Six Moon Summer review


 
I finished this book tonight and I gave it 4 stars.
 
Would I recommend this to other people:  Yes
Is it appropriate for 14 and under:  Yes
Language and content:  Language was mild to none, no sexual content and violence is low
 
The book starts out with Rylie going to camp for the summer and she doesn't want to be there.  She does everything in her power to let everyone know she doesn't want to be there, which is quite entertaining.  She ends up on the wrong end of a werewolf's teeth one night and makes friends with a mysterious boy that wants to help her.  I really enjoyed this book.  I loved that I didn't have the book figured out and that it kept me guessing through the entire book.  I thought I had Seth, her obvious love interest, pegged from the moment she met him, but I was surprised as Rylie was when he dropped the truth on her.  I also liked the authors take on the werewolves transformation, it's one I haven't come across yet.  All in all a good read and I'll continue on with the series and read more from the author soon.

New start...

Okay, so here's my new blog.  I wanted somewhere I could honestly discuss the books I've read, and not just the published authors (who I still love), but my new love of the Indie authors!!  So this is the place I will come, besides Goodreads and Amazon, to pay "tribute" to a great book or complain about a bad book.  So, I'll start off with the book I'm reading now.  I haven't finished it, I'm only 1/2 way through it, so I won't be giving a review, but I'll be putting up the cover and plot.  When I've finished, I'll post my thoughts on here, as well as Amazon and Goodreads, for the author.  Please feel free to comment.  And if I'm feeling "froggy", I may also add some of my own work for your reading "pleasure", I hope.  :)
 
Rylie's been bitten.

She's changing.

And now she has three months to find a cure before becoming a werewolf... forever.

Rylie Gresham hates everything about summer camp: the food, the fresh air, the dumb activities, and the other girls in her cabin. But the worst part is probably being bitten by a werewolf. Being a teenager is hard enough, but now she's craving raw flesh and struggles with uncontrollable anger. If she doesn't figure out a way to stop the transformation, then at the end of summer, her life is worse than over. She'll be a monster.
