Moonstruck #3
Awestruck at Dusk
In the aftermath of an unthinkable tragedy, Billie Murphy is forced to come to grips with her grief, her mysterious past, and her conflicted feelings for the two men in her life, in Awestruck at Dusk, the third book in the Moonstruck series.
Just as the pieces of Billie’s life seem to be falling into place, including her relationship with her seriously perfect boyfriend Nathan, a shocking loss shatters Billie’s world. Shaken, devastated, and despite herself, Billie can’t help but still feel drawn to her neighbor, and it-boy celebrity actor, William. Even with their friendship on shaky ground, their chemistry is undeniable. Torn over her feelings for Nathan, and haunted by jealousy toward a gorgeous new girl on the scene, the mounting turmoil comes to the surface in Billie’s terrifying nightmares.
With tension building all Summer long, Billie is forced to make tough decisions and take her life in to her own hands for the first time. Can she grab hold of the freedom and happiness she’s longed for, or will she play it safe and follow the path that’s been chosen for her?

5/5 SI QUE SI
Mi favorito de la saga hasta el momento, aunque creo que ninguno supera el final del segundo libro.
Me ha encantado seguir la historia de Billie y haber sufrido con ella, haberme sentido tan confundida así como lo hizo y básicamente haber crecido con ella
No le quitaría absolutamente nada. Eso sí, me ha dolido muchísimo lo que sucedió con un personaje en específico en este libro y me siento destrozada por ello, solo quiero desearle lo mejor. Ay, que llorona que soy, tan solo de pensar en eso ya se me está saliendo una lagrima.
Alejandra Andrade, si estás leyendo esto, quiero que sepas que amo lo que escribiste porque lograste tocar mi corazón, enamorarme y luego apretujarlo, pero que volviste a hacerme sentir que todo es posible "but what is love without trust?", volviste a enamorame y darme un final precioso. Necesito seguir con la saga. Es increíble como no han pasado ni 24 horas desde que lo terminé y extraño demasiado a los personajes.

Ahhhhhhh lo mucho que me gustó ese final!!!!!💙💙💙💙
No voy a mentir, el inicio del libro me tuvo sufriendo muchísimo por todo lo que había relacionado al libro 2. Luego, en el medio de la historia me desenganché bastante, pero de la mitad al final me tuvo sin soltarlo!!!!!
Billie está creciendo mucho y se nota que le tocó aprender a las malas🥺 pero está consiguiendo crecer y eso es genial!
Solo diré que ESA carta me destruyó y aún así la amé infinitamente

I’ll never get over this series. THE WRITING! THE LOVE! THE DRAMA! THE GROWTH!!!!! And hello WILLIAM. I am just so head over in heels in love with These characters. I felt every little thing Billie felt. And tho I missed my favorite, William was everything.
‘William was like the sun. It shows up every single day, but it’s unpredictable and unique every single time. Never boring. Like a perfect sunset that you can’t stop looking at with awe, even if you’ve seen it a thousand times — right until your sucked in by the first shades of dusk. And as I stand there, aching for morning, yearning for the sun to rise again at dawn, the moon shines above, and it too reminds me of him. Every single time. My sun and my moon’

I was extremely fortunate to receive an advance copy of AWESTRUCK AT DUSK for an honest review. Having read both books leading up to this one - MOONSTRUCK AT MIDNIGHT and HEARTSTRUCK AT DAWN - I have to say this one is probably my favorite so far. Don't get me wrong--the first two books are fabulous, but I feel like this one really took the whole in-book universe to new heights for me as a reader. Billie's growth from the first book to this one is remarkable, and it's thrilling to get a front-row seat to her mind and her heart as her journey continues to intensify and become more complex. We even get to know some of the characters who were previously only in the background of the first couple books - Cecile, Tobias, Aaron, etc - on a deeper level, while meeting wonderful and engaging new characters too along the way (looking at you, Liam!). All in all, I highly recommend this book and this series as a whole. It's a world you won't want to leave after you're done reading!

