Becky Blantons Look for Me by Moonlight Review

This was one of the best books I've ever read. I can relate with Cynda, I under stand how she's feeling. In the begaining of the story her father leaves her family for an 18-year old student in his english class. Then when she goes to stay with her stepmother and her father she has the time to worry about everything. She becomes frightened that Suson(her stepmother) and Tod(her hafe brother) will not like her. Then she worries that she will not like them. When she gets to the airport she discovers that no one is there to great her. The waitingroom is completly emty. Soon she begains to worry some more about her father's safty. After almost two hours of waiting he finaly get there. On the way to the inn thay stop at a small dinner for some coffie and a bite to eat. After they've finished they set off again. When they finaly step out of the truck in front of the old in Cynda is very wormly greated by Suson and Tod. Early the next day a young boy by the name of Will shows up. Cynda find out that he is quite the artist. With in the hour she has a crush on Will. Later that night a handsome stranger named Vincent M. shows up at the inn looking for a room. When they envite him in they learn that he is a writer. Cynda quikly falls for the hansome stranger. When Cynda learns the truth about him she trys to fight him off but has no luck. So she goes to will for help. Together they devise a plan to get rid of Vincent once and for all. Once Vincent is gone they return to the inn to find that her father and stepmother had phoned the cops for fear that THEIR children were kidnapped. Cynda finaly feels at home at the inn. She learned that Suson and her father realy did care for her. This story goes thore some real life pain, fear, love, and hate. This is the book that I will read to my children and I hope that in the years to come it shall become a tradition in our family. Becky Blanton

Seductive Winter Madness

When I was in the eighth grade I accidentally picked up this book out of boredom during a study hall. When I returned to study hall I began reading it and I have never been the same since. It is my favorite book of all time. I've read it at least eight times and hope to read it more. Cynda reminded me so much of myself- unsure, emotional, a child of divorced parents. As the book progressed I felt myself falling in love with Vincent alongside of her. Now on every snowy night I turn off the lights and stare out into the darkness, imagining that he is there, and a shiver goes down my spine. I recommend this book to everyone- it has many important lessons to teach about trust and the naivety of young teenage girls.

Wow

I first read 'Look For Me By Moonlight' two years ago on recomendation from my school's librarian, and I fell in love with it immediatly! I rarely read stories in the horror or romance genres, but I read this book several times when I borrowed it from the library and now I'm lucky enough to own it. I can't get enough of this book, every time I read it, especially at night, it sends shivers down my spine. Great if you want to get someone hooked on vampire stories, also for veterens of the genre (I made my mom, a horror afficianado, read this, and she loved it, too)

Predictable, but good

Even if this book by Ms. Hahn is VERY predictable, that does not by all means make it a bad book. It is obvious from begginning that Mr. Morthanos is an evil character, despite his wit and charm. It is obvious that Cynda will be captivated. Though it doesn't have a very strong ending you will find yourself unable to put the book down and will read it over and over again.

This book is good

I really loved this book. It was excellent. I couldn't put it down for second. I think Mary Dawning Hahn is a very good writer. I've read a lot of her books, but I think this onewas the best of all of them. the story is about a girl named Cynda that is 14. Her mom and step-father travel around the world, so she has to go live with her dad. While she's there she meets a guy she likes and his name is Vincent. He is way older than she is. One thing I like about this book is when they first meet. One thing I disliked about this book was it started kinda slow.I think people who like vampire romance novels should read this book. If you want to know more about this book this book read it.
