A big thank to NetGalley and Macmillan Children's Publishing Group, for gifting me an eARC in exchange for an honest review.

Fantasy? Murder mystery? All wrapped up with magic and a mysterious love interest? Sign me up!

Blood and Moonlight by Erin Beaty is a YA fantasy thriller, that follows the story of Catrin as she witnesses the escape of a murderer. Joined by detective Simon, whose mind closely follows that of a killer, Catrin falls down the rabbit hole of murders. But things aren't quite that simple as Catrin has a secret of her own.

Though I've only had the chance to read Erin Beaty's first novel of the Traitor's Kiss. I feel like this newest addition to her literary set, it quite fantastical. As well as perfect for anyone not wanting a full-blow fantasy. Though still want the mystical feel for magic and adventure. But do be warned, this book leans heavily on the aspect of a murder mystery instead of full-blown magic. Still, a great read when needing a break from complex world building and magic systems.
