The idea for this series is interesting, and it's a shame the stories aren't longer. I may check out other books by the author in the future. I reserve 5-star ratings for things that I enjoy so much I can barely put them down, and this book could have gotten 4 stars, but the nook edition, at least, includes what I would call "text speech" (substituting "Oh my god" with OMG, and "by the way" with btw). They're not peppered throughout the story, but, for me, even once is too much (unless the story is told in the voice of a teenager, but I digress). Overall, it's definitely worth reading - the character interactions are humorous and intriguing, and the plot as a whole is pretty neat.

Good read! Elves!

The first book is my favourite one but I really liked this one as well. The h could handle herself and she didn't need a man to rescue her really which I rather enjoyed.
Her family background was rather out of left field and her real mum seemed a real nasty piece of work but the H's family seemed very nice and accepting so its all to the good.
Its another very short novella bit it seemed to work. Past and future characters make appearances or are mentioned so it carries on the world building nicely.

Mirie an agent of the secretive committee is assigned to stalk...I mean observe a hunky elvish prince who has the powerful possible world ending artifact but the problem is like all good short novels, her target is just to cute.....mmmm
I've read all three of the moon trilogy's & this is defiantly my favorite, mostly because of the female lead mirie. I like how there's a little reference to first book & picks up what was left out. But was a bit disappointed there was no real lust or romance going on unlike the other two books, which was a shame because I like this couple the best. Still a good book tho.

This second enstallment does not follow the characters of Black Moon however it is in connection. I enjoyed this one very much but I would like to learn more about the world that is the setting for the Amber Moon. I just hope that they all tie together in one big final finish. The one thing I did have trouble with was the names. In my head they sound one whay when I am sure they are really pronounced a differnt way. So maybe a table with all the characters (because my brain apparently cannot follow the connection of many names without a family tree) and phonetic spelling would be a delightful addition.

I like this
Cool story. This episode is just as exciting as the first. There is a plot by evil elves in the land of light and our heroine Mirie finds herself in danger from the conspirators.

A Quick Change of Scenery For Part II
I don't like giving out pieces of the story, so I'll just say that you don't start Pt II where you ended in Pt I. That's ok because the characters are new, the areas are new & the story just gets better! I love it & can't wait to read Pt III?

Good series.
Like the way this author writes except not so many fancy words that we need a dictionary to look them up with to get full meaning of what author is trying to convey.

Too short.
I really like the subject matter and story line. The book is far too short and is more like a magazine. I’d rather read a good book than a series of short stories.

(more like 2.5 stars = pretty good since it was free) I am doing an A to Z challenge using only Kindle freebies to try and whittle down the virtual TBR pile bloated by indescriminant one-clicking, so I read all three of Bevill' Moon Trilogy. Amber Moon was actually quite a bit better than the first Black Moon, but I was surprised by the shift from shifters, um well the change in focus from the cat shifters of the first book to the elven court in this one. The first book was really thin storywise but Bevill did a bit better in this one, though there is still some oddness to the writing that makes it feel more like a fanfict than an actual book, and some technical issues that were noticable to even a not-at-all-technical reader like me (words used oddly if not incorrectly and wrong words missed by spell check).
There are some creative ideas here and the female lead was actually fairly interesting, the male elven lead didn't have enough screen time to make him much more than a beautiful cutout (even though the bit we know of his history gave him potential.) And having read all three books, mate bonds are the author's favorite device to cement a relationship - this book unlike the others doesn't have any sex though. There is an attempt here at an overarching plot, the first book didn't have that sense at all, but the story ends fairly abruptly and picks right back up in the next book Silver Moon.

