The Final Eclipse (Daughters of the Moon #13)
by
Lynne Ewing
Vanessa, Serena, Jimena, Catty, and Tiana are five seemingly ordinary girls from Los Angeles. But the truth is that they are all far from ordinary. They each have a secret power that separates them from others--and makes them Daughters of the Moon.
Now, on the eve of Vanessa's seventeenth birthday, the Daughters face their final battle against the evil Atrox. But in saving...more

The Final Eclipse
In the 5th grade my friend and I just started playing the flute so we signed up for the school lessons. We wanted to be in the school band, so we went to all our lessons and the band teacher told us once we learned enough notes and we can play, then we could be in the band. We really wanted to be in the band with all our friends so we went to all the lessons and we practiced together after school at each others houses, and we never gave up. One day we went to our lesson and he...more

Finally - this is the ending I was hoping for. Action packed and full of easy going details that really helped the story flow well. Although I would have liked to hear from all of the girls, rather than just having it told in Vanessa's point of view, it still was nice to hear a final goodbye from all of them.
I like the idea that Jimena has plans to train a new round of Daughters. And I like that Vanessa is finally starting to accept her gift and like it, even though it's about time since it's t...more

Toward the beginning of high school, possibly 9th grade, I read my very first "Daughters of the Moon" book. I read book two of the series first. Then I read the first second. I continued reading the series out of order, because I was interested in Serena and Vanessa's life but I didn't care too much for Catty's and I didn't like Jimena's character at all. (I ended up coming back and reading Catty's; however, I actually never read any of Jimena's books.) But even reading out of order and skipping...more
I'm so very sad this series is over. I can't imagine reading it back when it came out, and having to wait months upon months to get the next book. I devoured this entire series in less than 2 weeks!
I am so glad there was a 13th book, because it answered all the questions. (Except Maggie's baby. Seriously, WHY DIDN'T THEY EVER TALK ABOUT HER BABY? Surely whoever her baby was had to have been important, right?)
I was so saddened at the end of this book. I wasn't expecting all of the characters to...more

I began reading this series about 9 years ago and continued reading as new books came out. Therefore, this review is for the collection as a whole. I have to say that although it has taken a long time to finish, I greatly enjoyed the story. Lynne Ewing's writing, although simple and sometimes repetitive, gave sharp discriptions and decent character development. In general, it was a great teen series. I am very sure, at this point in my life, I would not have the same fulfillment from the series...more
The actual ending to the series that came out years after the other 12. It took me just a little over an hour to finish, but boy am I glad I found it. A very satifying ending to a great series to grow up with.
I haven't read this book but I read the rest of this series. I thought I finished the series but I didn't. I also can't find this book in the library! MUST.. GET.. BOOK..
this book is an interesting book. Its the last book of the series and it is mainly about what the girls choose to be.
this book was about the final eclipse,not only of the world but also of the daughters of moon and there friendship.
i had no idea she made another book! i want to read this so bad!!
I loved it so much. It made me cry, but only a little.
It really wrapped everything up.
CHECKED OUT THE BOOK FROM MY PUBLIC LIBRARY.

This was an extremely disappointing end to the whole series. We found out the Sons of the Dark are dead. What was the Legend of Four even supposed to accomplish? Clearly nothing. Lame.
We find out there will be four new daughters, but I bet they're also going to be like... fifteen and sixteen (most likely sixteen because Maddie in Sons of the Dark was CLEARLY meant to be one, and she was already able to drive on her own), so basically, they get one year to figure it all out before they either die...more

Book Thirteen The Final Eclipes: What a sad but happy ending i am not gonna give anything away other than it left me satified with the series but wanting more of Lynns writing and i am happy to announce she has more on the way and good thing about being a little behind lol i don't have to wait, I am going on to the Sons of the Dark series and then The sisters of Isis series. Pick up a book :)
I love this series. I love this book. I love this ending.
At first I wasn't thrilled that this book was in Vanessa's point of view. I don't particularly like Vanessa very much. But I see how fitting it is: start with Vanessa and end with Vanessa. This book surprised me. I totally thought The Becoming was the last book and then suddenly this was out and I had a little more story to look forward to.
I wish there had been a little more Serena and Stanton in this book, since they're my favorites. And...more

I had no idea there was another book, let alone the finale book in this series.
Finally read it and I don't know, expected something more.
I don't remember much from this series, its been years since I read these.
Still, the series is good, with some good, to okay, to are you serious, type moments.
It also has characters from the Sons series. Might read those.

this book is about vanessa who is just about to turn seventeen and make the biggest decision of her life and when her life couldnt get any worse it does. in between loosing friends and being kidnapped its a wonder how she doesnt just break down into tears instead she holds it together to be as brave and couragouse for her loved ones
AHH!! The very last one!! I looked for this book for years!! The author wasn't going to write this one!! I am so glad she did, or else we would have never known what would have happened!! The book before this leaves the ending completely open!! So many people asked her to write this book!! I, personally, am glad!!
I have mixed emotions about this book. I just didn't like the ending. Only 2 Goddesses left and Vanessa decides to be normal w/o her memories. What so good about being normal anyway lol.
I did like what Jimena said to Vanessa though "When you lose yourself in order to do what you think other people expect from you, then it is." Very true words

I was very sad too see this book series finish. THis book was a great ending for all the books. Vanessa i feel you beucase u feel you would be by yaself becase serena decided too stay in the other world...
Äntligen sista boken i serien, de blev allvarligare och allvarligare vilket jag inte gillade lite mycket men det var ett bra men sorgligt avslut. Kul att återvända till Vanessa igen.
This is still a good book for the reluctant reader, teen girl. This final book for the series felt a bit like the author was phoning it in, though. In fact, the author says she thought she was done, but her fans clamored for another one.
One of the things the girls always knew was that when they turned a certain age, they had to make a Choice. Either they would forget everything about being a goddess, or they wouldn't, but they would no longer be around, and what happens on the other side of that...more

I loved it!!!!! I wish it wasn't the end I want to know what happens to them after this and how they are doing. I can't believe it's over.!
I think this was a bit of a sad ending. The cover was horrible, for starters, and Stanton needs to get over himself.
I loved all the books and this was an awesome ending to the series. this series got me into reading again
This book was really great and all but Ewing didn't do such a great job finishing the sires I liked so much.

Great ending to the series. Have been a fan of this series for years and it really is an easy read
It was awesome, just like the whole series, it has the most unique ending you'll ever read.
I wanted a little more from this conclusion to the series but at the same time, it was the way it should be given the primary character that this installment of the series focused on.
