A sullen, lonely girl goes to summer camp while her parents
divorce. But something lurks on the rugged mountainside,
and when Rylie gets bitten she finds herself changing into
a wolf... This is first in a young adult series called
Seasons of the Moon. The reason this is a SIX MOON
SUMMER
is because Rylie finds herself forced to change shape at
every new moon and full moon.
Though a vegetarian, Rylie suddenly craves juicy meat, and
the girls who have been so nasty to her for weeks begin to
be afraid of her newly violent temper. The camp horses are
too spooked by her scent to let her ride and her senses are
much keener. Terrified of what is happening, Rylie finds an
ally in Seth, a lanky young man from the boy's camp across
the lake. Seth tells her what is going on and shows her a
book of legends in the counsellors' library cabin which
describe the gradual process of change. Rylie has to hope
that the curse is not irrevocable, but although Seth seems
to know far too much, he can't stop it happening, and the
true werewolf is still out there. Dragged back to the city
briefly, Rylie feels that she no longer fits in, and the
forest has become her home. She heads back as soon as she
can to camp, knowing that this puts her, and the other
girls, in even greater peril.
The descriptions of the forest were excellent and SM Reine
has made a very realistic story, first out of Rylie's
loneliness and second out of her take on the werewolf
legend. I'll look forward to reading the rest of the
series.
Rylie's been bitten. She's changing. And now she has three
months to find a cure before becoming a werewolf... forever.
Rylie Gresham hates everything about summer camp: the food,
the fresh air, the dumb activities, and the other girls in
her cabin. But the worst part is probably being bitten by a
werewolf. Being a teenager is hard enough, but now she's
craving raw flesh and struggles with uncontrollable anger.
If she doesn't figure out a way to stop the transformation,
then at the end of summer, her life is worse than over.
She'll be a monster.
