The Harper witches have grown apart in the ten years since they defeated Toxanna and Will Brown. Each of them are on their own missions in the magical and the non-magical worlds. However, one by one, the witches are warned of a powerful force that has been unleashed that may also be linked to the death of Chris and Holly's baby daughter. As they fight for answers to this new threat on their own, they soon discover that they have no other options but to ask for help. Unfortunately, family isn't always the first choice for sanctuary.

The Crescent Moon (Under the Moon #4) by David Neth is a short story in the moon series. It follows the witch kids now that they are grown up and believe their troubles have all died off...they were wrong. Great story but wish it was longer, hope this means there is more to come as they are now adults!

Man, do you ever just want to kick yourself for missing something important about a book before you read (or listen to) it? For me, it's the fact that this is a FOURTH in a series of serials! Argh, how annoying; how did I miss that when I entered the giveaway to win a copy? It really doesn't stand alone. The writing seemed fine and, as far as I could tell from listening to two hours of the middle of a story, the plot seems fine too. The narration of this Audible audiobook felt a bit rushed and unnatural in the beginning, but it did slow down and smooth out.

The witches are getting better. I do get a little confused but I think that is because I listen to the audio at night. I'm almost sorry there is only one more book left. I got this book from the author and this has been my honest and voluntary review.

Cresent Moon was the perfect mix of back stories, tie in from Under the Moon bundle, and a glimpse of what is left to come. It continued where Under the Moon left off and told us so much more of who Chris and Holly are. This book leaves you wanting to read the next in the series immediately.
The narration is again perfect for this series. Nathan Weiland has a way of keeping your attention throughout the story. His voice is calm and easy to listen to. He reads with such enthusiasm that you get lost in the book.

If you read the author, you will know his way of writing these characters,
with more human in them than supernatural.
Their magic they keep it to themselves, saving the energy necessary to a next encounter.
These are short stories that started long time ago, which end with a meeting of chaos.
I enjoyed listening to this audio book gift by the author
as I've enjoyed the previous stories.
Wonder what will happen...

I loved getting to catch up with the Harper's when everyone is older. I'm a bit sad because it wasn't as long as the others, but I can't wait to hear what happens next. I love the entire using magic in the modern world and how it all just seems so right and everyday.

This was a good book but I didn't like that they split from each other because of the death of Chris and Holly's daughter. Didn't like that Chris was the one that killed their daughter. I hope that in the last book in the series that the family get's back together.

This was my first introduction to the series and the author. I'm now his newest fan! I love the plot, the characters and the pacing. I'm off to start reading the series from the beginning.

This review is for both the book and audiobook as I have the individual episodes that make up this book. I want to start out by saying the authors annoys the crap out of me lol. All of his characters are so annoying except for Josh. But I still keep coming back for more because the stories are so good. If you are new to this series, don't take that wrong. I mean annoying as instead of being like most magical paranormal reads, these characters are written on a more serious note. They come with all the baggage and flaws a real live person and they started having to deal with stuff at a very young age. Holly is so selfish, but she has been through so much. I can't wait to see what happens with her. There's something I want to express about her but I would spoil it for you. Chris is just devastated and can't live with himself after the death of his daughter. Did he really cause it? We see the man Josh has grown into. He is now a successful doctor who also, at times, uses his magic to heal patients. That was my favorite part. And omg, I'm dying to tell you about when Kathy did a spell to remove a spirit from a person. You will never guess what she saw! I was so excited. This is getting really interesting. I can't wait for the next book. I want it now! The narrator is really great! I love the quality of his performance. He fits this series perfect. I'm going to see if he has other works he has done because he sounds like he is really experienced.

I'm not generally one to growl at what I can only assume is a cliffhanger ending in this story. "Chaos is coming" says it all very specifically to the characters who make up this series for good and ill. I think I'll need to go back to the beginning and read the series through. Family divided is never a good thing, but even more so if you've been a powerfully magic one that has lost their way. Can the Harper's turn this around before more tragedy hits? I voluntarily read this story, and I just couldn't put it down.

Omgoddess! This is considered cruel and unusual punishment!
My introduction to the series and the author was mind blowing!
Although it is a continuation of the series, enough information is given to drive the story and characters forward without boggling down anyone who has previous knowledge of past events.
However, I am bewitched to pick up all of the books (or audiobooks!) and get to know them better!
I think Mr Neth is Q in disguise!

I received this audio book in exchange for an honest review.
I gave this audio book a 5 because I'm really excited about the characters and where they have come from in Under the Moon Series, and am excited to see where this goes with the thought of a threat from "The Chaos". Keeping up with these characters is really nice and the ability to visualize the story is pretty cool. The Narrator does a wonderful job in giving each character their own voice, and it's nice to hear him give a little more umph when reading this story.

Crescent Moon begins a new chapter in the Harper Witches. Fast forward 10 years, Chris, Joshua, Holly, and Kathy have gone their separate way. Chris and Holly are married and divorced when their daughter died. Joshua is a doctor and Kathy is an author.
An evil force by the name of Chaos is coming for them all. After defeating Toxanna and Will, the Harper witches have became lax in their magic. With so much baggage of their normal life, the Harper witches now have to refresh themselves with their powers as an enemy from their past, paid them a visit.
It is nice to find out what have happen to Chris, Joshua, Holly, and Kathy. They have a very content and normal life. It is also a very much needed follow-up on how The Blood Moon ended when Holly gave a prophecy that another evil threat is coming.
As with some part of the story, I can see how Holly and Chris have divorced each other after their daughter's death. What I can't agree with is that Holly just left Chris without yelling at him when she found out that their daughter didn't make it. It is not a normal behavior for a mother to react. With this incident, the Harper witches stopped reaching out to each other.
The story is short compared to the other books in the series. Readers/Listeners will want to find out what and who is Chaos and what threat will the Harper witches faces and if they are ready to face Chaos when it arrives.
The narrator Nathan Weiland is back to continue narrating Under the Moon series. He is the familiar voices that the listeners have continued their journey in knowing the Harper witches.
I received this audiobook from the author and have volunteered to review the book. I was not compensated or influenced in any way for reviewing this book.

The time has progressed since we last encountered the Howard and Bowen families. This book explains what has happened in that time between and re introduces us to a person all thought was dead.
This seems to end abruptly, as if there is is more to know, but as yet hasn't been revealed. I suppose the next book may give us more insight.
I have listened to the audio rendition of the four books in this series and have enjoyed them immensely.

I received the audiobook free in exchange for an honest review. This was an interesting story to listen to about a family of witches and troubles that are heading their way. The narration was fine This is definitely not a standalone book, the reader could really benefit from having read/listened to the previous three books in the series to understand more of what this family was facing or was being threatened by. However, I did enjoy it just on its own.

The Crescent Moon is an action packed story of witches, magic, soothsayers, and more! As this is the fourth book in the series, I have some catching up to do. The Harpers were torn apart by a tragic fire. Now Chris is on the run while the rest of his family receives strange messages about imminent danger. This was absolutely fantastic. From the writing to the narration, I was enthralled. I needed to know what happened next. Each character with distinct voices to match the personality was amazing!
