About this ebook
The Last Soul Among Wolves is the brilliant second installment in Melissa Caruso's Echo Archives series, a whip-smart adventure fantasy featuring cursed relics, sapphic romance, and a magical murder mystery.
All Kembral Thorne wants is to finish her maternity leave in peace. But when her best friend asks for help, she can’t say no, even if it means a visit to a run-down mansion on an isolated island for a will reading. She arrives to find an unexpected reunion of her childhood friends—plus her once-rival, now-girlfriend Rika Nonesuch, there on a mysterious job. Then the will is read, and everything goes sideways.
Eight potential heirs, half of them Kem’s oldest friends.
Three cursed relics.
The rules: one by one, the heirs will die.
The prize for the lone survivor: A wish. And wishes are always bad business.
To save their friends, Kem and Rika must race against the clock and descend into other realities once more. But the mansion is full of old secrets and new schemes, and soon the game becomes far more dangerous—and more personal—than they could have imagined.

I loved this 2nd book in Caruso’s Echo Archives series of high fantasy, best read in order. Kembral & Rika are fun characters with frequently conflicting goals. I also like the colorful side characters, & how it's often unclear who can be trusted. The plot, focusing on a murder mystery as well as a complicated web of secrets & deceit, easily held my attention with twists & turns. Great mix of magic, mystery, action, suspense, humor, & slow-burn Sapphic romance. Immersive writing; good ending.
