Three by Moonlight: A Collection of Werewolf Tales
Three By Moonlight: A collection of werewolf tales is a collection of three stories, each following the struggles of their hero as they navigate a world of werewolves and magick, one often hostile to their continued breathing, much less their man on man relationships.
Brennen juggles having a boyfriend, being a newly minted teenaged witch, and his first encounter with the werewolves in his home town.
Duke, on the other hand, is not just a mage, but also the mate to the sexy and powerful alpha of the local pack. So what does it take to keep even a small part of his life normal?
Justin ran away from home when his drunk father nearly beat him to death. Now, after being rescued from the streets and addiction by the handsome werewolf Aiden, he returns home to reconnect with his sister and brother, but has to deal with the lingering emotions for his former lover, a local bruiser named Mickey.

2.5 stars. Brennen and the Wolf
A sixteen-year old witch, Brennen, lives with his Grandmother, a witch for hire. A wolf pack killed a human, and the Grandmother is hired to eliminate all traces of the crime so that the supernatural world isn’t exposed. Brennen and his boyfriend Mason tag along to learn the trade. Then the wolves have a problem with gays, and attack.
The same problem plagues all the short stories in this anthology. We get a meaningless glimpse into these people’s lives and the world filled with supernatural beings. When the story starts, we get descriptions of what’s happening, but not showing. By the end, we’re none the wiser. This story in particular had no point to it whatsoever, just a bigoted attack on teenager gay boys by adult wolves. The ending is abrupt, and we’re given nothing. Disappointing and silly to the point of gagging.
Werewolf Troubles
Duke works in an office with the pack he’s a part of, being the mate of an alpha, Eyulf. Then a small band of poor, uneducated wolves from the hicks show up and try to challenge Eyulf’s leadership—while simultaneously having a huge problem with gay wolves. Again. Duke is a mage, so he can hold his own.
This theme of wolves hating gays gets old fast. Were there no other themes to choose from? Again, we’re given a useless glimpse into the fascinating life of supernatural beings—and left without anything concrete to enjoy. And the romances in this anthology are like an afterthought, with no real connection between the heroes, no passion, no love that we’re shown, not even a kiss, so this isn’t even an erotic romance—or romance of any kind. It’s all about the heated words between the heroes’ pack and bigoted other pack. No point, yet again. Forgettable.
Love Lost And Found
Justin was hurt badly by his father, so he left home, became a hustler for bad guys, and was saved by a werewolf, Aiden. Now Justin returns home to help his family. He reconnects with an old closeted fling, Mickey, when they’re attacked by the bad guys wanting Justin back to his hustling. But Justin has some magical powers of his own.
The trouble with these short stories is that, while the writing is very good, these are too short to form any kind of connection with the characters. And just when we start understanding the world created here, the story ends. It’s frustrating to the extreme. Any of these would have worked wonders had they been made into full novels, with depth of plot, world, and heroes. As is, this story is another one without anything substantial to connect with. We don’t get to know what happened in Justin’s past or why he’s come back home, let alone who the bag guy is, and again the romance between Justin and Aiden is like it was slapped on at the last minute. So disappointing because this writer could write exciting, fascinating stories if he went for longer storytelling. But… There are far better werewolf anthologies out there than this.
