[close] I'm doing a re-read of the series. I really enjoyed it the first time around and hoping it still lives up to my memory of the series.

Lenore's review 01/10/10 Great book. Recommended. A little slower than what I am used to, but good all the same. For a more in depth review please visit http://www.paranormal-romancejunkies....

I LOVED this book. I was into it almost instantly. Some book I think.. yeah I might like this.. but with the great ones I know I'll love it right from the start.

Riley who is the protagonist of the book. Her and her twin brother, Rhoan, have a secret: they are a combination of both Vampire and Werewolf.Natural hybrids such as Riley and her twin brother Rhoan are very rare, and not many know of their condition.
Riley is strong, smart and sexy. She works with the Directorate, which polices the supernatural world. Rhoan is a guardian and as much as her boss Jack wants Riley to be one, she wants to keep herself low brow. Riley is a strong, funny redhead halfbread who has someone targeting her as prey.

Synopsis:
Arthur's suspenseful, colorful debut introduces readers to a world in which vampires and werepeople work side by side. Riley Jenson and her twin brother, Rhoan, have a secret: they are half vampire, half werewolf, which gives them extraordinary powers. Both are employed by the Directorate, which polices the supernatural world. Rhoan is a guardian, but Riley, wanting to keep a lower profile, is an operative. Her boss, Jack, wants to bring her into the ranks of the guardians, but she soon has her hands full when Rhoan disappears. Complicating matters is Quinn, the sexy vampire camped outside the apartment Riley shares with Rhoan, looking for Rhoan on a business matter. When Riley, Jack, and Quinn discover Rhoan's disappearance is connected to a shady company's cloning experiments, Riley isn't sure whom she can trust, especially when she learns one of her lovers may be involved in the conspiracy. Exciting fare with plenty of action, so that horror fans will eagerly anticipate the next installment in a fresh, sexy series.

All in all, I really love this book. The whole series is a favorite of mine, as is anything Keri Arthur does. I recommend this series!!! I loved the characters and the plot. It was well-paced and kept me on my toes. It has a good amount of romance and mystery and I couldn't wait for the next book. I've read all the series and am counting down the days for the newest installment in the series. Keri Arthur is a great author and one of my favorites of today!

I'd heard nothing but glowing reviews about this series, but I'm not sure. I question the use of rampant sex as a plot device outside of erotica, but I may be in the minority here. Riley is a likeable enough character, and I liked Quinn. The premise was interesting, but it did seem like Riley was either fighting for her life or having sex 95% of the time - which didn't leave a lot of time for further character development. I will read the second book though and see if it pulls me in enough to ca ...more

I find this book harder than usual to review. It is certainly very interesting but I got a little confused with the plot. Although I nailed the bad guy from the start and was unsurprised by the turn of events at the end, there was so much details offered which could be a good thing as one of the things I like in a series is unraveling secrets and categorizing those details in present and future characters. But since I'm reviewing this particular book and not it's sequel, this made me give it 3 s ...more

Full Moon Rising was a good start to a series. After finishing, I want more adventures with Riley and of course Quinn. I really liked the mystery element, and also liked that it wasn't fully completed in this book. Hopefully reading book two soon! ...more
