Jimena was once the toughest chola in East L.A. No longer in a gang, she is still feared by many. Nothing scares Jimena. Nothing, that is, except the reappearance of Veto, who was once the love of her life. That terrifies her, because Veto was killed a year ago by a rival gang. Or was he?

Best book series!

The characters are amazing and so inspirational.

Great Book

I love this book I have the first two and I can't wait to have the rest of them.

A love that lasts even after death...

Veto had always told Jemina that not even death could part them. I guess he wasn't lying. A year after his death, Veto has come back to be with Jemina. He claims that his death never really happened. That he couldn't tell her where he was. Jemina accepts that. She loves Veto, and wants to be with him. No matter what...At least that's what she thinks. Stanton tells Jemina that Veto is something called a Shade (basically a ghost) that has been animated by the Atrox for some higher plan to bring about the downfall of the Daughters of the Moon. Jemina refuses to believe it. But she can't deny the fact that it does seem that Cassandra has some big plan. And the fact that even the Inner Circle (most powerful of the Atrox fallowers) have taken an interest in the plan.It also doesn't help that Jemina can't help but be attracted to Serena's brother Collin. But will she choose Collin over Veto????And in the end, will she be able to accept the truth about her love? Will Veto betray her? Will the Daughters of the Moon survive?GREAT book! I really like Jemina. She is the really strong, independant type, and that makes her fun to read about.

Awesome!

This book is my fav out of the series. Its awesome! Jimena meets the love of her life that was killed a year ago on enemy territory, Veto. And of course the only reason he was there was that he thought she needed his help. Jimena thinks that he had been hiding himself for a year, but he had made a deal with the Atrox that threatens the Daughters of the Moon. Can the girls save Jimena, who is so desperatly trying to save Veto?

Jimena has to face a familliar figure from her past

Everyone knows Jimena as one of the must stubborn and bravest members of the daughters of the moon, but in this book we learn how she got her bravery. Before Jimena found out she was a Goddess she was one of the toughest girls in a gang. Everyone was afraid of her and she knew it. But now that she's shed her bad girl past, a famillar face is comign back to haunt her. It's Veto, a long lost dead boyfriend from her past. What is Veto? Is he real? Did he ever die? Is he back for good? Or is he just an evil tool of the atrox set out to destroy the goddesses. Jimena dosen't know but she's about to find out.Like the last two books in the series Night shade is exciting and a page turner. I toatally reccomend this book for fans of the series and the supernatural. I can't wait to read the next book in the series, The Secret Scroll, which stars Catty.

Night Shade

In Night Shade, Cassandra, a Follower is planning to take down the Daughters of the Moon. She even goes back to the past to change an event but you don't know what has been changed because it is already something in their past and as Catty says in the book, you can't change something in the past unless it was already meant to be. The weird thing is that Veto, Jimena's past love, appears who you think is already dead. Then you learn that Veto made a pack with the Atrox so that he could be with Jimena because they said that nothing would separate them, including death. This is a great book and I recommed it to anyone.

Jimena follows her heart straight to Tartarus.

Before Jimena Castillo found out about her true identity, she was part of a gang and considered the toughest chola in East L.A. But after finding her true identity as a Daughter of the Moon and why she has the power to see into the future, she started to rebuild her life. Everything was going pretty good until the love of her life, Veto, came back to her. The problem with this is that Veto has been dead for a year. Veto claims that he has been alive the entire time, but Vanessa, Serena, and Catty, the other three Daughters of the Moon, think he is working for the evil Atrox. Jimena insists that they are wrong. But when her love for Veto leads her to Tartarus, a dark abyss below Earth's surface, will she be able to fight the anger in her heart or will she give into it? If she does give into her anger she will make the Atrox so powerful that even the Daughters of the Moon would be unable to stop it. This book was a great addition to the Daughters of the Moon series, and if you liked the first two you should definitely read this one.
