My Review: Going into Alpha Moon, I had a feeling that I would enjoy it because I love werewolves. Also, I like period pieces. Alpha Moon is a very quick read as it is a prequel to the Silver Moon series. I do not think that I should have read Alpha Moon first because I did not understand how the events in this story fit in with the rest of the series based on the descriptions of the other novels. I did not understand the relationship between Ulric and Daciana. I think they fell in love extremely quickly and it did not seem fully developed. They went from Daciana yelling at Ulric and them not really knowing each other to them calling each other "dear" and instantly in love. Also, Daciana appears to be an extremely spoiled brat. She does have the culture shock of going from London to a small farm town; however, I think she could have handled it a lot better. She instantly has a bad attitude about  everything in Colchester and insults the town and its people. I did enjoy Alaric and Lavenia and I would have liked to see more of their relationship. Due to this novella's quick pace I do not think the aspect of Ulric and Daciana becoming werewolves was fully developed. I think they were just told that they will turn into wolves and that's it. I think this story could have been a lit longer.Quick View: Overall I did like Alpha Moon. I think for a prequel/novella it is still very short and could have more detail. I also think reading the rest of the Silver Moon series is necessary to fully understand the events in this prequel. I give Alpha Moon 3.5-4 stakes(stars) because I did like it but it was a little hard to follow.
