The Review: I'd been thinking about reading this series for a while now and to be honest, I was a little put off by some of the reviews I had seen around. In the end curiosity won and I really did enjoy story.
Moonlight follows the life of Kayla. Kayla loves the woods, always has and when she's there she feels home. She take a summer job working she is instantly drawn to a boy named Lucas. He always watching her from a distance and she thinks he hates her. As they get to know each other, Kayla releases things aren't as they seem and it is believed that wolves live in the woods she's working in. When Kayla is suddenly in danger, a wolf comes to her rescue and then her life is overturned - one where wolfs really do exist and there is more to them than meets the eye.
Firstly, I'd like to say don't be put off reading this book by my review mark. I rated it 3 out of 5 because I believe for me, that was the best it was going to get. Its a easy read, ideally targeted for a younger audience, with a easy flowing story line that wasn't to complicated. One I found, I really enjoyed.
The story is full of suspense, I have to say I was sitting on the edge of my sit watching Kayla's & Lucas's story unfold. I was so desperate for them to be together and the final result was amazing. The way the author tied their story into the book was actually pretty great. I also enjoyed that we found the backstory about the wolves and what I loved most was how they find out their soul mates. It was really beautiful and unique to read about, one I will look forward to reading more.
Even though this book was from Kayla's point of view, you still get little hints of what the next book will be about and I think its been set up nicely to continue the next book in the series from another point of view. Overall, I really enjoyed this and I'm glad I started this series despite some of the negative comments.

I liked this series. It was just an easy and fun read. Great review :)
I hadn't heard of this series until now so thank you ;) ! I will check it out on Goodreads !! Thanks for the review.
This made it to my DNF pile unfortunately; I think I stuck it out until about half of the book before I decided that it was just not for me. As you pointed out, I felt like the book was geared more towards younger readers. Glad you enjoyed it though.
I have the Indonesian version of Moonlight. The cover is better. I hope the translations result is not disappointing. Will grab this book soon.
