MS MORGAN SHARES WITH READERS WHAT HER FAVORITE PARANORMAL/SUPERNATURAL SHOWS ARE AND HOW THEY INFLUENCED THE CREATION OF THIS BOOK:

Ever since I was a teenager, I’ve been obsessed with vampires. So, most of my favorite TV shows feature vampires in some way. The most obvious ones are Vampire Diaries, The Originals, and Buffy. But I also enjoy many other paranormal/supernatural shows where vampires play no role (or just a minor role), for example, Supernatural, Lucifer, and Charmed.

My first answer to the question of how these shows influenced The Shadowed Moon would be “They didn’t.”

But then I remembered one of my best friends reading the book as a beta reader. In the last third of the book, I introduce a new character, Markus, a tall, black-haired vampire prince. After reading that chapter, my friend told me he reminded her of Elijah from The Originals. When I reread his scenes, I realized she was right. I feel like Elijah’s vibe fits him pretty well, though. So, I’m happy I subconsciously based his character on Elijah.

I also hint at one of my main characters, Sarah, watching TV in one scene. Sarah is a young vampire who got kidnapped as a child by vampires. They tortured her and trained her to become their soldier before turning her on her eighteenth birthday. So, she never got to watch TV growing up. When she finally gets the chance to explore this medium, the human take on her kind confounds her. After her horrible past, she couldn’t believe vampires would go to high school and fall in love with one of the other students. But that’s pretty much what happens in Vampire Diaries.

After they took everything from him, Dave Patton dedicated his life to hunting vampires. But he can’t bring himself to destroy their newest vampire prisoner Sarah—a young woman with a tragic past, who awakens forbidden desires in him.

Sarah McAllister spent her childhood in the hands of ruthless vampires aiming to turn her into a perfect soldier. To take revenge, she hides her true strength and surrenders to a group of hunters, hoping her knowledge will help them bring all monsters to justice.
When the hunters’ compound is attacked, Sarah has to reveal her powers to protect them from certain death. How will Dave react when he learns the truth? And how much will she have to sacrifice to defeat her tormentors?

EXCERPT:

“Okay then.” She swallowed and backed away. “Come at me and try to land a hit.”

He drew his sword. “Just one?”
“One will be hard enough, trust me.” She disappeared, only to reappear on the opposite side of the hall with a grin. “I’ll give you ten minutes before I go on the offensive.”
“All right.” He stormed at her.
Every time he approached, she glided out of reach. Whenever he thought he’d cornered her, she vanished. How did she move so incredibly fast? After a while, he bent over, panting.
“If you can’t get close, you’ll never touch me.”
“Well, you’re just running away. Looks like you’re afraid to face me,” he taunted her.
She laughed. “I’m not, and I’ll happily prove it to you in—” She glanced at the clock on the gym wall. “—three...two...one...now. Your time is up.”
He swallowed and tightened the grip on his sword. “Well then, turn your words into actions because I’m not running either.”
“As you wish.” She flew at him. With the force of her speed, she pushed him back against the wall. Faster than he could react, she seized his arms with hers and pressed her delicate body against his to keep him from fighting back.
Her soft breasts rubbed against his chest as he struggled against her, and the scent of chocolate and coconut assaulted his senses. She tempted him in more ways than one, and his hands ached to break free and explore her body. A flush of warmth spread through him as he imagined turning their training session into a make-out one. Since this was neither the time nor the place for such thoughts, he shook his head to clear it.
When his jeans tightened, he knew he’d lost the battle—against his arousal.

S.E.T.I. researcher, Gwen Fox, is a woman on a mission—to answer the cosmic question of the ages: Are we alone?
Along with her work family, Gwen is perfectly happy spending her days listening for extraterrestrial signals—until the worst happens. They get word that they’re about to be shut down by Ty Sterling, their billionaire backer whose heart is as cold as interstellar space.
About to lose everything, Gwen has no choice but to travel to Peru to change his mind. Armed only with scientific zeal and optimism, Gwen faces off against Ty, who just might be the most stubborn, cynical man in the galaxy.
As the tension between the pair builds, so does the undeniable chemistry that neither of them saw coming. Against the breathtaking backdrop of the Peruvian jungle, the space between enemies and lovers begins to collapse.