AMÉ ESTE LIBRO!! definitivamente, este es mi favorito de toda la saga. Todavía no puedo creer cómo terminó, sigo en shock jsjsjajsb pero la verdad que la forma de escribir de la autora es muy buena y me identifiqué mucho con Guille (Billie) y siento que ella maduró mucho en todos estos libros. Así que, sí, recomiendo esta saga con todo mi corazón y espero que la autora nunca deje de escribir porque está haciendo un trabajo estupendo con su escritura.
Claramente le doy ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ :)

When Billie thinks she's finally getting her life on track she gets hit by a tragic loss. The grief is almost unbearable, and to top it off the security around her tightens even more, making her feel suffocated. Her boyfriend Nathan tries to be there for her, but he works a lot and often has to travel. Billie loves him and knows that he loves her too, but she still can't stop thinking about her neighbor William. He's made his intentions clear, but does Billie have the courage to choose him, or will she pick Nathan, the safe choice?
I have to admit that I still have some issues with Billie. Sure, she's young (she turns 21 in this book) and has mostly lived a sheltered life, but I don't really understand her. She doesn't know what she wants, she says one thing but emotionally she wants something else. She claims to being used to turn off her feelings, yet they immidiately show on her face. A lot about Billie is contradictory. Her inner monologues and thoughts are on constant repeat, and it gets somewhat tiresome. The author is also inclined to share unnecessary and repetitive information at times, which makes me want to say "show, don't tell, please"!
Oh dear, now I sound very dismissive, but I actually like this series! I love the Sjöberg family, and I wouldn't mind hanging with some of Billie's other friends! After each book I've felt a bit empty and in need for more. I thought this was the last book in the series, but in the Author's note I learn that there will be a fourth book: Lovestruck at Sundown. AND Andrade is also writing a book on Caleb! Hopefully I won't be feeling empty all that long!

3 ⭐️ So much angst with a happy ending
"Lead from the heart. Let the feelings take over and crash against you."
After a heartbreaking tragedy, Billie must come to terms with her grief, the secrets of her past, and her feelings for the two men she's fallen in love with.
William vs. Nathan: Who will Billie choose? Well, isn't this just the most amazing dilemma to have?! You have the super sexy Swedish actor who loves deeply and shows that love with grand gestures or a super sexy British lawyer with a heart of gold who wants to marry you. In the end, I think Billie chose the right person, but damn I felt bad for the poor guy she rejected.
As always, I loved the drama between Billie and the men in her life, but what really makes this book stand apart from the others is the beautiful growth we witness in Billie.
This girl has been through so much. From the death of her mother to the rampage of her psycho ex-boyfriend, there's a lot of trauma and hurt Billie must sort through in order to move on with her life. It was difficult during the first part of the book to witness Billie grieving for her lost loved ones, but it was necessary in order for her to find some clarity. By the end, Billie is finally able to express her true feelings, stand up for herself, and ultimately, be honest with herself - allowing her to take her life into her own hands.
Overall, this was another great addition to the series. Billie finally listened to her heart and made some wonderful discoveries about herself. I'm extremely happy with how things turned out and I only wonder what's in store for her next.
Thank you so much Alejandra Andrade for providing a copy of the book in exchange for an honest review! As always, all opinions are my own.

I can not tell you the last time that I have binged a series!
Billie is reeling with the grief of the events from book 2. Trying her best to navigate her life, she decides to focus on the things she can control in her life. She dives completely into keeping herself busy with school and her relationship with Nathan. But as she gets a little bit more flexibility in her life with new friends and a photography internship. She soon starts to feel like she is still "trapped" in that sheltered life she so wishes to escape.
I definitely feel with this book, Billie is growing more into her own. She is finally beginning to realize her own desires for her life and how they may not align with the path that has been set by her father to keep her "safe". But as with a lot of us, she is afraid of change and what the future my hold if she does not choose the "safe" route.
She is torn between Nathan and William. Both who she love, but who hold different places in her heart.
I loved that Billie is an MC that does not shy away from the hard truths and challenges. That sometimes in life we have to make decisions that are "true" for ourselves and not other people. If we only dare take that chance!
So needless to say I am extremely invested into Billie and William's storyline! And I'm super excited to read Book 4, Caleb releasing in November and then Book 5, Lovestruck at Sundown when it is released!

