Despite, or maybe because of, the dark adventures our heroine, Sweeney, witnesses and partakes of, this book really spoke to me and reminded me very strongly of my own younger adventures.

    <body><![CDATA[Rather an amazing combination of horror, fantasy, mythos and suspense.  From the beginning when a main character takes an ancient, crescent-shaped blade and...well, let me just say I was riveted to the story from the start.  <br/><br/>The title caught my eye in a bookstore.

    <body><![CDATA[This is my second time through Waking the Moon, and it is just such a PLEASURABLE book, lush and spooky and expansive. On first read I expected a horror novel, and was a little disappointed, but taken as a feverishly overwritten dark fantasy, it can't be beat. It reminds me a lot of Neil Gaiman's Am...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/48723779">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[The first part of the book, involving three college friends (the rich beauty, the fey dude, and the smart girl hiding behind her glasses) is a bit reminiscent of The Secret History in its rich language and strong ties between friends - as well as messing about with things that should be left alone. ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/25072595">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Parts of this novel, especially the beginning, reminded me of <em>The Secret History</em>. It's chock full of secret societies, beautiful fey boys, and people awakening goddesses that maybe should have been left sleeping... My friend Jen would probably have a thing or two to say about some of the history/ant...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/17799967">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[One of my fave guilty pleasures and an &quot;old friend&quot; book -- the kind I know I can take on a long plane ride, for instance, and be entertained no matter what. I know the story inside and out, but it's not matter -- I adore the characters and the totally predictable plot.

    <body><![CDATA[I am not sure what to classify this book as; dark fantasy is the closest I can come up with. Don't be fooled by the school of magic, this is no Harry Potter. Using a mixture of goddess myths, this book describes the return of a dark, destructive goddess. There are few clear &quot;good guys&quot; her...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/8657578">more...</a>]]></body>
