Wolf Moon Rising
Clare Sorenson has a boyfriend, but there is something so very intriguing about her new next-door neighbor. She's never seen anyone with eyes so — golden. Those eyes rendered her speechless. Pale skin, unruly dark curls, and the lean, wiry body of a distance runner don't hurt, either. Soon the high school senior is falling head over heels for the mysterious Nicholas. She'll risk everything to be with him.
But something isn't right in the small town of Hadley. It begins with ravaged livestock and rumors of wolves. Clare begins to suspect that Nicholas knows much more than he's willing to admit. How many gruesome deaths will it take before she confronts him -- and discovers his true nature? And can love survive that terrible truth?

The story was great! I really liked the characters and their strengths and flaws. The writting wasn't that powerful though. It seemed a little weak and nerving. The descriptive detail was excellent though! The detailed examples of Clare's sights, thoughts and fears were well texted. However the end of the book was a little too abrupt leaving me dissatisfied.

A nice, short read with surprisingly good character development.
I enjoyed the romance, since it wasn't over-the-top like a lot of these pnr books are.
Clare was enjoyable, you really felt for her hardship and how she dealt with things. Nicholas was a strong character as well.
Again, it was a good were/shifter read.

Good book - short and the ending didn't quite make it for me. Hope there is another to finish off the story of Nicholas and Clare.

Wolf Moon Rising turned out to be one of the more surprising books that I've read so far this year. Usually if a book is under 150 pages I'm not likely going to enjoy it but when I got this as a Kindle freebie last week I had a feeling about it.
Right away I was taken in by Miranda Simon's story of Clare Sorenson and the new boy in town, Nicholas Hadley. I was surprised by how much I liked both of the main characters because usually in shorter books there isn't quite enough character development but this one didn't have that problem whatsoever.
Clare was such a super sweet and caring girl I couldn't help but feel bad for her loss over the suicide of her mother several months before the events in the book took place. She was totally devoted to her father and she wasn't a brain dead heroine at all and I was glad to see the author gave her some smarts.
As for Nicholas, I thought he was a jerk in the beginning when he was so rude to Clare when she was just trying to be friendly but he grew on me even though his denial about his father's wolfish tendancies being as bas as they were annoyed me a lot. He did love his little sisters with all his heart and I loved how selfless he was for them.
The other characters in the book were minor but they also had good character development and I didn't have any real issues with them. I thought that Nick's father was a major nutter and for me there was no love lost between him and I. Especially after reading about how he treated his family.
The plot of the book was very good as well. I liked that it wasn't your standard young adult romance novel and that while there was romance it wasn't all sappy like the kind a reader of the genre would typically find, especially in such a short book. I thought the plot was well developed and I was very pleased with how the overall story played out and thought it was a really enjoyable read. My only issue is that the author seemed to leave it on a bit of a cliffhanger so I'm hoping that she does pen a sequel since I'd really like to see how things with Nick and Clare turn out after things ended the way they did with Nick's dad and the killing of livestock.
Overall, Wolf Moon Rising was a surprisingly detailed and well written 125 page novel and left me wanting to read more by Miranda Simon. I'm very glad I picked this Kindle freebie up when I did and very glad I gave it a try.
I would recommend Wolf Moon Rising to fans of young adult shape shifter novels. Unlike many books in the genre I thought this one stood out as a shining example of how well a book of it's nature can turn out. Plus if you're looking for a quick read this is a great book to pick up.

This book felt like it was short, it was actually kind of predictable with what was going to happen.
Clare is a ranchers daughter and is working at a vet's office. When she hears about getting new neighbors she's excited to hear about having one near her age. Then the animals on the farm start getting attacked and killed.
This book was ok, it wasn't my favorite but I didn't hate it either. It felt like at parts it was dragging soo slow. I felt bad for Brendan, he seemed like a good guy, I felt like she broke up with him and quickly started to date someone else really quickly. My favorite characters were the twins they made me laugh at times, they were pleasant to read about. If there is a sequel to this book I think I might read it. However I wouldn't really recommend this book unless you like a predictable werewolf book.

It was good, but I have absolutely no idea what to think about what happened to the MC's.I mean, no clue whatsoever. I wish the author might drop by and let us know if there was going to be a sequel, because then the ending would make sense. I would definitely read it. Or even just to tell us what SHE thinks happened to the MCs. I hate getting to the end of a book and not grasping the ending at all.
Please Ms. Simon - let us know!

To me it wasn't a great book but I couldn't seem to stop reading it.

It had addicting properties, I couldn't stop reading it but it was a bad book, in the sense. It was way too teenish and unbelievable, even for a werewolf story.

I loved it, it was rather short I'm just wondering if there will be a sequel to it :)

Young love:
Being a teen is hard, having to keep a secret that could endanger a community-is even harder. Love! that is what it takes.