Lead from the heart. Let the feeling take over and crash against you.
Este si que tiene las 5 estrellas. Me encantó de principio a fin y es el que más rápido leí. En este libro por fin pude ver a una Billie más decidida y estoy muy ansiosa de leerla en el próximo libro. Entendí muy bien como se sentía Billie, aunque para mi, esa confusión pudo haber sido solucionada de manera rápida, pero bueno, ¿quién soy yo para hablar cuando nunca he estado en esa situación?
William... QUE HOMBRE MÁS MARAVILLOSO. Yo creo que me estresaría demasiado en la vida real, pero es un sol. En este libro creo que no me tenía tan al borde porque fue un poco más respetuoso, pero solo ayudó a reforzar q soy Team William KFDJKSFS
Lo que me gustaría destacar, es los tremendos amigos que son Lily, Joel y Tobias. A pesar de ser un chismoso a morir, Tobias quiere incondicionalmente a Billie y me encanta que esté rodeada de gente que la apañe a todo y que se preocupen tanto por ella. Otro personaje que me sorprendió mucho en este libro es Nina, quien no me caía mal, pero tampoco me gustaba mucho, porque en este libro fue una amiga 10/10. Y no puedo olvidar a Liam que fue tremenda sorpresa, al principio no sabía como sentirme sobre él, pero al final logró ganarse mi corazón, es un payaso.
Otros personajes que se me olvidaron destacar en mis reseñas de los otros dos libros fueron Aaron y David que les juro que amé. David es un rey y me encanta que ayude a Billie en silencio sin cuestionar, a pesar de que trabaja para el papá de ella.
En fin, como no quiero dar spoilers, solo terminaré esta reseña diciendo que Caleb, Lily y Liam son mis amores para siempre.

Que montaña rusa fue este libro. Agradezco haberme preparado mentalmente para todo esto.
Aquí retomamos casi de inmediato con el final del segundo libro (el cual destruye tu corazón). Vemos a una Billie rota teniendo que enfrentar la pérdida de la persona con la que compartía un vínculo demasiado profundo.
Se nota mucho cómo la afecta esta pérdida, puesto que tiene pesadillas y está en una etapa de autodestrucción, ya que no se permite ser feliz porque considera que falta el respeto a la memoria de Caleb. Lo cual es entendible, teniendo en cuenta toda la historia que tienen ellos.
Me gustó mucho ver la evolución que tiene Billie en este libro. Siento que es una mujer muy distinta a la que vemos en Moonstruck at midnight. Si bien sigue sin saber muy bien que quiere (o sin aceptarlo, mejor dicho), siento que es más decidida con otras cosas.
Considero que esta entrega es sobre las relaciones. ¿A qué me refiero? Vemos a Billie navegar entre sus distintas relaciones, no sólo románticas. Tiene que averiguar qué hacer con lo que siente o quiere en muchos ámbitos de su vida y como esto afecta a las personas cercanas a ella.
William sigue siendo perfecto. Te amo más que nuca, amor mío. Nathan me decepcionó un poco, pero porque vemos un lado de él más cruel (en cuanto a restregarle en la cara a William muchas cosas), pero se entiende si te pones en su lugar. Aún así se me cayó del pedestal donde lo tenía.
Me encantó un nuevo personaje que se añade a la vida de Billie. Se llama Liam y siento que llegó en el momento justo a la su vida.
Algo que disfruté mucho también fue ver el proceso de duelo de Billie hacia Caleb y lo que sentía por él. Vemos la desesperación que siente al no tener a su persona (me refiero al término usado cuando hay un vínculo incomparable).
¿Lo recomiendo? Sin duda alguna.

