The Moonlight Child

A gripping and emotional novel that will leave you wondering about the neighbors next door...

On a cold January night, Sharon Lemke heads outside to see a lunar eclipse when she notices something odd at the house behind her backyard. Through her neighbor's kitchen window, she sees what appears to be a little girl washing dishes late at night. But the Fleming family doesn't have a child that age, and even if they did, why would she be doing housework at this late hour?

It would be easy for Sharon to just let this go, but when eighteen-year-old Niki, a former foster child, comes to live with Sharon, she notices suspicious activity at the Flemings' house as well. Clearly a little girl lives there, even if Suzette Fleming denies it. When calling social services doesn't result in swift action, Sharon and Niki decide to investigate on their own.

Predictable, but really good! ❤️

I guess I’m in the minority on this one. It’s a quick read and an interesting premise. Unfortunately the characters were very one dimensional, especially Suzette, so the whole book fell flat for me.

I had to start this book over quiet a few times as an audio. My head couldn’t grasp that there were multiple stories within a story. The stories do all combine at the end which was almost predictable as you got to the middle and some obvious things had happen. But nevertheless this was a decent book.

I was able to finish it, but the ending was lacking. It was just timid from my normal reads.
