Complete Complete, First published Jun 06 Elanor belongs to the Moon Mist pack and is happy going to school, anxiously waiting for her 18th birthday when she'll be able to finally turn into her wolf.

That is until the King of all Lycan packs descends on her little village to discuss war tactics with the Alpha. A strange feeling rises in the pit of her stomach. A feeling she's never had before.
H. L. is a lover of almost all things written. She grew up never knowing that she wanted to be a writer. It came about one rainy afternoon while she was home with her twin boys. Bored while the kids she picked up her laptop and set about writing her first manuscript. Five years later Rebel Ink took their chances with the crazy sports girl from the steel city.
Her stories tend to write themselves. She never knows just where they're going or what's going to happen. On more than one occasion the characters have surprised even H. L. There are times though when she has to tell the crazy personalities that form on her laptop to chill out, but she has fun with them.
I had a lot of fun reading this. I loved the story, the world and the werewolf lore. I loved reading about Ellie and Ash setting out on an adventure together even before the twists and turns began. Scary bad guy, really cool premise, and as I said, just a fun book.
Unfortunately the writing itself was where the book needed improvement. The descriptions were lovely but the pacing was off - it needed to slow down and be padded out a little in my opinion. The dialogue was too intense also, and needed some action and descriptions to break it up a bit. There were a few times I lost track of who was saying what.
I wonder if the author tried to fit in too much into one story because the word count was getting away from her or something. I could even see this being slowed down and made into two books.
That being said I still recommend it to werewolf fans and Greek god fans.

My Review:
Moon Born is a great story, I believe that is better suited for late teens. There are some romantic moments, however, the story is written in a way that would relate more to that age group. I was given an unedited version of Moon Born to read and although I rate it as a 3.5 star, I believe once it is edited it will likely become a 4 star for teens. Moon Born is full of challenges and decisions to make that keep the story alive and draws readers in. A great monster vs. wolves story.
I first read this on Wattpad and absolutely LOVED it. It's a great story and I ended up buying the extended edition on Amazon. The extra chapter and extended scenes makes it even better!
The story follows a Beta's daughter after she has her heart broken and is betrayed by her own sister! She travels through the packs as mysterious creatures attack. She does find her mate and saves the world, but not alone. She has an awesome best friend, a Greek Goddess and it's just...you have to read it!
Elanor "Ellie" is from The Moon Mist pack anxiously awaiting her eighteen birthday. But nothing goes to plan and Ellie decides to leave Moon Mist for awhile. Ellie along with her best friend Ashley travel towards the royal city. Strange occurrence keep happening to Ellie. What are these occurrences? Will Ellie find her mate? Find out in Moon Born.
I don't think this is the Amazon version that I read. It says Wattpad.
But the version I read was incredible. The story keeps you on the edge of your seat from start to finish and really pulls you into the emotions that Ellie is feeling.
