A short paranormal/historical novella set in an undefined country, probably England or Scotland or Ireland; actually aside for an epilogue there are only two men in all the story and they have both similar experience in their past: shunned by their parents and families since they prefer the company of men. The only difference is that Rhys, older and stronger, has his own land where he can roam at night and living in a peaceful, but isolated way during the day; James instead, barely eighteen year...
In the beginning the book was slow going and it took a while to get to the real action and was, at times, boring. The book redeemed itself a bit near the end. It was an okay read but not something I would want to particularly read again. In its favor, it was an unusual werewolf story, which is a plus. However, it was boring, slow, and confusing at times which is why I give it 2.5 stars.

Despite this story having far more character development than Heiros, I still found it difficult to get into the characters.

The sex was hot though (despite the fact that spit is not lube).
I actually gave it 4 and a 1/2 stars. Click here to read my review.
Angelique’s Review I had high hopes for “In the Pale Moonlight,” like I have for most werewolf stories. While the book is well written and presents the reader with a curious new world, I found the short novella too dark for my taste.

Overall, while Ms. Moraine is a good writer, “In the Pale Moonlight” was just not for me.2 ½ Tea Cups!
While the writing is decent, this short novella was too dark for me.
Rhys is of The People but he lives alone, without family, without out pack. He knows that he should have killed the boy that he found on his land. He didn't need complications. He didn't need anyone else. And yet he takes the boy James home. Rhys knows he should kill the boy but as the days pass he realizes the he didn't want to kill James. You don't break bread with your prey.When I started this, I didn't think that I was going to like it that much. Don’t get me wrong, it is well written but I
