After battling werewolves and evil aunties, Bryar Rose is ready to enjoy her new life. No more crazy aunties. Her curse is toast. And Bry\u2019s new man, Knox, is literally a dream come true. Best of all, Bry will soon attend a regular high school. Forget those sketchy tutors! To get ready, Bry is dedicating the rest of her summer to some serious back-to-school shopping with her best friend, Elle. It\u2019s a blast, except for one thing:<\/p>\n

Mysterious strangers are following Bry across Manhattan.<\/p>\n

All these stalkers have oddly familiar scents and an uncanny ability to slip into the shadows whenever Bry tries to confront them. Even worse, their presence is making Knox act crazy with a capital C.<\/p>\n

But Bry\u2019s having none of it. Enough of her life has already been ruined by secrets. With Elle\u2019s help, Bry plans to confront these strangers, find out what they want, and send them packing. Trouble is, the truth about their identity won\u2019t be so easy to manage, especially when Bry finds out how these stalkers could change her future with Knox…and not for the better.<\/p>\n

Review<\/h2>\n

Moonlight and Midtown<\/em> was a fun, lighthearted read. Overall, the story is mostly fluff, not that there’s anything wrong with that.<\/p>\n

However, I was rather confused as I read through it, because the story didn’t match the synopsis. There certainly weren’t any “mysterious strangers…following Bry across Manhattan.”<\/p>\n

I also feel as though I got cheated out of an important part of the story at the end. I won’t share any spoilers, but I wish the book had continued for another half hour or so of story time.<\/p>\n

In general, though,\u00a0Moonlight<\/em> and Midtown<\/em> was enjoyable.<\/p>\n