5/5 ⭐️
• ENGLISH REVIEW•
Probably my favorite book of the Moonstruck Series that I've read so far (fighting for the spot with 2nd). The level of improvement, not only in the strength of the characters, but also in the writer's pen, is magnificent to see.
From the previous books I always rescued more the romance, but this time my favorite part was seeing Billie's growth as the pages progressed. Since the first book, she has been a character in constant learning, becoming more mature, but in Awestruck she gets that little boost she needed to launch herself into the world and face her fears.
Many of the questions of the first two books are answered in this one (yes, one of the most important milestones that has followed Billie since the beginning of the story is finally discovered). There are also several plot twists that I didn't see coming. The wonderful thing about this is that somehow you feel included in the plot twist, because you were part of an idea that never was (perhaps this part is not well understood and I WOULD LOVE TO TELL YOU MORE, BUT YOU SHOULD READ IT Seriously!)
I think that with this book you will have a hard time starting, and not because the story is slow, but because the end of the second book leaves us very susceptible to the beginning of the third, which I must admit is very hard to read. As these scenes are gradually overcome, the reading becomes faster and more addictive, without losing the nostalgia of the first two books.
And in case you were wondering: I'm still #TeamWilliam until death ✨🤪

Probablemente, mi favorito del Moonstruck Series que he leído hasta el momento (peleándose el puesto con el 2do). El nivel de mejora, no solo de la solidez de los personajes, sino que también de la pluma de la escritora, es magnífico de ver.
De los libros anteriores siempre rescataba más el romance, pero esta vez mi parte favorita fue ver el crecimiento de Billie conforme avanzaban las páginas. Desde el primer libro, ha sido un personaje en constante aprendizaje, adquiriendo mayor madurez, pero en Awestruck obtiene ese pequeño impulso que necesitaba para lanzarse al mundo y enfrentarse a sus miedos.
Muchas de las interrogantes de los dos primeros libros son respondidas en este (si, se descubre uno de los más importantes hitos que persigue a Billie desde el inicio de la historia). Además hay varios plot twist que no me veía venir. Lo maravilloso de esto último, es que de alguna forma te sientes incluida/o en el giro que da la trama, porque fuiste parte de una idea preconcebida que nunca fue (quizás esta parte no se entiende bien y AMARÍA CONTARLES MÁS, PERO DEBEN LEERLO. En serio quede así: 🤡)
Creo que con este libro te costará mucho comenzar, y no porque la historia es lenta, sino porque el final del segundo nos deja muy susceptibles al inicio del tercero, que debo admitir que es muy fuerte de leer. Conforme se supera de a poco esas escenas, la lectura se vuelve más rápida y adictiva, sin perder la nostalgia de los primeros dos libros.
Y por si se lo preguntaban: sigo siendo #TeamWilliam hasta la muerte ✨🤪

This is the third book in the series and picks up where Heartstruck at Dawn left off. In this book we follow Billie as she tries to work through her trauma and deal with feelings of grief and guilt as well as navigate life without her best friend by her side, following the dramatic events that occurred at the end of the previous book.
As with the other books in the series, I couldn’t help but binge it to find out if Billie would follow her heart to William or whether her head would win and she’d stick with safe and steady Nathan.
This is such a great series to read if you’re looking for romance, drama, sexual tension and a will they, won’t they scenario ❤️ Book 4 has been announced this week so there’s still more to come 😃

This is the best one yet. I am sooo satisfied.
December 18, 2022
si tuviera que describir este libro en tres palabras seria “remolino de emociones” realmente me hizo sentir de todo y conecte muchísimo mas con los personajes.
las primeras 100/150 páginas me costaron un poco el agarrarle el hilo a la historia pero siento que fue mas que nada por como termino el segundo y no les puedo contar como disfrute de las últimas páginas.
los personajes se ganaron totalmente mi corazón y les tengo todo el cariño del mundo, se sienten súper reales y aunque había veces que tomaban decisiones que no me parecían o que me desesperaban siento que eso ayudo a darles más desarrollo, porque la billie del 1er libro cambió muchísimo en este.
me quedo más que feliz con el final y con mil ganas de saber más de la historia. los capítulos son cortos, entretenidos y siempre que terminas uno te quedas enganchada con ganas de mas.
me encanta la ambientación de los libros, se los juro que es lo mejor y la forma de escribir de ale hace que sientas que realmente estás formando parte del libro y no solo leyéndolo.
es un libro muy fácil de leer, ligero, tiene mucho drama y vas a amar a todos los personajes entonces no se qué haces si aún no has leído esta maravillosa saga!

