What if the gods got it wrong?

When children in Rohahen’s tribe come of age, they receive shifter forms from the gods. Sometimes these forms come with an extra gift: strength-sharers can give mental commands while heart-singers can shape others’ emotions.

Rohahen has been hiding his crush on Tier for fifteen years. For the balance of the tribe, the Chief must marry a heart-singer, not a strength-sharer like himself.

Only Rohahen is starting to wonder if there might be other ways of being a heart-singer. When Tier starts to return his affection, perhaps he can find the bravery to show the world who he really is.

Because the ways of the gods are mysterious. And maybe they didn’t get it wrong after all.

The Hummingbird’s Gift is a companion story to Hummingbird and Kraken. It will not make sense as a stand-alone. It has an adorable bison shifter, a possessive bobcat, a heart-singer coming into his own, plenty of heat, and a HEA.


My review: 

Ro and Tier's little story was much better then Declan and Gier's. 

I was really excited after reading the Hummingbird and Kraken, because Ro was a really interesting character and I wanted to know how their lovelife will end. 

This kind of folklore story telling is not my cup of tea, and after a while I got bored reading those 'dry' scenes, and I just wanted Tier and Ro to be together. And I thought the book will start where the last had ended - with the dancing scene - but not. 

They were really cute and I loved when Ro baked something for Tier, those scenes were super cute. And my favorites in shifter books: when they shift! Loved when they were in their animal forms, it was really lovely. 

Liked reading this book, it was a cute short story.

Prince Ahmiki knows that he’s useless in comparison to his brothers. He refuses to marry, he can’t help with governing, and he doesn’t want to be a priest. All he does is waste time with poetry and song.

Things change after an encounter with a strange young man, and the tragedy that befalls the family soon after.

As a prince, Ahmiki knows that his purpose in life is to serve their city and help its people find prosperity. Until the night that he is named as the living representative of the god Teska’atl, to be sacrificed at the end of the year. Ahmiki has to endure one year of humiliating rituals, unpleasant ceremonies, and a fraught political landscape.

At least he can take some comfort in the handsome and strangely unbowed servant who has been assigned to him…

Tekokwa runs. He runs from his past, he runs from his future. He runs from himself.

He runs so far from civilization that he should be the only human around, but instead he finds himself living with Kwaotli, a mysterious young man who is one contradiction upon another. He's a spoiled lordling one moment, a humble weaver the next. He tells stories like nobody Tekokwa has ever known, and yet won't share his own. And above all, his moods swing: from fun and carefree to manic and angry.

Despite everything, Tekokwa can't defend himself against Kwaotli's advances. Kwaotli seems determined force Tekokwa to face himself, to let out the darkness that Tekokwa has tried so hard to suppress all his life.

Sekwistli’s entire life revolves around sacrifice. He gives his blood to beg for rain, for the harvest, for prosperity. He sacrifices for their once flowering city. He sacrifices for the good of their dying land.

After a night of sacrifice goes too far, he meets a blind healer who attempts to heal him of more than just his physical ills. But sacrifice is ingrained in Sekwistli’s soul.

My review: 

So what should I do next? Because I read all of Adara Wolf's book and I just want more! MORE! 
This series was so good too! It was so different from anything I've ever read and it was really good. All the stories were unique, all the characters awesome and so different from each other. Everyone was lovely, strong and passionate. I loved everyone's story and I need more. 

The name's were unique and hard to remember and to say it out loud. I mean I'm still anxious speaking english in person, but these names... i can't even imagine it saying out loud, lol. But I love unique stories with new names, places, situations.

The endings of each book was new to me. They weren't HEA, but in some ways they were. The first book's ending was so beautiful, i have no words! I loved it so much. That is a real love story. 

The second book's ending was a bit bittersweet, I was so angry. I wanted their HEA so bad. They deserved it more then anyone. The story was still good, but that ending... gaaahhhh.

And in the third book, we got the full circle. We got the ending that started in the first story. The child, the future king. But daaamn, that ending too! I could cry for them. They were so perfect for each other, and i re-thought my earlier decisions after reading the third because they deserved the HEA more then the second pairing. Perfect match in pain and in pleasure. 

I loved all three books, all the characters and their decisions - but sometimes i could punch them in the face because I wanted them to be happy. Every story was unique and amazing. Highly recommend it! And the book's titles! So awesome and perfect! I love perfect book titles♥

And oh, that novella with Ahmiki, that was a good one too. It's a good start to the series. 

READ this series! And read from ADARA WOLF!
