How would your life change if you inherited a vampire?

“Find me, Sarah…”

When a handsome stranger whispers these three little words to Sarah Marcel, she knows her life is forever changed.

For two weeks straight, Sarah’s been unable to eat, sleep, or even form a coherent thought properly. She fears she’s losing her mind until a chance encounter brings a man into her life who seems to hold the key to solving her problems. With a single touch, he’s able to ease her troubled soul and bring her some much-needed peace. Yet, just as Sarah believes she’s found the solution to her dilemma, he disappears.

As Sarah begins to unravel a mystery surrounding her family’s past, she quickly discovers her role in a world that’s hidden from most humans. Being a Marcel comes with certain responsibilities, and there are some things that you can’t hide from forever.

This series is meant for ages 17+.

About the Author

S. J. West was born on a cold winter morning in the heart of Seoul, Korea. She was brought to America by her parents and raised in the Deep South where the words maam and yall became an integrated part of her lexicon. She wrote her first novel at the age of eight and continued writing on and off during her teenage years. In college she studied biology and chemistry and finally combined the two by earning a masters degree in biochemistry. After that she moved to Yankee land where she lived for four years working in a laboratory at Cornell University. Homesickness and snow aversion forced her back South where she lives in the land which spawned Jim Henson, Elvis Presley, Oprah Winfrey, John Grisham and B. B. King. After finding her Prince Charming, she gave birth to a wondrous baby girl. --This text refers to the audioCD edition.

Did not finish!

Did not finish! Well, the blurb sounded good, & the 4 & 5 star ratings led me to buy this. I don't know what everyone else read for those stars, but this was not a 4 or 5 star book in my opinion. I just couldn't keep reading past 20%, it didn't hold my attention, as well as some of the other hiccups to the story's plot. First, Sarah is to complacent & accepting of the whole vampire bonding thing, after simply watching a DVD from her mom that Julian gave her. Sarah reminds me of a "stepford wife" with her complacent behavior. I can't like a female lead character that you're mentally screaming at "You idiot!" Julian comes off just plain creepy to me, not as a romantic attraction for her. It almost felt like an incestuous relationship, though I read the part that he's not related to her in the familial way (so it's really not incest), but by using her family for 400+ years as a food source for his blood just creeped me out. Then him telling her to be having a baby soon made it feel like Sarah is just a prized animal to raise the next generation of food for him. Uh, just no, can't take this bizarreness. Also, at the point I quit, I still hadn't figured out who the heck Helen was to him or why he would have given her his blood over 300 years ago so that she would live a long life. Come on! authors need to treat characters as real in order to make the reader feel the character is believable in their book. A real "Sarah", who is scientific by nature per the book, would have wanted way more answers than she got before committing to the vampire bond. I know I won't be reading more in this series, & I'm not sure about other books by this author now, either.

Not your standard vampire story.

Reviewed in the United States on March 18, 2019

Verified Purchase

A different take on the vampire genre. I found it interesting to be based on a curse and related to Madam Balthory. Just touching on other supernatural beings brought intrigue and didn't distract. As the story progresses you find out a bit more and there is more interaction with 2 of the supernatural races. I thought it was a bit confusing and misleading that in the beginning out main vampire is incapable of reciprocation when it comes to romantic love. Every other vampire suffers this same gate but inexplicably Julian loves our heroine from the first blood exchange and has a hard time being around her because he doesn't know how to handle those feelings. Emotional pain whenever someone leaves to run an errand? Suffocating and too much. Knowing when someone is hurt or in danger and being able to find them off an internal radar is cool. A lot of interesting and entertaining elements and some areas were just a bit juvenile (maybe a young author still figuring out how love is). Would recommend as overall it was entertaining and new.

Moonshade is a different twist to a vampire romance.

Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2018

Verified Purchase

A great 17+ YA Paranormal romance. You get a little bit of everyone in the story from vampires to witches but not portrayed as you usually get them in books. I like the way S J West went with this, it’s definitely different than any other books of this nature I’ve read. I love the heroine Sarah, she’s sweet with a bit of a bite of her own. I like that she’s the aggressive one in the relationship and that Julian is trying to protect her even if it’s from herself. There’s action and comedy. Going to start the 2nd book because I can’t wait to see how this story turns out!

I’m going to give Moonshade by S.J. West the benefit of the doubt. The book wasn’t perfect – I certainly ran into a fair number of typos and there were a few aspects of the romance and the plot that could have been handled better. None of that matters in the long-run, however.

I enjoyed the book. The world-building was new and unique. I liked the characters. I found the writing engaging and easy to follow. All the little points I wish had been perfected are barely mentionable in comparison to all the things I liked about the story.

Overall, I’m glad I read the book. If you like vampire stories, paranormal romance, or fantasy, you’ll most likely enjoy this book. I encourage you to give it a try.

A bloody-good start

Reviewed in the United States on November 13, 2017

Moonshade is the first in a series. Usually I'm not a big fan of series, but this book tells an engrossing and satisfying story, even while still leaving questions to be answered in the next volume.
Sarah is leading a normal life when she suddenly learns she is destined to be a vampire's companion. End of normal life. Sarah may be a bit flustered by her new status at first, but she quickly grows into a kickass heroine. And there are some asses needing to be kicked because her vampire has enemies. A fun read!

WELL DONE!

Reviewed in the United States on August 13, 2017

I do not often finish a book and head right off to purchase the sequel, but this book was SO well done and SO original in its concepts, that I did just that!
The characters are well developed, and even better, LIKEABLE! The dilemmas are presented in such a way, that they are believable, in a fantasy sort of way. While parts were predictable, the story as a whole was unique enough to still have surprises.
WELL DONE!

What a twist

Reviewed in the United States on February 28, 2018

Verified Purchase

I admit it took me a little bit to get into this book but once I did I couldn't put it down. SJ West puts a whole new spin on vampires that for the most part I really enjoyed. It's the vamp teeth that I'm not fully on board with, maybe its my preconceived notions or just the fact that it sounds painful and I cringe with every bite, who knows but overall it's a good book. I can't wait to see how Sarah's story plays out now that we know what she is and how exactly will it affect Julian in the long run.

Another wonderful series by Sj West! I love her Vankara and Watchers series, so was excited to hear she had a vampires series coming out. Sarah is a young woman who suddenly ends up in a world of werewolves, vampires, fae and most importantly a sexy vampire named Julian. The background of this book is New Orleans and its the perfect choice for the series. The mythology, romance and overall story are awesome and I found it hard to put down

As with all of SJ Wests books this one does not disappoint...I just wish the next book in the series was complete!

I love the twists and turns this book throws at you, it is not just your typical vampire book...I love the depth of the characters and how easy it is to get trapped in their world.
