See all formats and editions

It's been almost a year since Rylie Gresham was bitten by a werewolf on Gray Mountain. Now something is beckoning her back to the place she was attacked, along with every other werewolf in the world. But they aren't the only ones heeding the call. A group of hunters notices them gathering and sees it as their chance to wipe out the entire species.

Seth is about to graduate high school when he learns of the final hunt. He secretly plans to save Rylie and his werewolf brother even though he has to play along with the hunters to do it. But Rylie doesn't want to be saved. She's already decided to solve her problems with a silver bullet if answers aren't waiting on Gray Mountain.

One way or another, everything is about to end—whether it means Rylie's liberation or the end of her life…

About the Author

Hi everyone! My name is Sara, and I write paranormal novels as SM Reine. I collect swords, cat hair, and typewriters (which I do use for writing!). It's a good day when those three things have nothing to do with each other. If you would like to know the instant my next book is available, you should enlist in my Army of Evil! We have a WICKED cool secret handshake, but you'll have to sign up to learn it. ;) Check it out -- smarturl.it/armyofevil

A few fun facts about me:
- The #1 song on the day I was born was "Never Gonna Give You Up" by Rick Astley, which means my life is a Rickroll.
- I have three black cats and one black dog, but it's not an obsession, I swear.
- I am a full time writer these days, which means I will never wear a pair of heels to the office again. Viva la sweatpants!

FYI: I am a super-prolific author of many series, most of which occur in the same universe. Characters and events overlap. It's sort of like how Iron Man and Captain America have their own movies, but sometimes get together for the Avengers. You can start with any of my series that look interesting to you, or you can read all of them!

I recommend reading The Descent Series, the Cain Chronicles, The Ascension Series, A Fistful of Daggers, War of the Alphas, and The Mage Craft Series for the "core" story of my books.

Happy reading!

A story that came full circle

Reviewed in the United States on January 28, 2013

"This book is good so far too! I'm really angry at the end of chapter 7 though! I'm sure the book will turn that around soon:)"
"So good!! I love how everything is being brought full circle. oh and loving Abel more by the chapters:)"
This book was the perfect ending to a great series. I loved Riley, Seth, Abel and Gwen.
The way the author made all the werewolves included in this one was awesome. There is a lot going on in this book and I am so glad I got to stay up all night and read it;)
I was so sad to read the end to all the characters! It was kind of like when your favorite tv show gets cancelled. But alas, S.M. Reine has written a spin off series!!! **eep**
I'm off to get the next series in Riley's story!!!!

I'm not the only person who puts off reading the final book in a series because they don't want the world to end, am I? I've really enjoyed Rylie's journey as she struggles to come to terms with her power as a werewolf and I didn't want to let it go. I mean, Rylie's a mess. After what she did in book 3, she's eaten up by guilt and fear and it's not pretty. The Sanctuary was supposed to be a place for her to find a balance and learn to control her wolf and yet, after several months of being there, she's still just as volatile as she was when she ran from her Aunt's farm.

I did love seeing how Abel's come to accept his wolf-y side. He was... not my favorite character in previous books yet he stepped up to the plate and protected Rylie when she was at her lowest. Seth... Oh, Seth. He should get an award for dealing with his crazy mom. That woman is INSANE. And not the good type of insane, either. She's bullets and knives, festering hatred and cunning. She's scary. That Seth willingly puts himself in proximity to her because it's the only way he can get to Rylie says a lot about his mental and emotional fortitude.

I do have to mention that I might be the slowest person on the planet not to realize that this series and S.M. Reine's Descent series share the same world. The Union is becoming a force to be reckoned with (in all the wrong ways) and both Seth and Elise Kavanagh (from the Descent series) have powers that normal people don't. I honestly love this sort of world cross-over. It's delicious.

This was a wonderful and fitting end to the overall arc and I'm pleased as punch to know that there's a follow-up series out there now (Seasons of the Moon: Cain Chronicles). More werewolves! Yes!

