There are humorous moments when Khalil must ask Rune for dating advice-how to dress, what to eat and where to go. Thea’s descriptive detail regarding Khalil and Grace’s love making, will leave you breathless and wishing that a being like Khalil, were real and not part of a fantasy between the pages of a novel. And with his feelings come emotions that he never knew existed. Khalil is a being of immense knowledge, age and power, but still a man. But it is the love between the couple-that anchors-this particular storyline. There is an energy pull between Grace and the Djinn prince a thread that connects the soon to be lovers. Grace slowly discovers and develops her powers with the approach of the Oracle’s Moon, and Khalil’s energy enables Grace to discover that there is a history to the family lineage that she does not want to pass to her niece. We follow Khalil and Grace’s growth as a couple and their connection to one another crosses the dimensions of time and space. Oracle’s Moon is more of a fantasy romance than an action/adventure. And with the threat, comes the knowledge that some accidents are really not accidental. And with the Power and the position comes a threat against both Grace and her young family.
But with her new-found powers Grace is blessed with a rare ability that will draw the attention of more than one Djinn Prince and his family. Without a mentor to guide her on her journey, she must navigate the pitfalls and dangers of allowing others to control her dreams and actions. Unlike previous Oracles, Grace must gain the knowledge through experience.
But Grace’s powers are soon put into practice, when she is petitioned to ‘see’ for a number of the Elder Races (including Dragos, Pia and the vampire King) and it is Khalil, who soon finds himself, falling for the human female. We first met Khalil and Grace in Serpent’s Kiss, where Khalil was drawn to the children in Grace’s care. Khalil, Djinn prince of House Marid, one of the eldest beings in the universe, has taken it upon himself to be protector and guardian of Grace and the two children in her care. Grace is broke, without any means of support and snubbed by the local coven of witches With it comes the responsibilities and power of a seer, a medium and a whole lot of spirits hoping to make contact. The Oracle is a position inherited through the female lineage and one that was never expected to pass to Grace. She is now the sole guardian of her sister’s two children and has inherited the mantle and the Power of the Oracle. Grace Andreas is a ‘witch’, and the lone survivor of a car accident that killed her sister Petra and brother-in-law, and left Grace severely injured and in need of reconstructive surgery. ORACLE’S MOON is the 4th novel (March 2012 release) in Thea Harrison’s Novels of the Elder Races series. NOTE: This is a repost of an earlier review.