EXCERPT:

“Anyway, I’m really sorry about Dr. Napper. I’m sure this must be just awful for you—losing your business partner and probably your best friend.”
He stiffens a little, then says, “Thanks, but I’m fine.”
“He was an incredible human,” I say, glancing out to see that we’re no longer flying over Lima, but are now at the base of the mountains. “Not only generous, but so full of life and really incredibly inspiring. I watched every one of his adventures on the Dick Cam.”
Mr. Sterling blinks slowly, then says, “You needn’t bother. I meant what I said earlier—about there being absolutely no chance of me funding any of your projects.”
“I know you did. You hate what we do, even though SETI is a real and highly respected line of research. Not like a lot of the other projects in the foundation.” Leaning toward him a little, I say, “I mean, come on, the search for Atlantis? Might as well look for King Arthur’s sword. Embarrassing.”
 His lips curve up ever so slightly, and I’ll be damned if those aren’t a nice set of lips. “Let me get this straight. You look down on them?”
My face heats up with humiliation, which turns instantly to rage. Doing my best to stay icy calm, I say, “I assure you what those other teams do and what we do are nothing alike. Ours is a very real science based on facts and certainty. Theirs is a fairy tale.”
“I have news for you. You’re not that different.”
Okay, now I’m mad. “We most certainly are nothing like those crazy Yeti people.”
“You most certainly are. You all employed exactly the same strategy when it came to sending someone on this godforsaken trip to try to handle me.”
“Which is...?”
“Sending a young, attractive woman to convince me not to shut you down.” His eyes sweep over me. “It’s insulting really.”
Attractive? Did he just call me attractive? Is my face bright red right now? Because it feels ridiculously hot. Stupid face. “That’s not why I was picked.”
He arches his left eyebrow. “Really?”
“Yes, really,” I answer, sounding haughtier than I should. “There was a very good reason my team sent me.”
“What? Are you the only one who speaks Klingon or something?”
I narrow my eyes at him. “Obviously not. I’m the only one who had the necessary qualifications.”
He looks impressed for a second, but then I realize he’s just pretending. “So you’re the brains behind the whole operation then?”
“No, everyone on the team is...the brains behind the operation. We’re all one big brain and together we have all the skills and knowledge needed. Honestly, the whole thing would fall apart if you got rid of any of us,” I say, laying the groundwork in case he does give us funding but then decides to turn around and downsize us. Well, he could let Chad go. That would be fine. I’m about to say as much when the helicopter suddenly seems to be lifted up out of nowhere, pushing me into my seat with a terrifying force.
Without thinking, I reach for Mr. Sterling’s hand and he does the same to mine. We grip each other as the nose of the aircraft pitches up violently and the engine stalls. Closing my eyes, I feel panic take over me as it feels like we’re about to drop out of the sky. Without a parachute in sight. Thank God I went pee back at the airport...

AUTHOR INFO:

Melanie Summers also writes steamy romance as MJ Summers.
Melanie made a name for herself with her debut novel, Break in Two, a contemporary romance that cracked the Top 10 Paid on Amazon in both the UK and Canada, and the top 50 Paid in the USA. Her highly acclaimed Full Hearts Series was picked up by both Piatkus Entice (a division of Hachette UK) and HarperCollins Canada. Her first three books have been translated into Czech and Slovak by EuroMedia. Since 2013, she has written and published three novellas, and eight novels (of which seven have been published). She has sold over a quarter of a million books around the globe.
In her previous life (i.e. before having children), Melanie got her Bachelor of Science from the University of Alberta, then went on to work in the soul-sucking customer service industry for a large cellular network provider that shall remain nameless (unless you write her personally - then she'll dish). On her days off, she took courses and studied to become a Chartered Mediator. That designation landed her a job at the R.C.M.P. as the Alternative Dispute Resolution Coordinator for 'K' Division. Having had enough of mediating arguments between gun-toting police officers, she decided it was much safer to have children so she could continue her study of conflict in a weapon-free environment (and one which doesn't require makeup and/or nylons).
Melanie resides in Edmonton with her husband, three young children, and their adorable but neurotic one-eyed dog. When she's not writing novels, Melanie loves reading (obviously), snuggling up on the couch with her family for movie night (which would not be complete without lots of popcorn and milkshakes), and long walks in the woods near her house. She also spends a lot more time thinking about doing yoga than actually doing yoga, which is why most of her photos are taken 'from above'. She also loves shutting down restaurants with her girlfriends. Well, not literally shutting them down, like calling the health inspector or something--more like just staying until they turn the lights off.
She is represented by Suzanne Brandreth of The Cooke Agency International.

