About this listen

From award-winning bestseller Laura Purcell comes her YA debut, MOONSTONE.

'Brilliant and beautiful, Moonstone is the gothic werewolf love story we've all been waiting for. Easily one of my favourite books of the year!' JJA Harwood, author of The Thorns Remain

Don’t misbehave. Beware the moon. And never go out after dark …

Following a scandal at the Vauxhall pleasure gardens, Camille is sent to the woods to live with her reclusive godmother and her strange daughter, Lucy. Cast out from polite society, she must learn to live by her godmother’s strict rules.

Camille has never met anyone quite like Lucy before, and as they grow closer and cross forbidden boundaries, strange things begin to happen. Mysterious deaths, claw marks raking the doors, and the nights are pierced by the howls of a creature that sounds almost … otherworldly.

Should Camille be more afraid of what’s hiding in the woods – or her own heart?

From the award-winning, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Silent Companions, Moonstone is a haunting gothic romance with real bite.

I am a huge fan so I love all her books but I think this is my favourite. Camille is a wonderful character.

Some people will no doubt love this book, but sadly I found the heroine quite irritating and obtuse. I’ve loved all of Laura’s previous novels and had high hopes for this, but found it painfully slow in places. I didn’t really care what happened to Camille by the end. I don’t think suspense works when everyone (including the reader) has a pretty good sense of what is going on before the main character. It just becomes boring waiting for the denouement and inevitable fallout/conclusion. I don’t think I’ll be reading any of the sequels.

Solid but ultimately not a patch on earlier work

I loved the twists and turns of this novel and loved the youthful romance and the wildness of women.
