The Darkest Side of the Moon (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781944972714)

Perfect for fans of Twilight and The Cruel Prince, M.C. Ryder brings more to the young adult urban fantasy genre than a vanilla paranormal tale of vampires, werewolves, and shapeshifters.

Told from the second person perspective, you are about to go from being a stubborn teenager who's oblivious to the world to someone who leads a small army that will change the region and balance of power in a dark and mysterious world forever. Just when you think the world cannot become more of a mystery, you recognize the darkest side of the moon.

You are Nadine Drexel, and like most teenagers, you just want to make it through high school. Your future isn't mapped out, nor do you have a good plan for college. Taking things one day at a time is appealing. You're not the type that follows the crowd. You know who you are and like to travel your own path. That unflappable spirit is embraced, and you aren't about to let anyone or anything change that.

That is until the mysterious Vinson bursts into your life. All the girls fawn over the new student at school, including your best friend, Camille, but you aren't charmed. He's rude and arrogant, and you're the only one who notices there is something off with Vinson - something potentially dangerous.

Will you find out what that is before it's too late, or does a prophecy shrouded in darkness already have a plan for you that you have yet to realize? When events that shatter your world unfold, will you be able to return to being a normal teenager with an undetermined future, or is there another fate that awaits you?

If you're in the mood for a lightweight paranormal horror with a feel-good trajectory for vampires and werewolves, Ryder is going to take you for a joy ride." -- Vincent Dublado, Readers' Favorite ⭐⭐⭐⭐
