Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

A lonely teenage girl, an isolated inn by the ocean, a ghost, a mysterious stranger-sure, these are gothic cliches, but in Hahn's (Stepping on the Cracks) able hands, they add up to a stylish supernatural thriller. Cynda, the 16-year-old narrator, has trepidations about moving in with her estranged father and his much younger wife at the Maine inn that they run even before she hears that the inn is haunted, ostensibly by the ghost of a young woman murdered some 60 years ago. Soon after her arrival, handsome, sophisticated Victor Morthanos checks in for a month-long stay. Cynda's five-year-old half-brother, Todd, hates him on sight, but Cynda just as quickly falls in love: Victor alone understands her jealousy and resentment of Todd and her stepmother, and he alone truly appreciates her. By the time Cynda figures out that Victor is a vampire and the murderer of the ghostly girl, she is well on the way to becoming a ghost herself, as is Todd. How Cynda overcomes her thralldom makes for a deliciously spine-tingling story-all the more gripping for its sturdy psychological underpinnings. Ages 11-up.

5.0 out of 5 stars Seductive Winter Madness, November 7, 2001
By 
When I was in the eighth grade I accidentally picked up this book out of boredom during a study hall. When I returned to study hall I began reading it and I have never been the same since. It is my favorite book of all time. I've read it at least eight times and hope to read it more. Cynda reminded me so much of myself- unsure, emotional, a child of divorced parents. As the book progressed I felt myself falling in love with Vincent alongside of her. Now on every snowy night I turn off the lights and stare out into the darkness, imagining that he is there, and a shiver goes down my spine. I recommend this book to everyone- it has many important lessons to teach about trust and the naivety of young teenage girls.

5.0 out of 5 stars Becky Blantons Look for Me by Moonlight Review, November 6, 2005
A Kid's Review
This review is from: Look for Me by Moonlight (Paperback)
This was one of the best books I've ever read. I can relate with Cynda, I under stand how she's feeling. In the begaining of the story her father leaves her family for an 18-year old student in his english class.
Then when she goes to stay with her stepmother and her father she has the time to worry about everything. She becomes frightened that Suson(her stepmother) and Tod(her hafe brother) will not like her. Then she worries that she will not like them. When she gets to the airport she discovers that no one is there to great her.
The waitingroom is completly emty. Soon she begains to worry some more about her father's safty. After almost two hours of waiting he finaly get there.
On the way to the inn thay stop at a small dinner for some coffie and a bite to eat. After they've finished they set off again. When they finaly step out of the truck in front of the old in Cynda is very wormly greated by Suson and Tod.
Early the next day a young boy by the name of Will shows up. Cynda find out that he is quite the artist. With in the hour she has a crush on Will. Later that night a handsome stranger named Vincent M. shows up at the inn looking for a room.
When they envite him in they learn that he is a writer. Cynda quikly falls for the hansome stranger. When Cynda learns the truth about him she trys to fight him off but has no luck.
So she goes to will for help. Together they devise a plan to get rid of Vincent once and for all. Once Vincent is gone they return to the inn to find that her father and stepmother had phoned the cops for fear that THEIR children were kidnapped. Cynda finaly feels at home at the inn. She learned that Suson and her father realy did care for her.
This story goes thore some real life pain, fear, love, and hate. This is the book that I will read to my children and I hope that in the years to come it shall become a tradition in our family.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is good, December 10, 1999

Mandy (Osawatomie, Kansas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Look for Me by Moonlight (Paperback)
I really loved this book. It was excellent. I couldn't put it down for second. I think Mary Dawning Hahn is a very good writer. I've read a lot of her books, but I think this onewas the best of all of them. the story is about a girl named Cynda that is 14. Her mom and step-father travel around the world, so she has to go live with her dad. While she's there she meets a guy she likes and his name is Vincent. He is way older than she is. One thing I like about this book is when they first meet. One thing I disliked about this book was it started kinda slow.I think people who like vampire romance novels should read this book. If you want to know more about this book this book read it.
