Winter Moon

Grazi Kelly #4

by C.D. Gorri

"It was difficult to remember the girl I used to be when my Wolf instincts were at the forefront as they were now. I closed my eyes and counted backwards. A little calming technique Cara had told me in one of the rare moments during our training when she was not out for my blood. It was a useful tool. When I opened my eyes I could think more clearly. The footsteps were closer and any second their bearers would break from the stand of trees into the small clearing where I was being held.
I braced myself, but nothing could have prepared me for the sight that came next. Angela’s fiery red hair broke through the tree line followed by a tall mystery guy with dark hair and a limp Wolf in his arms. I knew that Wolf. It was Ronan.¶

It's St. Lucy's Day and the battle has begun! With her friends by her side, Maria Graziana Kelly has more than enough fire power to fight the Demon minions. But will she be able to reunite with her one true love? Will Grazi find out what it really means to be a Werewolf? Can she save her brother before it's too late? Find out in Winter Moon!

[Fizza · Rating 5 out of 5]

I loved this book. it is packed with action and kept me interested until the very end. I love Grazi Kelly's novels, each one is better than the previous and this one is just the best. The story flows smoothly and all the characters are simply amazing. This is the best paranormal novel I've read this year. A must read for all book lovers!

P.S. Detailed review to come. :)

[Fran Zoch, LSoR · Rating 5 out of 5]

action packed with true love to match, Grazia knows the battle is ahead but she just sees Ronan and their love that keeps her goong, the battle has to be won will their love make it to the end?

I love this book it kept me reading and I could not put it down

[Kelly Clare · Rating 5 out of 5]

This has to be my favorite installment of the Grazi Kelly series so far. The characters are so 3D. I'm a 6-7 books a week kind of reader, and when you do this only the best characters stay with you. Grazi is one of these characters. I feel like I've been waiting the entire series for her to develop and grow in the ways she has in Winter Moon. Yay!
I was very impressed with how we got little snippets of Angela. I wanted more of this in the story, but was appeased when I got to the end and saw the next part of this in the works.
Also, Ronan *fans face* - trust me.

[Lorraine · Rating 5 out of 5]

I have read books 1 to 4 of the Grazi Kelly series and have thoroughly enjoyed each of the books.

Thanks to C.D. Gorri's descriptive writing, I have got to know the characters very well and feel as though I have been beside them on every step of their journey.
I am going to miss them and will be waiting (im)patiently for the next installment.

[Kelly Tress · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wow this book was awesome! There was so much chaos going on. Not to mention a battle of epic proportions just waiting around the corner! I really hope you keep going with this series! I'd like to see what else happens going down the line.

[Linda Levine · Rating 5 out of 5]

I really enjoy this series about a young woman who is struggling with all the changes to her life since learning she is a wolf shifter and has quite a legacy ahead of her. Some thought they had her life planned out for her but she is learning how to stand up for herself and make her own choices.

You can expect a lot of action, surprises and a great romance as well. The books have been leading to this big battle. Ronan and Grazi continue to grow closer and really need each other to survive all the challenges. None of it is easy but it is all necessary to save her people from their enemies.

I highly recommend the series to young adults and adults. It is a well written series that will please both groups.

[Lenna Wright · Rating 4 out of 5]

Grazi is in a fight to save her family, friends and the world from the dark witches and their evil conjuring. Silver Wolf is more then anyone ever thought and how he ties into their curse. But with more battles under her belt at 16 and now the high council is out for her blood what more battles will she face ???

This book was given to me by the Author In Exchange For an Honest Review.

This was an incredible story! C.D. Gorri is one of the best when it comes to storytelling! I couldn't put the book down, as it was full of intrigue, suspense and drama as all great books are but Gorri goes above and beyond and creates a world that intensifies and excites as well as captures and grabs hold of you and doesn't let go until you are beginning for more!

I am a truly Huge fan of shifter lore and shifter stories and Gorri's Grazi series is one of amazing feats and adventure, twists and daring that I could never have imagined when I first started the series. I love it for its diverse characters and its complex world. No where else are you going to find such a world as this one!

With each and every book I learn to love Ronan more and more! every little thing he does for Grazi is amazing and the bond they form in this one is beyond! Ronan has been a favorite of mine from the start and I can't imagine one without the other, they are true mates the two of them and I can't ever believe she would ever think otherwise.