Son of Sinister. Drug dealer. The number one stunner on The Strip and a BIG FAT LIAR. They bow to him like he’s the holy grail, but I know he’s really the devil.
Since the day he was dropped on our doorstep, I’ve wanted him out of my life.
He’s a black stain on my memory and the one who put my father away.
Because of him, I’m flipping burgers instead of lying on beaches. To say he ruined my life would be an understatement.
Ten years later, I still can’t stand the guy, but even I can admit he’s sexy beyond belief. I won’t fall for his lusty looks and boyish charms. There’s nothing he can say or do to me to make me believe he’s anything but a lying playboy.
Or is there?

MY IMPRESSIONS OF THIS BOOK:

This is a story that stepped on the gas pedal from the very first sentence and didn't let up until the end.  It's a whirlwind of action and emotions, characters that were put through the wringer, and triggers that might be difficult to read about but made for an unforgettable story.  It's a story that pulls at your heartstrings and has you holding on for dear life through all the highs and lows.  It satisfies while leaving you clamoring for the next installment.

Koah Saint and Tori Welsh have a complicated connection, making for a childhood of pain and anger that puts them at odds with one another.  A childhood of evilness and abuse binds Saint and his two friends, leading to an event that changes Tori's life irrevocably.  For both, the fallout of that event leads to anger and pain and doing anything to survive.  I admire both for surviving the childhoods they had, even with the sometimes questionable choices made by Saint.  Saint's childhood was truly awful, heartbreaking, so it was understandable that he chose a more gritty path to adulthood. Though his actions weren't always heroic, he was definitely a hero just for surviving. Tori's life had her carrying the weight of the world on her shoulders, barely making ends meet to keep her and her sister alive and well.  Saint and Tori have always been a combustible pairing, but slowly Saint started to prove himself her champion.  With each turn of the page hate morphed into something stronger, something built on the foundation of past pain in a sweet and sensual journey to HEA.  Theirs was a journey of twists and turns, hurt and healing, and it kept me glued to their journey to HEA.

This was a fast-paced read with larger than life characters, characters who weren't just black and white in their actions.  They were perfectly imperfect characters who pushed all of my emotional buttons as I hurt with each hurt they endured and smiled with their rare moments of joy.  Just when you think they're heading to happiness, the story takes a dramatic turn that had me screaming before things were made right in a bittersweet ending.  With the turn of the final page I'm left satisfied but more than ready to jump back into this gritty world.  I'm now left impatiently waiting for Joker and Crow to tell their story, stories that will be emotionally raw and require lots of tissues. 

My rating for this is an A-

He’s the pro athlete everyone wants to be.

Quarterback Trey Van Horn didn’t become the league’s MVP by accident. Years of self-discipline and iron-clad control have made him the envy of everyone in and around the game of football. But when he comes face-to-face with the one who got away, his tightly managed life is turned upside down. Now he’ll do whatever it takes to score the greatest comeback of his life.

She’s tired of being every guy’s doormat.

London Headley is on the verge of having the career she’s always dreamed of. Too bad the path to her promotion runs through the guy who broke her heart a decade earlier. So what if everything about the Milwaukee Growlers QB sets her panties on fire? She’s determined to keep things professional. Life has taught her that men will always choose something—or someone—over her. It’s going to take more than a Hail Mary to get her to buy into the fairy tale.

