The Darkest Side of the Moon

By M.C. Ryder

What happens when life pushes you over the edge?

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. This is a supernatural coming of age epic that challenges readers to step into the shoes of an unwitting protagonist who must adapt to a new world of mythical warriors engaged in in a battle of good vs evil as she prepares to fulfill her destiny.

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.

"An intriguing dark, mysterious, mythological fantasy." A M.C. Ryder weaves an exciting and suspenseful supernatural tale in this young adult fiction. Readers will not want the book to end. We highly recommend " -- Explore Authors Magazine ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

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 ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Gripping and intense

This is a novel that is impossible to put down. Gripping and intense are only two words to describe the effect of the story. Every page was such a tuner and every chapter was easy to comprehend and left no gaps for confusion. The plot twists had me shocked and invested in each character’s part of the story. The thrills come at you fast and furious, leaving you on the edge of your seat right to the last page.
