He was the boy they told her never existed.
Now he's the man who might shatter everything.
Autumn Sterling knows more than she'd like to about pain and survival. As one of only a handful of children who made it to adulthood after being exposed to a horrific drug that swept impoverished communities decades earlier, Autumn is focused on living a full, rich life as a nurse.
And yet, she can't seem to let go of him: the boy she once called her moonlight monster. The boy they tried to convince her was merely a dream brought on by her medications. But how could he be anything but real when she touched him, felt him, made him laugh? When she woke with tangible signs of him still on her skin?
Years later, when Autumn spots that same moonlit hair on a busy city street, her new life turns upside down. The boy, now a man, has suffered on a level even Autumn can't imagine. And it is this anguished soul - Sam, her moonlight monster - who is the link to every question about her past that's ever haunted her.
As a murky picture of cruelty and corruption emerges, it's only Sam who can fully expose an evil too ghastly to comprehend . . . and it's only Autumn he'll let close enough to his dark and wounded heart to see the truth.

•Deutsche Rezension• "Desire isn't weakness, Sam," she said, leaning forward and kissing his skin. He shuddered, and it ended in a sigh. "Yearning is human. And you're human." "I don't know. All I know is that if desire is weakness, then I'm weak. My desire for you goes on and on. It has no end," he finished quietly.

Es gab ein Wiedersehen mit Mark, Jak und Harper und ihrer kleinen Familie. Herrlich. Aber der Weg dahin war unschön. Autumn und Sam sind beide, wie Jak, Opfer eines Programms geworden, das Kinder von Drogensüchtigen "einzogen" hat, um an ihnen zu experimentieren. Unter anderem Autumn, die mit Medikamenten vollgepumpt wurde. Sam, indem man Knochen durch Metall austauschte, damit er zu einer Art menschlicher Waffe wird. Die beiden sind unglaublich starke Charaktere, die einem auf viele Arten zeigen, was sie drauf haben und sich nie wirklich unterkriegen lassen, obwohl die Last der langsam auftauchenden Wahrheiten alles andere als leicht ist. Während Autumn irhendwann aus dem Programm entlassen wurde, hat man Sam dagegen verbannt, um sich selbst...na ja. Und die Beziehung der beiden 🫠 Sam sieht sich selbst als unwürdig, was Liebe angeht. Man hat ihm der Gehirnwäsche unterzogen. In seiner Welt bedeutet Zuneigung Schwäche. Und dennoch fühlt er viel für Autumn, die schon damals das Licht in seiner Dunkelheit war. Autumn versucht Sam zu zeigen, dass auch er ein Mensch ist. Spannung gibt es natürlich auch. Spice und Smut ebenfalls, aber es ist sehr gefühlvoll geschrieben und sanft. Ich respektiere die Autorin sehr für diese Dilogie. Es gab echt harte Themen. Allein, was Kindern alles angetan wurde, nur, um ihren Fantasien freien Lauf zu lassen. Wer mit Gewalt gegen Kinder, Amokläufen, Suizid, Mord und sowas in die Richtung nicht klar kommt, dem empfehle ich nicht, das Buch zu lesen. Es geht einem (mir zumindest) an die Nieren.
Unusual and unexpected Mia flop
Usually I’m always excited to read one of Mia‘s books cause I’m a sucker for her slow burn romances. Therefore I was very excited to pick up Unnatural after I literally devoured Unwanted. Unfortunately I was very disappointed in the sequel. The main characters didn’t have any real depth and chemistry compared to Jak and Harper. I found myself groaning at Autumns inner thoughts, finding them repetitive and quite frankly annoying. They didn’t give any insights other than her favourite words „Oh“ and „Sam“. The story was also meh. There was great potential but it fell flat. Mia isn’t known for her plot twist and brilliant detective writing but that was half assed, even for her. Especially that last minute „conflict“ and solution. Lastly I want to say the ending was absolute rubbish. I know her books tend to end the same way, all happy ever after with a family but you cannot convince me of this one. That’s simply just lazy writing. This one was a stretch that didn’t feel like her.
