Gray Moon Rising

It’s been almost a year since Rylie Gresham was bitten by a werewolf on Gray Mountain. Now something is beckoning her back to the place she was attacked, along with every other werewolf in the world. But they aren’t the only ones heeding the call. A group of hunters notices them gathering and sees it as their chance to wipe out the entire species.
Seth is about to graduate high school when he learns of the final hunt. He secretly plans to save Rylie and his werewolf brother even though he has to play along with the hunters to do it. But Rylie doesn’t want to be saved. She’s already decided to solve her problems with a silver bullet if answers aren’t waiting on Gray Mountain.
One way or another, everything is about to end—whether it means Rylie’s liberation or the end of her life…


This book was pretty good. I didn't really like the way it all ended but i know there is a spin-off series with 4 books so im not too disappointed. I think this series is worth the read although it wasnt one of my favorites. I liked the plot of this book but i did think it kinda dragged out in some parts but there were other parts that were really good so it kinda made up for it. lol

Dangerous Voices

Errik has been a prisoner--and alone--for a long, long time. He lives for the moment each day when the window of his dungeon cell shines a bit of light onto his bearded face.
But everything changes when he gets a new neighbor--a young girl with a voice as beautiful as the springrise.
They both know the rules: No singing. No speaking. Voices are dangerous. But they can't help themselves. And soon enough, Errik begins to remember himself, why he's here in this dark place, and why his captors will stop at nothing to ensure his silence.


This was a nice short story. It only took me about 20 minutes to read but i thought it sent a nice message. The message might be different depending on the person but the message I got was to not lose yourself and who you are by letting people silence you or bring you down. i downloaded it one day on one of my free ebook sites. Its definitely worth the 20 minutes to sit down and read it. Usually short stories just leave me wishing there would be more books or at least a full length novel but this one definitely did just fine with the one short story. :-)

Long Night Moon

Something is killing innocent people around Rylie Gresham's town. The police think it's a wild animal, but she has other suspicions. There are new kids at school, and they have a lot in common with her: gold eyes, super strength, and a habit of turning furry. It seems Rylie's not the only werewolf around anymore.
It's up to Rylie and her werewolf-hunting boyfriend, Seth, to stop the killings. But saving lives doesn't come naturally to a monster, and territory battles could risk the life of her sickly aunt--not to mention her own. Rylie has no choice but to stand her ground, protect her home, and stop the murderers before anyone else gets hurt.


This is the Third Book in the Seasons of the Moon Series. I thought it was ok. It was kind of sad specially the ending. I am really excited to see where Riley goes next and if this doctor and other werewolves can really help her or not. This girl has one tough life. 

Forced Awakening

While enjoying the summer at her grandmothers cottage Sophie falls captive to a sex-crazed Werewolf. Still a virgin, Sophie is reluctant to give in to his sexual desires. Hopeless and without a plan of escape she begins to crave the wolfs depraved needs.

This book was pretty good but its pretty much none stop sex all the way through. there's barely a background story. so i recommend this series for anybody who just wants to read the erotic parts in the romance books. It's a nice short romance.

All Hallows Moon

 Rylie survived becoming a werewolf at great cost. She moves to her aunt’s ranch in the hopes she can enroll in a new high school and quietly continue her life... with a few distinct changes. She transforms into a beast every new and full moon and struggles to control her murderous urges.
Without many werewolves left, it’s hard to stay in hiding. A family of hunters -- Eleanor, Abel, and Seth -- recognize the signs and follow Rylie to her new home. They want to stop her before she murders someone, and the only way to do it is with a silver bullet. Seth soon realizes the werewolf is Rylie, the one monster he failed to kill. Worse yet, he’s still in love with her.
Torn between family and love, Rylie struggles to reconcile her feelings and control the wolf within while Seth fights to do what’s right. But what is right-- obeying desire or duty?


