I am so proud of how Haunted Moon turned out! I have wanted to write Leeny's story for a very long time, but things were getting in the way.
I took a week, and let ,Aileen Fionna, tell her story. I hope that you enjoy it! Please leave me a review.
Love, Hugs, and Kisses,
Kymberlee xoxo

What a wonderful treat! I loved compulsion and was happy to see that there was a prequel! I actually picked it up the first day it was available. This is the story of Lilyann's grandmother and she was such a powerful influence in the lives of the characters in Compulsion that I was immediately drawn into this novella. One of the nice things about this novella is that if you are a compulsion lover, it adds to the tale. If you are new to the world of Compulsion, it gives you a chance to explore it...more

This book was great! I can not wait to read the second book in the series to see where this goes. I got this book for free and just now got to start reading it. It was an amazing 30 minute read for me. Haunted Moon is the back story to Compulsion. In Haunted Moon you follow the character Aileen or Leeny and how she is being taught by her mother the ways of the family. Who by the way are witches. In this book you will deal with vampires and witches, and Aileen has to learn how to protect her fami...more

I totally love this novella.
I didn't want to stop reading it, which is always a sign of an excellent book, and even better an excellent author.
I first of all loved the dialect that was used.
While I, of course, have never experienced the supernatural events of this book in person, I have experienced the real life struggles that Leeny goes goes.
I so felt for Leeny while she was going through both her family struggles, and her magical struggles. Being the eldest daughter, it has to be tough when...more

Once I picked this up I could not put it down. I really enjoyed this novella. It drew me in immediately and I was done before I realized it. That made me sad…wishing I had more!!

I really enjoyed Haunted Moon. I usually do not read books that are mostly about witches but Kymberlee Burks-Millers really made it an intriguing read. It was an easy read and the story flowed well. It kept my attention and had wanting to know what was going to happen next. I can't wait to read the next book to see how the story progresses.

Where to start? When I first read Compulsion I was in love. It was one of my first true five star books for review. So I was very excited when Kymberlee Burks-Miller posted that she was coming out with novella series books based on the Moon clan. It allowed me to continue on with the Moon family addiction. Luckily for me, Haunted Moon did not disappoint.

The first in the Moon series starts with Leeny Moon. Leeny has just gotten her first grimoire.... the same grimoire that Lilyann finds, and us...more

HAUNTED MOON by Kymberlee Burks-Miller
We all got a taste of what Kymberlee Burks-Miller could do when she released her debut novel Compulsion. And, we all fell in love with it instantly as evidenced by all of the artwork, personal stories, and volunteerism of fans from all over the world. In the beginning of the story we met Lily, The teenage girl main character who would go on to become a powerful witch leading her Moon Coven against evil vampires. Lily receives a cell phone call from her dad....more

I love the cover on this short story companion to the Moon Coven Series by the author. And I really loved that it could be a stand alone book since I have not yet read the first book, Compulsion. The author brilliantly weaves a tale that leaves you wanting more. I loved reading about the characters and can't wait for the re-release of Compulsion to be able to continue following them! I recommend this book to everyone who likes a good witch story :)

I loved this novella. Being able to see another side of Lenny before she became a kick butt Wiccan was great.

We get to meet her at sixteen right before she becomes member of the Moon Coven and see her struggle with becoming a witch and fighting for those she is suppose to protect. But one day everything changes when her sister is threatened. Lenny looks into herself and finds the courage she needs to stand up to the vampires and accept her place in the Coven.

My Thoughts:
Haunted Moon was a great novella. The beginning of the book started off a little slow. However, after the first vampire attack, the book got much better. Haunted Moon is a prequel to Compulsion. Based on how much I liked Haunted Moon, I will definitely read Compulsion. There were a couple of grammar errors that I found. Other than the beginning of the book, the plot flowed smoothly. I loved the way Haunted Moon ended. It set up a plot for Compulsion perfectly. I thought the idea of w...more

Haunted Moon by K.B. Miller

This book preludes Compulsion. It’s a Novella. It’s Lilyann’s grandmother’s story. It was my introduction into the Moon Coven world. Leeny is a young witch about to be initiated into her coven, when she sees her mom kill a vampire, and that shakes her desire to become a witch. It was a beautifully written story about a girl coming into her own and deciding whether she can handle the darker parts of being a witch.
It was a new world in which witches were responsible for...more

“What a powerful little package,” that’s what I found when I read Haunted Moon!! They say that good things come in little packages, but so does dynamite.. Well in the case of this explosive novella, that’s a good thing J

I absolutely loved this novella, but I didn’t want it to end so fast.. Ugh L Thank you Kymberlee for such a explosive read.

Lenny is a young witch (or soon to be witch) in the most powerful of covens, the Moon
Coven. Not just any witch, but the thirteenth female Moon witch.

