Un grande thriller

È una fredda notte di gennaio e Sharon Lemke è fuori, nel cortile, per assistere a un’eclissi di luna. Nella casa accanto, una bambina sta lavando i piatti. L’ora è tarda, e Sharon non capisce come qualcuno possa costringere una ragazzina a fare le faccende domestiche a notte fonda. Ma un pensiero molto più inquietante la assale non appena si ricorda che i Fleming, in realtà, non hanno una figlia piccola… Sharon sa che non dovrebbe immischiarsi, ma quando anche Niki, la diciottenne che ospita temporaneamente, inizia a notare attività sospette a casa dei Fleming, non può più trattenersi. Una telefonata a vuoto ai servizi sociali la convince che, se vuole evitare che qualcosa di terribile accada a pochi metri da casa sua, deve indagare da sola. Ma la verità che la attende va oltre ogni possibile immaginazione…

Recensioni
Dear Reader, People sometimes ask where authors get their ideas and oftentimes we haven't a clue. Usually it's an amalgam of our own experiences and that of others, combined with our imagination. For The Moonlight Child I can give a more definitive answer: it began when I read a newspaper article abo Leggi tutto
I was intrigued by the premise, but underwhelmed by how the story turned out. The tags on Goodreads don't feel accurate to the actual story (thriller, mystery, horror, suspense) - there's no drama or spooky stuff, just a domestic case you'd see anywhere on the news. It felt like a story told by a so Leggi tutto
My Reviews Can Also Be Found On: The Storygraph and The Book Review Crew Blog This is a hard review to write. First of all, Goodreads says this is a horror book and also a thriller and the blurb would have you believing so as well. It is a suspenseful mystery at a stretch. The plot is definitely engr Leggi tutto
Where do I begin to review The Moonlight Child? I started reading this book near bedtime (BIG MISTAKE) and couldn't put it down until I finished at 4 a.m. It's that good. As much as I loved this book and wish it wasn't over, nothing I've written seems to do it justice. Not only is this a very intrigu Leggi tutto

Honestly after a few chapters I just skipped to the end because it is literally the most basic predictable story. I’m surprised it’s rated so highly because there is not anything unique about it. I went back to skim in between to make sure I was right and it was just so ridiculous. Should you be abl Leggi tutto
Moonlight child was my last book of 2020 I finished it at 11pm on 30th December. I still remember the pain I went through while reading this book. It was captivating, intense, fast paced with no dull events and astonishing. The characters were dramatic, far from likeable but I was still rooting for
I'm not sure what to say. I feel like I read a different book than everyone else. To be upfront though, I've never connected well with 3rd person. This book, for me, felt like one long prologue or epilogue. Each character was a little one dimensional. The story from chapter one is lost for way too l Leggi tutto
