The story is well written and pleasantly complex enough that it doesn't feel like a YA Novel. The author exhibits a crisp, enjoyable wiring style that is refreshing. Her characterizations are wonderfully done and you feel as if you have fallen into the tale. Her choices for each character are lovely, as there is a bit of banter between main and secondary characters. Great suspense and a lovely thriller from beginning to end.

I would like to thank the author/publisher/Netgalley for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for a fair and honest review.

When I requested this book I didn't realise it was the third instalment of a series of books but I thought, what the hell, give it a read and see if it can be understood as a stand alone.

The book tells the story of the Way sisters who have strengths and they are the gamekeepers of Havoc Wood. They have been left shaken by an earlier Halloween incident and they are now insecure and sacred but they have to pull it all together to fight off a new foe with ancient magic.

The book is well written and interesting, you get drawn into the story and held captive with the suspense but I was confused to who and what everybody actually was which is why I defintely think you have to read the two earlier instalments first.

Which is exactly what I'm going to do and then read this book over again!

If you have read and liked the first two books you are sure to enjoy this one and if you haven't read them they are called Crooked Daylight and Slow Poison.

Thank you to Netgalley and Agora Books for the ARC

ahh I hate that this is the third book in a series! I now understand why I felt a little out of place while reading this, but none the less it was excellent.

The author did a fantastic job building a world for us readers to immerse our selves in, I loved every moment in the booked and was hooked since page one! Can’t wait to read books one and two now

When I find a series I love, I am always a bit conflicted when a new book is released. Part of me wants to lock myself away and devour it, but part of me is also a bit nervous – I mean, what if it doesn’t live up to expectations because I have built it up so much in my mind? This is exactly how I felt about Borrowed Moonlight – especially as I had been waiting almost a year to get my hands on it! Luckily, this is a good news review and I absolutely loved it!

Borrowed Moonlight picks up not long after the events of Slow Poison, and the aftershocks from Apple Day are still rippling through the community and unsettling the Way sisters. Seeing how they were each affected made the sisters seem all the more real to me – often in books it feels like whatever went on in one book is done and dusted and forgotten about by the following book, but life isn’t like that. Recovery from traumatic events takes time, and showing how each sister dealt with what had happened in their own way made me feel even more invested in them than I already was.

I had always written Vanessa Way off as a supporting character of little substance, but in this book, she really comes into her own and I loved finding out more about her, and uncovering some of the secrets of the girls history, and the strange Far North.

The Way sisters are once again faced with malevolent forces, one in the form of very old magic, and the other that appears all too human, although I strongly suspect there is more to be discovered about this particular person. The book oozes with tension, and I found I was on edge throughout. This series just seems to get better with every book.

Please write fast Helen! I need more of this series!

I received a digital advanced reader copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This was a truly unique story. I really enjoyed it a lot. It was one of those stories that just grabs you and pulls you in. I enjoyed the writing style, the pacing, and the character development a lot.

I do feel like the book itself could have been longer. I really wasn't ready for it to be over.

Thank you for the opportunity to review this title.

I would especially like to thank Agora Books and the Netgalley website for allowing me to read this book. It's a pity that once I've read it, I realize that it's a third volume.

The story takes place at Havoc Woods on Halloween which is toxic that year and it ravages the woods and the Way sisters are upset. They thought they had acquired a lot of powers but now they are no longer sure they were made to be the guardians of the game. Being scared they are no longer sure they can handle the old magic that is Woodcastle. They will be dealing with an ancient and very electric enemy and he is always one step ahead in what he does. As for the Ways sisters, they will have to join forces or lose everything.

A book read in one go, so much so that I hooked into the story which is so captivating, addictive, gripping, full of suspense and twists and turns with very endearing characters. Can't wait to read the complete series.
