Shadow on the Moon, by Connie Flynn, is one of the best Werewolf stories I have ever read. Her description of the rituals used to make, and to release from the spell of making, a werewolf are believable, and powerful. The story line is great: a dedicated Wolf Woman seeking to protect an endangered species from predatory humans becomes caught up in a prophecy of hope by one extremely unhappy werewolf. Morgan was led to and entrapped into his present life by his investigation began by professional curiosity. When he learns that werewolves are all to real, and what their lives are truly like, he develops a self-loathing that almost makes him incapable of initiating the relationship that is necessary to free himself from the spell cast upon him.Dana, drawn to wolves from her childhood, is there to protect a pack of wild wolves from being slaughtered by a trigger-happy posse. She must find this pack first, and protect them! That Morgan, the unhappy werewolf, finds her trapped in her truck and saves her life, engenders her gratitude and kind feelings toward him, but his continued delays about taking her back bring confusion and then anger at feeling trapped and maybe held prisoner.Each has emotional baggage from previous experiences, each has fears about the feelings they begin to have for one another, yet their love grows like another wild thing - independent of any nurturing, and incapable of being killed by neglect and misunderstanding.I can't wait to begin reading Shadow of the Wolf, the next book in the series!
