Of Shadow and Moonlight

A woman fated to die young, a man cursed to live forever, and darkness that threatens to destroy everything they love

Take a story inspired by Black Dagger Brotherhood’s vampires, add a dash of a modern twist on A Court of Thorns and Roses/Throne of Glass and a splash of Greek mythology and you get Of Shadow and Moonlight. Vampires, Monsters, Greek Mythology, Gods, Magic, and more!

Cassie was never able to experience the life that many take for granted, the freedom to dictate her own journey. No, her life had been spent sheltered, protected from an inevitable fate that would come for her regardless of what anyone could do.

After her medical condition goes downhill, she is left with a few years of breath in her lungs and a choice: die alone, without ever experiencing what it truly means to feel alive and free; or to find that light, that missing puzzle piece, that feeling of not feeling so alone in her final days.

When Damien appears in her life, her world turns upside down when he shows her the hidden magic that lies in the shadows of her world and within herself. Suddenly plunged into a hidden war that has raged for countless centuries between gods and monsters, Cassie begins to feel the weight of her secret, which she has kept hidden all her life.

Cassie must embrace the tragic, dark history that runs through the blood in her veins or risk her world falling into darkness.

Though it took me a minute to get into the story, once I was there I was hooked! Her world building had me really imagining where the characters were and what their personalities were like. This novel is a vampire story that takes a spin of its own. I love the elements that were included into the novel like mythology. This book is a MUST read for anyone who is into fantasy, romance, and morally grey male characters. It will keep you on the edge of your seat waiting for more.

I don’t even know where to begin! This was an epic read that I couldn’t put down and desperately can’t wait for book 2. When Luna said there was vampires and mythology, I was instantly hooked but I wasn’t prepared for all those twists and turns thrown at me. I found myself not wanting to be an “adult” just so I can finish reading. Not only was this book a modern twist of ACOTAR but it definitely gave me Shadowhunter vibes for some strange reason.

Of Shadow and Moonlight is the first modern “real life” based fantasy book that I have read and ENJOYED in more years than I can count and when I say I NEED book 2, I literally mean NEED… Book 1 left me with a list of burning questions, a reading hangover, and an emotional state that needs more OSAM to ease both the heart wrenching and heart-soaring affects of the novel.
