This is book one in a trilogy so you will want to make sure there are copies to purchase of or your library also has Midnight Games and Darkest Dawn as well. A very good and entertaining read.

A group of kids hang out in an abandoned house where the previous deceased resident was rumoured to be a witch. They stumble upon a secret room and find jewellery inside which they steal. For these thieves the bullies amongst them get their comeuppance for the tormentation of Candy (also one of those who stole jewels), in a series of terrifying events which are also very entertaining for the reader.

Lewis and Jamie sneak away at night to the Fear Street Mansion.Soon there friends start doing the same.One night while at the Mansion a wall falls down revealing a secret room,the room contains the treasures of the Fear Family.Who were terrible and evil.Especially Angelica Fear who killed alot of people.Anyway the kids help themselves to the stuff.Candy takes an amulet pendant.Soon bad things start happening to Candy's friends who are now her emeny's.Really bad things is someone trying to kill them ? Why does Candy always wear that pendant.So they set out to find out before it's to late.

Well, I thought that Moonlight Secrets would have been better but it was good.When Candy always used to rub the stone I thought that she would have been doing all that stuff.When ever things used to happen she will be rubbing it and saying words nobody can hear.When cockroaches came out of his mouth that was gross!But the ending was very shocking.Once I found out the stone was fake I was suprised. I will be reading Midnight Games to see what happened.

Lewis and Jamie just wanted some time to be alone in-between working hard in school, college applications, and after-school jobs. So the two seniors snuck out together. Each night, after their parents went to sleep, a little after midnight, they would head out. Then the trend caught on. Soon, Lewis and Jamie weren't the only teens sneaking out at night. First, they went to the old burned-down Fear Mansion, where rats and spiders were found in groups, but it didn't bother them much. Then the Fear Mansion was turned down, and the gang started hanging out at a new bar called Nights - built on top of the Fear Mansion. They were the Night People. But Jamie and Lewis, they remember the crazy stuff that happened, the stuff that caused them to be left back, and repeat Senior year, and leave them in the hospital for months. They all just wanted to have a good time, and hang out with their friends with no parents around to interfere with them. But then the nights turned bleak. Accidents began to happen, pranks gone wrong, and death. Now the Night People must find out the truth, before their secret is exposed.

I have been a fan of R.L. Stine since I was 6-years-old, and have loved everything that he's ever penned. Though MOONLIGHT SECRETS, and the FEAR STREET NIGHTS series, in general, has got to be one of my favorite trilogies by him. Jamie and Lewis are eerie characters, whose cryptic memories of that night at the Fear Mansion send shivers up your spine, while many of the other characters - Shark, Nate, Candy - each possess their own strange quirks. Narrated by Nate, MOONLIGHT SECRETS is a fabulous novel, and sets the groundwork for its sequels MIDNIGHT GAMES and DARKEST DAWN.

This is a good book with two problems. We never got a charecter discription. The night people could have had three heads, we just don't know. The second is we don't know what we are fighting. I think it is Angelica Fear. All we know is they killed Candy for no reason. But it is still a good book. Book one in the trilogy
