Elli Morgan
GENRE: Paranormal Romance
BLURB:
After they took everything from him, Dave Patton dedicated his life to hunting vampires. But he can’t bring himself to destroy their newest vampire prisoner Sarah—a young woman with a tragic past, who awakens forbidden desires in him.
Sarah McAllister spent her childhood in the hands of ruthless vampires aiming to turn her into a perfect soldier. To take revenge, she hides her true strength and surrenders to a group of hunters, hoping her knowledge will help them bring all monsters to justice.
When the hunters’ compound is attacked, Sarah has to reveal her powers to protect them from certain death. How will Dave react when he learns the truth? And how much will she have to sacrifice to defeat her tormentors?
Excerpt:
Giving in to the urge to feed, turning into the beast her kind expected her to be, and betraying the little girl she once was would be so much easier.
A light breeze carried the hunter’s heady scent to Sarah as she leaned against a majestic walnut tree on this moonless night. She clenched her fists as a shudder ran through her, and every cell inside her body ached for his sweet blood.
After years of suffering at the hands of monsters, she’d mastered the art of renouncing her cravings. Pressing her body against the tree, she concentrated on the coarse bark rubbing against her skin. She could not suppress the abominable hunger forever, but her determination combined with the sensory distraction granted her control of her urges for a little while longer. Would it last long enough to talk to him and set her plan in motion?
The hunter—a young, muscular man with short, chestnut-brown hair and light stubble on his chiseled face—browsed through his phone, painfully unaware of the vampire watching him. And not for the first time. She’d followed him and his team for five days, studying their tactics and abilities from the shadows. They showed promise, although their approach of posing as bait often put them at risk. With a little help from her, they’d rid the world of even more monsters.
She could have picked any group of hunters, but something about the leader of this team enthralled her. His dark eyes held the same sadness and longing she often glimpsed in the mirror. If only she could talk to him about her intentions, but hunters never listened.
She inhaled deeply. Would he pass her test and prove they were more than easy prey?
Her ankle boots echoed on the pavement of the quiet, suburban neighborhood as she approached him from behind. The clacking reminded her of her mother, strutting through the world like she owned it…as if the monsters in the dark didn’t exist.
My Review:
The Shadowed Moon by Elli Morgan tells the tale of a vampire hunter and the vampire he captures. The Shadow Moon is unlike any vampire story I have read before. Elli Morgan put a lot of thought into writing The Shadow Moon, especially the vampires.
I was amazed and awed by the twist on the vampires. I loved it so very much. I would love to read more about Sarah and Dave in future books.
The world-building in The Shadowed Moon was fantastic. I loved reading The Shadowed Moon very much and can’t give it the praise it deserves as it surely deserves a higher rating than five stars.
The vampires captured Sarah when she was just a child. The vampires killed everyone in her family. They kept Sarah locked up along with others training them how to fight.
When she had been with the vampires for a few years they turned her into a vampire. Sarah never wanted to be a vampire and rebelled against them by escaping.
After her escape, Sarah was captured by vampire hunters who also kept her locked up in a cage. Sarah wanted to help the hunters as much as she could and as much as they would allow.
Sarah wanted to fight against her own kind. Sarah wanted to make the vampires pay for what they did to her family and what they did to her while she was their prisoner.
