Ok, I was wrong about Tianna. But I still don't like her. OMG! When Stanton came back to the picture, I nearly screamed of happiness. I <3 you Stanton! Sure he's a bad guy, but he won't hurt the Daughters. Especially Serena and Vanessa.

3.5 stars rounded up

Honestly, I was dreading another book from Vanessa's point of view because she irritates the fuck out of me. She's so self-centred and oblivious, but the plot of this installment was enough to save it for me and made it worth rounding up to 4 stars.

This series is the equivalent of a mythological music video. It has beautiful imagery and some substance (but definitely not too much), but, even though it's just fluff, the nostalgia is so real and my 30s-year-old self loves it just as much as the 12 year old me that wanted desperately to be a badass goddess of the moon. It's absolutely terrible and I freaking love it so much.

Moon Demon does mark Ewing's transition to a more complex writing style than she exhibited in the earlier DotM books. It's a notable shift in sentence style and linguistic complexity from the super simplistic writing style used in DotM 1 - 6. You can even see the moments where she reverses into this simple style because you get single sentences like, "It made her emotional" in the midst of a well-thought out complex sentence. It makes for a bit of a jarring read, but having compound sentences that include not just the one-sided actions of the main character but some detailed exposition incorporated as character thoughts is a pretty nice change.

At this point, it's hard to write meaningful commentary about this series, but obviously, it tops book 5 lol

Can't remember how I found this series, but I liked it. I have yet to tread the last, but I want. It is just really interesting a and i love the whole thing with the bad guy. I recommend this for anyone who likes paranormal-y books.
