New Moon Summer

I received New Moon Summer in return for an honest review from a Librarything give-away. Rylie is the Alpha werewolf leader of the werewolves and fresh out of high school. She lives on a ranch which is really a werewolf sanctuary which she has guarded for two years with the help of her boyfriend and his brother. Seth has headed away to college so Rylie’s closest friend is Abel who happens to be Seth’s older brother. Seth isn’t a werewolf but a hunter which is attuned to living werewolves. However his brother Abel is a werewolf and Rylie’s second in command plus her wolf is attracted to him. With the return of Seth Rylie receives a cryptic note along with a silver bullet but she assumes it’s from Seth.

Abel heads off into town show more to pick up a new wolf that will be staying at the sanctuary only to find out that the wolf wasn’t on the plane as expected. Scott the one in charge of the sanctuaries and handles all the business that the wolves may need like travel, hotels, and anything else that comes up. When he learns that the wolf is missing he sends Seth to find him before he returns home to the ranch for the summer. When Rylie doesn’t hear from Seth after several days she decides to go find him taking along his brother to protect her. When they find Seth they learn that there is more going on than a missing wolf and that the bullet wasn’t from him.

I’ve not read any of S.M. Reine’s books before but I love a good werewolf story. It’s a fast paced story only fifty pages but it’s easy to be sucked in and left wanting more. I wish I knew more about Rylie so maybe I should have read her other series first but it’s not the first time I’ve read out of order. I’ve already added the original Seasons of the moon series to check out and learn more about Rylies back story. I like the concept of the sanctuary for the wolves as well as the idea of the hunters. I really enjoyed the story I just want more and wish I had read the books that have the start of who and how Rylie became a werewolf . show less

I didn’t realise when I started reading this book that it was only going to be the first part of a longer story, so the ending was a little more abrupt than I would have liked. I wanted to know what happened next as there were a few plot developments that had started that I was interested in seeing how they ended. What I did read I really enjoyedso I’d recommend this book, but I’d say get the next ones as well, so the story has a conclusion. On what I’ve read so far, 4/5.

I received New Moon Summer for free in exchange for an honest review- so here goes.

I think that the author is a good writer and I enjoyed the story. I loved that there was action mystery and a bit of a love triangle. I personally need the main female character to be a bit stronger- she is the alpha but doesn't really seem strong/confident enough to totally pull off that role.

However- the biggest problem for me was the abrupt ending with no conclusion- even in a series to be continued I don't like there to be no conclusion. That being said I did like this story enough to check into purchasing the other stories- but it appeared like this one that there was no set storyline or plan from the author (the author asked for opinions on where show more the story should go next from her readers). This is probably great for some people who will love having some say- I however will wait until the story seems to be concluded and then buy the rest to read.
I did however enjoy the story very much right up until the end so if that massiave cliffhanger is your still and you are into werewoves and such you will love this story.
I hope to read the rest one day as well. show less

I fell in love with this story with the first book. Though they could be read separately, I highly recommend the series.

I loved all of the characters. It takes a lot for me to get "involved" with characters but I had no problems with this series. I kept making noises through them all. My Husband had to turn up the television.

I know its bad, but I'm rooting for Abel!!

Great start to a novella werewolf series. Also good choices for the names of all the characters. Really wish it was a full-length novel, but part two should prove to be interesting. Good idea utilizing the Cain/Abel/Seth story. Likeable MC, but maybe she will be stronger in next one. Loved Abel.

Short and sweet. I really wish it was longer but it is a good story. I will be reading the rest of this series.
