Grace has more responsibilities and struggles than any 23 year old should have to deal with. Her sister, Petra, and brother-in-law were killed in a car crash. She was also in the car and suffered extensive damage to her knee that is painful on a daily basis. She also became the guardian to her young niece and nephew. As if that wasn’t enough, the Power of the Oracle transferred from Petra to Grace and now she’s learning how to control th More...

I wasn't sure what to expect going into this novel. It picks up where Serpent's Kiss left off (I believe it's the morning after the events that transpired at the end of the book). Though this can probably stand alone, I recommend reading Serpent's Kiss first.

This novel is much more internally focused than the previous books were. While there is outside conflict, it doesn't come to play until later in the book. Mostly we got to see Grace and Kahlil interacting with each other on a daily basis, i More...

With any great series, it's hard for each news book to stand up to high expectations. Add to that a first book that has joined the ranks of "re-read favorites", and I was paralyzed with excitement and fear when I picked up ORACLE'S MOON. No one is more excited than I to find that no only did ORACLE'S MOON stand up to how much I enjoyed SERPENT'S KISS, it has joined DRAGON BOUND as a book that I know I'll be re-reading to enjoy again in the future. Grace and Khalil's relationship, as well as the More...

My first read of 2012


What a great book to start my year of reading. Not only that Ms. Harrison did NOT DISAPPOINT, she EXCEEDED MY EXPECTATIONS! I could not askfor anything more from this book.

Oracle's Moon can be a stand alone read as Ms. Harrison does well explaining the important point to the series. But because this is such awonderful world to follow, I strongly suggest reading in chronological order.

This book takes off shortly af More...

(April) - 4.5* - I loved this book! I've decided I'm not very deep- or maybe I'm not very smart! I read reviews for books and people get very into their reviews - talking about what they expected from certain characters or authors, or going on about things that just make me go "huh?" I read so many series that I get quite forgetful about the details of characters or worlds, etc. I think that makes it easy - I read most books w/little expectation other than a good story, good characters, lots of More...

Standard disclaimer: I love this series. Seriously, I'm stupidly in love with every little piece of this world. I plan on fangirling so hard that I'm going to need oxygen before I get to the end of this review.

Yeah. So. This book blew me away. I mean, for the love of small furry creatures, how much can one poor girl take before she cracks wide open and turns into a gibbering mess? Grace is holding on by her fingernails in the beginning and it got to me. She's floundering and she's trying her har More...

Oracle's Moon renewed my faith in this series. While the second two books in the series weren't bad, they also weren't what I was expecting after reading Dragon Bound. So I wasn't sure how this one would turn out. Thankfully, it was awesome. Khalil is definitely my favorite male from this series so far and for me he totally made this book.

We met Grace and Khalil in the last book, Serpent's Kiss. Grace, as the Oracle, helps Carling and Rune with the problem they're having. But Grace has been push More...

My high school math teacher told me that the words "indeed" and "splendid" were disappearing from the English language. Not if Thea Harrison has anything to say about it! INDEED, this book is the most erotic Elder Races yet! Holy smokes, and I'm not just talking about Kahlil. After the measured pacing of Serpent's Kiss, Ms. Harrison comes back in a rush. This book is charming (hey, how can it not be with two small children in the mix?) and Kahlil is endearing - a fish out of water who falls in l More...

My Rating: ★★★★★

In the latest Novel of the Elder Races, an untested young woman must claim her place as the Oracle—and contend with a powerful Djinn who has decided to become a part of her life...

As a second daughter, Grace Andreas never had to worry about the intrigues of the Elder Races. But when her sister, Petra, and Petra's husband are both killed, Grace inherits the Power and responsibilities of the Oracle of Louisville, as well as her sister's two More...

Boy, I sure do wish Goodreads had half-stars,because this was a 3 1/2 star read for me.

In a way, this was sort of a repeat of the first book(Dragon Bound, in that the girl is way younger than the supernatural male. There is also the unequal balance of powers between the two.
Here Grace is 23 and is the voice of the Oracle. Khalil is a Djinn, vast in age and experience and power. We also get a repeat with Grace teaching Khalil how to interact with humans. Grace is often snarky and shows no fear of More...

looking forward to Grace and Khalil's story immensely!

In this installment of Thea Harrison’s Elder Races series, we dive into the world of Djinn and oracles. This book starts right where Serpent’s Kiss ends, but can be read as a stand alone.

Khalil was called to Grace’s house as a payment of a debt he owed to the vampire Carling at the end of Serpent’s Kiss. He was sent to keep Grace’s niece and nephew safe, as she dealt with a barrage of wyr and vampires and other supernatural creatures on her property. Grace has recently inherited the power of an More...

The first book in Thea Harrison’s Elder Races series hit stores in May of 2011 and it was Wow. Four books later, Thea proves that not only does she possess an incredible talent for writing this genre but also an imagination that will help her bring us many more fantastic tales and characters – hopefully for years to come.

Oracle’s Moon is book four in the Elder Races series. I really enjoyed how this particular installment was written. In the other books, More...

If you are an Elder Race fan, I want you to think for a moment. Imagine Rune giving Khalil, a millenniums old Djinn made of pure essence and unimaginable Power, advice on how to date a 23 year old human. Just on that image alone, can you imagine not loving Oracle's Moon? And that is only one of the reasons that the latest Elder Races book is phenomenal.

Now, for those that aren't already Elder Races fans, what are you waiting for???? While I never recommend not starting a series at the beginning, More...

