REVIEW by LAWonder10:
This second book in 'The 8th Island Trilogy' continues with more action, turmoil, and introduces even more characters! 

Will Ella's advancing cancer end her life before a cure can be found? 

Will Ella and Luggie drift apart or is there a way their unconventional relationship turn into more?

Tessa continues to be torn between her husband and her new attraction. What will be the final decision? Ardenal has painfully released her from her vows. Will she grasp this escape?

All these questions, the feuding of the various cultures continue. Will they all be destroyed or will some type of agreement be made?

There is many more incredible "twists" in 'Below the Moon'. The answers will be found, mysteries solved within these next final books of the Trilogy.

I felt there was too many repetitive type of situations, yet it still held the interest of readers. The lead in to the third book was not as strong as the ending of the first book. It almost felt quitting the saga would be feasible. I am looking forward to the final book. I am anticipating a stronger plot... At least i hope so.

I offer a Three Star rating for this second book of the series.
*This book was gifted me with no pressure for a positive review. This is my honest review.
