The Moon in Her Eyes is a stand-alone novel by Nikki Broadwell. This is my second novel by this author.
On her 18th birthday, Emeline take her place among her fellow witches including her Grandfather.
With the ability to travel through time, Emeline must prove her innocence when she is blamed for everything going wrong in the lives of tribe Wampanoag tribe in the year 1694. But there is more to her than even she knows.
I don’t read witches stories very much. I am very selective with the ones I do read but I really enjoyed this one.
The plot of time travel and Emeline trying to get the attention of the boy of she loves to remember was really interesting.
I highly recommend this novel.
The Moon in Her Eyes: a witch’s tale
By Nikki Broadwell
I was sucked into this magical fantasy as soon as I started reading. This is a fast paced book with a lot of action, drama, romance, and time travel. Emeline is trying to figure out why the timeline is askew, and if she’s the cause. Will she be able to make things right? The author did an amazing job, with so much going on in the story it wasn’t confusing or erratic. Her story telling and world building made this an exceptional read for me. I was on the edge of me seat for most of the time. I loved the characters in this story, they are very well developed. This book is the second book but can be read as a standalone without feeling like you have missed out on anything. I truly enjoyed the journey this story took me on. I highly recommend this book.
The Moon In Her Eyes: a witch’s tale by Nikki Broadwell. This is one of the few Fantasy books I’ve read and at the beginning I wasn’t sure I would like it but it sucked me in right until the very end. Is about a witch named Emeline in 1694 who lives among the Wampanoag Tribe. She is happiest here with her husband the love of her life. When circumstances cause her to have to time travel it messes everything up including her love life. She spends most of the book trying to find the answers to fix everything that was messed up with the time travel. When the timelines get all mixed up it makes everything go crazy. Can Emeline fix the mess she’s made and does she know who she can trust to help her. This book will keep you turning the pages wanting to see what happens. I will read more of these books!
First off, this is the second book in the series and I read this one first. I don’t feel like I was missing out on any information that was super important to the plot of this book but I normally suggest reading a series in order.
The first chapter threw me for a loop because you are thrown right into some sort of ritual and the chapter ends abruptly with the next one starting by letting you know what specific year it is. I spent a minute trying to figure out if that had any bearing on what I had just read and why that wasn’t also put at the beginning of the book. Dialogue got a bit messy and confusing in chapter two and usually this would be enough to turn me off of a book but I could already tell this was my kind of story.
The main character, Emeline, is a time traveling witch. She is living in 1694 when she gets a surprising visit from her sister, Jean, who lives in the modern age. Jean tries to convince Emeline to come back with her but little bits of what she is say don’t match up with her sister’s memories. I think about this kind of ramification of time travel all the time so I IMMEDIATELY latched on to this, ready for anything.
There were one or two bits that I couldn’t suspend my disbelief for (like a 16 year old living through the 2010’s and having no idea what sex is) but for the most part I really enjoyed reading this book and will absolutely be picking up the first book in the series.
The Moon in her eyes is the first book I have read by Nikki Broadwell, but it is the second in the series. I was a little lost at the beginning as I didn’t know the character or the situation, however that lost feeling quickly went away as I joined Emeline on an incredible adventure through time. Reading about a time traveling witch, is something new to me, but something I certainly enjoyed reading.
This was an easy to read book with some characters that were helpful to Emeline and some that I wished she had used her magic on. I enjoyed reading this story so much that I plan to get book one, A Witch in Time Saves Nine. There are references to that story in The Moon so I have a good idea what happens there, but since the writing style and story line is so intriguing I can’t wait to read more! I recommend reading this series in order!
The Moon In Her Eyes by Nikki Broadwell, A Witches Tale Book Two
5-stars
Such an excellent novel full of excitement and time travel. I loved following main character Em as she traveled through time attempting to correct history and put an end to different tasks. At no point did I feel bored with this novel. I found the different time lines and possible futures fascinating and at times a bit scary. I highly recommend this book.
The Moon in Her Eyes: A Witch’s Tale is a paranormal romance, thriller, suspenseful drama by Nikki Broadwell. A fantasy brought to life, Emaline is a quirky time travelling witch who embarks on many adventures, providing endless action and intrigue.
This author keeps a reader on their toes, and I never knew what to expect next. Having read this authors work before, it was truly eventful and eye opening. Lines are blurred. Past from reality. I was constantly surprised and brazenly glued to the pages.
