The Wolf Den (Wolf Den Trilogy, #1) by Elodie Harper Still, I couldn’t put the first book down, I was so invested in Amara’s story! The books are very slice of life, which means they’re character driven and don’t have much of a plot to pull readers along. The setting is rough and harsh, not for the faint of heart, but it’s an eye-opening look into parts of ancient society that are typically overlooked and undervalued.
Harper is a very vivid writer, transporting readers back to the streets of Italy with her characters. It’s brutal, it’s difficult, but it’s not without its romances, found family, and one heck of a setting! So obviously, count me in! The Wolf Den Trilogy is a hard-hitting emotional exploration into life in Ancient Italy (specifically Pompeii) as a slave. A voice that isn’t often told and a perspective that fiction doesn’t explore as much. A book about enslaved women working in a brothel? That felt like a new one. Yet finding love may prove to be the most dangerous act of all.We return to Pompeii for the second instalment in Elodie Harper's Wolf Den Trilogy, reimagining the lives of the women from the town's lupanar.I’ve been meaning to start this series since the first book came out, so the release of the sequel seemed like a perfect time to pick them both up! I’m a sucker for anything that involves mythology (yes, even the cliché staples like Greek and Roman mythology), especially historical fiction. In order to be free, she will need to be as ruthless as he is.Amara knows her existence in Pompeii is subject to Venus, the goddess of love.

Amara has escaped her life as a slave in the town's most notorious brothel, but now her existence depends on the affections of her patron- a man she might not know as well as she once thought.At night she dreams of the wolf den, still haunted by her past. The life of a courtesan in Pompeii is glittering, yet precarious. Print The House with the Golden Door (#2 Wolf Den)
