The Cursed Moon by Angela Cervantes

4.0

Thank you, Angela Cervantes, for the ARC. I leave this review voluntarily and happily. Also, thank you, Scholastic Press, for your hard work!

I truly enjoyed this book. It wasn't exactly scary as it was heartwarming, and it teaches a lesson. Listen to your elders even if it sounds crazy at times. They do know what they are talking about. Evil will always be overcome by love and family. Hope is one of the strongest motivating things out there, and second chances are always worth giving.

This book is fast-paced and very much worth the read. I enjoyed every moment, and when it picked up, I truly couldn't put the book down. I wanted to know what happened next, if anything was going to happen, just the atmosphere was building and was so exciting.

This book isn't truly horror. It's far more than that. It's second chances, hope, love, and just overcoming fear to protect those you love and keeping friends safe. Fighting evil and overcoming old fears. This book is definitely worth a read.

The main character was given a warning not to read scary stories on the night of the blood moon, and yet he does so anyway. Evil awakens, and bad things start to happen. Loved ones and friends are in trouble, and now Rafael must do everything he can to save them all before its too late, before the Caretaker takes them all away.
