Of Water and Moonlight by Valia Lind
4.0
Solid 3.5 stars
It’s been a while since I’ve read a book that I found recommended on social media that wasn’t filled with obnoxious amounts of language and mature themes but still had elements of magic and mystery that I absolutely love.
The story is told through Maddie’s POV so you get the inner monologue of a 16 year old girl, which I kind of enjoyed (though it took a bit to get used to since reading more New Adult/Adult fantasy). You have an obvious love interest but no crazy love triangle situation, the story opens up with a mystery that uncovers more mysteries (which is only natural), and you have a mix of witches, shifters, and Fae sprinkled throughout.
Of Water and Moonlight is a short read (compared to the books I normally read that range from usually 300-500 pages or so) but it moves at a steady enough pace that allows the story to “breathe” in moments between action/adrenaline scenes without seeming too boring or drawn out.
I definitely look forward to reading the next book in the series.
