A hunter. That is what I am. I am neither alive nor dead. I cannot age. I cannot bleed for very long. I can die by another of my kind, but why would I allow such a thing? Bred to hunt things that walk amongst the humans. Things that terrify and annihilate the most fragile beings in the world. Why? I could not tell you. I only know that is how it must be. More so, because my human-self was killed, but when I woke, this is what I was. Ravana Moon spends her existence searching for her sire, called the Ancient One. What she finds is an unsuspecting vampire completely enthralled. Her repulsion of him only makes him want her more. When they have no choice but to team up to find their creator, they find they have more enemies to uncover.
This book is graphic in nature and contains homosexual content. It is book one in the Ravana Moon series.
S.L. Perrine is a wife to a mechanic and mother of four crazy teenagers (3 are boys) who eat her out of house and home. Among writing, reading is another passion of hers. She also enjoys camping, fishing, and anything that means family time. During the summer she can be found at camp with her laptop by the pool. She and her family reside in Troy, NY.
“I write stories to fill the world with imagination for those who have a hard time finding their own.”
If I could give this book more then 5 stars I would. Ravana Moon is the epitome of a strong, no holds barred, kick ass heroine and I love it!!! S.L. Perrine goes so much further than this as she tells a tale of vampires, hunters, and betrayal. You fall in love with Ravana and Massimo and relate to their struggles and fears. This book hooks you from the very first chapter thru vivid descriptions that form a work of art.
Once again this author brings it ! Ravana Moon was born and raised to be a hunter. Turned Vampire by a man called the Ancient One, Ravana is different from others of her kind and spends decades searching for her sire and answers. Massimo her friend/enemy who keeps Ravanas sexual desires on overdrive, was also turned by The Ancient One and is in no hurry for Ravana to learn the truth of her past.
This story draws you in from the first chapter and keeps you until the final page. I can honestly say that I am never disappointed when this author puts out a book. They always seem to become one of my new favorite series. Anticipating the next adventure for Ravana and Massimo in book two.
When I first started reading it, I wasn’t sure what to expect so I pushed on. A choice I’m very happy I made as this book does not disappoint nor does it slow down once it kicks into high gear.
My five-star review of “The Darker Side of Me” (A Ravana Moon Novel Book one) Ravana Moon felt real, gritty, strong, feminine and in control of her life. I felt inspired by her strength, sexuality and strong personality. I had no problem envisioning a redheaded vampire that had an insatiable need to find who gave her immortality. This main character made me feel the passion for blood, insatiable will power to cause harm to those deemed worthy of justice and a need to not be alone in a dark, seedy, grimy era of an age past. I could feel the intense emotions portrayed. I felt wonder at the violence, the clothing, the time period that was dark yet vibrant with an aura of supernatural. I imagined the vibrancy of the action, the feeling of the emotions portrayed and the desire of the main character not to be alone. Nobody wants to be alone. Perhaps we don’t want to be bothered but not be alone. Ravana is a lonely soul brimming with love, passion, violence and indescribable need to have a purpose. The reader who likes vampires, sexy strong characters, awesome clothing and lots of action intermixed with great sex at perfectly written times will love this story. A story of splendor for me.
I love Perrine's writing! She's creative, inventive, and gives you interesting characters to love and hate as much as they love and hate each other. Ravana is just downright awesome. A mixture of sex appeal, bitchiness, and bad-assery wrapped in hooker chic.
This has to be one of my most favorite books. I absolutely FLOVE Ravana. She is a take no prisoners, kick a$$ alpha female. You will absolutely love this book. It was so hard to put down, I'm pretty sure I read it in one sitting. Don't miss out on this book.
