Whispers at Moonrise (A Shadow Falls Novel, 4) Paperback – October 2, 2012

C.C Hunter has once again delivered a fantastic installment in the Shadow Falls series, Whispers at Moonlight, this series just keeps getting better and better!For those of you who haven't read the previous books in this series and you love books about the supernatural, complete with all different types of supernatural species, great character detail, great plots full of action and mystery and of course great romance, then this series is for you. I promise this series will not disappoint you - so get to it!This book is definitely my favorite installment to the series so far, I was completely absorbed in the plot, which involved Kylie's further self-development. The reader finally discovers what species she actually belongs too and has a lot of questions answered, which naturally results in more questions left pending. And it doesn't end there, the readers gains so much insight; into her love life drama between two boys, her family drama with her parents, school starting with intriguing new teachers and new freshman students on the prowl for future mates and her latest ghost visitor who has warned her someone very close to her is in danger and is fighting against the clock to figure out the next mystery before it is too late.What I love about this series is the range of characters and how they are constantly evolving throughout the series. Each character is brilliantly written and very likeable in their own individual ways but I would like to make a special mention about my two favorite characters, who would have to be from the vampire corner, Burnett and Della. Both of these characters show such a hard, cold, complex, stand off-ish exterior but slowly remove their layers to show they are warm, loyal, trustworthy, pure hearted, with a firm grasp on the true value of friendship and love. I really admire the author's ability to create such multifaceted characters that help to tell a great story.Now, this love triangle between Kylie, Lucas and Derek - I have to say I am team Derek all the way!So far, all I have witnessed in this relationship between Kylie and Lucas is a great physical attraction which may simply be lust for each other, even though they say the love each other, how can they? I know they have a past going back to when they were kids but at the moment Kylie needs him the most to help and support her with her new self-discovery and ghost issues, he is never around. Lucas has his own issues and goals that he is trying to deal with and conquer, none of which he can be open and honest about with Kylie. The whole time he is expecting Kylie's trust and understanding only to show his true colours through the way he treats Kylie at the end of this book. This tells me he is a huge JACKASS! No matter what his reasons are or what he is trying to achieve, no girlfriend should have to supportive of those kinds of actions!In complete opposition to Lucas is Derek - sweet, sweet Derek, who has told Kylie directly he is in love with her, who is supportive and understanding of her new self discovery and ghost issues. He is her rock and a great friend and in my opinion he understands who Kylie is and what she will become. I only wish there was more focus on his character in this book, hopefully the next installment will have a happy ending for Derek - please, please, please; fingers crossed!!I love the way this book ended. It was so unexpected and brilliantly written that I am now desperate to read the next and final installment to this series. I am intrigued to finally see how this story ends for Kylie and the related characters. So my copy of "Chosen at Nightfall" has now been pre-ordered and the count down is on, bring on April 23rd!!

*Review contains some spoilers*This book was amazing, fabulous, fantabulous, all of the above! I loved every second of it. I had my predictions for what Ms. Hunter was going to have in store for us, but I was completely blown away with the twists that were thrown my way. The book picks up right where we left off...Kylie reeling from seeing Holiday's ghost (or so she thinks ;) ). I know that there is one last book in this series (yay!), but for most of the book, it read like an ender to the series. However, the ending was a pseudo-cliffhanger, so I definitely have an idea of where the next and final book is going.Kylie was funny as ever in this book. She got some more sass and spark, and I liked it. She is still torn between her love for Lucas, and her feelings for Derek. Now, in every book I was all for her being with Lucas, but let me say Lucas really got on my nerves in this book, and I honestly wanted to slap him by the end. I can say that I want her to be with Derek now because at least he admitted what he did to Kylie. Lucas was forced to admit what he did because Kylie caught him. Ugh! Lucas...you are in big trouble mister, and you had better do something amazing in the next book to get me back on your side! I loved both Della and Miranda in this book. You got to see a more vulnerable side to Della, which I appreciated. Holiday and Burnett...you guys are seriously my new favorite couple. They are absolutely adorable together, and I was so unbelievably happy for the two of them by the end.The plot to this novel was fascinating and very fast paced. There was always some kind of action in this book, which I think is one of the reasons it felt like the end of the series. However, I was a little annoyed with Kylie because it was very obvious from almost the very beginning what exactly a chameleon was. Yet, she struggled to figure it out until almost the end of the book. Another thing I didn't like was her grandfather. He seemed to pressure and basically guilt her into coming to live with them. I know that what Lucas did pushed her over the edge, but still. There was just something that I didn't like about him, and I have some theories about him for the next book. While I did figure out who the killer was, the novel was a fun, interesting read.I'm definitely looking forward to the next book. I just wish I didn't have to wait until next year :( I highly recommend this series for anyone who is looking for something different. You won't be disappointed.

