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.

Now I really show my age... 14 year-olds out and about L.A. county, dressed for sex, with just each other as guides? Well, I guess there wouldn't be a story if there were actual parental units in their lives. I'm sure young girls eat this stuff up.

I will pass with the rest of the series, especially without text-to-speech.

Goddess of the Night Daughters of the Moon 1 Lynne Ewing Books Reviews

Got my wife the first one and the second one she's been a long time fan and is really enjoying both.
Book is in great condition. No rips or stains. Came in a package too big for the book, and a sticker on the front cover (hate stickers on my books). Other then that I am happy.
I loved this book. It reminded me of the sisters of isis volume. I recommend this book to everyone and i also recommend the sisters of isis book. I love Lynne Ewing's work. She's an amazing author! This book was well written and full of drama, action, and romance. I can't wait to read the second volume! <3
Great book, came as expected and I'm so happy that I purchased this! It came just in time for my trip up in Seattle and I had something to do on the plane.
A great introduction to fantasy for younger girls. Features a diverse cast and fantastic multifaceted characters (yay). However the series does go on for over twelve books so be prepared to be sucked in.
Daughters of the Moon 1 Goddess of the Night by Lynne Ewing is a fun fantasy novel about Vanessa Cleveland, a Los Angeles teen who has the ability to disappear, but only when her emotions are strongest. She keeps this power secret from everyone except for her best friend, Cattie, who has the power to time jump. The two of them try to figure out why they have these powers and who is the mysterious person or creature that has been following Vanessa at night. Vanessa's powers make her romantic life nearly impossible because when she gets close to the boy she likes, Michael, her emotions cause her molecules to move and separate. Definitely not a good thing when you are trying to fit in at school.

I like when books bring a bit of myth or history into books, and Ewing does this when Vanessa learns that she is a goddess of the moon. In the prologue of the book, we are told the Greek myth of Selene, the goddess in charge of driving the moon through the sky each night. Selene falls in love with a human, Endymion, and is punished by Zeus. Zeus puts her human love into an eternal sleep, but she still visits him for a few days a month, which explains why we have no moon every twenty-eight days. It was a good choice to include this into the story because it brings a kind of weight to the book as Vanessa's life parallels Selene's Vanessa seems to be cursed as she tries to have a normal life and a relationship with Michael.

Here is an example of some amazing sensory details as Vanessa has a disaster while invisible and floating around Hollywood

She was near Sunset and Vine when a sudden gust hit her hard. She hadn't been prepared for a change in wind. Before she could collect herself and dive for shelter, another rush of air caught her. Her molecules scattered in two directions. She concentrated hard and almost had them back when a blast whistled into her and spun her into a dangerous vortex. A strong uprising wind split her apart.

Cold seeped into every cell. Even with total concentration she could no longer feel all of her body. Toes, knees, and femurs were gone. Not invisible, just no more. Panic set in. This had never happened before.

The moments when Vanessa comes apart are my favorite parts of the book because I can feel what it would be like to have my molecules fly apart and float over Los Angeles. Ewing had fun writing these parts, so we do too.

I was happy to see that Ewing included some strong female characters. Vanessa, the protagonist, is a much stronger young girl than, say, Bella in Twilight by Stephanie Meyer. Vanessa, like Bella, is smart and well read; they also both are crazy about a guy - or guy vampire in Bella's case. Bella seems to live only for Edward, willing to surrender her life and will for a cold eternal life with this guy she's known a short while. On the other hand, although Vanessa is crazy about Michael (she starts to disintegrate every time they get close), she brushes him off when he makes an unwanted pass on her. Although she engages in some risky behavior - sneaking out and smuggling friends into her room by the window without her mom's permission - she always shows she has a spine. Her friend Cattie is even more confident she risks her life by going back in time to see who has been chasing her friend, Vanessa.

On a few occasions I have issues with some character motivations. Morgan has a superficial friend, Morgan, who repeatedly sells her friend out so guys would like her more. Sometimes she does this right in front of Vanessa, and it didn't ring true to me. Why Vanessa continues to be a friend to Morgan is a mystery to me. Also, I didn't buy it when Vanessa refuses to believe that she is a moon goddess. After all, she knows she has the power to disappear, and her friend has the power to travel through time, yet she doesn't believe it when her new friends (also with powers) bring her to a woman that clearly explains her powers and why she has them. What more does she want?!

As far its theme, I think Daughters of the Moon 1 is about friendship - why good friends are important and how dangerous bad friends can be. Vanessa is helped in so many ways by her friends - they even save her life on occasion. We learn - even if Vanessa doesn't - that some "friends" like Morgan are only out for themselves and you should distance yourself from them. Morgan gets her comeuppance, though, when she befriends a bunch of good-looking but very evil people that nearly suck the life out of her - literally.

I gave the book a 9 mostly because of the way Lynne Ewing makes us feel both Vanessa's emotions and how her strong feelings cause her molecules to separate. The teen years are very emotional ones and sometimes our passions - and body - seem out of our control. The book brilliantly uses fantasy to make this feeling a reality with Vanessa. I look forward to see where Ewing takes Vanessa next.
I read these books a decade ago in middle school. While reading, they transported me into
another world and really helped me through my troubled tweens. I purchased both volumes for my boyfriend's niece.
I recommend these books for people of all ages.

P.s.- I received the next day and book was in wonderful condition for a used book. I am extremely happy with this purchase.
THANK YOU!
These books are amazing!!! I cant think of any other word for them. No complaints at all what so ever. I absolutely love the first three and I am about to read the next ones. Lynne is a great author. You should also read her "Sisters of Isis" series. That's not quite as go ed, but it's still great. Read her books, you won't be disappointed.
