It was great because I noticed things I hadn't seen the first time. I love delving back into Lynne Ewing's world and reuniting with old characters I fell in love with years ago! Wow, I haven't read this book for ages, so I didn't remember much from it.

But I must say it was a lot better when I was younger. It really feels like this book is for the younger generation.

But any young adult can read it too. The first book (this one) is more like an introduction, we get to know the characters and know where they come from, and of course the abilities they're possessing. This might be good to know and learn before you read, just in case so you won't get confused. The abilities are: Wow, I haven't read this book for ages, so I didn't remember much from it.

This might be good to know and learn before you read, just in case so you won't get confused. The abilities are: Vanessa - Can become invisible just like a ghost or spirit, which isn't so good when she's dating guys. Catty - Can travel through time, and that's not always good, you'll see.

Serena - Can read minds, but only if you feel it so it's real thoughts and not like 'A dog have black spots'. Or something like that.

Jimena - Can see the future, well, that's all I have to say about her. These people are the daughters of the moon, goddesses. And They have to save the world from Atrox and their followers who wants to destroy all hope and happiness in the world. But don't forget that the so-called 'bad' or 'evil' people also hava a good side that might have been forgotten. No one is pure evil, everyone has a reason for their actions.

This is a review for the whole series (13 books). The idea for the series, super-powered girls based in Greek myth, was great. I also liked that each book had a different p.o.v. Some of them were really interesting. Unfortunately, the series just drags on.

Unfortunately, the series just drags on.

It never feels like they gain any ground in their fight. To make matters worse, the author wraps up everything in a single book without any kind of build up at all. The reason for this is the cancellation of the sequel/companion series, Sons of the Dark, that was supposed to continue the Daughters of the Moon story but with new characters. When Sons of the Dark was suddenly cancelled, the author had to quickly put together an end to the Daughters series and, honestly, it kind of sucks. There's a lot of stuff going on, there's no rehash of what's happened (which is sort of necessary because the final book takes place after the Sons of the Dark series ends thus other stuff has happened), and what happens to each of the girls is kind of depressing. So I read this book last night, and upon reaching the last page, immediately closed it and grabbed the second book in the series. So it's not until this morning that I actually reflected upon how I felt about the book.

Honestly, not sure if it was really that great or not. It was a VERY quick read and somewhat immature. But I think the reason I got so pulled into it was the mythological aspect. I've always been fascinated with the entire premise of mythology.

So it's not until this morning that I actually reflected upon how I felt about the book. Honestly, not sure if it was really that great or not. It was a VERY quick read and somewhat immature.

But I think the reason I got so pulled into it was the mythological aspect. I've always been fascinated with the entire premise of mythology. I used to know all of the gods and goddesses by name, attributes, AND planet name. (Aphrodite is Venus! That's the only one I remember.) I was fascinated by all of the stories - like the one about Hades stealing Persephone to be his evil queen underground, or the one with the boy (man? Memory is fuzzy here) who goes into the cave to defeat some evil creature and brings a ball of string to help lead his way back out.

Just awesome stories. So a fiction book that incorporates some of this mythology into it is a must-read for me. I was hoping the awful House of Night books would delve more into mythology, but apparently they're too interested in having their main character be the class hoe. (Don't get me started, heh.) So anyway, this book was probably mediocre.

But for getting me excited about mythology again, it earns 3 stars. And as a side note (*possible spoiler?) how cool is it to introduce an 'evil' that is so strong, it convinced Lucifer to abandon Heaven and join the Dark Side? Now THAT is some powerful stuff. Can't wait to read the next 3 books - the 2nd one referenced the Hades-Persephone story in the first page!

=) *UPDATE* Huh, upon doing some research on here apparently there is something like 12 books - not 4, as I previously thought. So now I have to get to work getting the other 8. Oh my goodness! I had the hardest time getting through this book. Every time I put it down I didn't want to pick it back up again.

While in high school these were some of my favorite books and I thoroughly enjoyed them. This is a good perspective to look at them now because I see that I've grown up and matured but they are still great for teens. I have a new perspective on the subject matter now and I'm concerned that it idealizes what 14-15 year old girls think that they should look like. It co Oh my goodness!

I have a new perspective on the subject matter now and I'm concerned that it idealizes what 14-15 year old girls think that they should look like. It constantly talks about their curves, how they move, dance sensually, and I'm honestly feeling a little like old Aunt Agatha. I also noticed this time around how vapid and shallow their conversations are. They consist of no more than boys, clothes, personal problems and oh. Fighting the dark Followers of the evil Atrox. I thought these books were great in high school because they provided an escape from my boring, bubble living.

