Synopsis
Shea Harper is forced to stay in boring, hot and dry Phoenix, Arizona for college. But once she meets the enigmatic yet positively egocentric Lucian, Shea’s life changes forever.She finds out that she comes from a long line of descendants called Vessels. In her soul is the key to destroying an ancient prison protecting the world from darkness itself: Lucian’s father.
Up until now, Lucian has captured every descendant except Shea. With her powers awakening, all vampires want to drag her down to the pit. But Lucian is territorial. She’s the first female Vessel… and he’s convinced she belongs to him.
Saucy and tauntingly surprising, Black Moon captures the struggle between burning desire or denying the heart. This is a love story that will drain you dry.

My Review:
This book is part vampire, and part angel. There is so much more to this story though. Shea has a neighbor and best friend, Aidan. They were born on the same day, at the same minute, and at the same second. Those kinds of details are what I really enjoyed about this book. I am not quite sure what author wrote what, and I think that is a compliment. I did not notice any "bumps" in the story, and the authors wove their words together very nicely. Lucian was a character that I would have like more background on. I hope that book 2 tells us more about his past. The end of the book was not a cliffhanger, but I suspect that this will become a series. I also liked the famous characters from the past, especially Egypt. I am giving this book a 5/5. I was given a copy to review, however all opinions are my own.
