Moonlit Mirage: A Cook Islands Romance (Moonlit Destination Series) by Amy McKinley – Review by Francis O’Sullivan

Moonlit Mirage – A Cook Islands Romance by Amy McKinley
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Moonlit Mirage is the first book in Amy McKinley’s Moonlit Destination series. It ties in with her Gray Ghost series, with a few background characters from the familiar team, but is shorter and contains less action. The focus is on romance and character development, in a book that can easily be read in one sitting.
Cade was the reason Nadia defected. The target she couldn’t leave to die. Nadia was Cade’s angel. The face he could never forget after she saved his life and disappeared. When chance brings them together years later, on a beautiful island that both have come to as an escape, neither can resist the chance to get to know each other properly. But Nadia’s past threatens to catch up with her, as she struggles to keep secrets from Cade.
This is a captivating book. All through I was desperate to find out why Nadia had saved Cade, and why he was targeted in the first place. Although short, there were plenty of interesting details like Nadia’s efforts to increase the time she could hold her breath underwater, which added depth to the story.
For me, this is a four-star read. I’d recommend it to fans of the Gray Ghost series, and if you haven’t read the series yet this would be a great way to get a taste of McKinley’s writing style.
