MY FIRST THOUGHTS
Totally enjoying this, and the beginning hooked me straight away. What’s in that box, and why has her dad only just told her to open it? Who are these people who want her dead? Why her? These are just some of the questions the beginning of this book had me asking, and I love that when I’m eager to read more to get answers!
Blood Crescent (Divine #1)
A missing mother. A magical birthright. Can she uncover the secrets of her family legacy before the bloodline runs dry?Sixteen-year-old Crystal Dylan thought magic only existed in storybooks. But everything changes when she finds out her long-departed mom isn’t dead: she was stolen away by the same power-hungry league now hunting her own enchanted blood. In search of answers, she must make sense of a hidden mystical realm and two mysterious protectors.
Victor is more than just the boy-next-door. As a shifter, he’s lost track of the many lives he’s led and the memories of his true self. But as he stands close to the beautiful Crystal, he can sense his past coming back into focus. So when dark forces threaten to drain Crystal’s powers, he may just have to risk an enchanted kiss that could save her life… or seal her fate.
With enemies closing in, Crystal must find her mom and uncover her magical destiny before her powers fall into the clutches of evil.
Blood Crescent is the first novel in the exhilarating Divine Series of YA paranormal fantasies. If you like hidden magical realms, fresh new takes on vampire lore, and heartfelt journeys of self-discovery, then you’ll love Stevie McCoy’s spellbinding coming-of-age tale.

I’m not a fan of vampire novels, but I did like the opening page of this novel. I liked the visual it brought to mind.
I was tempted by the excerpts…but sorry, the V word! LOL. Not a fan of vampires, although I did love Barnabas, in Dark Shadows.
Here’s mine: “THE OTHER WIFE”
That book beginning is so intriguing, and i can totally picture a shoebox with pictures pasted on with glue. My Frida Quotes – The Prince and the Dressmaker
The beginning hooked me too and I’m adding this author to my reading list. I hope this continues to be a good one for ya!
Intriguing opening. I hope you continue to enjoy it.
