Never Cry Werewolf #2
Sometimes by Moonlight
It's bad enough that the guy Shelby fell in love with at brat camp last summer had a dark secret, but helping him protect it has come at a huge cost. It's goodbye, Beverly Hills mansion; hello, creepy Swiss boarding school.
What could be worse than doing time at Steinfelder Academy for Girls? Not hearing a word from her summer boyfriend, Austin Bridges III. Shelby's not even sure that the sacrifice she made for him meant anything, especially after she spies him in the tabloids with a European pop princess.
But Austin's more than your average son-of-a-rockstar werewolf hottie, and his connection to Shelby is stronger than she realizes.
As the days grow darker and the school prepares for holiday break, Austin arrives to explain the real reasons he's stayed away. Suddenly, Shelby begins to understand her improved senses, her need for moonlight, and her growing hunger. Now trapped at Steinfelder, with its ties to an ancient, bloody brotherhood, Shelby realizes that loving Austin will cost her more than she could have imagined.
A dangerous full moon approaches for Shelby and Austin in this ebook novella sequel to the popular Young Adult romance Never Cry Werewolf.

I was first drawn to the novella “Sometimes by Moonlight” because I truly love its predecessor “Never Cry Wolf”. I just had to know where Shelby and Austin’s story was going. The cover art for the novella was delightful and added a mist of mystery.
I was disappointed at how short the book was and was surprised at all the information that was packed into the pages. Heather Davis did an outstanding job and leaving such a cliff hanger at the end make me wonder if in her spare time she is toying with continuing the series.
I wasn’t surprised to learn that in this installment the step-which honey bun successfully separated Shelby from her father. I was a bit distorts that the abrupt separation of Austin and Shelby and was just as much an emotional wreck as Shelby.
I was elated to learn that it seems Austin after a bit of time started hanging around the perimeter of the school. Moreover it seems that Shelby has some newfound abilities and she must pay close attention to those around her to keep her secrete from coming to light.
On her own cut off from the world who can she trust? With people in place who can destroy Austin and cut off from the world who can she trust? What is more important friendship, love or loyalty?
Deep down I hope that Heather Davis continues this series my whole family has come to love.

Sometimes by Moonlight was better than it's prequel, which doesn't happen often.
There was an eerie setting and vibe throught and the ending had a twist I didn't expect, but enjoyed.
11 years have passed so I'm not going to finish the trilogy.

Thank You Heather Davis! This novella is a follow up to "Never Cry Werewolf". We finally get to find out what happens to Shelby and Austin. Austin the son of a rockstar and followed by tabloids and also happends to be a werewolf. Shelby saved Austin in the first book by helping him escape from 'brat camp' which blossomed into a relationship. During the escape, Austin accidently bites Shelby. I continued to wonder about that bite and what it would mean for Shelby. I wanted to know!! I am so glad Heather Davis when ahead and wrote this novella to satisfied my curiousity but now I want to know what will happen next. sigh! I recommend this if you enjoyed the first book as it will answer some lingering questions.

