Full Moon Rising by Keri Arthur
My review
rating: 5 of 5 stars
Okay so since I recently finished book 6 of this series and loved it, I decided to pickup the first two books while I was out the other day, Full Moon Rising & Kissing Sin.
I’ll admit, reading The Darkest Kiss kind of spoiled the ending for me as far as Quinn’s disappearance. It also made the scenes between Jack and Riley really annoying, since I knew in the end, she’d eventually end up as a guardian somewhere in the series.
Aside from that the book was very enjoyable. This book was much more on the steamy side rather than just raw tension unlike book 6 so I was happy about that. (Sorry for the lack of other comparisons in the series!)I definitely was glad that the author takes the time to flesh out Riley as a main character and clearly state her views on things like sex and clubs as well as giving the reader an in depth description on her idea of werewolf culture.
In the process of trying to explain to friends where this book fits on a particular shelf, its really hard to describe. On one hand its very adventure & mystery with Riley’s work at the Directorate. But on the other, the romance scenes are very hot and heavy and it teems with sexual tension. So its somewhere in the mix.
One thing I am for sure of… It works and I like it.
