Pyotra and the Wolf by Elna Holst

4.0

Perfect for a winter read! I felt the Siberian chill in this atmospheric queer retelling of Peter and the Wolf. The plot unfolds slowly and mysteriously as we get to know Pyotra, a young woman who has lost most of her family except for her dear brother and her grandfather. She is surviving as best as she can until she is faced with a wolf, unlike any other she has seen. What follows is a quietly beautiful and sometimes steamy love story with plenty of twists and turns. I really loved Pyotra and Volk’s story as well as a few of the side characters who are introduced later in the story. I highly recommend this for people who enjoy WLW romance, retellings, and mystery.

Thank you to the author for an eARC in exchange for an honest review. Look for my Instagram post and blog review as it gets closer to publication date.
