Paranormal readers, if you are looking for a new werewolf series, look no farther than the Moon Rising series. This book is emotional, well-written, and completely absorbing.  Harvest Moon Rising is the outstanding sequel to New Moon Rising. Oftentimes, sequels are never as good as the original, but in this case, I fell in love with the series and I can't wait for book 3.Cari now knows the town secret and she is embroiled in the towns problems whether she had wanted to be or not. So, when a new group comes to town, Cari is involved. When an old enemy comes back seeking vengeance, Cari has more than enough on her plate. Cari is suddenly in charge of an errant teenage girl, confused about her relationship with her ex-husband, determined to heal old wounds against the town's wishes, and still reeling from grief.The town is once again in trouble, but with Cari's help, they have new allies. I really love the new characters, especially LaLa. She proves to be a good friend for Cari, she is funny and there for Cari when she needs help. The more the story went on, the more upset I got with the townspeople and with Mike (Cari's ex). No one stops to consider how Cari feels or how their decisions affect her. Cari is such an awesome heroine, she doesn't put up with crap, she's tough, but she is also human. She has been very hurt, and I easily identified with her story. I believe her emotions, they are complex but real.There is a lot that goes down in Harvest Moon Rising, there really is never a dull moment. Cari starts realizing that the town, and her ex, do not have her best interests at heart. Cari's world is turned from a quiet peaceful place, to a life filled with vicious violence. By the time the book came to an end, I felt like I had been on that emotional roller coaster with Cari.Harvest Moon Rising is a strong continuation in an outstanding series. LM Pruit is an amazing storyteller who writes with depth and feeling. I can not wait for book 3, I am excited to see where Cari goes next.Readers, if you like paranormal and werewolf books, the Moon Rising series is a "must-read" series. It has been awhile since I have enjoyed a series this much, I recommend giving it a try.* I received this book for review*
