Description
What if every full moon shaped the course of your life?
After losing her parents in a brutal Alaskan blizzard, Lyka is raised by two loving fathers in Farpont—a remote town where werewolves, known as fur folk, live openly among humans. Each chapter, marked by a full moon, reveals a new lesson as Lyka comes of age—exploring love, grief, identity, friendship, prejudice, and the search for belonging.
Lyka’s memoir unfolds one moon at a time. From first love and heartbreaking loss to mysterious creatures lurking beyond the Alaskan forests, every chapter brings new revelations. What begins as Lyka’s coming-of-age story soon becomes the chronicle of an entire community—where every monster has a history, every family is forged by sacrifice, and every season shimmers with its own magic.
Blending literary fantasy, rich folklore, and paranormal adventure, this standalone novel reimagines werewolves as ordinary people facing extraordinary challenges. As Lyka’s story widens, so does the tapestry of Farpont—introducing magical beings inspired by legend, heartfelt LGBTQ+ representation, and unforgettable friendships. In this world, every full moon reveals another piece of the human experience.
More than a werewolf novel, Thirteen Moons: The Werewolf Almanac is a heartfelt exploration of found family, resilience, and hope.

Honestly my only complaint with this book was that it wasn't long enough. I wish there had been more of the story and more that happened, or even that we got to see her whole life span out. I was mentally prepared to see her death, as peaceful as I imagine it to me but it just kind of ended abruptly.
The writing was beautiful, I loved the characters and their magic system. I liked that we didn't get like a fully fleshed explanation so it made it feel more magical. Everything was shown and not told to us which I really appreciate.
I would definitely recommend this book and read something from this author again!

C.A. Boozarjomehri did an amazing job with this debut novel.
It's a heartfelt coming-of-age fantasy that beautifully explores family, identity, community, and the moments that shape who we become.
I don't want to spoil anything, so I'll keep this review short. This book is absolutely worth picking up. I was genuinely surprised by how much I enjoyed it, and once I started reading, I couldn't put it down until I finished. If you're looking for an emotional, character-driven fantasy, I'd definitely recommend giving this one a try.

This story was unique in a way that I loved. It follows Lyka (a werewolf) throught her life by 13 moon phases. Each moon phase is a chapter about a part of her life and her experiences. It's an emotional coming of age story that has love, grief, found family, supernatural creatures, duke action n more in it. If you like shifter books give this one a try, it's not your typical werewolf story.
