The Lost Pack

"One warrior must fall so the true warrior can rise."

Thank You https://www.netgalley.com/ and Sophie Davis for the ARC!

Sophie Davis is a very new author to me and she really nailed it with her work. I just can't wait to read her other books.

It was a randomly requested book with lot of uncertainity, but as soon as I began reading, the book had me hooked from the very first page.

The Lost Pack is a perfect urban fantasy with lots of actions and adventures.

What I Liked

Hello??? BETA WILLLIAMS??? He is everything in this book!
Sure, Drake our FMC is a strong headed character, but I wouldn't take someone else for Penn any other way.
And, our show stealer, Evera freaking Williams, she had me cracked up so many times, and i really adored her character. Her friendship with Drake was so wholesome.
My Alpha

Though the world building was a bit slow, but it was worth it with all the 'dreamy' riddles.


Overall, an amazing 5 star read, definitely one of my favorite of 2024.

What I liked:
Omg this book was truly amazing! From the angst to the plot, all of it was chefs kiss! The relationship was stunning, I LOVED Penn. He’s so broody but clearly cares deeply about our fmc, Drake. I didn’t find this book predictable, it was unique and interesting in a way I’ve been craving.

Drake was a great fmc! She was so strong and badass that I immediately fell in love with her. I appreciated her resilience and restraint throughout the book and found myself disappointed when I finished.

The plot is perfectly paced, I never felt bored reading or like things were being rushed. I found the reveals surprising and interesting. The dreams were a confusing at first but make sense in the end, something I love in a book.

I know this sounds weird but I also liked how much I hated the characters, namely Finneus, in the book. I felt such deep hatred, I mean we’re talking I want your head on a pike outside my window so I can see it every morning and smile, kind of hatred. He was so evil and despicable and it made me feel like I was right there along with Drake.

Finally the star of the show, Evera! God I really love when the fmc has an unwavering friend, who will go through thick and thin for her! And Evera very much does do that, she remained by Drake’s side all throughout the book. And provided some amazing commentary, I swear she had me laughing out loud!

What I didn’t like:
To be honest, there want much I found myself disliking with this book. My only complaint is with some tiny details I would have enjoyed. For instance, what happened with the Zodiac Wolves? They were mentioned briefly in a dream and got minimal explanation after. I could have done with more world building too and explanations of other supernaturals in the world.

All in all this book was great and I highly recommend it!

*The Lost Pack* by Sophie Davis is a gripping tale of betrayal and redemption. Drake Aspen’s journey to reclaim her fallen pack is filled with twists, fast-paced action, and a well-done enemy-to-lovers romance. The standout is Drake’s character growth, transforming from spoiled to strong leader. I’ve found a new favorite author in Sophie Davis—this book is a must-read for fantasy and romance fans!

This is one of the best wolf shifter books I’ve read for YEARS.
I loved the fated mates aspect, that love is transcendent through time.

Drake was the perfect blend of “princess” and warrior, she’d had an easy life until the unexpected death of her father, she doesn’t have the best experience but the end is incredible.

I loved how there’s clearly space for follow on books, but it ends neatly enough that it could be standalone.

Penn was the perfect beta, to his TRUE alpha. The way he supported Drake like a quiet undercurrent that is always there, championing her from the wings, patiently loving her while she faced challenging situations.

I’m eager to see another book and revisit the pack.

Great story, and very well-written! The plot sees Drake discover who she really is and her own strength. There's a lot of pain and hurt along the way, but she pushes through and in the end it's worth it. Penn starts off "grumpy" but quickly you see him open up and soften. The story line was very interesting and kept me flipping pages!

Review: this was such a fun read! Within 7% of the book, my mouth was open so wide it hurt! The betrayal in this book had my heart pounding, making me want to devour it more and more.
I personally have never read a shifter/wolf story before, but I will say this did not disappoint.
The complexity to the FMC, and the fate that is written in the books is astronomical.
While this story wasn’t just taken place in the present, my attention was held on tight no matter what time was being portrayed, usually I have a hard time going back and forth.
The FMC is such an aspiring soul, and has so much strength in her to bite her tongue. There were moments in the books where I just wanted to SCREAM at unnamed people ;)
Throughout the whole book, it has you literally guessing on the outcome, and other certain answers to some riddles. The ending wasn’t exactly what I had been guessing throughout the story, which makes it even better!

My favorite quote : “I like being your dirty little secret.”

Ahhh such a good book! Will definitely be reading Sophie’s other books as this was incredible!