The St. Lucy's Day Battle really comes to a head in this one and all the demons, witches and shifters come out of the woodwork, and not everyone is on the sides they should be! we have some surprising allies and some surprising turn coats in this one. Gorri really knows how to hit us all in the gut with the big and bad...lol....the Angel faced Demon makes his appearance as well with some startling discoveries, but can he be trusted? he is a demon after all.

This book ends on a high note and I really hope that there will be another. Grazi's journey is a forever ongoing one and the books get better and better. Don't miss out on your chance to get in on the action and get your copy of the series today!

[Gabriela Soto · Rating 4 out of 5]

I have been waiting for the book to come out for ages ! I couldn't wait to find out what would happen to Grazi: would she and Ronan have their happily ever after? Would she be able to keep her friends and family safe ? Would she be able to break St. Natalis' curse? So yeah, I was thrilled when the book finally came out!
Winter Moon was packed with epic action and a thrilling battle at the end with just the right amount of romance to make me smile, "aww" and make me wish I had a Ronan of my own ;)
***spoilers***
I'm not giving it a 5/5 stars review because I felt that the end was a bit rushed. After Manuel tells Grazi that she's being arrested and then Seff walks in creating a distraction they slip away and escape ...? It was vague and rushed but I'm just glad there's gonna be a 5th book because I really do love the Grazi Kelly novels :)

[Virgen Caraballo · Rating 5 out of 5]

I was given this ARC copy by the Author in exchange for an honest review and I just loved reading this book just as much as her others in the series and so I gave it 5 stars.

The author C.D. Gorri has a great way of creating and writing amazing stories that they capture your attention from the beginning . This book is full of suspense and drama and love her diverse characters plus it has plenty of fighting action.

I love the way that Ronan had such a special bond with Grazi and that she realizes that they are truly ment to be true mates. They also have such an epic battle and not everyone survives, plus it also has some twists and surprises that you don't expect. I love reading this author's books and can not wait to see where she takes this story next.

Better and better

Another great book. Wondering how long the series will be. Wish the books weren't so far apart. Noticed a few grammatical errors in this one but they didn't take away from the storyline. Can't wait for the next one.

[Sheryl · Rating 5 out of 5]

I received an advanced copy of this book for an honest review. This is book 4 of the Grazi Kelly series.

Grazi and the others are about to battle the forces of evil and hopefully Grazi is strong enough to see the end of the battle with out getting killed. I love this book!

The Complete Grazi Kelly Novel Series – This is a new author for me and I don’t know why I decided to read this series. I could not put the books down. The conversational writing style and flow of storylines keep me glued to the pages. The author does a good job with her descriptions and the werewolves have an interesting twist. High schoolers aren’t an age group I care about reading, but I liked Grazi and found her interesting and mature for her age. I did not chain read this series but alternated with other books. I found this set of books on Booksprout. 4*

Wolf Moon #1 – Interesting and intriguing introduction to the storylines and characters. She’s 15-years-old but I like her maturity level; not too much of a stupid kid formula common in other stories. Grazi is likeable, maturing into an adult with all the worries and doubts a teenager experiences. At the same time, she shows resourcefulness, analytic abilities and a strong backbone. Her Grandmother is a perfect support character, while the other side of her family weighs more with character development. More comes out as the pages fly by and the little bit of violence is not graphic or gory; not nice, but not a Hollywood horror. The foundation is set and the storylines continue but without a cliffhanger ending. 4*

Hunter Moon #2 – This book picks up where Wolf Moon ends. Intriguing and full of suspense with more interesting characters added to the mix. The action is picking up and new storylines mess with the foundation. I had a big problem with the lowercase use of Mom(my), Dad(dy), Sister, Grandpa, Princess, street names, the States and others when these were used as names/titles. Where does this stupid rule come from, it is so common today and so disrespectful and intolerant. This proper noun misuse was so frequent that it took away from the story, interrupting the flow and taking me out of the story repeatedly. This book needs major editing for wrong and missing words and punctuation. 3*

Rebel Moon #3 - This book picks up where Hunter Moon ends. The prologue is interesting and a bit mysterious. New storylines blend in with the old, and more characters come into play. After suffering through the too long, mostly boring first chapter, there is plenty of action, intrigue and suspense as the pages quickly fly by. The storylines, new and old, merge into a suspense filled read. More secrets about Grazi surface and the reader’s suspicions about the boy and veiled woman are supported. More magic and more questions come from this substantial read. Minor editing needed. Rebel ends with a cliffhanger so have the next book ready. 4*

