Full Moon Rising is the beginning of a new (to me) series that I was excited to read. Riley Jensen and her twin brother are half vampire and half werewolf and both work for the government concerning supernatural creatures. Trouble begins to brew when Riley's brother disappears and a vampire shows up on Riley's doorstep. Can she find her brother without becoming a guardian like her boss wants her to?
I'm finding that I am a huge fan of urban fantasy and this didn't disappoint. Keri Arthur creates a world that draws the reader into it and I couldn't help but root for Riley to succeed. It was a dark world filled with creatures of the night and lots of suspense. Riley was also up against the fact that it was the week before the full moon which meant that she was basically in heat. There was a lot of sex in this book which may deter some readers. It didn't bother me as a reader as it pertained to the story line but like I said before it might bother some. All of the answers weren't found at the end of the book which makes me want to read the next book in this series soon. The ending was satisfying though and I couldn't help but hope that the story would go the way I wanted it to in the following books :) All in all, I enjoyed this book and am excited to have found another series that I will be following.
Rating/Recommendations: 4 out of 5 and a recommendation to those who enjoy dark urban fantasy.

Oh yes, you totally rock! I needed another book for my 999 Paranormal Reading Challenge. There is a copy of this one at our library! :)
ReplyDeleteJ.Kaye- I think that you will enjoy this but is a darker book. I'll look forward to hearing your thoughts when you finish :)
ReplyDeleteI love this series. Arthur only gets better and better. Seriously, she's one of my automatic buys.
ReplyDeleteThe story plot that starts in Full Moon Rising is in the first four books of this series.
I also love that instead of going into murderous rages or have to turn wolf during the full moon cycle, Arthur's weres get horny.
