Official Description:
In The Hunting Moon, the highly anticipated sequel to The Luminaries, Winnie Wednesday finally seems to have gotten everything she’s dreamed of: she passed the deadly hunter trials, her family’s place among the Luminaries has been restored, and overnight she becomes a local celebrity known as “The Girl Who Jumped.” But something feels… wrong.
No one believes her about a new nightmare known as the Whisperer that’s killing hunters each night — they all blame the werewolf, even though Winnie is certain it isn’t responsible. And the cryptic clues her father left behind about the Dianas, their magic, and the mysteries surrounding Hemlock Falls only raise more questions.
With bodies and secrets piling up and only one person who can help — Jay Friday, the boy with plenty of problems of his own — Winnie must confront what it truly means to be a Luminary and where her fierce-hearted loyalties will ultimately lie.
