Synopsis

"Davies captures the magic of Dennard's exciting world and illuminates each character" —AudioFile on The Luminaries

The Hunting Moon is the highly anticipated sequel to The Luminaries by New York Times bestselling author Susan Dennard.

Winnie Wednesday has gotten everything she thought she wanted. She passed the deadly hunter trials, her family has been welcomed back into the Luminaries, and overnight, she has become a local celebrity.

The Girl Who Jumped. The Girl Who Got Bitten.

Unfortunately, it all feels wrong. For one, nobody will believe her about the new nightmare called the Whisperer that's killing hunters each night. Everyone blames the werewolf, even though Winnie is certain the wolf is innocent.

On top of that, following her dad's convoluted clues about the Dianas, their magic, and what happened in Hemlock Falls four years ago is leaving her with more questions than answers.

Then to complicate it all, there is still only one person who can help her: Jay Friday, the boy with plenty of problems all his own.

As bodies and secrets pile up around town, Winnie finds herself questioning what it means to be a true Wednesday and a true Luminary—and also where her fierce-hearted loyalties might ultimately have to lie.

A Macmillan Audio production from Tor Books.

Goodreads review by Ana on November 29, 2023

The Hunting Moon was one of my most anticipated releases of 2023, I’ve been craving it since the moment I read the last page of The Luminaries.

Goodreads review by Callum on December 13, 2024

"The Hunting Moon" is even better than "The Luminaries." Susan Dennard has outdone herself again and I can't wait for this book to be released on November 7 so everyone can read it, and for the sequel coming next year.

Goodreads review by Natalie all_books_great_and_small on January 11, 2025

Goodreads review by Bethany (Beautifully Bookish Bethany) on September 30, 2023

I want to preface this review by saying that while I enjoyed the first Luminaries book, I am much more a fan of Dennard's Witchlands series. This series feels a lot younger, aimed at younger teens as opposed to the YA/Adult crossover vibe of the Witchlands. Which is fine, I'm just less into it. So t......more

Goodreads review by Booksblabbering || Cait❣️ on October 05, 2023

Okay, but YA fantasy done right hits differently. Winnie Wednesday has gotten everything she thought she wanted. She passed the deadly hunter trials, her family is welcomed back into the Luminaries, and she has become a local celebrity.
But it all feels wrong. Still, nobody will believe her about the......more
