Read Moonlit Mirage to find out what happens. I loved this book!
Moonlit Mirage: A Cook Islands Romance by Amy McKinley is part of a Moonlit Destinations series. This book can be read as a stand-alone as it is a complete novella.
I didn’t realise before starting this story that it had a crossover with the authors Gray Ghost series, which is a series I already love. However I soon figured it out and it made this book automatically better.
This book had all the things I have come to expect from this author – intrigue, suspense, action, romance. It hooked me immediately and I couldn’t put it down once I had started. I read the entire book in one sitting. This was a great start to a new series and I can’t wait to see what is to come next.
Moonlit Mirage – A Cook Islands Romance is the first in a new Moonlit Destination series by the amazing Amy McKinley. I have become a huge fan of Amy McKinley, in particular her Gray Ghost series so did not hesitate to jump headfirst into this book. To my great delight I discovered it has a crossover to the Gray Ghost series with Hannah and Jack making an appearance.
This book is a novella so doesn’t go into the great depth that a typical Amy McKinley book will take you but she still managed to write a suspenseful story that gripped me straight away and kept me glued to the very end a few hours later. I did not put this book down until the very end.
The book has a very exciting start with Nadia helping Cade Malone escape from his car when he was driven off the road into a river. However Nadia slipped off as soon as she released Cade and he always wondered why she had done that. The events of that fateful night never left the 2 of them so when they met several years later they were drawn straight to each other.
In typical Amy McKinley style you just know that there is so much in both of their pasts that will both put them at danger and also blow apart any relationship that they might have forged with each other and this is no different. It’s filled with excitement, danger and romance. What more could you ask for?
If this novella is any indication of the series that will develop from this story then I can’t wait to see what delights Amy McKinley has in store. I, for one, will definitely be reading.

Moonlit Mirage: A Cook Islands Romance is the first book in the Moonlit Destinations series by Amy McKinley. It’s a superb romantic suspense- with a bit of a crossover with The Gray Ghost Series. I love Ms. McKinley’s books, so it was a no-brainer when this popped up on my feed. But having The Gray Ghost connection made this book even more intriguing for me. This is right in Ms. McKinley’s wheelhouse- romantic suspense done right. We dive right into the action from the get-go, and I was definitely all in right from the very first page. The story has action, adventure, mystery, danger, suspense, romance, intrigue, emotion, spice- with plenty of dramatic and surprising developments that kept me glued to the pages.
You don’t need to have read The Gray Ghost series to fully follow and enjoy this book- but having read them I can vouch that they add a lot more ‘flavour’ to your overall reading experience of this book.
Now I am really looking forward to reading the rest of this series!!!
Thank you, Ms. McKinley!

Moonlit Mirage: A Cook Islands Romance (Moonlit Destination Series) by Amy McKinley was an excellent novella. I finished this book in one sitting. Case was Nadia’s mark. She was supposed to kill him but saved him instead. Disappearing, their paths cross again years later. There is a strange connection neither can explain.
I loved Cade and Nadia. They were amazing. Nadia was so lethal. Having read many of the Gray Ghost books I understood the type of training she went through to become who she was. Cade was a hunk. I liked that he took care of himself and branched off on his own after the night of the crash. This story was excellently written with a good plot and climax. McKinley did an awesome job with characters and scenery. I highly recommend this book.
I seriously love the suspenseful romances from Amy McKinley. I fell in love with her Grey Ghost series and was super excited when I found characters and small tidbits of it in this new series, the Moonlit Destination series. I loved how this book didn’t mess around, it just took off with a big jump and never slowed down until the final few chapters that brought it all together. This book read super quickly and was one that just kept you glued to the kindle until it was done. I loved how it was sort of a simpler read than past novels. Almost as if things were just simplified and not messy. The story was focused on a few things and didn’t branch in a million directions. I was enamored with the relationship that is featured between Nadia and Cade and it kept me rooting for them to find that happily ever after all the way until the end. I am excited to see what will come next in both this series and if we will get more in fact of the Grey Ghost peeps and stories that we love. I am sure that I will be in love with them just as much as I have before.
This is a short story filled with action. These two characters met in the past made a connection then met again in the future. Not sure if they will be able to overcome their past when all the cards are laid on the table.
Each of these characters have depth to them. More than I even thought. The story flowed along smoothly and drew me in. Overall it’s a easy read with suspense mixed in. I have read the Gray Ghost Series and this easily falls in line with those.

Moonlit Mirage by Amy McKinley was a really good novella! Super quick, easy read, it has the suspense, drama, slight mystery and romance that makes for a great classic. I read this book in a matter of a few hours, but it felt much longer by how I got pulled into the story and was experiencing everything that Cade and Nadia was experiencing. There was some surprising twists I didn’t expect, and it just made the story that much better. Great storyline and plot, and I loved the location chosen for the book! It doesn’t get much better when you have a great story set in the beautiful scenes of an island. This is story for all ages, and I highly recommend!

So after reading Covert Threat and the little snippet at the end about finding out what Hannah was up to I had to grab this book. This is kind of a part of The Gray Ghost series with a few of the characters crossing over, this was a super quick read that was full of all kinds of content, leaving out all the extra info that is normally a part of longer stories, yet still contained everything you expect when reading anything by this author. It jumped right in (lol you’ll understand why that was kinda funny when you read it) and had me on the edge of my seat right from the get go. Completely curious where this newer series will go, not sure if it will still be part of The Gray Ghost or what this author has in mind but I’m completely ready to find out because I love this all taking place in The Cook Islands, I could almost visualize everything that was mentioned in this story.
Loved it!