The only problem? Her lips don’t seem to want to follow the game plan. Not when Trey is executing an all-out blitz to prove he’s worth a second chance.

EXCERPT:

“You weren’t my first kiss,” he whispered. “But you were the last kiss that took my breath away. The only one that did that, for what it’s worth. Being with you made me want things. Things I never expected. Things I haven’t felt or wanted with anyone since.”

MY IMPRESSIONS OF THIS BOOK:

This is a dark and fast-paced book that pulls you in from the very first chapter.  Fueled by intense feelings of anger, betrayal, pain, and revenge, it's an atmospheric tale that captivates readers and keeps you turning the pages while dealing with unexpected twists and turns along the way.

Set in small town America, readers get taken on a rollercoaster ride of events from the past and the ramifications it has on a group of people since then...culminating in the events of this book.  While some see small towns as a haven of love and support, it can also hide awful secrets and creates an atmosphere of painful judgments and fuels the ability to get away with the most heinous of acts.  Throughout this story the emotional pain being dealt with is sometimes worse than physical, scarring your heart and soul much deeper as each main character had a path they needed to choose.  Along with a journey to revenge there's a rather dark romance.  The couple involved have been put through the wringer, caused some of their own wreckage as well, but they still drew me to them.  The "hero" especially called to me as he oozed danger and sex appeal.  Knowing the dark past he had to endure broke my heart repeatedly, made his choices more understandable, all while making him unforgettable.  Together this is a perfectly imperfect pair, not easily fitting into a good or bad mold, but their story still captivated me and kept me guessing all the way to the end in a hard-fought HEA.  Upon reaching The End I felt exhausted, drained by all the emotions that came before and all the secrets fueling the storyline, but immensely grateful for finding an unconventional yet very satisfying story that I wholeheartedly recommend!

My rating for this is an A-

Book Blitz for Bewitching the Vampire by Brooklyn Ann (GIVEAWAY)….

A witch and a vampire find themselves drawn to each other in a scorching battle of wills that has these former enemies working together to save both of their communities.  Keep reading to get a tempting taste of Bewitching the Vampire by Brooklyn Ann, then add it to your bookshelf!  In honor of this ninth installment in the Brides of Prophecy series make sure to fill out the form below for the chance to win a $15 Amazon GC too!

The Lord Vampire of New Orleans meets his match in the leader of the local witch coven.

Magic is returning to Earth, and Raina Callahan’s witch coven is growing more powerful. She’s been warned to be wary of catching interest from dangerous people, and sure enough, she discovers that someone is following her. Her stalker turns out to be the owner of a vampire-themed club—who really is a vampire. And although he is dead sexy and charming, Raina is not okay with his surveillance or his intent to claim her as his. She will use every means of magic at her disposal to thwart him.

Valentin St. Scarasse, Lord Vampire of New Orleans, has a weakness for voluptuous women with magic in their blood. Just when he has his sights set on what promises to be a delicious meal—and maybe a few passionate nights in bed—the Thirteenth Elder commands him to watch over the witch and her coven and keep them safe. But when Raina catches Valentin spying on her, the witch and the vampire embark on a battle of wills that will only end if they surrender to the heat between them.

As the Evil One’s cultists invade the city, Raina and Valentin must learn to trust each other and together, help their communities form an alliance that both sides swore would never happen.

EXCERPT:

