I really, really enjoyed this book and am looking forward to reading the rest of the series. However, I didn't find it "amazing", so I couldn't give it all five stars. It was good, great even, but I don't know that the characters and their story will stay with me as others have.

For me, even though there was suspense and romance and some edge-of-your-seat scenes, I didn't feel that grip on my emotions that I have with other books. Maybe because the book is so short (only 263 pages), maybe because I had to keep putting it down because life was getting in the way.

Regardless, Moonlight is an excellent quick read with likable characters (Lucas? Swoon!) and a fast moving plot. The end is wrapped up nicely for the lead characters, Kayla and Lucas, with enough left open to continue to the series.

I will definitely read the rest of the Dark Guardian series and recommend it to others who enjoy a little shifting with their YA romances. :) ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/75981872 After the Moment (Hardcover) by Garret Freymann-Weyr
