My Teasers:

Review: Moonless by Crystal Collier

Moonless is Jane Eyre meets Supernatural.

In the English society of 1768 where women are bred to marry, unattractive Alexia, just sixteen, believes she will end up alone. But on the county doorstep of a neighbor’s estate, she meets a man straight out of her nightmares, one whose blue eyes threaten to consume her whole world—especially later when she discovers him standing over her murdered host in the middle of the night.

Among the many things to change for her that evening are: her physical appearance—from ghastly to breathtaking, an epidemic of night terrors predicting the future, and the blue-eyed man’s unexpected infusion into her life. Not only do his appearances precede tragedies, but they are echoed by the arrival of ravenous, black-robed wraiths on moonless nights.

My thoughts:
I'm a little late about this review, but at least I'm getting to it :)

I first saw this movie when it came out in the movie theaters. I was very much impressed with this film versus the first one. I was mostly stunned on how better everything looked. I recently watched it again for the second time and I was able to concentrate more on how the movie compared to the book.
