Harper L. Woods takes us on a breathtaking, high-stakes journey in What Sleeps Within the Cove, delivering a story packed with heart-wrenching sacrifices, gripping trials, and an unraveling destiny that kept me hooked from start to finish.

Estrella’s journey in Tartarus is everything I hoped for and more—intense, emotional, and filled with the kind of growth that makes a character unforgettable. Her struggle to survive without her magic, her relentless determination, and the discovery of her true lineage add so much depth to her story. And Caldris? His devotion and dramatic declarations made every moment between them feel even more powerful. Their bond, even in separation, is absolutely electric.

The trials of the Five Rivers were brutal and captivating, and the world-building in Tartarus was nothing short of mesmerizing. The tension, the action, and the sheer weight of Estrella’s choices made this book impossible to put down.

This installment was everything I wanted—dark, emotional, and deeply satisfying. And now, I’m desperate for the next one!

Harper L. Woods has solidified herself as one of my go-to authors for a seductive blend of action, fantasy, emotional depth, suspenseful cliffhangers, and just the right amount of spice. What Sleeps Within the Cove completely lived up to my already sky-high expectations of this author.

This instalment plunges us deeper into the mesmerising world she’s created, as the main character unravels new mysteries, faces gripping trials, and undergoes meaningful growth. The storyline answers a pivotal question that has intrigued me since the series began, offering satisfying insights while leaving room for even more curiosity. The characters remain as compelling and relatable as ever—there’s no loss of that vital emotional connection in this fourth book. You can feel every ounce of their love, tension, and resilience. I also appreciated seeing less of a particular villain who loomed prominently in earlier books—it brought a refreshing balance to the narrative.

The challenges these characters endure, and their ability to persevere, weave a storyline that takes an unexpected but welcome direction. Harper L. Woods has a knack for keeping readers on their toes, and this book is no exception.

If you loved the first three, this one is a must-have for your collection. I’m already counting the days until book five, even though this one hasn’t hit shelves yet.

Forever obsessed with Harper’s writing, the spice and the world building!

I’ve been counting down the days until I have this book in my hands, so I was so happy when I was very kindly given an arc, and let me tell you that this did not disappoint!!

What Sleeps Within the Cove will take you on an emotional rollercoaster ride so hang on tightly! Estrella’s journey in Tartarus is filled with heartbreak but also character growth as she struggles not only to survive, but the secret behind her true lineage is revealed. The love and devotion in this book will have your heart fluttering. A grippingly intoxicating read in the best way possible, this fourth book in the Of Flesh & Bone series was everything I was waiting for.

4,5/5 stars

This series gets better and better with every book that comes out. Especially this one was easy to read and it kept me interested in what happens next the whole time and I couldn't put it down. I literally read it in two days which tells a lot.

Tartarus was a nice change of scenery, and the journey Estrella went through in there gave me a rollercoaster of emotion. It clearly built Estrellas character further and built things up for the next book but I enjoyed that part very much. I also enjoyed Fenrir as a character and now I want a wolf of my own as a pet.

The cliffhanger was brutal once again, and I can't wait to read the next book some time in the future.

Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for the e-ARC.

I love this series very much and the world Harper created. The heroine was more interesting in this book and again She won a place on my top badass females characters. What i like the most and enjoyed in each volume was the worldbuilding, with all the detailes and descriptions. I wasn't bored at all. So happy to have been able to read the Arc. Thank you very much NetGalley.