So, I immediately started the second book right after I closed the first one. I was so excited to know what's next for Isabella and Donovan (the first book's protagonists), but I was welcomed by new characters. Not what I expected.
The second book now circled the life of elves. I guess, each book in the trilogy contains different nonhuman-story (Now, I'm very excited to start book 3).
Compared to the first book, this is more focused on the human world--the committee--trying to protect human beings. The other side not discussed in the first book. I just can't picture out the setting, tho. I can't decide if it's like a wooden old palace, or the modern type. Or it's just a mansion we all see as a big house where rich families live. At some point, I really thought it was setted in a secluded-woody-forest-far-far-away-where-kings-and-queens-rule-with-witches-and-dragons-as-enemies-kind of place. But it's modern-ish.
Halfway through the story, an unexpected twist came out and it was beautifully sorted. Explained finely in detail.
I just wished it could've been more detailed--I meant their lives as magic creatures. I wanted to know about them. But hey, maybe I could just google about them. Haha!
The more I read on, the more it became interesting and intriguing. I just can't put it down.

Mirie works for the Committee. They have been sent to watch the Samson Anarion. He was an elf prince and she found it easy to watch him. Jack, her partner, and Mirie watched as he went through his exercise on his patio. She seen noticed something on his belt and seen that is where he had the Eyes of the Amber Moon. Suddenly he was watching her. Jack is able to escape his guards but Mirie is not. She ends up being shot and wakes up in another dimension.
Mirie had never told Jack that she was not human, she was afraid of losing his friendship as he did not care much for the otherworldly.
Mire ends up in the High Court. They are telling her she is someone else. That the woman who she knew as her mother was not. And that she had been promised to Anarion since birth.
She has to get the Eyes of the Amber Moon. They had already retrieved the Book of the Black Moon before it fell into the wrong hands.
She meets her real mother, gets kidnapped and trapped into a deadly dimension. The Book and Eyes had fallen into the wrong hands and so we have to wait until the third book, Silver Moon.
These books are free on Smashwords.

I had read the first one and enjoyed it a lot. Now, after getting my big surprise that the author is a woman (I really didn't imagine so while reading), found out that this one is really better than "Black Moon". I didn't find as many mistakes as other reviewers did, and I really enjoyed this story a lot more than the first one.
I found that this story has more time-coherence (I found the first one too fast-paced) and I was really pleased when this story was set apart from the first one without losing the plot line. I also enjoyed the descriptions that the author does from the characters.
The entire series (The moon trilogy) are for free on Amazon, so if you are looking for an enjoyable and affordable reading, this is a good choice. If you are obsessed with editing-formatting-grammar things, then you might find some typos and mistakes, but It didn't distract me from the story. Overall, It is a really good novella. You have to read the three of them to know what happens, so get them all.

Mirie needs to watch some baby prince because he might posses a mystical artifact that could destroy the world. She believe she and her partner Jack aren't noticed by the prince. But who knew that he was only appearing where she could see so he could see her, and claim her as his mate. Mirie is completely wrong about the history of her past, and because of that, it bites her in the ass as she tries to retrieve the artifact stolen from the prince. Can she survive?
Contains Spoilers!!!!
Mirie is totally kick ass killing all those monsters while she is trapped in the cursed land. I wish it would have gone into more details about the time difference and how long she been killing things. Bevill did an excellent job with the transition for the third part about Jack and his girl.
As with the rest of the series, it is an excellent story. I wish there was more details about everything but the story was still fulfilling and complete. Excellent job. I wanted more about the worlds because its hard to imagine since it is not Earth. O well.

I was really hoping that this book would be better than the first one, but sadly, I was wrong. In fact, I think it was worse than the first for a couple of reasons. 1) the characters used internet lingo like, "btw, blah blah blah" and "wtf, Mirie?" that's terrible form and should be kept out of novels (but, who are we kidding, these aren't real novels). And 2) the author's analogies just got worse. She used "curiouser and curiouser" and something along the lines of "She felt like she was in Oz with a dog whose name was that of a 70s/80s band" why not just say Toto? Better yet, why the reference to Oz at all? Which, by the way, was the second reference to Oz in these first two books. This book (and so far, this trilogy) is just bad. I will read the last one, and then hopefully the next free nook book I read won't be as terrible.

