I enjoyed Sisters of Moonlight much more than the first novel of the series! On multiple occasions I found myself not wanting to put the book down because I wanted to see what happened next for Alice, Lily, Jem & Grace! can’t wait to read the 3rd and final book !

I wasn't a fan of the first book in this series but I liked this one: entertaining and gripping.
I think it it's better paced and the characters are more developed. Excellent world building.
Recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine

Sisters of Moonlight is a magical fantasy book for young teen readers.

The group has reassembled after the devastating loss of Glenn and their home. Although they are together some members of their ragtag family are restless and need distraction from the loss. Alice and Grace are separated leaving Grace heartbroken. The little family decides Grace needs adventure and Jem, much in need of a break, should accompany her. Meanwhile, Lily and the other children remain behind at their new hideout and Lily studies to try and understand her magic better.
However, Hecate and the Brotherhood are still around putting them all in danger.

This is a quick, easy read…definitely more of a teen than YA book. While I did enjoy reading about the characters again, there were parts of the story that fell flat for me. The plot concepts and the story are interesting but I would have preferred more expansion of the storyline. The boat adventure was rushed and ended a bit briefly. I felt like there could have been more done with those left behind as well. That all being said it did end on an interesting note so it’s likely I would read the next book to see how it ends.
