Black Moon (Wolf Moon Rising Book 1) Kindle Edition

by Sam Burns (Author), W.M. Fawkes (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars 1,400 ratings
An apple a day won’t keep this doctor away.

Linden Grove has always known that he’s not destined to be the next pack alpha. That position belonged to his brother Aspen—but then Aspen left the pack to join the military. When the unthinkable happens and the pack is left rudderless, someone has to step up and take care of it. Can a doctor go from “do no harm” to defending his own with his teeth and claws?

Colt Doherty is used to a certain kind of life. Glittering, picturesque, and . . . empty. As the youngest child of the country’s only werewolf senator, Colt has grown up in the spotlight, and he’s all too used to knot-headed alphas taking credit for the work of others, especially omegas like himself. When his editor sends him to write a story on the Grove pack, though, he finds something completely unexpected: Linden Grove in his unpolished perfection, as shiny and sweet as the apples his pack are known for.

A Grove pack omega has been kidnapped, and someone has to step up. The pack needs Linden to fill his father’s shoes, but no wolf can stand on his own. To save the day, sheltered Colt has to drop the politics and become the action hero he never thought an omega could be.

Black Moon is an 90k word standalone novel featuring one fiery journalist, one doctor with an obsession for hand knit sweaters, and the sweetest apple pies on the whole eastern seaboard, all bundled up in a non-mpreg A/B/O universe.

    Sam lives in North Carolina with husband and cat, which is even less exciting than it sounds, so she's not sure why you're still reading this.

    She specializes in LGBTQIA+ fiction, usually with a romantic element. There's sometimes intrigue and violence, usually a little sex, and almost always some swearing in her work. Her writing is light and happy, though, so if you're looking for a dark gritty reality, you've come to the wrong author.

    I didn’t expect to love this book. The whole alpha/omega smutty storyline has been done absolutely to death, but this story totally exceeded my expectations! This book is perfect if you’re tired of stale alpha/omega tropes, don’t like m-preg, and want something different.

    I loved the characters of Colt and Linden. They’re both polar opposites; Linden is neat and calm while Colt is fiery and headstrong. Linden is a country boy and Colt is a big city dreamer. Linden is different from any alpha Colt has ever met; patient and quiet and kind, and it’s easy to see why Colt loves him. I empathized with Lindens inner struggle, his doubts and his fears about becoming alpha when his father is suddenly murdered. I admired Colt for wanting to be more than his omega birthright.

    The storyline is very intriguing and sucked me in. I’m very curious to learn more about the Condition, and my God, I’m so happy Brook will have his own book! My heart went out to him, and I’m burning to know more about Aspen.

    I’m off to read the second book! I can’t wait to see how the story plays out.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Not Just Another Alpha/Omega Book.
    Reviewed in the United States on August 3, 2022
    Verified Purchase
    I read this book on Kindle Unlimited. Therefore, I didn’t go in expecting much from this book. It’s just another werewolf (Alpha/Omega) romance (sex) book, right? Wrong. This book was well written and very easy to read. I got so involved with it that I read it in one sitting. I enjoyed the main characters of Linden (a non-traditional alpha) and Colt (non-traditional omega). The characters are well developed and show further development throughout the story. There is a self-contained plot for the novel so there is no cliff-hangers per se, but there is an over-arching plot as well that carries through the entire series. So if you plan to read the series, you’ll want to read them in order. Does it have some flaws? Sure. It’s a romance so the relationship can seem a little rushed (insert werewolf alpha/omega mate mythos here). But it’s a fun read that I really enjoyed. I ended up reading all 5 in the series.

    So, I totally waited until I’d finished the series to leave this review. I wanted to leave it on book one so those looking to start it would know what they are getting into.

    I really enjoyed the book and the whole series. I was expecting it to be…darker…so I didn’t read it right away. I was glad to find that it was not really dark at all. Nothing wrong with dark, but you don’t always want that.

    The characters are well developed. The writing was excellent. The spin on the alpha/omega dynamic was a bit different than anything I’ve read before. It was great getting to know the whole town.

    I definitely recommend this series!

    Reviewed in the United States on April 27, 2021
    Verified Purchase
    In this A/B/O shifter story, some omegas have been afflicted with a disease which has caused a shortage of omegas. Linden is the second son of the pack Alpha. He has never considered being pack Alpha, that's for his brother. So he is a doctor wanting to treat the pack. But his father is killed by a neighbor pack. An omega has been stolen and now the pack wants Linden to step up.

    Colt is an omega,.the third child of a politician. His other two siblings are Alphas and are held in higher esteem than Colt is as a lowly omega. His profession as a journalist takes him to Lindens town. Invited by a young upstart Alpha who wants to take over the pack.

    Colt and Linden have a slow burn romance. I like how Linden treats Colt and how Colt sees all the good things in Linden. The story is really good with the larger arc of the omegas sickness. Hopefully they will be resolved in further books. I can only think with the shortage of omegas that the pack attacks will begin to increase. Good story. Great characters.

    I liked this first book that introduced the grove pack. Book 1 was filled with a lot of action early on but started to get more political near the end.

    I enjoyed seeing this couple have a bit of a fated mate style romance.

    I can't wait to see what happens next.

    The Alpha is a leader of the shifters and the meaning of what a good or great Alpha nerds is what gets clarified during the selection of a vacant Alpha position. Throw in kidnapping, illness, family drama and you have a lot to unravel. However I would say its worth the journey. The romance is sweet the feeling as its your place is what makes the book a true hit. MM Romance

Yes, there is death & violence. These are shifters after all. But none of it is gratuitous. Come. Join Linden & Colt on their road to HEA. Hang on tight. It's a wild ride!

    Why has it taken me so long to find this gem. I adored both MC’s the town, just everything. I love fiesty independent omegas, and strong yet soft alphas. The denial about being mates, the struggle of fitting in and finding ones place while finding love. Sigh. This was a great book, had all the emotions and feels. The writing was great the smexy was YES and the side characters were everything you need in small town side characters. I’m looking at the next book though and I don’t know how so many left over questions are going to be told seeing as it’s knew characters that we hadn’t met. So many questions which is why I can’t give a 5.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Don't know who I like more, Linden or Colt
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 4, 2024
    Verified Purchase
    In a world where werewolf alphas are a-holes, Linden is a sweet, jumper-wearing doctor who cares more about his pack than posturing. Colt is an omega who doesn't need anyone saving him, or talking over him.

    Even though these misunderstanding plotlines happen like this, and I love them, I still find them frustrating. Of course they both want each other but instead of coming out and saying it, they keep making excuses to stay in each other's lives.

    This, I believe, classifies as an absolute sweet romance story. Sure, there are some hard plotlines, like Linden's father being murdered, the kidnapping of the omega, and his mental state post-return. However, it's much less complicated than I thought. With how it usually goes, I kept expecting Skip, instead of toeing a line of being an a-hole, going past it and joining the Reid pack or something. Maybe he's just a bit simple and there's a story for him later on.

    For a story about werewolves, this is more sweet natured (and I'm not just talking about Rowan's apple pies).

    Definitely would recommend to anyone who just needs a break from all the heavy topics and instead wants a bit of sunshine to read about.
