Kayla thinks she's stumbled onto a great summer job with people she connected with last summer. Right now, she's the newbie and can't wait to start pulling her weight. She's hoping to figure out some deep dark issues hidden under the surface about her past - the murder of her parents in the very woods she'll be working in this summer.
She can't help but feel Lucas's eyes on her. She knows that he's older, but she can't help crushing over him anyways. What she doesn't realize, but soon begins to unravel, is that Lucas isn't like other boys.
In fact, the townspeople aren't exactly normal. They mate for life at the age of seventeen, and Kayla's birthday marks the beginning of a trip. She has no idea what's going on around her, but with a group of scientists heading into the woods in hopes of catching a legendary werewolf, she's about to find out.
What she discovers leaves her as breathless as when she discovers she's head-over-heels for Lucas.
MOONLIGHT is slightly different than Rachel Hawthorne's other novels. While all have romance, this darker series plays with the supernatural. DARK GUARDIAN is not a series to miss. Hawthorne expertly weaves romance with the supernatural and cloaks them with danger.

What a good YA series. I found this by accident. It was a quick read that made you want to keep reading. I really enjoy the shifters and their need to find a mate for life. It had passion without all the intimate details. You still felt their desire and need for each other. Good for all ages. I think the writer could expound more on the shifting and while they are wolves.
great,great,great book. very fast read. once i started i couldnt put it down,i read it in four hours. :)
