Shade of a Blood Moon: A Vampire Dark Romance and Urban Fantasy (The Hades Blood Moon Book 1) By D.L. Blade

"Shade of a Blood Moon" is a dark paranormal romance series perfect for readers who enjoy enemies-to-lovers stories with possessive, morally gray men. The series features vampires, witches, elemental magic, and steamy scenes. Other tropes include kidnapping, "she runs, he chases," and a strong female protagonist.

The story follows Rachel Hardmann, a dhampir born with a disastrous lineage, who has spent her life in hiding to avoid being hunted down and killed. She longs to make New Orleans her forever home, but she knows she can't stay.

One night, Rachel is attacked by Andrei Dimitriou, the head of the Black Blood Diamond vampire clan. After being tempted to drink her blood, Andrei realizes she's a different kind of creature, and he's determined to find out what she is.

Rachel is coerced to work for Andrei and his clan, but a stalker emerges from the shadows, determined to trap and use her for his own gain. Rachel must trust Andrei to protect her, but the line between lust and hate becomes blurred. As desire pulls them together, Rachel is tangled into a trap she can't escape.

As she confronts her secrets and the truth about her past, Rachel must survive in a world that has never truly accepted her.

"Shade of a Blood Moon" is the first book in a trilogy co-written by D.L. Blade and C.M. Locke. It is a character/world spin-off from D.L. Blade's series, "Blood of the Chosen," but can be read as a standalone. 📚❤️