I wanted to know how trendy Hollywood kids lived but I don't think that the portrayal of these gorgeous girl goddesses are great role-models for girls. I was more than a little disappointed. Warnings: Some language but very moderate. Girls are highly aware of their sexuality. Daughters of the Moon 1: Goddess of the Night by Lynne Ewing is an intriguing fantasy novel about Vanessa Cleveland, a Los Angeles teen who has the ability to disappear, but only when her emotions are strongest. She keeps this power secret from everyone except for her best friend, Cassie, who has the power to time jump.

She keeps this power secret from everyone except for her best friend, Cassie, who has the power to time jump.

The two of them try to figure out why they have these powers and who is the mysterious person or creature that has been following Vanessa at night. Vanessa’s powers make her romantic life nearly impossible because when she gets close to the boy she likes, Michael, her emotions cause her molecules to move and separate.

Definitely not a good thing when you are trying to fit in at school. I like when books bring a bit of myth or history into books, and Ewing does this when Vanessa learns that she is a goddess of the moon. In the prologue of the book, we are told the Greek myth of Selene, the goddess in charge of driving the moon through the sky each night. Selene falls in love with a human, Endymion, and is punished by Zeus. Zeus puts her human love into an eternal sleep, but she still visits him for a few days a month, which explains why we have no moon every twenty-eight days. It was a good choice to include this into the story because it brings a kind of weight to the book as Vanessa’s life parallels Selene’s: Vanessa seems to be cursed as she tries to have a normal life and a relationship with Michael. Here is an example of some amazing sensory details as Vanessa has a disaster while invisible and floating around Hollywood: She was near Sunset and Vine when a sudden gust hit her hard.

She hadn’t been prepared for a change in wind. Before she could collect herself and dive for shelter, another rush of air caught her. Her molecules scattered in two directions. She concentrated hard and almost had them back when a blast whistled into her and spun her into a dangerous vortex.

A strong uprising wind split her apart. Cold seeped into every cell.

Even with total concentration she could no longer feel all of her body. Toes, knees, and femurs were gone. Not invisible, just no more. Panic set in. This had never happened before. The moments when Vanessa comes apart are my favorite parts of the book because I can feel what it would be like to have my molecules fly apart and float over Los Angeles.

Ewing had fun writing these parts, so we do too. I was happy to see that Ewing included some strong female characters. Vanessa, the protagonist, is a much stronger young girl than, say, Bella in Twilight by Stephanie Meyer.

Vanessa, like Bella, is smart and well read; they also both are crazy about a guy – or guy vampire in Bella’s case. Bella seems to live only for Edward, willing to surrender her life and will for a cold eternal life with this guy she’s known a short while. On the other hand, although Vanessa is crazy about Michael (she starts to disintegrate every time they get close), she brushes him off when he makes an unwanted pass on her.

Although she engages in some risky behavior – sneaking out and sneaking friends into her room by the window without her mom’s permission – she always shows she has a spine. Her friend Cattie is even more confident: she risks her life by going back in time to see who has been chasing her friend, Vanessa. On a few occasions I have issues with some character motivations. Morgan has a superficial friend, Morgan, who repeatedly sells her friend out so guys would like her more. Sometimes she does this right in front of Vanessa, and it didn’t ring true to me. Also, why Vanessa continues to be a friend to Morgan is a mystery to me. Also, I didn’t buy it when Vanessa refuses to believe that she is a moon goddess.

After all, she knows she has the power to disappear, and her friend has the power to travel through time, yet she doesn’t believe it when her new friends (also with powers) bring her to a woman that clearly explains her powers and why she has them. As far its theme, I think Daughters of the Moon 1 is about friendship – why good friends are important and how dangerous bad friends can be. Vanessa is helped in so many ways by her friends – they even save her life on occasion. We learn – even if Vanessa doesn’t – that some “friends” like Morgan are only out for themselves and you should distance yourself from them. Morgan gets her comeuppance, though, when she makes friends with a bunch of good-looking but very evil people that nearly suck the life out of her – literally. I gave the book a 9 mostly because of the way Lynne Ewing makes us feel both Vanessa’s emotions and how her strong feelings cause her molecules to separate. The teen years are very emotional ones and sometimes our passions – and body – seem out of our control.

The book brilliantly makes this feeling a reality with Vanessa. I look forward to see where Ewing takes Vanessa next. What I liked: -Vanessa Cleveland. She was a likeable main character. She worried about typical things many teenagers worry about–like if a boy she had a crush on liked her back, how she looked, her grades, curfew–but she didn’t sound conceited or vain doing it. She had a pretty authentic teenage voice, and I felt like she always made the right choice, even if she was a little slow to believe what Maggie was telling her about her powers. They were as diverse as the characters in the story, What I liked: -Vanessa Cleveland.