All Hallows Moon is the second book in The Seasons of the Moon Series. In this book Rylie has moved onto her aunts farm away from the city hoping that it will be easier to not harm any people in a small town. Rylie starts school and soon finds out that Seth is back and this time he has his family of hunters with him. Seth tells Rylie that he will try to help keep her away from his family so they wont kill her but his mom is a crazy hunter who seems to care way more about the hunt then her own kids. I liked this book ok i would give it three stars the first book i LOVED so i'm hoping the others will be as good as the first. :-)

Wraith's Forest

Fairy tales and haunted woods lead us through L.J. Leger's Beauty and the Beast story of one girl with the weight of a village on her shoulders and the attention of a very unlikely soul.
Jenna is chosen for the coveted task of gathering the magical fruit to preserve the peaceful balance of the secret valley where she and many others live. During the harvest, one fruit is damaged and the task of healing the bruise falls on Jenna’s shoulders. She must enter the Wraith’s Forest, retrieve a magical blade from the specter who lives there so the valley will remain a utopia. But once she makes contact with the Wraith, her fear slowly disappears and her curiosity is aroused with more questions of why the Wraith is in the Forest and the true purpose for the harvest. If you love Beauty and Beast type fairy tales, Wraith’s Forest is the book to read. Perfect for Young Adults!


Great short story! This is an excellent twist on beauty and the beast i wish it would have been longer or been a series i would definitely love to read more about the characters! Jenna is chosen for the task of gathering the magical fruit that keeps peace in her village. When one of the fruits is bruised she is facing being an outcast that everyone hates unless she can get the magical dagger from the wraith in the forest so she can have the wizard heal the fruit. When she comes upon the Wraith, instead of being afraid like everyone else she finds herself curious as to who he is and what his story is. If you the beauty and the beast story you will LOVE "Wraith's Forest"

The Legacy of Kilkenny

Ireland has many secrets... this is one of them.
The legend has been confirmed, the Great Wolf has been born. Abel Casey, a 16 year old student is in for the ride of his life, literally. The Pack princess Pru , she is on a mission to train Abel for his destiny. This is a werewolf story that will take one pack of wolves on the ride of their lives, someone won't survive....will the pack?


So far i haven't read anything by Devyn Dawson that i don't love! I'm not a big fan of werewolf stories so i was definitely surprised to love it so much! Devyn Dawson does a fantastic job by making her characters so re-latable its easy to get sucked in! This book is about two main characters: Abel and Pru. Abel is destined to be the great wolf and Pru is supposed to teach him self defense and getting him ready to be a wolf. Abel always thought he was just a normal guy and never knew anything about the supernatural world and now hes thrown in the middle of everything and if that's not enough something strange is going on with his sister Ally. Definitely a good read!

My Favorite Mistake

Taylor Caldwell can't decide if she wants to kiss her new college roommate or punch him.
On the one hand, Hunter Zaccadelli is a handsome, blue-eyed bundle of charm. On the other, he's a tattooed, guitar-playing bundle of bad boy. Maybe that's why Taylor's afraid of falling in love with him, or anyone else. She doesn't want to get burned, and even though her other roommates adore him, she wants him gone before it's too late.
Hunter himself has been been burned before, but the fact that Taylor calls him out on his crap and has the sexiest laugh ever make him decide maybe love isn't a lost cause. They make a bet: if she can convince him she truly loves or hates him, he'll leave the apartment--and leave her alone. The problem is, the more time they spend together, the less she hates him, and the more she moves toward love.
But when the man who holds the key to Taylor's fear of giving up her heart resurfaces and threatens to wreck everything, she has to decide: trust Hunter with her greatest secret, or do everything in her power to win that bet and drive him away forever.


