I 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 .