I loved reading about Emaline’s adventures that never once lacked excitement and constantly gave more with each chapter. 4 stars
The Moon in Her Eyes by Nikki Broadwell a fabulous four-star read. I have read this author previously and thoroughly enjoyed her work so was so excited to get my hands on this, I must admit I didn’t realise this was book two, and I will go back and read book one, but I didn’t feel like I missed anything, the story was full and detailed. The story is fast paced and the plot was detailed but not overly flowery, you felt like part of the story and your heart would race as you get so sucked into the story you can’t put it down.

Nikki Broadwell’s writing pulls you in from the first page right through to the last page. It is engaging, flows and descriptive–that you feel like you are right there with the characters. The characters are well developed, strong and very believable. I definitely recommend The Moon in Her Eyes!
The Moon in Her Eyes: A Witches Tale by Nikki Broadwell is a unique and interesting story of a witch whole travels through time and the consequences she faces from doing so.
This book is part of a series although the books do not have to be read in order. But it is a bit unclear from the titles that this is the case.
This book is absolutely incredible. I knew from the description that I would be taken on such a journey but I could not have imagined just what that journey would consist of. The story was rich and detailed, making it so easy to envisage what was happening. The characters were creative and relatable, which is impressive when the author is writing about a witch from the 1600’s!!
This author thoroughly grabs your attention and holds you captive all the way through the book. She sets the pace well and develops the story with ease. This is a brilliant book and one I would highly recommend.
A great read about time. Emeline Chase is a witch who can travel through time. Her travels end her up in the 1620s to live with a native American tribe and fall in love with its leader, Samoset. But her abilities cause trouble and mess with time, altering events she knew . With the help of a coven, can she fix it before it’s too late?
A great read. Well developed plot. Well developed characters like Emeline trusting her abilities while struggling with her feelings or Samoset trying to protect his people despite his feelings
I loved the visual detail throughout the novel in the sense of nature with the forests in the past full of colour and animals.
And the scenes with the fountain under the moon were perfectly written with a.sense of awe and wonder Or the magical and friendly sense of the coven house with the stars was a lovely touch
The only issue I would raise is that it was sometimes hard to follow to which timeline the narrative was taking place . Perhaps a switch of perspective on Samoset or chapters with timeline names on could make this clearer. Overall, a great read and I would give it four stars .
The Moon In Her Eyes is the second book in the Witch series. It isn’t specifically a cliffhanger, as the main story has a conclusion, but it does leave the story open to continue.
I really wanted to love this book, but the political aspects of it were not woven into the story in a way that made it flow. It came across as a soapbox rather than a story enhancement. The time travel and paranormal aspects were overshadowed by the challenge I had weeding through the politics.
I did like the historical aspects and the weaving of the time travel piece. And there were a pretty good variety of characters to get to know.
Paranormal – check.
Fantasy – check.
Romance – check.
Time travel – check.
This book grabbed my attention immediately. Although the second book in the series, I jumped in without having read the first and didn’t feel like I was at a disadvantage. The storyline was fascinating. The characters were well developed. The storyline was rich in detail. Really enjoyed this book and look forward to going back to read the first in the series.
The Moon in Her Eyes Book Two A Witch’s Tale by Nikki Broadwell
Four Stars
This story was a little confusing. I got lost a lot and had to go back and reread some parts. I did enjoy the story. It was a different direction than most books take. Usually the lead has all this power and stops the bad guy. In this story Em has some powers but doesn’t know how to use them. She isn’t really on board to defeat the bad guy until her man gets involved. I am still not too sure about Helga. She doesn’t vibe right to me. The plot isn’t explained at all doing the book. I’m still trying to figure out what lead to Lourie being this way and why is she after Em. It’s an interesting read with the time traveling and magic.
The Moon in Her Eyes: a witch’s tale by Nikki Broadwell is a fantasy and is full of magic and witches both good and evil. The characters were likeable and the story was set over a lot of different time zones and was a bit hard to keep track of it all. The overall theme of time travel and plot were interesting and I became engrossed in the story because I had to know how it ended. It is not my favourite by Nikki but I was intrigued. At times the main character annoyed me and I wanted to smack her but I had to remember she really was a young adult.
Overall it is a good story that should be added to your to read pile. Enjoy.
Nikki Broadwell has a great handle on all of the subject matters she writes about and this one is no different. This would be considered a thriller, fantasy, magical genre book. The Moon in Her Eyes: a witch’s tale is a great story with vivid scenery and characters. This is the second book and can be a stand-alone story. I did not read the first story A Witch in Time Saves Nine (I am going to reading this book next). This is not my first Nikki Broadwell book and it will not be my last one. Broadwell sets the entire book up as though you are right in the middle of the action. Personally I find myself relating to her characters. Emeline, female main character, is a time traveling witch who can get into trouble if she is not careful. The story does shifts between past and present time (for the story) which could be a bit confusing. Emeline is trying to figure out her destiny, but is going about it all wrong. Will Emeline figure out what is going on so she doesn’t taper too much of the time line?