I thought this story would continue with the characters from book 1
o.O?
It didn't. It did mention them and let you know what they were up to, but that was it. These characters were more interesting and there was much more story and world building in this book. Almost an instalove, but interestingly nurture over nature raises its head. There was also no sexy time in this book, or maybe I somehow missed it. There was a lot of action and I did skip a bit, which is soo unlike me. And again, things at times were not fully explained -just accepted- leaving so many things to be desired.
One thing I really like about this trilogy so far is the strong female characters. This FMC was the strongest and it didn't take away from the MMC, which is a breath of fresh air.

Second book in the Moon series involves a woman named Mirie who works for the Committee, and her partner Jack Drake. They have learned that the 2nd relic( The Eyes of Amber Moon) is with a elf named Anarion who is the prince of the High Court. Mirie is spotted by him and is captured. She is taken to thier realm and come to find out that she is not entirely human and learns about her past and promises made for her. I dont want to say too much and spoil the story. I enjoyed this story as I enkoyed the first moon book. I was a little sad that I did not her much more about the characters from the first book though.

Ok, it wasn't clear to me in the first book, Black Moon, that there were, in fact, 3 artifacts which together can destroy the world. They were only searching for one.
In this novella Mirie is a human but a descendant of some kind of Norse supernatural - or so she believes. She is an agent of the secret committee who safeguards the world from black magick. Her job is to watch an elvish prince who is believed to have the second of the three artifacts.
Mirie feels an instant connection with the prince, and he with her, as aspects of her heritage are fully revealed.
Good story. Liked it a lot.

This is book 2 in the Moon Trilogy and I have to admit that I was so sad not to have more of the characters from book 1. However, I'm just as intrigued by the new characters in this book. The heroine is kick ass and can take care of herself. I like that the family relationships presented in this book are not traditional and it's not a case of lovey dovey perfection (cause neither is real life!)
I only rated this a 3 vs 4 stars due to the fact that I was genuinely surprised that the book 1 characters didn't continue on in this sequel - and - book 1 had a great steamy scene that spiced it up. Book 2 eluded to it but never went there completely.

This was the best of the 3 stories in the Moon trilogy, partly because it is also the longest giving you more of a chance to get to know the characters but mostly because Mirie is so awesome. Discovering she is a long lost elven princess betrothed to a prince does not in any way alter her down to earth no bull personality or her kick ass take care of herself ( and everyone else)abilities. While there is an element of insta-love in her relationship with the prince it is not over-done (and somewhat necessary given the shortness of the story). Plus while there, the romance takes a back seat to Mirie figuring out what is going on and kicking bad guy ass.

Following on from the first book in the series, I enjoyed this one the more than the first. It has a bit more adventure with a kick-ass chick who knows 3 forms of martial arts.
She is an Elf who is connected to the Half-Prince who has the second artefact in the Moon trilogy. They have to work together to find out who killed the Elfish clairvoyant and try and find a way to destroy the second artefact, however things never work out they way you want, and both the Book of the Blood Moon and the Amber Eyes fall into the wrong hands. This leads nicely onto the 3rd book.
I loved the tension between Miri and her Halfling Prince

3.5 stars.
This book is the second one in the Moon Trilogy by C.L. Bevill.
I liked this one more than the first one. There are no sex scenes in this one which is perfect for me. Beside this, the characters were more likeable than those from the first book and the mystery was more intense, having a little twisty turn towards the end that I liked pretty much.
Now, the next and last: Silver Moon.
P.S. If you'd like reading the trilogy, you can find the books for free on Amazon.

With all new characters, this story focuses on the 2nd artifact that the Committee is trying to get their hands on. I think this one is stronger than the first story, in part because the world and hierarchy of the elves seems better laid out. I liked that Mirie had to work through her identity issues on top of falling in magical love and solving crime in the Elvish realm. Fast and fun, the new characters expanded the world nicely and kept the storyline moving.
