About this ebook
Rylie Gresham has enjoyed two peaceful years as Alpha of the last werewolf pack in existence. But she's feeling kind of confused. Her boyfriend, Seth, has been away at college, and her feelings for his brother, Abel, have been growing as they run the pack together.
Everything gets a lot more complicated when someone sends her a silver bullet and a threatening message. It throws her into a deadly battle with enemies old and new, which is only slightly less perilous than the battle inside her heart. Sooner or later, she's going to have to choose: will she marry Seth, or follow her feelings for Abel?
This is a collection of the first four episodes of The Cain Chronicles, a serialized novel. It amounts to approximately 65,000 words. If you've read episodes 1-4 before, there's nothing new here. If you're just joining the story -- enjoy! :)
NEW MOON SUMMER
Rylie is Alpha: the leader of the werewolves. They're an endangered species living in a sanctuary, and she's guarded them for two peaceful years. The peace is shattered when somebody sends Rylie a threatening silver bullet. A new member of the pack goes missing. And to make things worse, her inner wolf is strangely attracted to her boyfriend's brother, leaving her torn between the love of two men--one of them a werewolf, and the other a former hunter.
BLOOD MOON HARVEST
Rylie's home has been turned into a battle zone by attacking hunters--and by her conflicted heart. Her wolf and human sides are in love with different men, and neither Seth nor Abel will give Rylie up without a fight. To save her pack, Rylie will have to find out who Cain is. To save herself, she'll have to choose between the man she wants and the man she needs.
MOON OF THE TERRIBLE
Abel is struggling to find his footing at the werewolf sanctuary when he receives terrible news: the girl he loves and his brother have vanished. Seth calls to claim that they're eloping, but Abel knows it's a lie. There's no way that Rylie would get married without telling him. Not when the memory of her scorching kiss is still burning on his lips. Certain that something is wrong, Abel drops everything to rescue Rylie and Seth--and stake his claim over his mate.
RED ROSE MOON
Rylie Gresham, Alpha of the endangered werewolf species, is pregnant. The fact that she's only eighteen and maybe a tiny bit in love with her boyfriend's brother isn't even the worst part: the baby is going to be a werewolf, too. Certain that Seth is the father, she finally agrees to marry him, even if her heart is still filled with doubt.
Abel is being held captive by Cain when he hears about Rylie's condition--and the shocking circumstances surrounding the conception. Rylie and Abel have been mating on the full moons, so there's a chance that he's the father, and she has no clue. Now Abel has to escape Cain and crash the wedding before his mate marries his brother.
A zombie mother-in-law, back-stabbing hunters, and wicked morning sickness mean that they're all in for one heck of a party.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A very sweet story. I enjoyed meeting the characters in this short story. There is just enough story to get the reader intrigued and want to know more. I am looking forward to the next installment.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I received New Moon Summer for free in exchange for an honest review- so here goes.I think that the author is a good writer and I enjoyed the story. I loved that there was action mystery and a bit of a love triangle. I personally need the main female character to be a bit stronger- she is the alpha but doesn't really seem strong/confident enough to totally pull off that role. However- the biggest problem for me was the abrupt ending with no conclusion- even in a series to be continued I don't like there to be no conclusion. That being said I did like this story enough to check into purchasing the other stories- but it appeared like this one that there was no set storyline or plan from the author (the author asked for opinions on where the story should go next from her readers). This is probably great for some people who will love having some say- I however will wait until the story seems to be concluded and then buy the rest to read.I did however enjoy the story very much right up until the end so if that massiave cliffhanger is your still and you are into werewoves and such you will love this story.I hope to read the rest one day as well.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I fell in love with this story with the first book. Though they could be read separately, I highly recommend the series. I loved all of the characters. It takes a lot for me to get "involved" with characters but I had no problems with this series. I kept making noises through them all. My Husband had to turn up the television. I know its bad, but I'm rooting for Abel!!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I didn’t realise when I started reading this book that it was only going to be the first part of a longer story, so the ending was a little more abrupt than I would have liked. I wanted to know what happened next as there were a few plot developments that had started that I was interested in seeing how they ended. What I did read I really enjoyedso I’d recommend this book, but I’d say get the next ones as well, so the story has a conclusion. On what I’ve read so far, 4/5.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I received New Moon Summer in return for an honest review from a Librarything give-away. Rylie is the Alpha werewolf leader of the werewolves and fresh out of high school. She lives on a ranch which is really a werewolf sanctuary which she has guarded for two years with the help of her boyfriend and his brother. Seth has headed away to college so Rylie’s closest friend is Abel who happens to be Seth’s older brother. Seth isn’t a werewolf but a hunter which is attuned to living werewolves. However his brother Abel is a werewolf and Rylie’s second in command plus her wolf is attracted to him. With the return of Seth Rylie receives a cryptic note along with a silver bullet but she assumes it’s from Seth. Abel heads off into town to pick up a new wolf that will be staying at the sanctuary only to find out that the wolf wasn’t on the plane as expected. Scott the one in charge of the sanctuaries and handles all the business that the wolves may need like travel, hotels, and anything else that comes up. When he learns that the wolf is missing he sends Seth to find him before he returns home to the ranch for the summer. When Rylie doesn’t hear from Seth after several days she decides to go find him taking along his brother to protect her. When they find Seth they learn that there is more going on than a missing wolf and that the bullet wasn’t from him. I’ve not read any of S.M. Reine’s books before but I love a good werewolf story. It’s a fast paced story only fifty pages but it’s easy to be sucked in and left wanting more. I wish I knew more about Rylie so maybe I should have read her other series first but it’s not the first time I’ve read out of order. I’ve already added the original Seasons of the moon series to check out and learn more about Rylies back story. I like the concept of the sanctuary for the wolves as well as the idea of the hunters. I really enjoyed the story I just want more and wish I had read the books that have the start of who and how Rylie became a werewolf .
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Received this book via LibraryThing.com member giveaway for an honest review.
This novella was about 48 pages on my eReader. The story was a bit choppy at the beginning and it felt like I started reading a story of characters that were already developed from another book. So for these reasons I wasn't too happy. By the end of the short novella, I did get interested in the characters but I don't like that the author is asking for comments on how to write the ending of these characters tales. For me and based on these reasons, it was a waste of time reading this. If this novella is based on already existing books, I'd recommend updating the end of this book by removing where the author asks for 'feedback' on the storyline and only recommend this book to those that may be familiar with the characters. Otherwise, as it currently is, I would not recommend. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Great start to a novella werewolf series. Also good choices for the names of all the characters. Really wish it was a full-length novel, but part two should prove to be interesting. Good idea utilizing the Cain/Abel/Seth story. Likeable MC, but maybe she will be stronger in next one. Loved Abel.LT Member Giveaways[book:New Moon Summer|16064710][author:S.M. Reine|4721318]