This is bar far the best book of the series in my opinion.

Grace is so vivid and real. Sarcastic and funny, she's realistic in terms of her rather horrible situation and she's a fighter. Plus, she fights for something that's relatable to most people. Family, and keeping them afloat, moneyvise.

Khalil is out of this world. In every way that counts. Ha. And he is so aloof and arrogant in the beginning, doesn't at all know how to relate to human worries and troubles. These traits of his clash in a More...

I really enjoyed this one, while I liked books 2 & 3....they did not have the same feel as the first book, this one had the same feel. Grace was pretty amazing with all the obstacles in front of her...being the Oracle, raising her sisters children, and dealing with the injuries she got in the car accident that killed her sister and brother in law. Khalil was hilarious....next to Dragos I think he is one of my favorites, it was a lot of fun to see him figure things out and realize he had feel More...

I put this on Serpent's Kiss review, I'm going put it here, too.

For those who decided to stop reading at this series because all the disappointment they've faced for two books in a row. Or those who can't decide whether to continue reading or not.

Some people who had a mind-blowing experience reading Dragon Bound were disappointed with Storm's Heart and Serpent's Kiss.(e.g., myself) These two book were quite dull comparing with Dragon Bound. After two books of disappointment, some people decided More...

I just recently "discovered" Thea Harrison and really enjoy her writing. I have read several of her Elder Races books and the novellas from the same series. I am also one of those rotten people who do not always read a series in order. Oracle's Moon is book #4 in the series, I may read #3 later but the "blurp" about this book interested me more.

This book had me laughing and crying and totally enjoying this love story.Grace and Khalil have a love story, not a romance but a LOVE story. Khalil is More...

Once again Ms. Harrison drew me into the world of the Elder Races. Her world building continued in this book as she introduced us to the human witches and their place among the supernatural inhabitants of Earth -especially the Djinn.

Grace Andreas has not only taken over a position she never planned on having to take - the role of the Oracle- due to her sister and brother in laws death; she's also taken responsibility over her sister's children - Chloe and Max. Injured in the accident which kill More...

I read this series completely out of order; although I enjoyed each book, I would have appreciated the character development and nuances if I had read the books in order. I have a great appreciation for the author's long-range plot development. As a full body of work, Thea Harrison's series is very complex and the books interlock well without taking away from each set of characters' individual stories. Like all the books in the series this book was really well plotted and well written.

I didn't More...

I’ve gushed about Thea Harrison and her books a lot this year. She must have locked herself in a closet and had food shoved under the door for a year to have been able to have her publisher release Dragon Bound, Storm’s Heart, Serpent’s Kiss and Oracle's Moon in a twelve month period. Oh yeah, and two Novella’s, True Colors and Natural Evil. Sabina and I are going to write a post at some point that is both of us reviewing our favorite Novella releases, so I’ll talk about those at another time. O More...

Fourth in the Elder Races paranormal romance series. This one only peripherally involves Dragos Cuelebre. The couple focus is on Grace Andreas, the Oracle, and Prince Khalil, a Djinn of the House Marid. This particular story is based in Louisville.


My Take
In terms of a deserving person getting what they deserve, this story does abound in them. However, there were too many quirks to make this as enjoyable as the earlier stories (the first one, Dragon Bound , still holds the record for best and mo More...

I liked the first book in this series and then got stuck on book number 2 and never finished. But the general consensus seemed to be this book was really great.

I can't say I thought the same. I will say it was a book I read quickly, in two days, so that indicates that I didn't find it boring. I liked Gracie, for the most part, and while I had a lot (A LOT) of issues with Kahlil, it was a better romance than I've read in a while.

Sadly, that's not saying much about this book but more about some o More...

Bellissimo. Stupendo. L’ho appena finito e voglio già rileggerlo, è così romantico e toccante. Un essere incorporeo e che di umano ha poco, che piano piano riscopre e scopre un’umanità a lui aliena e si innamora quasi contro la sua volontà di un umana testarda ma terribilmente generosa. Ci sono così tante scene stupende…..la rtama è molto bella e non solo il rapporto tra i due anche il misterio che circonsda Petra è ben raccontato e il finale poi, è fantastico……non voglio rivelarvi troppo per no More...

Upon the death of her sister, Grace Andreas finds herself burdened with the responsibility of bringing up her young niece and nephew, having no money and on top of that inheriting the powers of the Oracle. All of this is pretty overwhelming, especially when she is labouring under a heap of unpaid bills and has the most dangerous and powerful members of the supernatural community knocking on her door.

Grace was introduced briefly in the last book when Khalil brings Carling and Rune to her home an More...

Rating 4.5

I loved the first book in the series and with the rest I had problems because I felt the other things, like politics over-shadowed the romance but this one wasn't like this. It was all romance and I loved it.

Grace was the new Oracle after her sister and her husband died. It was a role she never thought she would have to take and instead of dealing with the grief of losing her family, she has no time, she has her niece and nephew to take care of, a new role to play as well as deal with More...

Couple of things:

-Thank god for the lack of swearing and pop culture references.
-Making the reader reach for a dictionary doesn't win points.
-Character-building is stilted, like the rest of the books. If I had to describe Kahlil's behavior in three adjectives it would be paying back debts, curiosity, and one last thing that I can't quite remember but the point is, each of these attributes is blatantly stated and waved around for a chapter before it goes back to being hidden. They aren't integrat More...