It was a fun series to read

Reviewed in the United States on October 3, 2012

I got the whole series on sale and found the books to be pretty enjoyable. they were fun and easy to read. this final book in the series was predictable but I am happy how it ended. Since the books were predictable, the added foreshadow of one the scenes at the end of the book was unnecessary and actually made me enjoy the book a little less. This happened in all of the books in the series but was more of an issue to me in the last two books.

I tried to not write many spoilers but that was hard to do so I apologise in advance as I just had to get it out. Desperate and scared, Riley agrees to flee with Scott to the werewolf sanctuary for everyone's safety. Now that Abel has transformed also, he decides to accompany her and they leave Seth behind at the ranch. Depressed over her lack of control of her wolf, Riley struggles with the guilt of killing all those people although being poisoned with silver contributed to the situation. Alone without Seth to ground her she punishes herself by staying locked up and her shame is so great that she seriously considers ending it, once and for all. Having visions of Gray Mountain hindering her dreams, Riley realises that when Bekah disappears that all the werewolves are being drawn back to the mountain sharing the same visions and magnetic pull towards it. As the full moon approaches it is a game of cat and mouse, the hunters are on the trail and killing off all the werewolves in their path. Who or what is drawing them to the mountain and will they live long enough to find out. Abel grudgingly becomes one of her pack and I wonder if his feelings run deeper than he lets us believe. He deserves to find someone to love him as he is loyal and loves his brother. Seth is worried that she will never have control and needs to find her before the hunters do even if it means joining with the enemy. Eleanor their evil spawn of a mother is back with a vengeance and seeking revenge on Riley for taking her family from her. Who will survive and who will perish and will Gray Mountain will be their last stand?

Treat of a read.

Reviewed in the United States on June 9, 2013

Gray Moon Rising finds Rylie in a very dark place and while chaos is erupting in the world of the wolves and they are being called to go to Gray Mountain. The hunters plan to take them all out. This was a very emotional and at times heartbreaking read. Rylie does not care if she lives or dies, but she does want to protect those she loves. This series continues to be a favorite of mine and this is one of my favorite installments and has an ending that will blow you away. I do recommend this read, but again with the suggestion that the series be read in order to receive the full benefit from the previous world and character development.

All the werewolves in the world are being drawn to Gray Mountain - and so are all the hunters, including Seth and Abel's insane mother, Eleanor; unless something miraculous happens, werewolves may soon be extinct.

Since the first book I've been hooked and now on the final book of the first series I absolutely love the ending! It has kept me guessing the whole time and what I thought was gonna happen something completely different and even better happened! I love the relationship between rylie and Seth but also love that her and abel became just as close that abel protects her when Seth left her! At one point I thought Abel was jealous but love that they had the brother talk and it wasn't like that. I'm glad they showed the union they have a good in them and that Eleanor was a nut and hope that she is really gone now! Still don't want to put the book down and I'm ready to start the next series to it

Weak New Age ending

Reviewed in Germany on December 27, 2012

Verified Purchase

I didn't enjoy "gray moon rising" quite as much as I did "all hallows' moon", mostly for the (strictly in my view) rather weak ending we get here. Although the story is darker than its predecessor's it pretty much runs down to peace, joy and pancakes. The story builds up to big final showdown, which comes but leaves one as a reader dissatisfied.
A major weakness with the story is how practically none of the actions of the characters add up to a whole lot of sense - so, yeah, story logic is really a weak point this time.

Still, for those that don't mind that the end fizzles out (or that have a higher tolerance to what can only be called spirituality in their reading material), and don't mind slogging through an epilogue that tries to wrap up everything nice and clean for everyone, it is still a recommendable read in the field of lower end YA Urban Fantasy with werewolves. I still liked the story when all was said and done, I still enjoyed Riley a lot as a character even if I felt left asking myself "All that conflict - for this?"

Nicely rounded up

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 16, 2013

Verified Purchase

The fourth and final instalment of the Seasons of the Moon series brings the story to a well thought out conclusion.

Rylie, Seth & Abel are reunited for this story fighting off the bad guys (Union) in an action packed yarn.

This book is as good as the previous three (and if you have read those but not this one I recommend that you read this for the full picture).

Hopefully the Cain Chronicles will continue this high standard as the author certainly knows how to write good material.
