along the bumpy road and nothing would please her more than having your support as well.
