From bestselling author Thea Harrison comes the first in an explosive new trilogy set in the Elder Races world....

Her past is a blank, her future uncertain....

Recovering from a shooting, LAPD witch consultant Sophie Ross leaves her job and travels to the U.K. to search for answers about her childhood. When she encounters a Daoine Sidhe knight of the Dark Court, she becomes entangled in an ancient hatred between two arcane forces.

He has given his body and soul to fight for his people....

Barred from his homeland along with his surviving brother knights, Nikolas Sevigny is embroiled in a conflict that threatens everything he holds dear. Only by uniting his people's resources can they hope to prevail against Isabeau, the deadly Queen of the Light Court. He will do anything and use anyone to return home to Lyonesse.

When Nikolas encounters Sophie, he sees a tool to be used. The insouciant witch might be the key to unlocking every passageway that has been barred to the knights of the Dark Court, even as a fascination for her takes root in what's left of his soul.

Sophie has no intention of becoming anyone's pawn, yet the fierce Nikolas is so compelling, she can't deny the temptation that endangers her guarded heart.

As magic threatens Lyonesse, Queen Isabeau unleashes her merciless Hounds, and Nikolas and Sophie become embroiled in a race for survival. Meanwhile, the passion that ignites between them burns too hot to be denied and quickly turns into obsession.

Thank goodness they both know better than to fall in love...

Praise for Moonshadow:

"Moonshadow is exactly what I expect of a Thea Harrison story, a stay-up-all-night read. Marvelous characters, lots of action and romance, and just the right touch of humor. This one goes on my keeper shelf. I loved this book."

~Patricia Briggsâ??#1 New York Times bestselling author of the Mercy Thompson series

"Moonshadow hits all the right checkmarks on my must-have paranormal romance list: an Alpha hero, a heroine who kicks butt, worldbuilding that just keeps getting better, and a steamy plot that pulls me in from the first page!"

~Carrie Ann Ryanâ??NYT Bestselling Author of Wolf Betrayed

"I loved this book. Moonshadow is Thea Harrison at her finest. I haven't been this excited since Dragon Bound!"

~Kristen Callihanâ??USA Today bestselling author

"...Harrison has vaulted to the top of the paranormal romance genre by showcasing her stunning storytelling ability."

Moonshadow is the first novel in the Moonshadow trilogy by Thea Harrison. The trilogy is part of the Elder Races world.

Plot:
After a shooting, witch consultant to the LAPD Sophie needs a break from her job and from the USA. She travels to the UK, hoping to uncover some family history and to use her magic to open a house that has stubbornly remained shut for a very long time. Should she manage to do it, her reward would be the title to the house and the surrounding land. Trouble starts before she ever even gets there and then she meets Nikolas. Only it isn't the first time they met - Nikolas has been appearing to her. And vice versa, apparently. Nikolas brings his own pack of problems and draws Sophie into a long war between the Dark Court and the Light Court.

Moonshadow is a good read, although it didn't completely blow me away. I liked it, but I don't know if the mood will really strike me to continue with the series or delve further into the world this is a spin-off from.

I felt like Ms. Harrison phoned this one in. She didn't try very hard. ( )

Sophie is part djinn but has been raised by witches. She has the opportunity to own her own estate in England if she can open the door to the manor house. Before going she casts her runes, and a man is in the vision and can see her also. When Sophie gets to England, she runs into the man from her vision, Nikolas. She also runs into hounds which were also in her vision. What does it all mean? Will she get the estate? Or will she be killed before she has the chance to try to open the door?

I enjoyed this story. I liked Sophie. She gets under Nikolas's skin so easily. I love the one-sided conversations she has in front of him. Nikolas is a little on edge, shall we say? He wants to know what Sophie knows about the hounds. He also wants to know why he saw her in her vision. He gets angry at her for constantly putting herself in the way of danger. I loved their dynamics. It was fun to see who would blink first.

The secondary characters were an interesting mix. I liked some of them. Some were just introduced, and we'll see them in future stories. I look forward to seeing them again. ( )

Not great, not terrible.
There were quite a few really interesting ideas in terms of world-building and the magic but the story was so dominated by the run-of-the-mill PnR that there just wasn't any space left to properly explore any of it.
And after finishing this one I am almost positive that the author won't do so in later volumes either.
It's not bad as a PnR, but that part is just unoriginal and clichéed. ( )

Sophie was pretty dope. She was so good at defending her boundaries and she was so funny and competent. Nikolas was autocratic but fiercely loyal and dedicated to his people. I totally got why they were so into each other. While I thought the romance moved pretty fast, I think Sophie's approach at the end was awesome. I am really looking forward to the rest of this series. ( )
