***I was given this copy of Cold Moon Rising in exchange for my open and honest review ***In Cold Moon Rising Sarah Makela brings us back into her world of paranormal romance, where anything can happen and surprises hide behind every door.This story introduces us to Kelly and Jacob, two college students who both have their own secrets, and their struggle to have a relationship together.Kelly is a shy, innocent and slightly insecure woman who is head over heels in love with her best friend, and study partner Jacob. For ever a year Jacob had been the one consistent piece of Kelly’s life, he had been her rock and her sounding-board.  Kelly fights an internal battle with her intense ever-growing feelings for Jacob.Not only is Jacob smart, funny, and handsome head over heels in love with Kelly, but he has an internal battle going on within his own mind and body; he’s a werewolf.One night when a study session turned make-out session gets very hot and heavy between them Kelly (unsure about her readiness to take the next step in a physical relationship) freaks out and pushes Jacob away.This turns out to be just the first fight Kelly and Jacob will endure, as a case of mistaken identity lead to Kelly being kidnapped and Jacob as the only witness to this crime, as become her only hope of getting out alive. Kelly who was clueless about Jacob’s animal side existed, gets a crash course in the world of the things to go bump in the night and howl at the moon, when she’s bitten by a werewolf. Now Jacob faces a giant battle to try and get them both out of their unidentified nemesis’s hands.Now Jacob’s soul goal has just become getting Kelly out and away from danger alive and by his side.I give Cold Moon Rising a total of four and a half stars because of the ending. Unfortunately it’s very abrupt and doesn’t even have a clear cliff-hanger. It just ends. I would recommend this book if you are looking for a good, fun, emotionally intense read and don’t mind an abrupt ending.So buckle up and join Jacob and Kelly in this action packed short story full of love, butt-kicking survival skills and intense attraction.
