Pyotra and the Wolf by Elna Holst
4.0
I received an ARC I'm exchange for an honest review.
This is a sapphic retelling of the Russian fairy tale Peter and the Wolf. I love queer retellings of classic fairy tales, so I was excited when the author contacted me about this!
We follow Pyotra as she hunts down the wolf that attacked her little brother with every intention of shooting it in revenge. Except the wolf didn't attack him, she saved him, and the wolf isn't an ordinary wolf, she's Volk, a werewolf. Pyotra comes to this conclusion over the course of the beginning of the book, and we see their relationship develop as they hurry back to help Pyotra's brother. No spoilers for the rest of the book, but I enjoyed it!
It is well written with likable characters. 4 stars because I found the beginning quite slow, but the pace picks up later on.
This is released in February, check it out!
