Luna Abigail starts off introducing us to Abigail-Stone Goldmoon, the firstborn (yet illegitimate child) of the Beta of her pack, Henrik Stone. Her mother was Mallory Goldmoon, a witch. Therefore, Abigail was a half-breed, being half werewolf and half witch.
Her father initially thought he was destined to be with Mallory, though things changed when his true mate was revealed to him. However, prior to this revelation, Mallory was already pregnant with Abigail.
Fast forward a bit and we eventually have Druella, Abigail’s stepmother and Henrik’s mate alongside her son, Simon who can be remarked as Abigail’s stepbrother. The stepfamily exchanged utmost animosity. As a child, Abigail was never allowed to play with any of the children since she was classified as a threat despite her looking and feeling like the rest of the pack.
Abigail would go to the end of her pack lands to meet her birth mother. This was Abigail’s sanctuary, the time she spent with her mother would prove to be beyond peaceful.
Her father supported these moments and took Abigail to the pack lands himself. However, these were the only peaceful moments Abigail had. Her stepmother, Druella, mistreated her at every chance, and even at school, Simon would torment her alongside the pack’s future Alpha, Daemon. Abigail eventually moved out of the pack house at 18, and into her grandmother’s cottage which she inherited. Her grandmother never really liked the stepfamily, and let Abigail have all of her inheritance to spite them (awesome grandma!).
Up until this point, the story was fairly enticing though the next few things changed the tone of the series as we know it and gave this indescribable depth to Abigail’s character and her motives.

Part 1: The Turning Point of the Series
Henrik approved of Abigail moving out simply because she was widely hated by them. It benefited her entirely if she were to move out and Henrik visited her weekly. The hatred of the pack towards Abigail was rooted within Alpha Fenrir’s past. His sister was killed by a dark witch, and so he hated every entity correlating to a witch, be it an innocent half-breed.
At 18, Abigail first shifted into her wolf. Galaxy was her name. She was surprisingly beautiful and powerful, as seen in most other werewolf stories starring female leads. On her birthday, Abigail sat with her mother on the pack border while having lunch and receiving training. Abigail, despite gaining her wolf, was still being trained in the art of magic.
On her birthday, however, her pack surrounded her while she was with her mother. Alpha Fenrir made remarks about Abigail, saying that even at 18 she had no wolf. This was the result of Galaxy concealing herself for Abigail’s sake. Right then and there, Mallory was executed by Alpha Fenrir while Abigail was forced to watch.
This was a real game-changer for the tone of the series, and it was made clear very early on. Sure, this isn’t a unique scene in the sense that it has been done countless times before, though its execution just clicked for me, and it will for you too.
With Abigail being spared with respect to her father’s position, she was then rejected as the mate of Daemon, the future Alpha. Abigail accepted this rejection wholeheartedly and confidently, though, in reality, both sides felt shattered.
Part 2: Main Theme of Luna Abigail
Luna Abigail explores numerous themes that really appeal to and relate to the reader. It will most definitely make you feel sad in its initial chapters, in sympathy for Abigail. However, while the story did revolve around pity and sorrow initially, it explores themes of empowerment. Abigail comes across as weak initially since she’s forced to accept the demises she experiences, though that is merely temporary.
Giving us a strong female lead, the story quickly removes this feeling of empathy we get, replacing it with a sensation that truly proliferates awe within the reader.
Giving Abigail a second chance, the story, the author plays with our hearts as the reader. As Abigail gets introduced to her second mate, we as the reader get so invested in this intricate and interesting story that everything around us feels rather hazy, honestly.
The story was written by a perfectionist, one who analyzed every element of the story and transformed it into something beautiful. Truly, Luna Abigail does what it wants to right.
Part 3: A Small GripeofLuna Abigail
Luna Abigail is a very enticing novel that you can find yourself enjoying with ease, however, there is one small issue with it that I could not help but point out.
The nature of the writing, and the writing quality itself are somewhat subpar. It isn’t horrendous by any means or even worse, though it does fall short of expectations at times and scenes that need it can’t be fleshed out to their fullest.
However, this is something that I have only felt a few times, and instead, I find myself appreciating the quality of writing on numerous occasions. Therefore, this is nothing that will take away from the experience.
Part 4: Conclusive Remarks
Luna Abigail is a must-read, by all means. It takes you on an adventure within its enticing story. The characters that get the most screen time are lovable beyond description. This is especially how I felt in the case of Abigail, her development and character writing in general is something that can only be described as beautiful.
Sure, mediocre writing may be a small factor that brings down the series though it isn’t much else. The novel overwhelms its shortcomings with a plethora of positives. The pacing is something commendable and every chapter leaves you wanting more due to the way they were designed. I implore you to read Luna Abigail, it’s amazing!
