Becca Thornton, divorced, middle-aged, and trying to embrace a quiet life, discovers that there are still plenty of surprises to be had when her menopause kicks in with bonus lycanthropy. And she's not the only one. The seemingly peaceful and dull town of Wolf's Point has its own all-female werewolf pack and Becca has just become its newest member. But it's not all protecting Wolf's Point, midnight meetings at the Women's Club, and monthly runs through the woods. There are werewolf hunters in town and now they've got Becca and the Wolf's Point Pack in their sights. As if that wasn't enough, Becca's cute lesbian werewolf neighbor, Erin, is starting to haunt her dreams as well as her doorstep. What's a newbie werewolf to do, between the hot flashes and the unexpected physical transformations? Can Becca overcome her fears and help the werewolves defeat their greatest enemy?… (more)

I read the description for this one and you had me at SAPPHIC MENOPAUSAL WEREWOLVES! Becca, 50, and recently divorced, comes up on her "change of life" and SURPRISE! In this town, that might mean you join the pack of werewolves protecting the town! One day she's just living her life, keeping her head down, and the next... hot flashes, a sudden primal urge to take long runs under the moonlight, and OH YEAH, her cute lesbian neighbor, Erin, is making her feel some type of way!

That is a WHOLE LOT of life changes to process at once, and Becca does not take it all gracefully, but I am here for a snarly, out-of-sorts, doing-her-best, middle-aged mess!

Fantastic popcorn summer read, with the post-menopausal heroines WE DESERVE! (

An interesting take on werewolves: post-menopausal women who go through ‘the change’ literally and become the protectors of a small mountain town.

Unfortunately, I found the plot rather pedestrian and mildly incoherent. I also felt it was a bit ‘New-agey’ and the LGBT subplot felt as though it was added to make the book more marketable.

Boring.

My wife gifted me this book and I was a bit leary because the last time I tried to read a lesbian werewolf novel (come on, so much promise!) it was TERRIBLE and I could not finish. But happily, this was a very different book, and I enjoyed it.

I really like how Silver Moon turned the werewolf trope on its head: the local magic in the town of Wolf's Point turns women into werewolves as they go through menopause. (There are not enough stories about mature women, especially in SFF, IMHO.)

I liked Becca, her bravery, her experience of being a wolf, the way the magic called to her, and her willingness to explore the unexpected (both the werewolf and her handsome lady neighbor, natch). Shelley, Erin, and Lizzie were also interesting. Most of the other characters weren't drawn in depth, but I'd totally read more about Becca and Erin and what is in store for them. (

This was a really intriguing concept (menopausal lycanthropy), with a solid cast of heroines. Unfortunately, it seemed as if all the effort went into developing them, and the villains were left to be stock (and unrealistic). The romance was nice, subtle and tasteful, and the pro-lesbian community was refreshing. (

In a little town, women turn into werewolves after menopause. Interesting idea!
