A Christmas Novella (Seven Series Book 8) - Winter Moon

It was a cute holiday storystorythat catches everyone up on the Weston pack. All the major players make an appearance and everything in life is good.

I say that both sarcastically and genuinely.

Having read the series from the beginning therefore knowing each characters history I felt the time spent explaining them all again was a little monotonous. Just like that sentence. Lol. I understand why it was done but since the story was short I would have liked to read about their new adventures. Regardless I still recommend reading this book as the ending was lovely and heartfelt.

Beautiful Christmas story about the Weston Pack. The young ones are growing up. I can see more stories involving Melody, Lakota, the twins and the rest. Cannot wait . As always well told and well written

I usually love Dannika's books. This one I liked. It was a bit sappy for my taste but I enjoyed hearing about the Packs. Looking forward to the next one that will hopefully be more like her usual style.

I love the Weston pack and their adventures! Each character is a wonderful part of these books! I'm so sad to see these end. I've read then twice. On to read the Mageri series again.
WELL DONE MS. DANIKA!! ?

Just finished Winter Moon and Dannika has done and awesome job......again!! The Weston Pack is like family. The only thing wrong with this book is it wasn't long enough. If you have read The series it would be the perfect Christmas gift. Thank you Dannika for sharing your gift of writing with us!

Once again Dannika Dark out did herself with this phenomenal book!
Winter Moon is a fantastic Christmas story with humor and love of family. It teaches us that no matter what the adversity is, we can overcome anything.
I was so happy to see Ben back in the pack, and how the pack has grown! I am hoping that we get to read another Weston Pack book.
I would definitely recommend this book to all my friends!!

Thank you for giving the Westons more! Thank you for giving us more of the Westons! Awesome way to end the week. The perfect feel good book of the season for lovers of the Seven Series. Just leaves us wanting more, naturally.

This was an unexpected treat from Ms. Dark. Getting to see how the characters from her Seven series are doing was like visiting with friends for the holidays. I would highly recommend reading The Seven Series before reading this novella.

Dannika Dark is one of the best authors around. The Seven series is one of my all time favorites and is well written with great characters, and great plots. I'd recommend it to anyone, regardless of preferred genre.

(RabidReads.com)The Seven series by Dannika Dark is a wonderful series full of romance, family, suspense, and heartwarming moments, all surrounding a family of wolf shifters. It recently ended with the book, One second, and all her fans, me included, were not ready to say goodbye. Now the author has gifted us with a novella featuring this family of brothers and their mates. I say gifted because that’s what this novella is, a gift.

It’s Christmas Eve and there’s a snow storm going on at the Cole Pack home. Not too far in to the story the power goes out, so they are faced with Christmas dinner being ruined, and the only heat source being one fireplace in a huge two story home. The blurb warns us that someone is going to be missing(not killed), so I tried guessing all the way through about who it was going to be. And there were plenty to choose from.

All the characters are back, including characters that were featured in other books, but weren’t part of the brothers. I have two favorite brothers, Reno, the tough motorcycle riding private eye/bounty hunter-tough but with a heart of gold, now mated to April, and Denny, a bartender at the local shifter bar, now mated to Maizy. Other characters include packmaster Austin and his mate, Lexi(Maizy’s sister), local rock singer Jericho and his mate Izzy, among others. Favorite couple from this particular book was fairly newly mated, Trevor and William. It took them forever it seems, but now they are together and seriously cute together. Lakota, a newer character, and not a brother, was my favorite character this time. If you love this series or Dark’s Mageri Series, then you know why.

Each chapter follows either a couple, or a small group, and shows what’s going on with them during the snowstorm. Everyone is involved in different pursuits, so it does keep you guessing about what’s finally going to happen. What I liked the most was just catching up with the characters. There’s a new(er) baby in the family, some of the older teenagers are getting closer to adulthood, and the couples that have been together awhile are still romancing each other or even actively sneaking off for some quality alone time.

So much humor is evident this time(and really in all of the books) and I appreciated that. No spoilers, but Denny and his brother Wheeler’s adventure while looking for a Christmas tree was especially fun. I have been so invested in this series since book one and now all the characters are like old friends. While wolf shifter romances are a dime a dozen everywhere you look, this series in no way falls into that category. These characters have all been fully realized by the author, the romances have all been portrayed in a real manner and not all hearts and flowers, or love at first sight either. The mysteries or suspense/action is well thought out and executed, and these books have had me on the edge of my seat more times than I can count. Dark is truly a wonderful writer, and one that I urge everyone to try.

The only downside I see to this book is that I wish it was three times as long! Highly recommended to adult paranormal romance readers.

I loved the Seven Series (although I will admit to struggling through One Second) and this was an awesome recap to all those who have found love and began families in those books. Leaves me hoping to see if there will be at Melody book. Although the author seems to create books that are wonderful works that always leave me feeling fulfilled but craving more.

I enjoy the writing style of Dannika Dark. This series has captured my heart with the development of each of the characters, and this story provided a glimpse of each of them with symmetry and depth for such a short piece. I look forward to reading more about on the development of Trevor as well as the children who are quickly growing up and finding their own paths.

As usual Dannika Dark doesn't disappoint. Her characters are magical. I love all her books. The characters are complex and her writing style makes you feel like you are in the scenes with the characters.

Have you experienced that christmas lunch/ dinner where everything went wrong but it was the best ever - the story of the Weston clan told from each's perspective. Dannika Dark is a wonderful storyteller .
