The first half of this book was amazingly well done. I was sucked into the story from the first page. However, things sort of went downhill towards the end. The story became slightly predictable and even a little too cutesy for my taste.
But, over-all i enjoyed it, and am looking forward to the rest of the series.

Kayla's parents died tragically when she was 4 or 5 (can't remember!), and since then she has been raised by her adoptive parents. At 15 her adoptive parents bring her to the camp/wilderness where her parents were murdered hoping to help her overcome her fear, and nightmares. During that trip Kayla meets Lindsey(a Sherpa, which is like a wilderness guide), they become good friends and continue to communicate throughout the following year. Lindsey convinces Kayla to come back for the summer and work as a Sherpa with the others she met last summer. Kaylas' reaction to seeing Lucas is confusing, she likes him, thinks he is hot etc. but doesn't think she stands a chance. Mason on the otherhand is one of the college students they are guiding/ leading whatever. He is sweet, romantic and clearly interested. He is also the safest choice, which is why she decides to spend time with him. The rest you will have to read! Moonlight definately holds your attention. Towards the end I thought well everything is resolved, what could the next 30 pages be about? Then something happens. Moonlight could be targeted for middle school ages, but I enjoyed it. I like the urban fantasy without all of the sex. Without sex the author really has to write. Overall good book, the characters are likeable, and it is set up nicely for the next one.

Ni siquiera recordaba haberme comprado el libro. Debería haberlo dejado donde estaba. PERO SI TE CUENTA EL FINAL EN EL PRÓLOGO! Eso sí, luego pretende mantenerte en tensión todo el libro CUANDO YA SABES LO QUE VA A PASAR.
Deberían poner una puntuación numérica, porque el 0 estaba asegurado.

Moonlight is a guilty pleasure. Not because it has naughty sex scenes or bad language jumping off the page—quite the opposite. It's pretty sweet and innocent, like PNR novels accept YA approved. Of course I have to say right up front if you’re seeking something that has mind blowing writing, hidden depths, and a unique plot this is the not the book. It’s not really fantastic in any form, but there is something about it that draws a reader in and just takes hold.
Moonlight goes where you expect it to and with a 263 page count it really doesn't get to explore all the fantastic ideas that are lurking around. It focuses on girl meets wolf boy, girl is soon to turn wolf, wolf boy perfects girl, and they mate for life. Moonlight is not all romance, there is an interesting plot about humans trying to get the secrets of the Guardians (werewolves) and an evil brother bent on revenge.
Again for how small it is, the characters are well fleshed out. This is Kayla’s journey to grow up and become her “true-self”. Lucas is the cliché brooding male lead that the ladies love to swoon over; mysterious, quiet, and devoted to his future woman. Kayla and Lucas bonded well together, both being really likable.
The world of the Guardians is clearly something that needs to be explored more in later books, there are more boys and girls to turn into wolves and find mates. All of the guys already have their future mates tattooed onto them, so my curiosity is killing me to see if I guessed the right couples. In the short course of the book Hawthorne made me appreciate the cast of side characters.
While it reads like a beach book, it does not have the tone of one. It deals with death, loss, fear, and dealing with the choices we make and living with them. There’s not much meat to it, but readers will find themselves engrossed in the world of the Guardians and the mystery of finding a life mate. Moonlight’s power is to take an “adult” plot from paranormal romances and turn it in to a YA read.
Sexual Content:
Kissing and a few heavy make out scenes. There is a scene where a boy pushes himself on to the main character in the acts of making it look like he might rape her. A few dirty jokes and questions sprinkled in every now and again.
3/5- Adored it, just a few minor details held it back

I LOVED IT!!! Ever since reading NEED and BLOOD AND CHOCOLATE, I've been wanting to find another book about Werewolves and this is it!! I loved it! I loved how the main character was portrayed as some-what of a weakling; but she had a feirce inner strength. This is an excellent book that you need to read!!
No real surprises in this book. But it was an enjoyable read. Can't wait to read the rest of the series.
