Blood And Moonlight Paperback
Blood And Moonlight Paperback
Our readers rate this: 1.5 peppers. Here’s why:
This is a YA fantasy romance driven by tension, secrets, and emotional connection rather than explicit spice. There is romance and intimacy, but it stays soft, closed-door, and focused on trust and longing. The heat lives in the danger, the mystery, and the pull between characters—not on the page.
✨ Expect:
-
Dark, atmospheric fantasy vibes
-
Slow-burn romantic tension
-
Emotional intimacy over physical spice
-
YA-appropriate romance (no explicit scenes)
-
Mystery, magic, and quiet yearning
🔥 Perfect for readers who want romance without heat, strong plot, and a slightly eerie, moonlit tone. If you like your love stories subtle and your fantasy rich with atmosphere, this earns its peppers gently.
📖 Book Description
In a kingdom where magic is outlawed, Selene has learned how to survive by hiding who she truly is. By day, she works quietly in the castle. By night, she hunts a killer who stalks the streets—one who leaves behind bodies drained of blood.
As Selene is drawn deeper into a web of secrets, forbidden magic, and royal intrigue, she must decide whom she can trust in a world where revealing the truth could cost her everything. With danger closing in and her heart pulled in unexpected directions, Selene faces a choice between the life she’s been hiding and the destiny she was never meant to escape.
Dark, romantic, and suspenseful, Blood & Moonlight is a tale of hidden power, quiet rebellion, and love that grows in the shadows.