Chelsea M. Cameron is an AMAZING author! She has created a male character worth swooning over! Hunter Zaccadelli is sweet, HOT, funny, and can sing and cook like a god! But he has a past that he doesnt want to share with anyone. Taylor Caldwell is an outspoken girl who went through something when she was younger that has left her afraid to get close to anyone. She cant stand hunter in the beginning because he challenges her and no matter what she says or does to him he stays with her. They make a deal that if taylor can prove that she either hates him or loves him he will leave her alone, but just saying "i hate you" isnt enough to prove it. AMAZING story CANNOT wait for the next book to come out!

I Am Alive!

Every girl dies - not every girl really lives.
Sixteen-year-old Decca Tenderstone feels captivated when she meets Leo, who is arrogant, silent, beautiful, and shoots almost every one he meets.
the usual boring girl meets badboy story... hmm... with a twist ...
They live in a dystopian future in Los Angeles where every sixteen-year-old is ranked on a scale from one to ten to determine their future. Outranks, who are considered a danger to society, are forced to attend the Monster Show, a brutal sacrificing ritual that is broadcasted worldwide on live TV, where rebellious teens are labelled Bad Kidz or Monsters and get to fight for their lives in deadly games.
To prove that you're still alive you have to scream I Am Alive every six hours. Lower your voice, and you're dead.
Decca doesn't need Leo's company. She has secrets of her own. While they both can't stand each other, she will find out why she doesn't fit into any rank.
Nothing will stand in her way as she has to make choices concerning love, life, staying alive, growing up, and finding out who she really is.


If you like Dystopian Future Books i suggest you read this one! I thought this book was really similar to The Hunger Games but i definitely liked this series more! This series follows Decca Tenderstone who is sixteen years old. Every year all the sixteen year olds get ranked. If you get ranked a 4 or lower you are a monster. If you are ranked a monster they automatically send you to "The Monster Show" where you have to fight to live and every six hours you must prove this by screaming "i am alive" into your iam. If you can survive the show you will be ranked and allowed back into society, but that has never happened before. Decca thinks her friend woo (who was sent to the monster show last year) might still be alive hiding in the arena somewhere. Follow decca through her battle in the arena to stay alive and try to find woo the only person who has ever understood her.

Winter's Awakening: The Metahumans Emerge

Assumptions: I am a normal human being. I'm an average fifteen-year-old. I have always lived here, and I always will. This year will be like every other. But I'll soon find out... none of these assumptions are true.
 
Loved this book! We have 3 kids named Meg, Alik, and Evan, and of course the very loyal and smart pet wolf named Maze. Their mother has raised them out in the middle of nowhere on a farm with no computers, tv or anyway for them to know about the outside world. Their mom is a brilliant scientist who has just won an award in which she has to travel away from the kids to go recieve, or so she thinks. When the kids realize that something must have happened to their mother when she has not called to check in they call the only emergency number they have, that of a doctor that they have never met or heard of before. The doctor tells the kids that they are in trouble and comes to pick them up immediately. Then they go on an adventure trying to find and save their mother before its too late. Along the way they learn some very shocking secrets about who their mother is and about themselves. Great Read! Definitely recommend this!

Kahayatle

My name's Bryn Mathis. I'm seventeen years old, and I live in a neighborhood outside of Orlando, Florida. I live alone because my dad died almost a year ago, along with all the other adults in the world. I'm almost out of food and the gangs of kids that roam around my town are getting more vicious by the day.
It's time for me to leave and find another place to live … a place where I can find food and shelter … a place where they won't be able to find me.
Alone, it might have been possible; but now I've got company. I'm worried that I don't have what it takes to get from here to my final destination.
And I have no idea what might be waiting for me when I get there.

 
LOVED this book! Its got everything from humor to action. I found this book making me laugh through the whole thing and the plot is amazing! I loved Bryn, Bodo, Peter, and even Buster lol. You've got Bryn who is such a bad ass using her krav maga skills to keep her and her new friends safe. You've got Bodo who is a hot german guy who definitely has a good sense in humor and poor peter who is... well, just trying to survive and not get eaten by the canners! definitely a good read!
