Moonlit
Eighteen-year-old Tanzy Hightower knows
horses, has grown up with them on Wildwood Farm. She also knows not
to venture beyond the trees that line the pasture. Things happen out
there that can’t be explained. Or undone. Worse, no one but she and
the horses can see what lurks in the shadows of the woods.
When a moonlit ride turns into a
terrifying chase, Tanzy is left to question everything, from the
freak accident that killed her father to the very blood in her veins.
Broken and confused, she turns to Lucas, a scarred, beautiful
stranger, and to Vanessa, a charming new friend who has everything
Tanzy doesn’t.
But why do they seem to know more about
her than she knows herself?
Praise
"Virginia's trees look like
they're burning. Most of them blaze crimson or gold, but some still
have a chokehold on their green. I wish they'd give it up already.
Leaves are more beautiful when they're dying."
And so Moonlit begins. From here the
story rolls from one twist to another with many vivid characters
whose motives are hard to predict. I found myself being suspicious of
everyone, wanting to tell Tanzy to be very careful. The deeper I fell
into the plot, the more questions kept rising to the surface. But not
to worry, all of my questions were answered. Appropriate for all
ages, if you love paranormal fantasy mixed with suspense, mystery and
other-worldly romance, you'll love this novel!

Prologue
The first anniversary of my father’s
death was even harder on my mother. Back then, I thought she was
haunted most by what she didn’t know. I refused to blame her when
she raged above me on our staircase that night, drunk and sad and
angry. When she made me promise I’d never ride again. When she
hurled a half-full bottle of vodka at my face and it exploded on the
wooden stairs at my feet. I hadn’t tried to get out of the way. She
had just missed.
I wanted to tell her that knowledge was
no solace, that what you know can burn inside you until there’s
nothing left but guilt and ash. I also wanted to protect her from
losing the only piece of him she had left. So I didn’t say a word.