This book is the third book of the Moonstruck series and it is a continuation of Billie's story after the shocking ending of book two. I thought this book was entertaining and it had lots of juicy drama. The grief that Billie experiences was heartbreaking. The story dragged a little for me at some parts, with a bit too much dialogue that didn't necessarily help the plot progress. But overall, it was enjoyable and it had the ending I was hoping for.

After I read book 1 and 2, I was so invested in every character, I just knew them all too well after reading each book several times 🙈 I knew exactly what I wanted and expected of book 3, we’ll let me tell ya Alejandra knows exactly what’s she’s doing and she loves to play little games with her readers and I love that because she kept me on my toes with this one and blew mi mind, she made me hate and love a character at the same time so amazing, she introduced new characters that I reallyyyyy hope are in book 4 or better yet get their own story, she also gave beautiful closure were Billie needed the most and I loved it 😍 can’t wait for book 4

THERE ARE NO WORDS!!!
Are. You. Kidding. Me!? I. Am. Ruined! I doubt any book I ever read from now on will be able to compare to this series! I feel like I need to shout from the mountain tops that everyone should read this series! I did not want it to end and I’m devastated that it has! This series was every good adjective you can think of! I could go on and on, but stop reading reviews and just go read this series!!!

4.5! I found this book series on Instagram and decided to give a try! I really enjoyed it! So many emotions felt throughout the whole thing happy, sad, frustrating, annoyed but the author nailed the characters! Can’t wait for the 4th book to come out to tie it all out!

Billie 👩🏻🦰 tiene 20 años y vive en Paris 🇫🇷 con su papá, que es un diplomático muy importante. Está a punto de irse a vivir a NYC, donde su papá le regala un depa espectacular y la deja al cuidado de sus guardaespaldas, entre ellos Caleb 🧔🏻♂️🔥. Conoce a la familia de arriba, y sale William a escena 👱🏼♂️🔥, y empieza un triangulo entre ellos tres que nunca sabes de que team eres. Vas viendo como crece emocionalmente Billie en cada uno de los libros y la tensión entre los personajes principales está espectacular.
Me gustó la serie, me encantaron los personajes, (la pregunta aquí es ¿team Caleb o team William?) y la manera de escribir de la autora es espectacular. Los diálogos, los mensajes de texto entre los personajes me encantaron. Me gustan las series por que llegas a entender mas a los personajes y a verlos crecer y los acompañas y eso me gustó de esta serie. Si eres fan de las series 🔥 y de triángulos amorosos vas a amar esta.

What a marvelous book! I loved it so, so much ❤️
I absolutely adore William, I loved seeing how Billie grew throughout the story, and I really, really missed Caleb 😭

Awestruck at Dawn is a cute rom-com featuring the enigmatic Billie Murphy and her chaotic life.
Picking up where we left off, Billie is coming to terms with severe loss and has grown rather introspective about her current circumstances. I liked that she has matured significantly from the previous book and finally took a stance against her father's stifling ways.
Awestruck at Dawn heats up as Billie finds herself locked in a love triangle between William, the man she can't seem to let go of and who took a bullet for her, and Nathan, the man who has been her rock and solace and her very present fiance- Hello DRAMA.
As if this wasn't enough, there's Nathan's sister aka the new chick on the block, who has firmly planted herself between William and Billie and is slowly causing a rift between them. Williams continues to be an enigma right up until the very end and I adored that he made readers love to hate him.
One thing I will say for the author, Alejandra knows how to leave readers utterly speechless with her jaw-dropping revelations, and Awesome at Dawn was a splendid example of this. I was absolutely floored by the truth that was teased but never fully explored since book one.
My only qualm with Awestruck at Dawn was the tidy ending but based on the epic cliffhanger of the previous book it was simply hard to top.
Thank you to Reedsy Discovery and the author for providing me with an arc in exchange for an honest review.