Winter Moon #4 – This book picks up where Rebel Moon ends. An enemy unexpectedly helps Ronan and Grazi. The pace moves well and gets faster as the pages fly keeping the reader immersed in the story. The storylines twist unexpectedly increasing the intrigue and the secrets keep spilling out. Good suspense. The characters keep getting better in growth and for a 16-year-old, Grazi is probably one of my top 40 favorite characters that I have the pleasure to read, and I’m not into this age group. This is my favorite book of the series so far. I enjoy reading the work of Ms. Gorri. 4*

Chasing The Moon #5 – Life stepped in and I was not able to read books 5 and 6 by the due date. I will update my review for these two books.
Blood Moon #6

Just gets better!

Grazi has a lot of friends who helped her to win th e Battle of St. Lucy's Day. Rafe is the Alpha of the Macawood Pack. So he brought his wolves along to fight. So Dal and his vampire clan. Her friend Angela showed up with get guardian Jody. They are white witches. Then the Romani who are Gypsies of old. They were all fighting Dark witches trying to bring back a very strong demon called Molloch. Also the evil vampires and attacking tree's. Out girl Grazi is getting stronger every day and getting more powers. Ronan is there and they now realize they are mates. Love is is in the air. Now there on the run. Let's see what happens in book 5. This author never falls with these good writings. Thank you.

O.M.G. !! The Grazi Kelly series gets more amazing with each book !! Angela was back and there are no more secrets between them !! Ronan and Grazi are back on track , but the Hounds and the Church are having a tough time due to all of the lies the Church is telling and hiding from others . Read this series in order , perfect for ages 13+, no sex, but definitely a lot of violence and magic . 5⭐'s for CD Gorri, I can't wait for the next book !!

[Tanya · Rating 5 out of 5]

it was hard for her to focus when her wolf was in the front of her mind. she remembered the trick she had been told to help. she did it she heard footsteps which came closer to where she was being held. she is shocked to see who it is and who was being carried. how will things change? can she save him and herself? see what will happen

Review

I love this series. Read the first 4 books so far. The writing was fantastic n realistic. I felt I was there with them. Thank you so much .

[E.A. · Rating 5 out of 5]

( I received this book free from the author in exchange for my honest review )

I don’t know what to say, the way I feel about this book is something I have yet to sort out in my head. To be honest this book has surpassed the other instalments not only in story telling and plot, but in characters.

We’re giving a look into Ronan’s head, he’s fight and his love for Grazi. In my option, I felt that he grew the most. He transcended from a angry teen boy who didn’t like not getting his way, to a man. He learned to put aside his own prejudice and listen. That’s a hard thing to do when you’re condition to believe in something without question. The council be damned, I’m hoping that they get eaten or better yet one of them gets turned and kills the rest. Burn Mother fuckers, burn

Grazi came into her own, she finally excepted who and what she is and, I was happy to read less about her putting herself down and more about how she was going to kill the witches. She grew up, she stopped making decision based around teenage ageist and stated looking at the situation like adult, thus making adult decisions. She stuck her to beliefs, her reasons and in the end the most important thing, she made a decision and stuck with it. One of the most important things when becoming a leader. She’s the start of something amazing, and I can’t wait to see where this story takes her.

The ending, my god, I nearly died. I can’t give anything away, but damn it, I had a feeling something similar would happened involving her brother, but not what C.D. Gorri conjured up. In truth it was bittersweet, but in saying that, it’s a open ending with so many questions yet to be answered. This is not the last we’ll see of Grazi.

There is also a surprise treat, so if you haven’t read Casting Magic yet, I highly recommend you do. *wink, wink ;)

I’m not going to over annualize this book, as it isn’t just a stand alone but a part of three other books that holds a key to the next. This book is magical, original and simply put, a hidden gem.

I recommend this series to everyone, this story isn’t a cookie cutter copy of YA that’s been littering our books stores. You’ll get lost in Grazi’s world, you will invest in her world like none other; seeing what she sees and feeling what she feels. Take a chance on this one of a kind read, you will not be disappointed.

Happy Reading

-E.A. Walsh

Now what????

OK. I have to admit, I was surprised with the ending. Silverwolf wasn't who I thought he was. Part of me was kind of hoping he was Grazi's dad...but he isn't. Overall, I
