Teenager Marjorie Emery eluded death. As she struggles to get her life back on track, she believes her efforts are paying off. Yet, when a black dressing, unfriendly, and incredibly handsome hottie walks into her classroom, she’s forced into a tailspin. Marjorie has no idea how much his presence is going to shatter what little tranquility she’s achieved.
Kyran Rousseau’s gloomy nature has a name, one that is potentially fatal under the right circumstances. His family harbors secrets and does everything to protect Kyran. While, he doesn’t want to ruin Marjorie’s normal life, love has a way of changing his plans.
Falling for Kyran is the least of Marjorie’s worries. With a faceless threat hunting her and a boyfriend who's as dangerous as he is good looking—how can Marjorie and Kyran keep all hell from breaking loose before it’s too late?
Minutes
later we arrived, and just in time for our eight a.m. classes.
Claire, Tracy, and I dispersed to our respective classrooms upon
entering the building, agreeing to meet later on for lunch.
Usually,
I’d sit in one of the chairs at the first row of tables, since I
barely made it in time for class; but today the only available seats
were at the back—where no one likes to sit because it’s too far
away from the writing board. No one paid attention to me as I scooted
by to the back of the classroom and grabbed one of the empty seats at
the last row of tables. The seat to the left of me was empty and
everyone else had chosen their seats, so I was a little relieved that
I wouldn’t be sharing the table with anyone. I wasn’t in the mood
for small talk, so sitting alone came as a bonus.
When
a few moments had gone by and no one else showed up, the teacher
began his lecture for the day. With book, notebook, and pen in hand,
I began to take notes of what the teacher was either saying or
writing on the board, when the door opened and someone stepped
inside. I was too busy going over what I wrote so I didn’t bother
to look up to see who’d entered the classroom. I automatically
assumed it was probably a student running late. However, the sound of
loud gasps rushing through the otherwise silent room caused me to
look up to see what the commotion was all about.
That
was the first time I saw him. My gaze automatically drifted toward
the silver-colored orbs he had for eyes. Never in my life had I seen
eyes like those. It wasn’t just the color of them that was strange
and incredibly alluring but the way he looked around the room also,
as if searching for prey. Where that thought came from I had no idea,
but I did agree that the description match him to a T.
The
instructor spoke softly to him, but the boy only nodded several
times, not even bothering to look at him. I thought that rude until I
noticed he was too busy looking at…me.
My
cheeks started to burn as he kept staring at me with those
dangerously sensual eyes. No one had ever observed me that way before
and it made me slightly uneasy. His quiet stare made me feel hot and
uncomfortable all at once. After a silent staring contest, I turned
my eyes away from him and decided to stare at the notes in front of
me instead.
His
eyes were intense, too much for me to handle without feeling as if I
was going to be burned alive right on the spot. Good grief, no one
ever had this mammoth effect on me before.
He
was so different from the young men from around here. His demeanor
held a hint of arrogance, boldness, and indifference unlike anything
I’d perceived. Sure, some guys tended to act that way, but he took
it up a notch. I took note of his dress code too: all-black casual
wear—black hoodie, black shirt, black pants, black boots. Even his
backpack was black. I could have easily accused him of being some
kind of rock and roll groupie or maybe even a Goth-loving fan, but he
didn’t appear to fit into either category.
However,
the dark clothing only made his look more mysterious and it
definitely brought out the color of his eyes even more. He was tall,
too, very tall. If I had to guess what his height was, I would say
six-foot-one or something close to that. His chestnut-colored hair
was long, down to his shoulders, and he wore it lose. Something about
him clearly screamed bad boy.

Sounds good doesn't? well he is! although he needs to come with a warning..Kyran is a ball of mixed emotions but Marjorie can't seem to start away or want to. she find herself drawn into him for some reason. Secrets of the Moon is told in the POV of Marjorie. Marjorie is a human, who may or may not be extremely special in some way. The problem is in her blood..not quite sure what she is or if she is even really human but creature of the night are drawn to her and stalker her because they want her..
We go through the story as Marjorie puts piece to her mystery puzzle she is trying to solve about the animal killings and human disappearance. After she piece most of it together she finds out more than she is barging for..she finds Kyran isn't human and could possible kill her if he wanted to.

Well, all in all I loved it! I'm kind of bummed that there isn't any information posted about a possible second book. Don't get me wrong I did love this read there was just some unanswered questions I have and I'm dying to know when they will be answered..hopefully we will be able to get them soon in the next possible book. :) Kristy is a wonderful writer and this is one of my favorites written by her. It's a must read ( even if you get unanswered questions its still worth it :P )