Raina felt the heat of the blood through the glass jar and felt a wave of dumbstruck awe at the surrealness of holding a pint of Valentin’s blood in her hands. “Thank you for keeping your end of the bargain. And for the food.” Feeling awkward, she rose from the couch. “I’d better head back.”
Valentin gave her a rueful smile. “I’m afraid that’s not going to be possible, chérie.”
“Why not?”
“The sun came up ten minutes ago.” His smile broadened, abandoning any pretense of remorse. “The building is locked down until dusk.”
Raina’s jaw dropped in the face of his mild tone. “You planned this on purpose!”
“Maybe.” Valentin gave her another smug smile. “You may as well put that blood in the fridge and text your friends so they don’t worry about you.”
She followed his first suggestion since she didn’t want to destroy a rare and powerful tool for her magic. The sight of the bottles of water, juice, wine, and fresh packages of lunchmeat and cheese made her want to kick herself for not noticing that he’d planned for her to stick around all day.
Instead, she whirled on him and summoned two fireballs in the palms of her hands. “Let me out now. Or else.”
The vampire vanished, and then she felt hot, steely manacles on her wrists before she was spun around and propelled forward at light speed. Raina blinked and found herself in the bathroom. Before she could process that, cold water sprayed on her hands and face.
Valentin’s lips grazed her ear as he growled in a terrifying voice. “Don’t you ever summon fire in my lair. Fight me all you want, but I will not allow you to endanger my people.”
I’m sorry, she almost said, but her anger, both at his trapping her here and how easily he’d overpowered her, bubbled back to the surface. She’d worked hard on being able to summon flames like Xochitl. And he’d managed to break her concentration and snuff them the minute he seized her. Yet he’d still drenched her in the shower when that wasn’t even necessary.
“Fine,” she snarled back. “Have some water then.”
Gathering her power, she redirected the shower spray over her shoulder so it would hit him in the face.
Valentin’s gurgled sounds of outrage told her she’d aimed true. A torrent of French curses escaped him, somehow managing to sound both scary and sexy. His grip on her tightened almost painfully, then she was spun around again and pinned against the shower wall.
“I endured the stinking floodwaters of Katrina, witch. Your little waterspouts won’t harm me.”
His eyes glowed green fire, his lips were drawn back to reveal his fangs, and his hair hung in wet dripping strands over his face. Damn him. Somehow, he managed to look hot and terrifying at the same time. Mingled arousal and fear chased away her bravado.
He must have seen her momentary defeat, for his lips curved in a feral grin. “What’s your next move, chérie?”
Damn him! She bared her own teeth in a bitter grin. “You told me you wished you could fly.”
Raina shoved her power outward, intending to propel him into the wall. But Valentin’s grip remained on her shoulders, so she went flying with him. They slammed into the wall above the bathtub with a sickening crack of tile. The impact knocked the wind out of her. A pitiful “oof” escaped her mouth, and her head spun with dizziness.
Wearing a corset had been a terrible idea. The wire boning dug into her breasts and ribs uncomfortably.
“Mon pauvre,” Valentin murmured in a husky voice before she was once more flipped around and pinned. “I think that hurt you worse than it did me.”
“I’m fine,” she lied. “Your move.”
“If you wish.”
Then his mouth was on hers, hot and insistent. Raina melted under the onslaught and returned the kiss hungrily. She tried to reach for his hair, but he kept her arms pinned against the cold tile.

Rae

When Uther "King" Hills, president of the Iron Outlaws MC, shows up at my home, I know it's for one thing. Revenge.

My life for my brother's, a traitor to the club.

My sacrifice to ensure his loyalty.

But I know a thing or two about tragic kings.

They never win.

What I didn't know was how they can steal your heart in the process of trying.

King

Rae Miller is my enemy's little sister.

And I intend to ruin her before I toss her back at her brother's feet.

Even as my actions tear my club apart.

Except this Shakespeare-quoting fire-cracker has me seeing ghosts.

I don't scare her. She outwits me at every turn and has a body I can't get enough of. The fact I want to kill every person who ever hurt her is irrelevant.

Only, when she's at risk because of me, I pray the bonds I've broken can mend themselves. Because without my club, we don't have a hope of surviving.

Born in England, spent time in the U.S. and Japan, before ending up in Canada where I met my own, personal hero – all six and a half feet of him. Both of us are scorpios! Yeah, I know! Should have checked the astrological signs earlier, but somehow it works for us. We have two amazing kids, who I either could never part with or could easily be convinced to sell on e-bay.

I’ve wanted to be a writer for a really long time. Check through my office cupboards or my computer and you’ll find half written stories and character descriptions everywhere. Now I'm getting the chance to follow that dream.
