All Hallows' Moon by S.M. Reine
4.0
I was about as impressed with this book as its predecessor. Like "Six Moon Summer," this book also has several moments of too-fast-paced scenes that I wish would have been expanded upon. Also, her first chapter in these last two books have been more of a Prologue than a beginning chapter, since they take place in the future. This bothers me quite a bit, especially since Reine gives no clear indication of the scene taking place in the future, nor the transition to present-day.
Another thing I had a problem with was the random changes of character POV. I could never tell just when it would change and it took me a while to catch on, especially since this didn't occur at all in the first book except for the very end. I wish there would be more of a distinction between view changes.
Despite all these things, there was a lot to like about this book. Especially the multitude of new characters. Rylie has made some new friends, one of which is especially helpful when Rylie is most in need of the aid. Tate is a pothead and not the brightest kid at school, but his concern for Rylie is genuine, and he does what he can to keep Rylie safe and offer her a safe haven when the hunters come looking for her. He's a sweet kid at heart.
I also am kind of starting to like Seth's messed up brother Abel. He's growing on me. The guy is still a creepy/violent SOB, though. Ain't NOTHING changing that. I admired the loyalty he had to his brother, though, and his decision to leave his horrible mother in the end. RESPECT.
I hope to see all of these wonderfully amazing characters and more in the next addition of the Seasons of the Moon Series. Also more werewolves!! I want another perspective on being a werewolf and their interactions with Rylie; How is she different/the same as other wolves? What makes Rylie unique?
