Book 1-

Book 2-
by Trina M. Lee the edition read was in an anthology (Hunted: a new adult shapeshifter anthology- I couldn't find a link) but each book had its own book cover. 26th October- Howl at the moon day and night. The cover has a wolf howling at the moon on it which would be perfect for a howling at the moon quilt square.