I really enjoyed reading all 5 books. The storyline was great and the characters were believable. I could not put these books down. I read them all in about two months. I would recommend them for anyone that loves romance with a little adventure.

Leitura fácil, entusiástica e interessante. Embora o tema seja comum, o enredo transformou-o em algo novo, divertido e curioso. Parabéns

Achtung, enthält Spoiler für Band 1-3 der Shadow Falls-Reihe!!Weiterlesen auf eigene Gefahr!Auch wenn Kylie endlich von ihrem Vater erfahren hat, was genau sie ist, reißen die Probleme nicht ab: Ein Geist mit Holidays Gesicht warnt sie vor einem Serienmörder und Lucas, der um einen Sitz im Rat der Werwölfe kämpft, muss sich von ihr fernhalten, um sein Rudel nicht gegen sich aufzubringen. Zusätzlich droht das Treffen mit ihrem Großvater zu platzen. Dabei ist er der Einzige, der ihr erklären kann, was es heißt, ein Chamäleon zu sein und ihre Fragen beantworten kann. Und Antworten sind dringend nötig! Denn Kylies Fähigkeiten spielen verrückt und machen nicht nur die FRU neugierig..."Whispers at moonrise" (dt. "Verfolgt im Mondlicht") ist der vierte und vorletzte Band rund um Kylie Galen und das Shadow Falls Camp und schließt nahtlos dort an, wo Teil 3 aufgehört hat. Und es wird sofort spannend: Nachdem Kylie von ihrem leiblichen Vater endlich erfahren hat, welcher übernatürlichen Rasse sie angehört und bevor sie diese Neuigkeit verdaut hat, wird sie von einem Geist überrascht, der ein ihr nur allzu bekanntes Gesicht trägt: das der Campleiterin Holiday! Was hat das zu bedeuten? Wird Holiday sterben?Kylies vorletztes Abenteuer ist so spannend wie nie und diesmal scheinen ihr die Probleme echt über den Kopf zu wachsen. Nicht nur der Geist mit Holidays Gesicht gibt ihr Rätsel auf, sondern auch ihre Gefühle für Lucas. Denn während Kylie sich endlich eingesteht, dass ihr Herz für ihn schlägt, geht Lucas gezwungenermaßen auf Distanz. Um die alten Regeln zu ändern, will er in den Rat der Werwölfe aufgenommen werden und muss dafür nach der Pfeife seines Vaters tanzen. Und auch wenn Kylie seine Motive nachvollziehen kann, fällt es ihr nicht leicht das zu akzeptieren, besonders da Derek, der ihr seine Liebe gestanden hat, immer für sie da ist und den Kampf um Kylies Herz noch nicht aufgegeben hat.Kylies größtes Problem hängt diesmal allerdings mit ihr selbst zusammen: Sie ist ein Chamäleon. Doch was genau das heißt, weiß sie immer noch nicht. Antworten erhofft sie sich von Daniels Vater, ihrem Großvater. Doch der will Kylie nicht im Shadow Falls Camp treffen, denn immerhin steht es unter der Beobachtung der FRU - die Organisation, die seine Frau getötet hat.Auch im vierten Band hat es mir wieder unheimlich gefallen, an Kylies Seite die Geschehnisse und das Gefühlschaos im Camp zu verfolgen. Wie gewohnt bietet uns C.C. Hunter eine Mischung aus Romantik, Fantasy und Humor. Besonders gefreut hat mich, dass meinem heimlichen Lieblingspaar Holiday und Burnett in diesem Teil viel Aufmerksamkeit geschenkt wird. Wir erfahren mehr über Holidays Vergangenheit und es war einfach herrlich zu sehen, wie der sonst so beherrschte und coole Burnett von Eifersucht gequält wird :-)Wem das ewige Hin und Her zwischen Lucas und Derek im dritten Teil etwas zu viel geworden ist, der kann sich freuen, denn Kylie ist sich ihrer Gefühle hier wesentlich sicherer. Und auch handlungstechnisch hat dieser Teil einiges zu bieten und konnte mich wirklich an die Seiten fesseln.Aber Achtung an alle, die keine Cliffhanger mögen! Band 4 endet sehr dramatisch und wirft einige Fragen über Kylies Zukunft im Shadow Falls Camp auf. Fragen, die sicherlich alle Leser ungeduldig auf den abschließenden Teil 5 warten werden lassen. Ich jedenfalls bin froh, dass ich hier zur bereits erschienenen englischen Version greifen kann :-)

