Book One of the Dark Inheritance Series, Moonlight Secrets, is an engaging and ambitious book by the author Laura Lukasavage. It follows Amberly, a young witch with the unique skill of being able to communicate with wolves, and her story to uncover her family’s dark past and secrets. It has all the hallmarks of a YA novel: magic, a plot that grows in complexity, and characters who interact well with one another and grow on the reader as the book progresses.
I liked how Amberly respected and relied upon her friends, Logan and Troy, and the other characters who are introduced really drive the dynamic. We get to know them, but with internal dialogue and the author’s portrayal of emotions and reactions, we really get to understand what makes her tick. I really liked her as a protagonist.
The story moves along swiftly and there is danger and threats to Amberly’s world and relationships as the plot progresses. She realises just how much she has at stake when she is faced with choices she must make.
