Was The Werewolf Just A Dream?

Lunar by A. M. Evanston is a clean werewolf story.

Scarlet is sixteen and home alone awhile her parents are on their second honeymoon. She has always been a responsible child, so her parents weren’t afraid to leave her home alone for a couple weeks. Most kids her age would have rebelled against all of her parents’ rules, but she felt how much they loved her and she had great respect for them.

One Saturday while her parents were still gone, Scarlet Whitney was coming home from shopping, when she was scared by a werewolf. A boy her age rushed up to her and somehow scared off the werewolf. Then she woke up the next morning thinking that the whole thing was a dream.  She tried to push the dream away and go back to her normal retinue, but she couldn’t remember how she got back home the night before.

Alex, short for Alexandria, is Scarlet’s best friend. She’s a little wild and the opposite of Scarlet’s ‘obey the rules’ personality. Alex convinced Scarlet that they should go hear a local band. Alex wanted to see the band because she liked the lead singer, Gage. Scarlet got quite a shock when the guitarist of the band happened to be the same guy that scared off the werewolf from her dream! But how could he be the same guy since she had never seen him before?

After the concert she got the guitarist, Chad, alone. He tried to convince her that there was no werewolf that night, that she was sort of asleep on her feet. He told her that he took her home. She truly wanted to believe him, but things kept happening that made her question whether werewolves truly were real.

She visited Chad’s house to return the jacket that he   had lent her after the concert. While there, she found that he was eighteen and was being homeschooled. His brother said something strange and his father didn’t seem to like her. Altogether, his family was a little strange. An interesting thing was that his family lived on the outskirts of town where the land was said to be haunted.

This was a good read. There was romance and mystery with some action and suspense thrown in. This comes in e-book format.