Even at a camp for supernaturals teens, Kylie Galen has never been normal. Not only can she see ghosts but she doesn't seem to belong to any one species - she exhibits traits from the all. As Kylie struggles to unlock the secrets of her identity, she begins to worry that Lucas will never be able to accept her for what she is, and what she isn't... a werewolf. With his pack standing in their way, Kylie finds herself turning more and more towards Derek, the only person in her life who's willing to accept the impossible. As if life isn't hard enough, she starts getting visits from the ghost of Holiday, her closest confidante. Trouble is, Holiday isn't dead... not yet anyway. Now Kylie must race to save one of her own from an unseen danger before it's too late - all while trying to stop her relationship with Lucas from slipping away forever. In a world of constant confusion, there's only one thing Kylie knows foe sure: Change is inevitable and all the things must come to an end... maybe even her time at Shadow Falls.OMFG!!! I'm crying like a freaking baby right now!!! Why did it have to end this way?! WHY!!!!!?You know that feeling when you read a book, get completely lost in the story, and before you know it you finished it and you just want more and more and more? You know that if you won't know what happens next soon, you will explode? Well that's how i felt. This series seriously NEVER disappoints me! :) I have waited SO LONG FOR THIS HEAVEN!!!I have no idea how the author does it, how does she do it? Every single book in the Shadow Falls novel is so amazingly fabulous!!! Every time it takes me on a timeless emotional ride that i just don't want to end!!! Can i just say, i am so freaking glad and happy that i could come back to Shadow Falls and loose my self in the plot and story once again. I have waited for freaking AGES to get my hands on Whispers at Moonrise, 6 months. Why can't the author have some mercy? Doesn't she see that waiting so long for the next book is pure TORTURE!!!?The characters were like use-all, so amazing and realistic. I LOVE THEM ALL! Seriously, they are such fantastic characters that it feels like they are real and i know them.Kylie ( main character) is such a nice and cool girl, what she is is so awesome!!!Derek ( half fae, used to be with Kiley and is in love with her) is so caring and understanding! I LOVE that guy myself. I wish they could be together - sight.Lucas ( werewolf, Kylies boyfriend) is pure hotness, but what he did at the end to Kylie was just horrible. Kylie felt so betrayed, and so did i ( not that i liked the dude anyway). I just knew he was going to hurt her sooner or later, i was like screaming for Kylie to push him off a cliff already or something and get back to that beautiful fae that loves her ( truly loves her).I loved how Kylie tried to help everyone, even thought she had more problems than hair on her head herself.I love the cover, in fact i love all the covers. I love the titles of the books as well. Let's face it, i love everything about this series. IT'S SIMPLY THE BEST.k, let's talk about the ending before i'll explode. I was SHOCKED. And when i say i was shocked, i mean i can't breath, eyes winded like a big moon kind of shocked. I'm still so emotional over what happened with Lucas and Kylie. I think i was even more shocked than her. I literally jumped out of my seat, i had to read standing up. The very ending was the part where i really cried, i was going through what Kylie was going through. It was like i wasn't in my bedroom anymore, i was right there beside Kylie, feeling what she felt. I did what she didn't, couldn't, i cried, and i think i cried not only for her but for her friends and everyone else at Shadow Falls. The ending left me breathless, literally.Then, i almost cried again because i realized that the same torture awaits me, waiting 6 moths for the next masterpiece whilst imagining and trying to constantly figure out what would happen next. I seriously hope i will be able to sleep at night.Overall, Whispers at Moonrise is an excellent, well written and full of surprises book that will have you on edge and holding on for the glorious ride, which you won't want to end. I WANT MORE.Favorite Quotes -'" What happened?" Della asked,Kylie pulled her eyes away from the woods " Nothing."Della titled her head to the side, as if listening to Kylie's heart, listening for signs of deception. Della rolled her eyes " Liar. Liar. Pants on fire."Kylie groaned " Fine. I'm lying. And if i were wearing pants, they'd combust and burn my ass."''" I'm not here to spill blood," he insisted." then leave," Kylie demanded." Yeah, tuck your tail between you legs and run," Della bit out.'" I should let you go," he said. " I should put a stop to this... to us. Because until things change, everyone will be against us. And yet..." His head dipped down ever so slightly and his lips met hers.So much emotion came with that brief kiss.''" Stop it," She said. " I care about you as a friend."" No." He continued to stare. " It's more. But don't worry. I know you care about Lucas, too. And that's my cross to bear because i pushed you right into his arms. And as long as you're happy, I can accept that But if you're not-"" Please stop." Kylie wanted to start singing " la la la" and cover her ears.'" You were... my first kiss," He said.' A SERIOUSNESS FILLED HIS EYES. "I'D GO TO HELL TO KEEP YOU SAFE, KYLIE GALEN."'" A SUSPECT HELPING WITH THE INVESTIGATION, THAT MAKES ABOUT AS MUCH SENSE AS FRIED ICE-CREAM."'

Super great
