Dark Guardian brings werewolf romance to the young adult genre. The five books, all published in 2009, follow teenagers whose lives are intertwined with a community of shapeshifters. Each “Moon” title (Moonlight, Full Moon, Dark of the Moon, Shadow of the Moon) reflects the lunar cycle that governs the werewolves’ world.
The series taps into the same supernatural romance appetite that made Twilight a phenomenon, but with werewolves at the center. Rachel Hawthorne creates a world where the supernatural elements are inseparable from the characters’ romantic and personal lives.
