The Sacrifice The Daughters of the Moon No 5 Lynne Ewing Books

I'm an older reader, my granddaughter & I started reading the books after the twilight books, which were good but I didn't love them like I love the DOTM series. I have all of them, but this book is my favorite along with the final book, the final eclipse. I feel Stanton is so loyal to the Goddess Serena because she is the only goddess who offered him acceptance & love knowing what he was: a Follower. He also knows that as the key she has the power to change everything to good.

I think she understands his suffering being un invitus, taken at 6 years old from his family, he was robbed of his childhood & his life as a young prince. She eventually realizes that his love for her is so strong that he will never destroy her, as he sacrifices himself over & over for her, and she also does for him. this is a great love story, after reading the book you realize that he has live around 700 years, without love & now that he has found Serena he will not live without her, and the gratitude he feels toward her, for her love for him, makes him loving, kind, gentle, understanding & devoted to her.

I loved that in the end they stayed together in Nufundus, which will be a place of light with her as the key. I wish there was another book about their life together & the lives of the last 2 goddesses Vanessa & Jimena.

I think the books are suited for 14 to 15 year olds, as the girls of that age are begining to think about love & the opposite sex. I think it leaves enough to the immagination, but most importantly I feel is the message the books convey, is that girls have many gifts within them, love, kindness, understanding, & the ability to also grow up to be superheroes too, that the boys are not the only ones that can be superheroes, & hopefully that will help them to grow up healthy & strong, & not self destruct in their teens, as so many do between middle school & high school.
I have recommended this books to many young girls & they have all loved them.
I just wish that the books would be made into movies.

The Sacrifice The Daughters of the Moon No 5 Lynne Ewing Books Reviews

When I first heard this was a Stanton book, I was somewhat shocked. First of all, I demanded, isn't this called Daughters of the Moon, not Sons of Evil? But then I got the book and I totally fell in love with the story.
But I'm getting off track.
This story is about star-crossed lovers (Shakspeare on the brain much?) One is named Serena, and she is a goddess, a Daughter of the Moon. She has the power to read people's minds. She is part of a group of three others-until the 6th book that is- named Catty, Vanessa, and Jimena who each have a special power. Serena falls in love with Stanton. Stanton is what's know as a Follower, someone who follows the Atrox, an evil out to destroy hope and the Daughters of the Moon. Stanton is an Immortal, which is one of the highest ranks among the Atrox. His destiny is to destroy the Daughters. The greatest gift to the Atrox was a seduction and capture of a Daughter. But Stanton loves Serena truly, and he's not after her powers anymore. He loves her.
This is the saddest and most dark of all the Daughters of the Moon books. To find out what happens to Stanton and to see if Serena become abducted by him, read this book. To find out what everyone is talking about with Catty, read this book. You won't regret it.
Stanton is a Follower to an ancient evil called the Atrox. Since the dawn of time, the Atrox has been jealous of the world of light, and it brought itself into being. Stanton was once a boy living in Western Europe with a father who was a great prince. Stanton's father raised up a crusade against the Atrox, but the Atrox kidnapped Stanton away in return. Stanton was taken into it's evil congregation against his will; thus he is 'invitus'.
Serena Killingsworth is a Daughter of the Moon. Her destiny is quite different from Stanton's. Blessed by the moon goddess Selene, Serena (along with Catty, Jimena, and Vanessa) was put on earth to spread hope. She is a goddess, with the special power to read minds. Serena and Stanton have fallen deeply in love with one another, but Stanton is trying to push her away. He tells her it is too dangerous; the Regulators would destroy them both if they learned of the truth.
Stanton feels the first tremor of warning flutter through the air on Halloween night. Stanton is worried about Serena and what might happen to her. Soon Malcolm, a Regulator whose butchery is legend, arrives. Stanton boldly accepts his fate, but when the dying Malcolm begs for help, Stanton is shocked. He tries to warn Stanton but Malcolm dies before he can. Stanton soon hears whispers growing from the underworld, and Cassandra tells him she has someone who wants to meet him...
Stanton would do anything to protect Serena, which is what I loved most about 'The Sacrifice'. It was albeit, sad, but if you read the next book in the series (The Lost One), you won't feel as sad (I don't want to give anything away), but this book was WOW!
My new favorite in this series. Stanton offers a brand new point of view. He's sexy, seductive, and dangerous and offers a brand new perspective from the dark side. With Serena and Stanton's secret out, stakes are higher and the plot moves fast. Every chapter is an insightful glimpse of the lifestyle of both the Followers and an Immortal.

I love the descriptions Lynne Ewing uses while describing Stanton's ability to both dissapear into the shadows and his ability to manipulate other peoples' thoughts. He is far from emotional, but still a good guy that readers will either love or love to hate. His promise at the end of the book is one you really believe.
Purchased a few from the series as a gift for my 15 year old who loves them! Plan on ordering more of the series.
