Full Moon Rising by Keri Arthur
Jun. 15th, 2011 12:02 amThe Blurb On The Back:
A rare hybrid of vampire and werewolf, Riley Jenson and her twin brother, Rhoan, work for Melbourne’s Directorate of Other Races, an organisation created to police the supernatural races – and protect humans from their depredations. While Rhoan is an exalted guardian, a.k.a. assassin, Riley is merely an office worker – until her brother goes missing on one of his missions. The timing couldn’t be worse. More werewolf than vampire, Riley is vulnerable to the moon heat, the weeklong period before the full moon, when her need to mate becomes all-consuming …
Luckily Riley has two willing partners to satisfy her every need. But she will have to control her urges if she’s going to find her brother …
( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )
The Verdict:
Although this is supposed to be a paranormal romance about a strong, sexy, ass-kicking heroine, I found the main character to be too dominated by her sexual impulses and her vulnerability and at times, wilful blindness to that fact a little irritating. The plot itself is contrived and hung together by pounding sex scenes that did little for me. All in all, this wasn’t my thing and I won’t be reading on.
