Reviews for Moonstone & Mugwort
Dark fantasy and paranormal fantasy lovers, GRAB THIS BOOK. Fans of Julie Embleton’s other series will not be disappointed — you are in for a treat with Oath & Legacy!
Without spoiling anything, I'll just say that I did not think the story would take the turn it did! Wow! I highly recommend this book! Look forward to reading the next book in this series!
Forbidden love, deadly encounters, magical creatures, secret agendas, subterfuge… Moonstone & Mugwort has all that and more - not to mention a great plot, angsty romance, and the kind of storytelling that keeps the pages turning!
Absolutely loved this page-turner which gradually builds to a heart stopping finale by way of utterly compelling characters. Embleton has the gift of making the reader want to crawl inside the story and live with the characters, especially one particularly charismatic vampire.
Witches & Vampire & family curses… Oh, my!
Moonstone & Mugwort is an amazing story that sucked me in on page one and had me unwilling to put it down. I devoured this book in two days, and loved every bit of this story and its characters. I cannot wait for the next book and more of Ava and Enzo.
I had heard wonderful things about the author, Julie Embleton, from other readers and none of the praise is undeserving. Embleton masterfully weaved a tale as magical as her characters and I cannot recommend this book highly enough!
This was the first novel I’ve read by Julie Embleton, but it definitely will not be my last! FIVE STARS!
I’m no stranger to Embleton’s books starting with the Turning Moon series. I didn’t think it could get better…it did!
What a story! I was captured within mere chapters and was left gawking with my mouth open when I closed the book. Embleton created fully rounded and layered characters, including the minor ones. The story ebbed and flowed in all the right places. This fantastical world where humans, vampires, witches and things that go bump in the night are thrown into a brewing pot right before a looming eclipse threatening to shake up both the magical and human worlds. I love this jumble mix of magic, palm reading, tarot cards, spells and curses amongst the human world. Throw in a couple lines of Pride and Prejudice and you have literary icing on the cake! Embleton definitely knows how to shake up this magical world while leaving the human world none the wiser. Well, most of them.
Yet another impossible to put down page-turner from Julie Embleton, Moonstone & Mugwort will have you hanging on the edge of your seat, gasping at the twists and turns, and jonesing for more at the unexpected cliffhanger.
Embleton crafts exceptional, deep characters to love and loathe while her superlative paranormal storytelling pays homage to her Irish heritage.
As with all of Embleton’s novels, the Oath & Legacy series is one I will return to again and again.
