Love this author and love this. She ends up in her hometown after her father passes away. But everything has changed and all is not as it seems. It is exciting, suspenseful, intriguing, surprising and so much more. I recommend it. I was given a review copy and voluntarily review it.
Very interesting werewolf story. Millie is definitely bold and brave enough to the mysterious Liam. She also finds herself right in the middle of the reason there are so many changes to her home town, I repeated told her “don’t do it” but she is way too adventurous to listen to me. 🙂 Liam is stubborn, full of pride and more importantly has a compassionate heart. Millie challenges him but does he have the strength to break out of a shell of doubt that has been his shield for so long?

Millie had launched her own fashion line, Artemis Blossom, and was angry that her supplier missed the deadline for the fabric delivery she needed. She was concentrating so hard on her email to them that she almost didn’t hear her cell phone. She had shoved it in a drawer because she broke up with her boyfriend who believed that continuous calling would woo her back. Her assistant knocked on the door and told her an important call was waiting – from her aunt she had not seen in 10 years!
She let herself in to her father’s quiet house in St Neuri. She had spoken to her dad, Greg, last week – how could he possibly be gone from her life?? She spent the rest of the day in her old room, looking through all of her old things, recalling memories. She finally realized she hadn’t eaten since the day before and decided to go out to grab something. Surprised, she stepped out into a heavy, impenetrable fog. She thought she saw a shape run off, but figured it was all the caffeine she had ingested all day. At the local burger hangout, she asked about the fog and was told that it started a couple months ago along with murders and missing people. The waitress gave Millie a newspaper that had the story of the 15 missing and 5 dead.
Millie saw a tall, muscled man come out of the bathroom. The waitress tried to ignore him when he asked for coffee. But for Millie, his smile was tempting. When the waitress came back, she warned Millie that Liam was bad news and should be avoided. Her formerly comforting hometown was definitely different. Now the fog just made her jumpy.
At the funeral Millie was in a daze. A stranger named Stephen, a friend of her father’s, introduced himself and said that Greg had not been acting like himself recently. He had said that he thought the murders and fog were supernatural! He thought it had something to do with wolves. Stephen told her Greg’s notes were in his room if she wanted to read them, but she was angry at what he told her and what he implied about his death. She just wanted to go home and started walking. Liam had also been at a gravesite and he expressed his condolences about her father. But when she asked if his friend they just buried had died a natural death, his face darkened as hers had when Stephen made his implications about her dad’s death. He told her not to be out after dark, then left to join his friends.
The following week, Millie headed for the grocery store and didn’t finish until the fog rolled in. In the poor visibility, she got lost and had car trouble, a serious mistake that would change her life. Would anyone believe what she saw that night? Would anyone be there to help her?
This was a perfect story for our upcoming-Halloween season! Well-written with a spooky flavor and goosebump-inducing events, it doesn’t get better than this to put you in the mood! This story was thoroughly enjoyable and the suspense keeps the reader moving on to see what happens next! Don’t miss this one – you’ll enjoy it to the very last page!
Set aside a day for this steamy adult segment of what might become a series (I hope, even though I usually prefer sweet!) starting with a fashion designer going home to settle her father’s estate.

This book quickly drew me in and even though I am still creeped out about her arrival in St. Neuri and the dense fog I liked the book. I really liked Millie and her desire to make something of herself. Being faced with a tragedy and trying to deal with it on her own showed she was feisty but foolish. When she meets Liam, my daggone heart started beating faster for her! It’s a easy read, lots of action and two people trying to stay away from plans that fate has for them. I would love to read more about this mountain town.

