Branded by my pack Alpha.
Betrayed by my mother.
Raised by lies and falsehoods.

The betrayal just as twisted and hideous as the deep scars I now carry.

I have one choice: let my wolf loose and run. Run for my life and to the only other wolf who escaped the San Francisco pack.

I loved this book! I read the first book in this series, Kiss of the Winter Moon, and loved it too. Shadow of the Summer Moon starts up right where the first book left off, at Jessy and Dain's wedding. After she was tortured and branded, Simone Mowbray ran away from the San Francisco pack and the Alpha who tried to claim her.

Rule Arwan, the Alpha of the San Francisco pack, is a monster. What he does to his people, how he controlled them to create his 'perfect pack' of 'pure bloods' is horrendou ...more

First if you have any triggers this book may upset you. I don’t and there were things I had a hard time with. Saying this I must also add that it that hard time was because of how hard it was for me to see someone do something so sadistic to someone against their will. Rule was a horrible horrible man. He was cruel and just evil. He repressed his people and he reminded me of a character from Deliverance only to him he was creating a better breed of wolf and pack kind of like how Hitler thought. First if you have any triggers this book may upset you. I don’t and there were things I had a hard time with. Saying this I must also add that it that hard time was because of how hard it was for me to see someone do something so sadistic to someone against their will. Rule was a horrible horrible man. He was cruel and just evil. He repressed his people and he reminded me of a character from Deliverance only to him he was creating a better breed of wolf and pack kind of like how Hitler thought. He felt he was able to control everything and wield his power more this way. His pack was really kept in the dark on things. Only when Simone escapes her harrowing experience and learns what freedom and being a wolf is do we see Rule truly exposed. Simone’s mother was just as horrid as Rule. She had no compassion and she truly drank the Koolaid Rule was giving them. She reminded me of the people in Jonestown who was disciples of Jim Jones and Rule is Jim Jones .

So when Simone arrives in Comfort after her experience, she is tired, afraid and wary. She turns to someone who was once a part of her pack briefly-Jessy. Jessy takes her in wit open arms and accepts her no questions asked. When she sees her suffering she is angry for her. As are you. Amanda LeMay’s writing really has you feel Simone’s pain and be angry for her. When Simone meets Gunner all bets are off. Sparks fly and she feels safe and secure. He makes her feel protected and at home. their bond is instant but Simone doesn’t understand it and for Gunner he fears after all Simone has been through she will reject what is happening.

Gunner is the alpha who gives Simone sanctuary and so much more. He is understanding and supportive. He loves her fiercely and that shines through in his actions. He sees Simone’s soul and not her battle scars. He sees her heart and who she is. And he finds her a sight to behold.. A beauty of all beauty’s. Their relationship is complicated. He is the alpha and she is coming from a pack that was horrible and she did go through a huge ordeal. He is patient and kind. When they do come together holy batcave batman it is smoking. Gunner will steal your heart.

The story is full of danger for you don’t know what Rule will do and what will happen to Gunner and his pack for helping Simone. YOu have the romance and that Sakana bond between Gunner and Simone where we see them work through Simone’s fears, insecurities and see Gunner treat her with respect, support and like a queen. he listens to her and gives her what she wants and needs. We have the intrigue of the tribunal and what that does for closure for Simone and we have the allure of the plot and how it plays out. The writing is enticing and draws you in . You feel strong emotions one way or another on things and you just can’t stop reading until you see justice for Simone and her and Gunner be together. A wonderful book and I can’t wait to see what is next. ...more
