A Celebration of A Great Read!

February 10, 2014 By Mary Hill 13 Comments

By Mary Hill

I completed Moonless this week and enjoyed it. The story kept me “swiping.” I loved it and recommend it for young adult readers and up. It may start slow, but the reader who stays with it will be rewarded with a pulse racing story. The best part is the love of two people who have a magical relationship that has left a lifetime.  

Alexia has to overcome a very closed society and take risks that threaten her life to find true love and find the purpose for her future. You will not want to miss the book, Moonless!

When Crystal recently announced the great news that her book is moving from electronic copy to hardcover and she intended to celebrate with a Blogfest, I signed on. I had purchased the electronic copy and was in the middle of reading it. 



In the English society of 1768 where women are bred to marry, unattractive Alexia, just sixteen, believes she will end up alone. But on the county doorstep of a neighbor’s estate, she meets a man straight out of her nightmares, one whose blue eyes threaten to consume her whole world—especially when she discovers him standing over her murdered host in the middle of the night.

Her nightmares become reality: a dead baron, red-eyed wraiths, and forbidden love with a man hunted by these creatures. After an attack close to home, Alexia realizes she cannot keep one foot in her old life and one in this new world. To protect her family she must either be sold into a loveless marriage, or escape with her beloved and risk becoming one of the Soulless.



Now with the blog hop, you have a chance to buy a hardcopy of the book with this promo:

Book link: https://www.createspace.com/4550104

Coupon code for $2 off: LQJM3F84
The code is good til Friday.

So here’s the special hop question: If you lived in a society where arranged marriages were a la mode, whom would you beg your parents to set you up with? Why? (Literary characters and celebrities welcomed.) 

I know I might sound a little funny, but I would have my parents hook me up with …. my husband. When I met him, I fell in love with him. To join the spirit of the hop, I will say my husband reminds me of Noah Calhoun, the hero from Nicholas’ Sparks book, The Notebook. He is also a gentleman with a gentle spirit who loves deep and sweet.

Join in the comments. Who would you want your parents to connect you with?

    The Notebook is one of the few Nicholas Sparks books I read. I agree, Noah is a good character to have as a husband. Good review, thanks for sharing it.

    When I see you guys pick your husbands I start to feel guilty.
    I’m over it now but I felt guilty for like a whole minute.

    Thanks for sharing.