This one needs work . . . 2½ STARS
“WEREWOLVES OF THE MOUNTAIN” is an OK story. The prose in the novella is smooth and easy to read, the plot was exciting and action-packed and the use of FOG to precipitate disaster and set up a threatening atmosphere was brilliant. However, this story did not resonate as have other novella/novels by Abigail Raines. I suspect it is because I did not fall in love with or relate to either of the main characters. Usually, the death of a parent and the subsequent emotional turmoil grabs me, but Millie admitted numerous times that she did not have much of a relationship with her dad. So, even though she cried, there was a disconnect. I felt the tears were more for Millie than for her loss. She just seemed myopically shallow and while I don’t want to see any character harmed, there was no real concern, buy-in or relationship between Millie and me. The disconnect with Liam was more problematic, but I’ve expressed my concerns with the author and will not here as NO ONE LIKES SPOILERS! I voluntarily read an ARC copy of “WEREWOLVES OF THE MOUNTAIN” and this is my honest review. While I have LOVED some of author Raine other titles and given them rave reviews, “WEREWOLVES OF THE MOUNTAIN” needs work.
So Abigail is a new author to me and can I say that I’m in love. She has this amazing way of telling it like it is with her words. She makes it so we have to find out what happens. In this story we meet a woman who lost the last of her family and has to go back home. A home that she never really knew but discovers some interesting secrets and a man who can fulfill her every dream. I highly recommend this book. She takes it to a level that makes us wonder but also excited. A must read. I give it 5 stars. I voluntarily read and reviewed this book as an Advanced Reader’s Copy.
This is a short and quick read. The story is well written and has a unique flare about it. The characters are developed nicely and have great chemistry. Their banter is helps the story with its uniqueness. Liam and Millie seem to have a sudden but slow build chemistry. It sounds strange but they way they act with each is why I worded it that. Once you read the story as well you will understand. There is some drama, mystery, and suspense throughout the story. It is a good story that is definitely worth reading.

I loved the way that Millie may have gone back home but her hometown is so alien to her. Not only are the people disappearing only to turn up murdered – but there is this strange and weird fog that descends when the sun goes down.
Then we have Liam – he’s more complex than he seems and he acts hot and cold towards Millie.
I loved the twists and turns and the characters were very intriguing. I loved the way that Millies mind worked and the fact that she just couldn’t let things go.
A great read that was very entertaining. I see that this is the first in the series so I am very interested in the next books to come.

Being the first book written by Abigail Raines, I found it to be well written and the story about werewolves in St. Neuri a great start for this series. Millie a fashion designer whose fashion line is starting to be recognized gets a call from home by her aunt that her father has died. Millie goes home but things have changed in St. Neuri since she left. There’s a fog at night and people have left town or disappeared or were killed and people say they see wolves at night.

Later the next day after she goes home she calls Liam and meets him at a coffee shop and tells Liam she saw werewolves. Does Liam believe her? I volunteer to read and review this ARC
It was entertaining and captivating. The twist and turns had me on edge. The suspense and the passion was great. It was well written and the storyline was spot on. A great read.

I want my own Liam! Protective, smolderingly sexy, and confident. All terrific qualities in a man, or a wolf, in his case. Poor Millie! While her world is in turmoil, she finds a solid ally in Liam. Great writing! Great story! Great characters! Just plain great!
I really liked this book. I thought that it was a light read and that it would not hold my attention for long. Boy, was I wrong!!! The story sucked me in from Millie’s first phone call from her aunt. The story developed nicely but I found myself annoyed with Liam and Millie at times. I would find myself talking to them as if they were real people and this makes this book great to me. When I forget for a while about everyday life and feel that these characters are real, that is the sign of a great story. This author writes smoothly and the plot flows with ease. I will read more from this author. I recommend that you read this book, you will not regret it.

I give 5 star but it wasn’t long enough! This story was great. Liam and Millie’s story is just beginning in my book! I could really see this as a series of books. The characters on the sidelines could really start it rolling!

This is a NON-SPOILER REVIEW. Werewolves of the Mountain by Abigail Raines is Book 1 in the Werewolves of St. Neuri series. As a first in series, it’s an interesting read with a new twist on Lycan Lore. This is Liam and Millie’s story, a fast paced and action packed quick read. While I enjoyed the premise and I liked the characters, I felt that there should have been more “meat” to the story. The book basically reads as stand alone and definitely does not leave you hanging. I’m curious to see where the next book takes us and what characters it will follow. This is a great Saturday morning quick read.
