Moonless Night: Special Edition
Something got stuck in her throat. It felt like her heart was being pressed so hard she could not breathe. In a split second, the voice she just heard so deep, velvety, and beautiful was so familiar. It was the voice she had been longing to hear for the past ten years. Her breathing might have stopped, but her heart said, “It is him!” The minute seemed like an eternity….
Alana is an ordinary teenage girl with numerous insecurities and anxieties, some typical of a girl her age and some not. Self-conscious about her appearance, having one eye that is amber-coloured and one eye violet, she has trouble socializing with her peers. To make matters more difficult, she experiences dreams and visions of a strange man who figures largely in her life, but whose face is hidden from her view.
When Alana moves with her widowed mother back to her childhood home of Taraka, a beautiful town off the New Zealand coast, her life takes on a new and different meaning when she finally meets the mysterious stranger of her dreams.
Christian is flawlessly handsome, extremely talented, and very wealthy with devastating secrets regarding himself and his family. Although the two have immediate feelings for each other, Christian is resistant to pursuing a relationship with Alana, much to her disappointment. When he opens up to her a little, she discovers a magical world of enchanted sea creatures, fairies, and other otherworldly beings. She longs to enter Christian’s world, but there is a heavy price to pay if she does, and he is extremely reluctant to bring her into it completely.
Alana discovers that not all of the supernatural beings are nonthreatening; malevolent forces intend to do Christian harm, causing his unwilling absence in Alana’s life. However, will his reappearance place Alana’s life in jeopardy, or will their love be able to survive the dangers in Moonless Night?

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I read it from back to front in no time, a real page turner.
I really related to the angst of the main female character along with her excitement and trepidation of the new found romance. I was completely swept along on the journey with her and immediately started the sequel when I finished reading this book.
There were grammatical errors in the first edition of this book which did make it harder to read however, the author changed publishers and released this special edition which I find flows much better.
If you like is genre, you will love this!!!

*This Book Was Given To Me By The Author In Exchange For An Honest Review*
I really wanted to like this book a lot but sadly it just fell short for me.
The story is very reminiscent of several other YA books out there and unfortunately it doesn't bring in enough new elements to make it stand out from the crowd.
The biggest problem for me was the need for editing. There are many grammatical mistakes that pull you out of the story which is a shame especially when the book is in actual print thus making them harder to fix.
The characters themselves just needed a little extra something to make them come alive for me especially when it came to the interactions. It just didn't sweep me away and take me out of reality in a way that I think the author would have liked.
I wish Floriminda the best of luck with her future endeavors but sadly feel that her style of writing is just not for me.
