‘Cold Moon Rising’ by Sarah Makela is Book 1.5 in the Cry Wolf series. I received a copy of this book in return for an honest review.Okay, that said, let me say that I really enjoy Ms. Makela’s writing style. I truly appreciate learning the thoughts and feelings of both MCs in a romance story, and Ms. Makela is amazing at switching the POV back and forth between the two (without having separate books to do it). She also takes her time in letting the reader learn new tidbits of information about the characters, so we are left making judgments about the characters and then we end up having to revise our opinions. I think I actually liked it done this way, because that is how we interact with people in our real lives.The plot was a different take on the scenario of experimenting on shifters for the purpose of scientific or financial gain or as a power play. It started with a bang and intensified from there until the end of the book. Was it a cliff-hanger? Yes. Could the story have been finished in this short novella? Absolutely not. With the twists and turns in the plot, there is still a lot of ground to cover before the story can be resolved, and I have a feeling that Ms. Makela will deliver everything that we readers need for closure to Kelly’s and Jacob’s story in the near future. Do I want to know the conclusion of this story? You better believe it!I thoroughly enjoyed ‘Cold Moon Rising’ and I recommend it to anyone who loves a good paranormal romance.
