The Moonshadow's Daughter is the third and presumably final novel in the Kaylie Newell-penned paranormal romance series entitled Wolfe Creek. Fans of the series have gotten bits and pieces of Aimee Styles's story of how she came to be a werewolf and her decision to go into hiding. Here, readers finally get the resolution to her tale and she finds it with Dr. Jake Blackstock, who lost his wife just a year ago after an animal attack and has been caring for his young son ever since. This is my favorite among the three books because I liked how the relationship between Aimee and Jake developed and how everything seemed to come full circle. The answers we've been looking for are up for grabs and offered in an entertaining way.
This was a fast-paced and well-written story and had that air of mystery and suspense that's been consistent all throughout the series. All the elements blend well together and while it is a love story, Aimee and Jake's tale isn't overly romanticized, especially since Aimee is keeping her being a werewolf secret from Jake and we all know that secrets never stay hidden for long. Like I mentioned earlier, I'm presuming this signals the end to this trilogy, especially since there weren't any other supporting characters that stood out and are worthy to get their own stories told. Yhis book about life's second chances gave the Wolfe Creek series a fitting end and tied up all loose ends. The Moonshadow's Daughter gets 4.5 stars, rounded off to five stars.

Eh.. okay well let me just say that I got this ARC from net galley and I have not read the 2 books before this one. I think it read fine as a stand alone though. I did not feel like I was missing any vital information at all. In fact if I hadn't looked up the series I would never had known it was a from a series.
The story was good.. I always have issues with books when children are involved but that's just me and honestly Aimee was so amazing with Jake's son. I was super impressed by her. I think that Jake thought about his dead wife too much.. I know that sounds insensitive because it hadn't been that long. but if he also falls in love with a young "dead" girl. So I mean.. I think that there should have been more time for him to grieve his wife and then move on.
I tend to be a jealous reader.. I want my male hero to be all about the heroine. And yes Jake does get there at the very, very end but it took him the whole book to get there. The relationship kind of seemed almost fatherly to me at times and that was also creepy.
I dunno. It was good! defiantly worth reading!

Very nice audible listen. I found this story to be a nice closing story to the ongoing series and the ending was very sweet. Although I do wish we could have know how Daniel felt about Aimee not being able to attend his birthday party.
Very slow burn but I found this one not as slow of a burn as the previous two. This book also had the most paranormal vibe out of the three - so that made me happy as well.

I liked this book and enjoyed reading it. It's a good paranormal fiction.
Everyone thinks that Aimee is dead. It has been many years since she entered the civilized world. Now she is used to living alone in the woods of Wolfe Creek. When she gets sick there is no way to avoid civilization. She needs a doctor.
Jake is the only doctor in this small town. When he meets Aimee he recognizes her at once. He is confused and can't figure out why she has been hiding for so long. He tries to convince her to visit her parents but she is scared. There are many things he doesn't know about her. She fears that once he knew, he will never look at her in the same way...
P.S. I received an ARC via NetGalley.

This was a good ending to the series. There is some light suspense throughout the series but the main plot revolves around a group of people dealing with newly discovered transformation into werewolves and how they maintain their relationship to the normal world.

I've been going through my netgalley backlist and I recently snagged the audiobook for this one.
As far as paranormal romances goes especially with wolf shifters, I definitely enjoyed it, but not quite my favorite. I didn't read the prior books, so I felt like I was missing a little something here and there.
When it came to the romance between Aimee and Jake, it happened a little too quickly for my liking.
I definitely want to go back to the beginning and possibly do a re-read of this one.
