YMMV / Daughters of the Moon

• Breakout Character: Technically Kyle from The Prophecy, as he's one of the main characters in the Sons Of The Dark series.
• Die for Our Ship: Michael for some. There's actually quite a few fans who enjoy the brief Vanessa/Stanton pairing from Goddess of the Night.
  • Serena can sometimes get this as well from Stanton/Vanessa shippers.
• Fanon: Many like to interpret Zahi as a follower who was born and became one centuries ago, despite his age never being mentioned. Due to his French/Arabic background, its popular to interpret him being born during the crusades.
• Hilarious in Hindsight:
  • In The Becoming, Catty is described wearing a sweater that has a skull wearing a bow on the front.
  • Considering the reputation fedoras would get in later years, it can be funny to see one being worn by Ethan.
  • One of the "cheesy" things Aura makes Serena wear while possessing her body is exaggerated winged eyeliner, which has since come back into style.
• Ho Yay: A few examples throughout the series:
  • In Goddess of the Night there's a scene where Vanessa and Catty sleep in the same bed and have an emotional talk about how much each other means to them.
  • When Vanessa first encounters and tries to avoid the followers at Planet Bang, Cassandra begs her to dance with them while sensually rubbing against her.
  • Jimena tells Serena in Possession she considered her life a nightmare before she met her.
• Narm: Hector's introduction in Moon Demon is pretty good, but it's kind of undermined when his described outfit makes it sound like he just walked off the set of a Roy Rogers movie.
• Poorly Disguised Pilot: The Prophecy could be seen as this, as it sets up the Sons Of The Dark series.
• Same Story, Different Names: Lynne Ewing's later series Sisters of Isis can be this for some as the plot is generally the same as DOTM, except the location is swapped from Los Angles to Washington D.C and is based on Egyptian Mythology instead of Greek.
• Squick: The Atrox's plan with Tianna, had Selene not stolen her away. Although she was created by the Atrox, Tianna didn't start out as a fully grown adult. She remembers being a child and growing up to her current age. So if Selene hadn't saved her, the Atrox would have created an infant whom he would have raised until it was of the age where he could marry and impregnate them.
• Took a Level in Jerkass:
  • Collin comes off as this a couple of time during Into the Cold Fire:
    • When Morgan tells him how unpopular and jealous of her Serena is, Collin doesn't stick up for Serena and looks at her as though she's disappointed him.
    • He also gets on her case a couple of times about how she should get a boyfriend (because Morgan told him she needed one). But when he finds her getting close with Zahi at Planet Bang, he he acts very confrontational towards him.
  • The Daughters can come off a bit as this in Moon Demon to Vanessa.
• Trailers Always Spoil: The excerpt for The Choice in the back of the previous book gives away the misunderstanding behind the Jimena-Colin breakup.
• What Happened to the Mouse?:
  • Cassandra is introduced as a major follower in the early books, but never appears again after book 5. Possibly justified due to her losing her powers and status after displeasing the Atrox.
  • At the end of Possession, Aura's spirit is not defeated and flies away before the Daughters can do anything. She never shows up again.
  • At the end of time in Greece, Maggie is pregnant and thinks that her child will be one day part of the struggles between the Daughters and the Atrox. Her child is never mentioned again or introduced in the series.
  • In a similar vein to the example above, Maggie's sister, Taemestra, is a follower by the end of the book. She also never appears again.
• Willing Suspension of Disbelief: Happens occasionally in story. Despite the fact that the main cast is a group of super-powered moon goddesses fighting an ancient evil, there are quite a few time where something unusual happens and the gang is quick to brush it off as something ordinary and deny that it could be the Atrox at work. 99.9% of the time, it usually is.