She had a pretty authentic teenage voice, and I felt like she always made the right choice, even if she was a little slow to believe what Maggie was telling her about her powers. They were as diverse as the characters in the story, and they were all pretty cool, and I felt like the author didn’t try and make one of them way more powerful than the others. They all kind of had advantages and drawbacks, like Vanessa turning invisible when she got nervous. The other powers—time travel, mind reading/control, and premonitions are pretty cool and I can see how they can be helpful throughout the rest of the series.

-Secondary cast. The four girls in this series are very different from each other, yet they’re best friends and they mesh together perfectly. I thought the author did a brilliant job making them all different and realistic while still making them seem like normal teenagers. He was serious and charming and dangerous and mysterious, and I loved his character. He’s bad, and everyone knows it, but he also has a secretive soft side that Vanessa manages to find and remind him of. I love their relationship throughout the series. What I disliked: -Writing.

It felt very juvenile, and even though I’m older than the target audience, I should have still been able to enjoy the writing, but I didn’t. It was very choppy and it didn’t flow very well, and it lacked description of any kind. These books are very short, and the writing is larger than average and so is the spacing, so that makes them even shorter than they appear.

They probably could have been either lengthened out or she could have made them parts and put more than one together. The book moved very slow in some places, and I felt like not a lot happened. But this is the first book in the series, and the rest get better. Overall, this is the first book in one of my favorite series from when I was younger, and I still love them to this day. I would recommend this book to anyone that enjoys a quick fantasy-like book with mythology and super powers. I will probably reread these many more times before I outgrow them.

So, what is she going to do when she starts dating Michael Saratoga? And to make matters worse someone has been following her. Has someone finally found out about her secret?

I decided to do a better review of the Daughters of the Moon series by Lynne Ewing since my first ones weren’t done very well. This book is really a fast read. I finished it in pretty much three days.;) Anyways, the book starts out great since it explains about the legend of Selene and how the daughters of the moon came to be, but it doesn’t go into that much detail about it. Also, there are 13 books in this series, so more information about the Daughters of the Moon and the Atrox will show up as the books progress, which is a good thing because it isn’t cramped all into one book The tone and dialogue reminds me a lot of my teenage years and my high school, so the author did a really good job at writing the book in teenage words and their world. The descriptions were also very well done, and both of these things made the book go a little bit faster than most other young adult books. So, I really like this book from this stand point.

Another thing I liked about this book is the mythology that is incorporated in it. Also, the character growth and their personalities are believable (for a supernatural book). I can’t wait until I re-read the next book in this series.

The plot isn’t that much different from other supernatural books or shows since it is basically teenage girls fighting evil, which might remind some people of Sailor Moon and several other anime. That might be way I like it since it kind of reminds me of most of the anime I watch. Oh, well, I like that and mythology so it was perfect book for me. Rating: 3/5 Goddess of the Night is the very first book in the Daughters of the Moon series, which I believe consists of 13 books. So, this book was more of an introduction to the world and the characters.

Even so, Goddess of the Night was a delight to read and I flew through it.

So, this book was more of an introduction to the world and the characters. Even so, Goddess of the Night was a delight to read and I flew through it.

The main character, Vanessa has a secret power, she can become invisible, she and her best friend Catty were always special but neither knows why. But lately Vanessa feels the shadows creeping around her and someone is always following her. When Catty goes missing, jumping through time, Vanessa has to figure out what she is and how she can use her powers in order to save her. Vanessa was not my favourite character in this book, so since this is her story there were a lot of things that didn't really appeal to me. But still I have to admire Vanessa for her compassion, this is a trait I always look for in fictional characters.

And even though she wasn't the most fun character to see through she was pretty decent. The one I really loved and can't wait to read from her PoV is Catty, she is kind of crazy, in a good way, and I loved her, even though we didn't get to see much of her in this book. Another thing I liked was the bad guys right hand, or whatever he was supposed to be. I love it when there are dark characters that yet have such good qualities about them. I am all about saving the bad boys so I can't resist.

All in all, this book was good. Nothing extremely special but I liked the setting and the girls so I can't wait to read more. This book was okay but not enjoyable.

I would read the sequel though. Problems I had with it: 1. Putting goddesses on the back. A fight scene that did not happen. June Ponal July Katre Tamil Mp3 Song Free Download. It was the necklaces that did most of the heavy lifting. The main character did nothing. Why wear dresses and high heels to fight?

Vanessa and Michael's relationship seem forced. The overuse of the word molecule. I can't feel my molecules, so how can she? Am I suppose to hate Stanton or love him? Right now I feel like he's a better boyfriend than Michael.

