It looks rather large because its 3 books in one. So no wonder its so HUGE!!!
Its really good. Thats why I rated it 5 stars. If it wasn't really good, I don't think I would of rated it 5 stars unless I wanted to torture people by making them read this book since they think it is good and then they would find out it was bad and want to keep reading to see if there is a good part. And soon enough the book would be done and they would write their reveiw as the oppisite of mine. Luckily, I am an hone...more

I started reading this series when I was a young teenager. The stories were always captivating. The writing, on the other hand, wasn't exactly the best out there in YA today, but I have a feeling that perhaps it was because the target age was aiming for kids even younger than myself when I was a teen (9-14 y/o). There was excessive purple prose, it was unpoetically written, and there were constant descriptions of the clothes every single character was wearing. Ewing has commented before on the d...more

Daughters of the Moon is a rather long series, and this book is made up of the first three books. There are four main characters (Catty, Vanessa, Serena, and Jimena), and each book follows a different character’s storyline. I usually don’t like series that rotate character focus like that, but this one works well. The four characters are friends, so all of them are present in each book. These characters go through the discovery of their true fate (a typical good versus evil plot), and they learn...more
Includes "Goddess of the night", "Into the cold fire" and "Night Shade":
Four girls, four powers, one evil.
Vanessa can become invisible. But that's the biggest secret in her life. By meeting Jimena and Serena, she and her best friend Catty discover that they are more then just girls: they are Daughters of the Moon. Everyone of them has a special power like Invisibility, Mind reading, Travelling back in time and Premonitions.

Okay, so these books are intressting when aproching mythology, but it really feels like the author clicked "copy" and then "paste" when describing common events. The same words in the same order retelling events gets tiresome.
And i didn't really liked the pattern te books follow: All is well when one strange thing happens, things start to mess up, then the main girl gets ready for battle and the main fight comes about with some twist, and in the end she meets with the guy they're intrested in.

There was the first three books of this series in this one book. It is slightly more for a younger readers but I enjoyed the books. I really like the characters. There are four main girls who have powers given to them by Selene. She is the God who runs the moon across the sky following the sun so the moon can then reflect the suns rays. She falls in love with a mortal and leaves the moon. That is why we have no moon for three days every month. Zeus punishes her but her love for the mortal is too...more

Why was this not text-to-speech enabled? Maybe others don't find this to be a problem but I find I really need this feature to help me stay in the story beyond eye-strain.
The first book drew me in, in spite of my eyes. It was well written and characters well developed. But progressively through the three books the editing failed. In places, that lack of editing became very distracting and confusing as there were empty pages and continuity errors.
Even still the story kept me interested.

I had a couple of issues with these stories:
-The ages of the heroines vs. their actions don't match up. I kept thinking the girls were 17 or 19, which would have made what they were doing (not the paranormal stuff, but the "regular" stuff like traipsing about LA) more believable.
-Cut and paste was used often to describe characters or details from previous stories. I'm not sure if it would have been as noticeable if I read each book individually, but it was very noticeable in the bind-up.

These books get 3 stars because of the myths behind them. I've always been a sucker for the gods/goddesses. But as I read these book(s) it's just seems so cliche and predictable. Normally I'm all for that; however, lately I have read nothing but YA novels and I'm starting to get bored. I don't like the different points of views either. It does remind me a lot of the anime Sailor Moon. I take pride in rereading books but this will not be a book I visit again for years if not decades too come. If...more
I picked up this omnibus on a whim. I'd read the back of the book and thought it sounded interesting, and it's always a good idea to read more than one book in a series to determine if it's right for me. The first book in this volume quickly convinced me that it is right for me. I love the inclusion of romance in each story, and the characters are nicely complex. What I love the most however, is the nods to classical mythology and how they end up playing out in each story. I love the direction t...more

I had first picked up this series while in highschool and owned the first two books and decided to download this version with the first THREE books for Kindle. Overall it is okay. I find the whole series to be a little cheesy and stereotypical at times but hey, what am I honestly expecting? The first book in this series I think is the best, I struggled to get through Jimena's story. I would definitely read the next in the series though :)

I loooooved this book. I liked how each of the books were told from a different girl's point of view and how you could connect to each character. I also liked how Catty,Vanessa,Serena,and Jimena always stook together in the end even though they had problems. Even the evil Atrox couldn't break the girls' devotion to the daughters of the moon. Can't wait to continue reading this series.
This book is really good. I really like it. However, this seems a little expected. Once I read the first book of this series (in this volume), I knew what would happen (more or less) in the rest of this volume. Sighs. Still, this is a great book. (People should read it!!!!!) ☺☺
I loved this book it kept me reading it had some slow parts in it but just not enough to ruin the book. My favorite book out of this one is the second one Into the Cold Fire because it had so many twist and turns. I would recommend this book to my friends any day and if you’re not sure if you want to read it or not I think you should. So overall it was a good read and I ate it up.
This has the first three books in the Daughters of The Moon series by Lynne Ewing. Goddess of The Night, Into the Cold Fire and Night Shade. And I was hooked. Now I cannot wait to read the rest of the books. I believe there are ten more. The author is heavily influenced by mythology.
The first three introduces the four daughters of the moon: Vanessa, Catty, Serena and Jimena. They seem like regular LA teenagers into boys, books, clothes but they all are about to embark on a life changing journey...more

I really really enjoyed this collection of books. I can't say that I remember all of the details as it's been quite awhile but I keep the book on my shelf so when I run out of something new to read I'll have it handy.
I love the story behind the series. The only problem that I have with this series is the fact that they are 15 years old. The reason for that is they are acting more mature than they should be and that they have already experienced of falling in love. Other than that I love it.
I love the characters and the freshness of the reality of this book and the different powers! None too typical this book is! I really can't wait for more! Recommendation. Yes. Read it up!
This is a book lost for words. I loved reading this over and over again. I love the author and I'm glad I read it. I can't wait to read more. It has things I love in a book1
the books are completely amazing and it is full of questions and answers , trust plays a part in this series.
JUST READ THE BOOKS I PROMISE YOU WON'T REGRET IT

I love these books thus far, the only thing that bothers me is the characterization of the girls. I feel like there could be so much more. Also, my copy of the book has a ridiculously amount of careless spelling errors. At one point "Vanessa" is substituted for "Cassandra!"
it kinda let me down. esp the last story. I thought that the writing quality wasn't that great. But it was still an interesting plot. could have been done better...
was ok could have been a bit more suspensful and kinda bored me in some parts but other parts were great when the climax was at its peak.
I am in love with these books and can"t wait to read on in the series.
This book is pretty damn awesome I highly recommend it.
THIS IS AN AWSOME BOOK YOU SHOULD READ IT