Lumina lunii e periculoasă. Până şi la o amărâtă de şcoală cu internat din Elveţia – unde toate sunt la fel de lipsite de gust ca şi laptele cu cereale servit la micul dejun – strălucirea seducătoare a lunii ascunde pericole. Umbrele prelungi ale plopilor aduc a stafii translucide pe zăpada proaspăt căzută. Hornuri de piatră se ridică asemenea unor garguie întunecate deasupra capetelor noastre. Peisajele familiare par ciudate şi prevestitoare de rău. Însă poate cea mai mare primejdie dintre toate este faptul că lumina lunii alungă intimitatea oferită de întuneric, scoţând la iveală lucruri care ar fi mai bine să rămână ascunse.
Într-o noapte rece de noiembrie, razele lunii pătrundeau pe fereastra dormitorului meu aflat în incinta Academiei de Fete Steinfelder. Ca de obicei în toamna aceea, m-am uitat lung la luna plină, făcându-mi griji pentru Austin Bridges al III-lea – cea mai periculoasă persoană pe care o cunoşteam eu –, întrebându-mă dacă şi el se gândeşte la mine.
E suficient de rău că majoritatea oamenilor îşi petrec viaţa căutându-şi adevărata mare dragoste, dar să dai de persoana iubită şi ea să se dovedească a fi vârcolac – un vârcolac care te lasă baltă şi dispare – mi se pare că atunci ai destule motive să faci depresie. Mai ales eu, Shelby Locke, trimisă cândva într-o tabără de reeducare şi ajunsă acum prizonieră într-un internat din Elveţia.
Stând în faţa ferestrei, scăldată în lumina melancolică, mi-am trecut degetul peste cicatricea de pe braţ – cicatricea pe care o căpătasem când îl ajutasem pe Austin să scape din Tabăra Semilunii, locul unde ne cunoscuserăm în iunie trecut. L-am ajutat atunci să pună în aplicare un plan de evadare, astfel încât secretul său legat de… blană să nu iasă la iveală, şi am plătit un preţ mult mai mare decât o rană deschisă – am plătit petrecând o vreme la Ferma Red Canyon, o tabără de instrucţie din deşert unde am stat tot restul verii. Însă tocmai când ajunsesem să cred că mai rău nu se poate, Austin a venit şi m-a salvat de plictiseala şi disperarea din timpul marşurilor, de săpatul latrinelor şi de frecatul permanent al ghetelor până ce ajungeau să strălucească.
Din nefericire, când vara s-a terminat, Austin a plecat în mare grabă cu avionul la Londra, unde avea un stoc interminabil de ser antitransformare, iar eu am fost trimisă colet la un rahat de şcoală pentru fete, construită din piatră şi înconjurată de munţi.
N-oi fi eu un geniu, dar am înţeles clar mesajul pe care mama mea vitregă, Iepuraşul, şi tata mi l-au transmis: ai să-ţi termini liceul într-o fortăreaţă izolată din Elveţia, departe de conacul nostru din Beverly Hills, departe de oraşul tău natal Milwakee, din Wisconsin, şi de orice prieten ai avut vreodată. Te vom ţine departe de toţi, căci ochii care nu se văd se uită. Tu nu exişti în realitatea noastră.
Iepuraşul şi tata nu ar fi putut alege un internat mai jalnic şi mai izolat nici dacă ar fi vrut. Un castel aflat sus în vârful unui munte, Academia de Fete Steinfelder era un fel de închisoare pentru fetele incomode ale clasei privilegiate. O închisoare pentru snoabe, tocilare, delincvente şi neînţelese. Eu mă încadram în ultima categorie pentru că, indiferent ce regulă încălcasem, o făcusem pentru că în acel moment considerasem că era spre binele tuturor. Din nefericire, faptul că-l ajutasem pe Austin m-a făcut ca până la urmă să par o delincventă mult mai rea decât fusesem de fapt. Aflasem pe pielea mea cum era când lumea se întorcea împotriva ta doar pentru că avusesei cele mai bune intenţii.

Primul roman nu m-a impresionat atat de mult..iar acesta are niste dimensiuni atat de skinny, precum blugii mulati de la Bershka. Eu ce sa zic? Nu stiu ce sa cred. Mi se pare ca acesta este mult mai reusit. E mai romantic si autoarea dse vede ca are un scris mai evoluat, desi incadrez aceasta serie in categoria medie: nici superbe, dar nici ingrozitoare.
Shelby a fost trimisa intr-o scoala-internat de fete intr-o pustietate, din dorinta clare a parintilor de a scapa de ea(sau mai mult a mamei sale vitrege afurisite,alintata Iepurasul). Colega ei de camera, o adolescenta frantuzoaica este de treaba, draguta si nicidecum infricosatoare. Sheby este ingrijorata...nu a mai primit o veste de la Austin de ceva timp si cand vede intr-o revista un poster cu el si printesa pop a momentului, plus un articol cum ca Austin ar fi iubitul vedetei lucrurile se complica. Atmosfera din scoala internat este cea cu care ne-am obisnuit in orice scoala in care actiunea se petrece acolo: mancarea este oribila, diirectoarea o afurisita.
Shelby incepe sa simta oarecum prezenta lui Austin: biletele semnate cu A, iar in textul lor este scris "Nu va mai dura mult" , i se pare ca vede umbre si crede ca este el... Plus mai este semnul in forma de semiluna de pe umarul ei care la lumina lunii simte ca o arde. Iese din scoala, intr-o noapte, pentru a-l gasi pe Austin, pentru ca daca el era acolo, in mod clar trebuia sa-l gaseasca. Ajunge la o casuta luminata unde gaseste blocul lui de desen cu un portret cu ea. Romantic... In acelas moment, Marie Rose(nu sunt sigura, am uitat cum o chama pe prietena ei :) ) vine sa o avertizeze ca directoarea vine sa verifice camerele, iar Shelby refuza sa vina. Trebuia sa-l astepte pe Austin.
Aparitia baiatului este plina de emotie, care surprinde. Toate semnalele pe care parca le simtise Shelby ca erau de Austin se dovedesc a fi false. Vestile socante pe care le primeste o demoralizeaza: mama ei vitrega, Priscilla este insarcinata, va deveni varcolac, si mai e si la un pas de moarte. Academia a apartinut unui om senil care fusese ca un fel de braconier, doar ca el omora si vana varcolacii. Semnele transformarii fetei apar: este somnambula si mananca carne cruda(in somn), are vederea, auzul, viteza mai ascutite, si luna plina se apropie cu brio. Tot ce poate spera Shelby este ca Austin sa aiba la el serul necesar, pentru a nu se transforma.
In plus, colega ei de camera, Marie-Rose, o urmareste tot timpul, si desi ea nu vrea sa ii spuna de ce, ii divulga macar faptul sa o protejeaza. Sa fie oare adevarat? Ce se va intampla mai departe?
Imi pare rau pentru ca recenzia mea este atat de scurta, insa nu vreau sa va stic surpriza, avand in vedere nr redus de pagini.