Vanessa has a problem with her invisibility, so how can she control it after trying it once? It went by too fast. Why is there a night club on Tuesdays? Things I liked: 1. At least Vanessa and her mother have a relationship. At least Vanessa is popular and nice. Vanessa and Catty have true friendship.

At least Vanessa has trouble with her invisibility and not automatically know to control it. At least the romance didn't completely overtake the action. At least Vanessa was worried about Morgan and Catty. I originally read this back in middle school or high school, and while I remembered that I enjoyed it, I couldn't remember much else about it. Upon rereading it recently, I still enjoy it, but I've now noticed some flaws with it.

Also tedious: the whole storyline where someone keeps following Vanessa, before her stalker is finally, finally, finally revealed. However, I do like that Ms. Ewing is trying to empower young women with this book and presumably the rest in its series, and that she tries to let those with depression know that they're not alone (and in fact, she even gives it a supernatural explanation). Overall, I liked this book, and look forward to getting my hands on the rest of the series.

When I was, I don't know, twelve or thirteen I guess, I checked this out from the library. I remember virtually nothing about it except that it was a complete 180 from anything I had read up to that point (or so I thought). It had teenagers who went to (I thought.I think?) risque parties and wore flashy clothes and basically did things well past my bedtime and the like. Also, I think it had some sort of goddesses.?

Also, I think it had some sort of goddesses.? Anyway, I was totally obsessed with this one in particular because of its cover. I would lay on my couch with this book and just daydream about the cover and the flashy, West Coast, nightlife-filled world in which it was set. I can't even really explain it now. For some reason, it just.enchanted me at the time, and I've had half-formed memories of it floating around my mind ever since.

With hindsight, it's probably not that great. I certainly don't remember enough of it to review it properly or even rate it, and I never even finished the series, but man, I sure did love this cover when I was a preteen. ~3/5 This was an average book for me. Vanessa is an average heroine, wanting to be normal and not become invisible at times. Her best friend can time travel, and Vanessa gets worried when she disappears. This leads to Vanessa meeting some other girls who have magical powers.

The whole set up of it reminded me of Sailor Moon, which made me want to like it more. But the writing is very blah, went by fast but didn’t really keep me interested. I didn’t care for any of the characters, or their problems. ~3/5 This was an average book for me.

They felt very one-dimensional, which made Catty’s disappearance that much more unexciting. I was bored through most of the book, and was happy to be done with it.

[Read more at my blog,!]. Alright, here's the deal. I bought these books like, literally 15 years ago or something. I read the first 10 I think? When I was 15 and I think I reread them another time when I was in college. I don't know WHY I got hooked, but I honestly did. I'm going 3.5 stars here and I honestly couldn't tell you why.

My rating is probably more so around how I felt about the book when I was 15, and not how I felt about now being 30. That's TOTALLY OK with me though.

Super quick reads are always really fun for me. Now, I haven't decided JUST YET how I'm going to tackle these reviews. There are SO many books and I read them SO fast. I think the best way is to just write down how I feel about each book, each character, how they come to me in the books, so here it goes. She's an interesting one, that's for sure.

I think she might be my least favorite goddess. Nothing really wrong with her, I just think she has probably one of the COOLEST powers and she just totally hates it. And that just bugs me. Probably because she just never wanted to really learn to CONTROL it. If she did that, she wouldn't keep going invisible and then becoming visible at like, THE WORST TIMES in the book.

This one moved slower to me than the others, but probably just because of back stories. Love all the girls, I love Maggie too.

Can't wait for more. Because yes, I'm 30 years old and I totally got sucked into a book series I started 15 years ago.

I've technically read most of this series, but it was over a decade ago. And I never read the final book because it came out a while after the 12th book, iirc. So I'm doing a re-read, which will be interesting as I'm now 27 versus 11-13. Nostalgia may give me rose-colored glasses, but here we go. I saw a review say that if you liked Sailor Moon, you would probably like this series.

I have to agree. The writing isn't amazing, but it's not awful.

It's adequate. I still enjoy the overall concept wit I've technically read most of this series, but it was over a decade ago.

I have to agree. The writing isn't amazing, but it's not awful. It's adequate. I still enjoy the overall concept with Greek mythology, and this series did inspire a lot of creativity when I was younger.

I would still recommend this series, but probably for a younger age (10-14). I think it would still be appreciated by that age range. It is a little cliche (okay, a lot, a lot), but I don't think I can take the rose-colored glasses off. I'd still give these to my spawn to read for fun. It's light and imaginative and why not.

The idea of Moon Goddesses is interesting and new, to me anyways. But I'm not sure if I can really get into the story. There was never anything really captivating me but I continued to read.

I finished the book a lot faster than I thought I could but I'm not sure if I can make myself endure the second in the series.
