All my life, death was right around the corner. I just never expected it to be delivered by the man I was falling in love with…

Magic has been outlawed for almost a century, and anyone caught wielding it or bearing its mark is executed. Which is why I know every day could be my last.

I'm marked for death. My skin bears the branding of the moon. I just thank the stars that it's not somewhere visible.

For one night, I willingly put myself in danger, picking a stranger to lose myself in before I begin my life of servitude to the crown as a member of the King's Guard. But the man I thought was a stranger turns out to be the Blade of the King, Thorn, my new boss.

It doesn't matter that he's temptation incarnate or that the slightest flick of his fingers against my skin brings back echoes of the night we spent in each other's arms. We can never be together again because I can't risk losing this job, and I definitely can't risk him finding out my secret.

Not everything in the Eaorin Kingdom is as it seems, though, and my boss has secrets too. Ones that are just as deadly as my own…

The first book in a new fantasy romance series, Marked by the Moon is filled with steamy enemies-to-lovers romance, mystery, a heroine who will fight for everything she has, and a hero who might just be a villain. For fans of Elisa Kova, Sylvia Mercedes, and LJ Andrews, this thrilling forbidden love romance will keep you entranced until the very last word!

This book had me completely captivated from the first page to the last. The world building, the characters, and the angst. It's all just perfection. I can't wait for the next book.

This could've been 2 hours shorter. Way too much POV and in the FMC's head for long lengths which wasn't necessary. Easy to figure out what would happen. I wouldn't say it's enemies to lovers because that's how they start. the MMC is in this so briefly. He was great in the witch walker, but not this.

Easy to follow / typical romantasy

Too short, bad. Thorne is stupid, pacing off. Not a single likeable person in entire kingdom?? Come on

Adequate

I nearly threw in the towel at the 3/4 mark, but I pushed through and now I am intrigued enough to read the next book in the series.

A dark horse.
