#BookReview: Blood and Moonlight (Blood and Moonlight, #1) by Erin Beaty




Perfect for fans of Kerri Maniscalco, Mary E. Pearson, and Criminal Minds, a young woman with dangerous magical abilities teams up with a handsome detective to hunt down an elusive serial killer in this thrilling dark fantasy. 

When orphan Catrin witnesses a murder on the streets of Collis, she’s pulled into a deadly chain of events where the only certainty is that the killer will strike again. Assigned to investigate is the mysterious and brilliant Simon, whose insights into the mind of a predator are frighteningly accurate.

As the grisly crimes continue, Catrin finds herself caught between killer and detective while hiding her own secret―forbidden magic granted by moonlight that’s destined to make her an outcast. But her newfound power might be the only thing that can save her and those she loves from becoming the murderer’s next victims . . .

Full of slow burn romance, unexpected twists, and electrifying suspense, Erin Beaty’s 
Blood and Moonlight kicks off a captivating new duology set in a world of moonlit magic and mystery.

Don’t miss the epic conclusion to Catrin and Simon’s story in 
Silence and Shadow.








REVIEW
I was beyond excited for this book, especially after winning a copy—I couldn’t wait to dive in! Unfortunately, my enthusiasm quickly faded once I started reading. The pacing was painfully slow, making it difficult to stay engaged, and the excessive info-dumping felt forced and out of place. Instead of immersing me in the world, it left me feeling disconnected and overwhelmed. To make matters worse, I struggled to connect with the characters, which made it hard to invest in the story at all. Sadly, this one just didn’t work for me.