I feel very much in the minority since I didn't enjoy this one too much. I have a feeling that it's more enjoyable to read this prequel after the first book Compulsion (The Moon Coven Series #1). This story was extremely short (about 35 pages), and so I didn't really get invested in any of the characters. The premise is an interesting one: witches are charged with destroying vampires and protecting humans. There may even be some "good" vampires out there as well. I'm not sure if I just didn't take to the writing style or if it was...more

This novella was very well writen. I loved the story and getting to know Leeny and seeing her struggles about becoming a witch, and if it is ment for her. Great consept to put together, witches and vampire. Who doesnt love them and emerging them two, was a great idea. I cant wait to read the next full novel. I love how K. B. Miller ended the novella.

This is the second book I’ve ready by KymberleeBurks-Miller and I was very anxious to get to read it. I feel completely in love with her first book in the Moon Cover Series, Compulsion. This book is the first novella and is a touch on the back story of Grandma Leeny Moon. It was great learning more about when Leeny first became a witch. The story defiantly shows how not even the strongest or most confident were always strong or completely confident. This was a great first novella and a great pac...more

For a novella, this book was incredible. I am now HOOKED and have to read this series.

I am a huge fan of witches. Especially witches from the 1800's and the 1900's. I love the history that goes along with a family of witches. This book DOES NOT DISAPPOINT!

I was instantly set in the Irish scene with the young, soon to be witch Leeny Moon. She is almost 16 and ready to become a full powerful witch like her dear mother. After an event that almost changes her mind to even embrace her heritage, Leen...more

Having not read the series before, I can say that this story alone is a nice start, a nice background or foundation for the series in my mind. It has a well put together beginning, middle, and end, and enough action to keep you interested. I know I was! I finished it in one read and was completely satisfied. It really was something worth picking up and enjoying.

This story leads with one of two sisters having come of age to join in her mother’s coven, but she is shaken by an encounter of the vamp...more

If there is anything wrong with Haunted Moon, then it's the length. I wanted more! Well, to be fair, I knew it was a novella, so the length really isn't a complaint...I just WANTED MORE. The story was engaging, the characters believable, the drama and tension well played, and the dialogue nicely paced. I especially enjoyed the tension between the family members. Gripping and realistic.

Others have given a summary, so I won't. Suffice it to say, this nibble of Kymberlee's work makes me want to fe...more

Haunted Moon
By Kymberlee Burks-Miller

I have to say I am now a proud member of The Moon Coven and cant wait for more. I love how Kymberlee incorporated family traditions and the importance of what legacies that each family member contributes to who you are. Family is one that is worth fighting for in life and I was not disappointed in this touching and compelling story. The way she was able to bring life to the characters you couldn't not love each and everyone of them. I am looki...more

I haven't read anything by K.B. Miller until this, but I will now! This book is fast paced and intriguing! I really want to know whats next for Leeny and Colleen Moon. The story is very well written leading to the next book in the series.

This story is about Leeny who is unsure of whether or not she wants to be a Witch after witnessing her mother in action. After a turn of events, she ends up deciding which way she will go. She becomes initiat...more

This is a novella written by Kymberlee Burks-Miller which shows Leeny Moon, Lilyann Moon's grandmother, as a teenager growing up in Galway, Ireland. This is a fantastic short story that shows a teenager on the cusp of being accepted into her family's wiccan circle. Leeny is a strong character in Compulsion, but in this novella, we see her as an uncertain teen who is only just learning her craft. I thoroughly enjoyed this novella, and hope to read the next story in the Compulsion series soon. If...more

The second installment tells the story of Aileen/Leeny moon, Lily's grandmother and her training to become a witch. Unlike Lily, Leeny knew she was a witch and was studying to start her combative training in preparation to join the Moon Coven.

It's far more intense than Leeny realised as reality is obviously far different that just studying from a book. Her ethics are questioned when seeing her mother destroy a vampire which has attacked them and Leeny has to make a choice on which is the right a...more

Aileen-Fionna Moon is a young witch, excited at the thought of becoming a witch until she witnesses her mother kill a vampire. The attack should not have affected her as it did. The war between the witches and vampires is nothing new. It was her job to protect. And yet, the death of the vampire haunts her. Suddenly, she finds herself struggling with her Wiccan heritage and her own beliefs of good and evil.

Haunted Moon is a great teaser for Kymberlee's Moon Coven Series. It's a fast and easy read...more

Okay, so I'm supposed to tell you about me...
Seriously, if I wrote a book about myself it would take you 10 minutes to read and you would be bored stiff after the first 2! LOL

I'm a full-time writer, wife, and mother. Which basically means there's always a surplus of pencils lost somewhere in my hair, I usually have some place to be(I'm always late), I have a bad habit of calling family and friends...more