I give The Moon in Her Eyes: a witch’s tale by Nikki Broadwell, 4 stars.
Emeline is a witch that can time travel, among other things. She is happiest living in 1694 among her Indian tribe with her husband. But when circumstances arrive, she finds she must leave. Travelling make to current times, she finally meets more witches and learns more about just what she can do. But there is so much more going on than just her troubles. The timelines are being altered. Who is doing this and why? Will she be able to get back to the husband she loves?
I would describe this as a fantasy time travel book. There is much just back and forth in time and places. There is quite a bit going on in this story. There is danger every where Emeline looks. She and her friends are trying to make things right again. But there are others opposed to this. And just who can she trust? I have never read anything like this before and while it was a little difficult for me to follow at first because I am new to time travel books, I quickly fell into the story and was right there beside her. She had to make extremely difficult decisions, but it shows her humanity.
I quite enjoyed this book and happily recommend it.
The Moon In Her Eyes by Nikki Broadwell
5 Stars!!!!!
I really like paranormal stories and when you add the added bonus of time travel well who could ask for anything more? The author has such a refreshing world that she has created. The story line is unique and the story just grabs you
and keeps you glued to the pages.
I really felt myself connected with Emeline. The way she built her life with Samoset and his people really adds to the story. I really liked how she is able to time travel and the drama that is played out in the book as she fights to put the future straight really keep you enticed. This book is such an addicting read and I will most certainly be reading it again as well as more books from this author.
5 Stars
The Moon in Her Eyes: A Witch’s Tale by Nikki Broadwell is a wonderful paranormal mystery, with romance, fantasy, magic, time travel, drama, and adventure.
This is a standalone story, but not the first book with Emeline, the main character. Emeline is a time travelling witch who started her adventures in “A Witch in Time Saves Nine”, when she transports back in time, only to discover that she really has no control over when she travels, or where she ends up. This becomes quite a terrifying ordeal for her- but she figures she must be there for a reason, but any small changes she makes seems to have a flow on effect on the future, throwing everything out of whack. This story sees Emeline searching for the answers to putting things right, but the craziness seems to have no end. With things seeming to spiral out of control, Emeline is being blamed for all the terrible things that are happening. There is a lot at stake, including matters of the heart, and Emeline will need to work it all out and discover a way to set things right, before it’s too late.
I love how Ms. Broadwell’s stories are always so original- infusing each one with her unique style and ‘feel’. I also enjoy how her stories include American Indian people, culture, and/or mythology as part of her storylines- for example here in Emeline’s stories we meet the Wampanoag people. I find this to be very creative and imaginative- and I also love how the magic and time travel was woven into the story. Ms. Broadwell creates vivid, fully realised, and believable world/s (times) in which she set her story. This plot switches back and forth from in time(s), as the whole story plays out. But, these transitions are quite smooth and seamless. Ms. Broadwell also includes some political and social issues which gives this story some added interest.
The whole story has an “Outlander” x “Sliding Doors” feel to it, but with it’s own unique identity.
An enjoyable and engaging read.
Thank you, Ms. Broadwell!
The Moon in Her Eyes: A witch’s tale by Nikki Broadwell was an fast pace, time jumping, magical read that is more relevant then you want to believe.
My first read by this author and for this series, I didn’t know there was a book one, as they are not titles as so in the system. But no worries this read more like a stand alone and I never felt like I was missing anything nor was I confused. But in saying that, I will be going back a checking out that first book.
Wow, there are many things I can say about this book, but I want to start with, wow. Before I get into the plot, let me tell you that this book is written expertally well, as I said, if I didn’t look more into this author then I wouldn’t have known there was a first book, that is how great this one is written. The character development is top notch and the detail is rich and engaging. The back and forth between timelines could have been disastrous, but, it was smooth unconfusing and easy to keep track of. That alone sets this book apart.
The plot is well crafted, and as I said has relevant points and a little connecting to our world today. It was a little shocking and, again wow. I was captured right away by this book, and frankly I didn’t want to stop reading. This book is a must read and I highly suggest you get your hands on it.
So please take my super high recommendation and my stamp of approval, that you will get sucked into this magical world, that will show you things you didn’t think were possible.
Happy Reading