How should I put this... this kind of book, it isn't all that my cup of tea, if you know what I mean. What I liked best was the narration style, always one of the most important things I pay attention to. This style of hers - it's very rare, I think, so it makes it all the more delightful. I adored how Shelby thought of things, the way she worried and fought and the way she interacted... in short stories it's all about the character interaction after all, and perhaps dialogue (for what I believe are the obvious reasons). So, yes. Not an all time favourite but definitely not a waste of my time by any means.
(Although I did find a bit annoying how she's always so predisposed to think the worst of others, especially adults. Her relationship with her stepmother is, okay, alright - to a certain point but beyond that it's pure rudeness and stubborness, two things of which I am not fond of when combined. Open-mindedness, I say! This later changes when she becomes friendly with Mrs. Lemmon -- by the by, I found her boyfriend Massimo to be rather delightful, a funny and cute touch.) Austin's dad, too - and Austin himself, with his British accent and careful demeanor... he's a sweetheart, yes he is. I liked it very much. A worthy read.

I was so excited when I found out Heather was writing another book to go along with "Never Cry Werewolf". The first book was amazing and I fell in love with the characters. "Sometimes by Moonlight" was a great book. The relationship between Shelby and Austin grows even stronger in this book letting you get to know them even better. Werewolf books are a big thing now but I strongly recommend this book if you like a well written love story. I wish that it would have been a lot longer but that's what you get when it is self published to e-book. Saying that I enjoyed this book and hope that there will be another. For the price this book is totally worth it.So if you like the first one I say get this one.

The book was really light and easy to read. It was very strange to me to see that it is such a short book, but as I went on reading it I realized that the book couldn't have been longer.
As a continuation of the story Never cry Werewolf, the book continues the story of Shelby Locke, who is sent to a Swiss boarding school. Here she finds herself stranded not only from her family, but also from the one she loves, Austin Bridges the 3rd. Uncertain about his feelings and felling stranger by the day, Shelby doesn't know who to trust or what to expect to next. I guess that's what happens when you all in love with a Werewolf.

A second book as good as the first? Why yes, as a matter of fact, it was. This book was short, ninety pages or so, but it didn't bother me at all. It had a plot, lovely descriptions, characters that weren't whiny, and kisses that melt your socks. Or something. The gummy scene was SOOO gross. I loved it!
September 20, 2011
Interesting second book in the Never Cry Werewolf series. This would have done well as part of the original story but stands alone well. I liked that the characters are fleshed out and the story line is even more engaging in this second book. I think it strengthens the first book considerably. I'm looking forward to the next installation in the series.
January 14, 2013
This book was an incredible reading truly hope she does this trilogy is visible the main character went to a barrage of different emotions going about and enjoyed every moment on the love to see I had more interaction between the seven swords and the werewolves and an explanation of the vampire werewolf relationship and how does it plays with the mythology of werewolves and vampire
July 15, 2011
I loved the book I loved the twist about shelby I'm now Craving more of her and Austin. What will happen next? how bad was his wounds? whem will the next book be out? I'm addicted I want more Please Heather Write Fast!
December 17, 2013
This was okay... But the story is sadly still lacking depth. It was also kind of boring, nothing really happened. And why is it Austin's the one always getting hurt? ;) lol
WARNING: Do not buy this book on amazon like I did- totally not worth it :/
