About this listen

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!

Terrible male narration

The storyline was ok,the internal monologue was drawling going in to every single detail got quite repetitive.
The male narration and female impersonation of the males were…ick was quite jarring. It was difficult to hold the attraction to the male with the voice and impersonation.
I’d probably have found it more enjoyable reading it rather than listening.

Good but not sure if I will continue the series

I liked the story, a few plot holes and strange character development but I’m guessing the author had plans for the story to go further in the future. I found the FMC internal monologue a little too repetitive which got annoying for me. Great Narrators although I really do wish authors would invest in duet style narration, men reading woman’s parts in particular is just cringy sometimes. Overall I liked how the ending draws me in to continue listening and learn more about the characters and the created world but I really don’t think I want to waste a credit on the next installment as it’s half as long as this one and if most of it is repetitive FMC monologue I’m not sure if I will sadly.

Marked By The Moon

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.
