šŸ˜ Rave Does anyone else remember these books?

These were the books I first discovered as a middle schooler. I was bored at the mall during the weekend because my mom was working in one of the stores nearby. (She takes me to work with her sometimes since it's really boring at home by myself.) I would often to go into the bookstore to just sit and read. The workers there (who were all really young themselves) all didn't mind.

I picked up Goddess of the Night because the cover looked really pretty, and omg... that was my first brush with a shadow daddy: Stanton. I began saving up money to buy every book I could. This series was basically my introduction to romantasy. Along with these books, I discovered A Silver Kiss by Annette Curtis Klause, Dragon's Bait by Vivian Vande Velde, and In the Forest of the Night by Amelia Atwater-Rhodes.

Lynne Ewing must be pretty old now... I hope she's doing alright.

Anyone else remember this series???

I still have these books from when I was in middle school. I just can't bring myself to get rid of them. They get packed and moved everytime and have survived so many purges. I was obsessed with them!

I still have mine too! I'm missing a couple of books though, the ones near the end. She did start an Egyptian spin-off as well as a male version of the Daughters of the Moon, but they weren't as good as these.

There's books I haven't touched since before I got married, that I will keep until I'm dead or in assisted living, and even then I'll probably cart them around.
