Whispers
at Moonrise
The fourth book of the Shadow Falls series
By C.C. Hunter
Warning: The following contains spoilers for those who haven’t read the first three books of the series
A chameleon! Kylie Galden, the protagonist we’ve been following throughout the entire series trying to figure out what she is, is a chameleon. But what does that mean? In the fourth book Whispers at Moonrise Kylie has a new quest: finding out what being a chameleon means? Other than her supernatural problems she also has boy troubles. Both Lucas, a werewolf, and Derek, a fae, are striving to get her attention. And to top it all off, Kylie, with her ability to communicate with the dead, has a new ghost following her, with a familiar face!
The third book, Taken at Dusk, ends with Kylie’s deceased father stating that they were chameleon. So what’s Kylie going to do now? When she tells her friends even Holiday, a leader of the camp who Kylie loves like a sister, they all laugh at the idea of her being “a lizard”. Then Derek tells her “I love you,” when she is already in a committed relationship with Lucas.
One day Kylie’s mother unexpectedly comes to Shadow Falls Camp. Kylie immediately asks her mother if someone is hurt, but her mother says the one who is hurt is Kylie. Apparently, Kylie’s mother got a letter saying that Kylie has been sick and is suggested to run some tests. Kylie tells her mother that everything is okay but Holiday and Kylie automatically know that it was the FRU, the police for the supernaturals, who sent the letter to her mother, since they’ve been yearning to run some tests on Kylie, the undefined creature.
Often Kylie feels a calling from the woods, something in there is telling her to come in. But no matter how tempted Kylie is, there is no possible way she can enter, especially after an odd visit from her grandparents. Burnett, another leader of the camp, was able to get ahold of Kylie’s father, Daniel’s adoptive grandfather, and when they came to visit, they weren’t Daniel’s adoptive parents. They weren’t complete strangers either but rather the biological father and aunt of Daniel (but Kylie didn’t know this until after the visit). Since then, they’ve disappeared from the face of the earth, until one day in a turn of events Kylie enters the woods and comes face to face with the people who can solve her problems.
You may ask yourself why her grandfather and grandaunt are being so discreet? Well, we know from the third book that Kylie’s grandmother was killed by the FRU when being tested. Kylie’s grandpa, knowing that Burnett is part of the FRU, wants to stay away from the camp as much as possible due to the trauma of losing her wife. One night when Kylie gets to sneak off campus, she finally gets to ask her granddad: “What’s a chameleon?” He explains to her that it means they have a little bit of everything in their blood. They can change from one supernatural to another; they even can change to human form. When Kylie asks how she can control the transformations he tells her that since it’s a skill that can take a lifetime to master she must go with them and leave Shadow Falls Camp. Kylie refuses, but when her grandfather hears that the FRU is trying to run test on her he insists on her leaving. She still doesn’t agrees.
Kylie can’t leave now! Not when she has a mission. The ghost that has been following her looks like...Holiday, her beloved Holiday. But how is that even possible? With the help of Derek she discovers that the ghost isn’t Holiday rather her twin sister Hannah. Though this may seem like a sigh of relief, with C.C. Hunter it never is. Hannah tells Kylie that her murderer killed her believing it will give him power and he wants more power, so Kylie if doesn’t do something soon Holiday will join her sister in ghosthood.
Throughout the entire series we’ve seen how many problems Kylie has gone through, but in this book the troubles are tougher and life-changing. First, someone is after Holiday but with forgetful Hannah, Kylie doesn’t know who. Second, her grandfather wants her to leave Shadow Falls leaving behind her loved one. Third, she is confused about love. Derek and her have grown closer but she is officially in love with Lucas; however, Lucas is hiding something. Even he has said himself that he has secrets. Want to know more? Well, you're going to have to wait with me until April 30th, 2013 to read the final installment of the Shadow Falls series. Though it seems like a long time don’t worry, I’m here to entertain you. I stress that you read this book! The ending is so breathtakingly shocking!
