Week 37 Review: Blood and Moonlight

From Goodreads:

In Erin Beaty's fantasy mystery-thriller, Blood and Moonlight, an orphan with a secret, magical sight gets caught between a mysterious genius and the serial killer he's hunting.

Rising above the city of Collis is the holy Sanctum. And watching over its spires is Catrin, an orphan girl with unique skills—for she alone can spot the building's flaws in construction before they turn deadly.

But when Catrin witnesses a murderer escaping the scene of his crime, she's pulled into a dangerous chain of events where the only certainty is that the killer will strike again. Assigned to investigate is the mysterious and brilliant Simon, whose insights into the mind of a predator are frighteningly accurate.

As the grisly crimes continue, Catrin finds herself caught between killer and detective while hiding her own secret—a supernatural sight granted by the moon, destined to make her an outcast, and the only thing that might save her and those she loves from becoming the next victims...

My Review:
This book was so fantastic! I haven't read her other series yet, but I want to! I just loved this world, it was so interesting, these characters were fantastic, and the atmosphere was on point, and oh, yeah, the mystery! There were so many wonderful elements that came together to make this fantastic book!

I really enjoyed getting to know these character, Catrin was so great, she was loyal, and she was smart and determined, and when she gets pulled into this investigation, she does her best to help the case, as well as keep those that she loves protected because it looked bad for them. 

This was a really fantastic mystery! Simon really knows investigation in a way that's familiar to a modern day reader, but without the DNA science side of things, but the understanding of the criminal mind. And this book had me questioning everybody until the very end! It was so good and so intense! 

With all that going on, Catrin is also dealing with these powers, and a past, that she knows nothing about. I really enjoyed learning about it, and I'm so excited to see her learn more in the sequel! I'm so excited to read it!

Loved reading this book and I can't wait to read the sequel!
