She immediately finds that she doesn't fit in with the rest of the campers and after a brutal night of dealing with her peers, she takes off.

Although this is a debut novel, the reader truly will not be able to tell the difference from this author to a seasoned author. The novel explains the origin of werewolves. The main character, Rylie, is inevitably attacked and slowly changing into a werewolf throughout the novel. Although this novel is told in the third person, the main character will still appear as a personal friend to the reader. Rylie's experience as a wolf is told to the reader in intricate detail, nothing is left out.

Six Moon Summer is a book about werewolves and it is awesome. I am not really one to read many books about werewolves because I just don’t find them very interesting. However, when I read Six Moon Summer’s description I just knew it would be one I would enjoy and I did.

Everyone who's stuck around for any length of time here at the Bookshelf knows of my love-hate-mostly-hate relationship with paranormal romance. I get it, guys, I do. Vampire Academy had me enthralled, too, and I am gaga for The Wolves of Mercy Falls trilogy by Maggie Stiefvater. It's just that in a genre that has so saturated the YA market, they all start to read the same to me, and I seem to have a knack for grabbing the very worst of the bunch every time I pick one up.

About a year ago I would have frowned if anyone had told me I'd slowly be getting into reading paranormal novels again (I devoured them like crazy as a teen). With engaging books like this one by SM Reine, I will without a doubt dip into this genre more often these days too.

I thoroughly enjoyed Six Moon Summer. I was pleasantly surprised at how well this book was written. Being an avid reader I can tell the difference between a self published novel over a book that was published by a company. To be honest I didn't get the self published feel from this book. I really enjoyed S.M's writing style and I thought she did an amazing job at capturing the emotions of her characters.

Rylie absolutely did not want to go to camp for the summer. She was a city girl, she liked art and museums and her friends – IN THE CITY. Even if her parents were in the middle of a divorce why shouldn’t she get to stay home?
When you’re not 16 yet the parents make your choices, even if they aren’t the best. Spending her first week playing sick, staying away from her shrewish roomies and writing in her diary doesn’t prepare Rylie for what happens to her the night she tries to run away. More...

I have never read anything like "Six Moon Summer." The narrative style is completely unique and that got a three star out of me just for its sheer difference. It had a "diary" type feel to it. I really felt like I WAS Rylie, like I was seeing and feeling things through her eyes.
Rylie's character feels like a fifteen year old that's been dropped and has a small fissure that continues to "run" like a crack in the windshield that grows. Life for her has been More...

I enjoyed this novel. Rylie, the main character, is just like me, so I really loved reading her perspective of things. Like Rylie, I don’t like being around lots of people, I want to do my own things, I don’t like when someone tries to tell me what to do, and I hate camp. I really feel like we’re one in the same! Having all these similarities to Rylie helped me to connect with her as a character, and I completely take her side in all things in the novel, especially when it comes to the bratt

There was so much potential in this book but I felt like it fell flat in many places. To me, the first half was very rushed. We get thrown straight into the deep end with very well done action scenes. My problem was that these scenes started so early in the story, that I had developed no connection to the main character, Rylie. She was whiny and to be honest, I didn’t like her at all. Watching her deal with the mean girls at camp and her parents made me think, ‘Geez, shut up and get over it alre

Wow. I’ve read many indie books, and I have to say I was extremely impressed with Reine’s exceptional writing. After countless hours of beta reading for writers, it’s been ingrained into me to look and seek out typos, mistakes, awkward structure, but I read straight through Six Moon Summer without pause. I was extremely impressed. Rylie for me started off a little weak. Although I understand that was needed to show her character growth, I felt her reasoning for secluding herself away from the ot

I love werewolf books. I loved this one, go figure, but I also loved that it was completely different from other YA paranormal books I have read about wolves. This took on a completely different creation story. It's harder to find, where werewolves are the evil creatures in books, so I loved this. I also loved that there was hope for Rylie. That her fate wasn't fixed.

Six Moon Summer tells the story of Rylie, who is sent to camp to avoid her parent's messy divorce. Obviously, she's the odd girl out, and the other girls are complete bitches to her. They give her dirty looks without even knowing her first name. And she's a vegetarian, which makes her an even bigger outsider.

I enjoyed Six Moon Summer as the writing was solid and carried me along the story. The book is an easy read and my main critique is that some of the plot appears forced toward the end with the climax being a bit rushed. Pacing throughout the rest of the book is solid and reminds me much of Meyer's Twilight series. But instead of vampires, the main character is thrust into the world of werewolves.