“𝓑𝓪𝓫𝔂, 𝓘’𝓶 𝔂𝓸𝓾𝓻𝓼”
I’m going to keep this review short because if I say too much it will give away major spoilers from book 2 and how this series ends.
Awestruck At Dusk is book 3 in the Moonstruck series and I loved it. It’s filled with laughs, love, and D R A M A. I loved Billie’s growth, I loved her courage to finally go after what she wanted, and I loved all the answers we got. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, and you’ll be rooting for Billie from start to finish!
“𝓦𝓱𝓪𝓽’𝓼 𝓽𝓱𝓮 𝓷𝓪𝓶𝓮 𝓸𝓯 𝓽𝓱𝓪𝓽 𝓼𝓸𝓷𝓰?”
“𝓘 𝓭𝓸𝓷’𝓽 𝓴𝓷𝓸𝔀 𝔂𝓸𝓾 𝓽𝓮𝓵𝓵 𝓶𝓮”
“𝓦𝓱𝓪𝓽 𝓭𝓸 𝔂𝓸𝓾 𝓶𝓮𝓪𝓷?”
“𝓘 𝔀𝓻𝓸𝓽𝓮 𝓲𝓽 𝓯𝓸𝓻 𝔂𝓸𝓾. 𝓘 𝓷𝓪𝓶𝓮𝓭 𝓲𝓽 𝓤𝓼. 𝓑𝓾𝓽 𝓲𝓽’𝓼 𝔂𝓸𝓾𝓻 𝓼𝓸𝓷𝓰 𝔂𝓸𝓾 𝓬𝓪𝓷 𝓬𝓱𝓪𝓷𝓰𝓮 𝓽𝓱𝓮 𝓷𝓪𝓶𝓮 𝓲𝓯 𝔂𝓸𝓾 𝔀𝓪𝓷𝓽 𝓽𝓸”
My heart is so happy with who Billie chooses to be with. His constant support for her, the need to take care of her, and show her how much she means to him was my favorite part of the story. He understands Billie in a way no one else can, and see right through her to know exactly what she needs. Every. Single. Time. 💛
Alejandra wrapped this up with the prettiest bow and I am so happy for Billie and her ending. This book was so so good, I refused to go to sleep until I finished it. Her writing draws you in and you’ll be saying “one more chapter” until it’s LITERALLY the last chapter!

This is the third book in the Moonstruck series and my favorite! If you’re a fan of contemporary romance novels and self-discovery stories, you should read this series. I’ve really enjoyed watching Billie mature through the books. Without any spoilers, I will say I was crying by page 22 of this book and smiling by the end. For some reason I thought this was a trilogy and was excited to find out book four is coming summer 2022!
Thank you to the author for a gifted copy.

4.5/5
Definitivamente tiene todo: drama romance, sufrimiento, un chiqui de spicy pero es q estuvo simplemente perfecto. Ver como Billie ha crecido tanto a través de estos libros fue alucinante , y ver como todo iba encajando y uff no yo simplemente tengo que decir que amé. Billie y william se han ganado un lugar muy especial en mi corazón

I want the 4th book now!!!
I need the 4th book now 😂
445 pages of constant inmerse into all these characters
that fascinated me. Feeling the rush, the sadness, the happiness and excitement on every single chapter as you keep reading.
This third book definitely shows the growing phase of the main character (Billie) and everyone else around her.
This one was the quickest one to read
Page turner! even though it’s longer than the first two ones that I’ve also loved. It has developed a feeling of a more familiar space around us readers, characters and author ❤️
Love the Author’s note every single time.
Shows the closeness that comes natural from Ale to her readers.
She has outstand herself again.
Thanks for this one.
Perfect Gift for any reason!!!!
Cannot wait for the grand finale.
