Look For Me By Moonlight by Mary Downing Hann

  

Do you like mystery but also horror books? Well, I know I do, and that is why I read the book " Look For Me By Moonlight." That book was written by Mary Downing Hann. This book is a girl named Cynda who has to go to her dad's house for the summer because her mom and her boyfriend are going to Italy. When she arrives to her dad's house she was greeted by her step-mother and the son. Cynda was directed to a hotel room as her room. Her dad actually owns a hotel but the business is actually slow. So the family just lives in there instead. Until one night a man named Vincent arrives to the hotel. He was a writer who needed a place to stay. Cynda's dad was happy to invite him in. His room was right above Cynda's. In the middle of the night Cynda can hear Vincent pacing back and forth. But again it was in the middle of the night. Every day in the evening when it was dinner time, that was the only time Vincent came out of his room. He would come down and have wine with Cynda's dad and the step mother. Cynda would be on the couch reading her favorite book or playing with a puzzle. But the weird this was Vincent would always give Cynda flirting looks. Back where he is from he was called charming . But here he was different. Like physically. But Cynda didn't know. She was in love, she caught feelings. She was now happy. At ten o clock at night  Vincent would come to her door. He would do a special knock so she knew it wasn't her parents. She would let him in and they would hang out and talk. But one day, when Vincent knocked on the door, he sounded different. But still Cynda was in love and didn't know what was coming for. Vincent came in and laid on the bed. He jumped up and started to kiss Cynda. But then.. OUCH!! Cynda screamed. Vincent covered her mouth quickly so the parents wouldn't come back. Vincent just bit her neck. You know what that means. He was a vampire. Every night when Cynda heard Vincent's footsteps she could feel her neck throb. Every since that day something happened. It wasn't the same. But what happened next? Well you have to find out when you read the book.

I think girls and boys would like this book because it keeps you on the edge of your seat and it makes you want to read more. The plot has so many twists that you don't know what will happen next. This book does have a part which should not be read by a first or second graders. This book should be read by middle schoolers. But this book is amazing. If anyone likes horror and or mystery this book is for you.
