Full Moon Rising by Keri Arthur
3.0



I really don't know how I felt about this book! It was super hard to rate. I went with 3 stars because there were things that I really liked and also things I really disliked, so I guess it ended up being in the middle.

I enjoyed the whole supernatural aspect of this book. The Directorate was a neat concept, they were kind of like a supernatural version of the CIA. I also thought trying to clone these different supernatural beings, or meld their DNA to make superior races, was a super interesting plot. I am curious to see how those things progress in the next book.

All that bring said, there were quite a few things that bothered me about Full Moon Rising as well. I found it rather annoying to constantly have the fact that a few of the guys in this book were multibillionaires or millionaires, thrown in my face REPEATEDLY!!! Seriously, I fully understood that by the 2nd time you said, saying it 15 more times was just excessive! Also Quinn's blatant racism towards werewolves was kind of ridiculous. I understand that a werewolf broke your, and your buddy's hearts, but condemning the whole races because of a few people's actions is absolutely ludicrous! Lastly, Riley's sex obsession was out of control. I really hope that tames down a little in future books. Even dogs in heat get tired Riley!!

There are definitely things I hope get better as the series progresses, but I did enjoy quite a few elements in this book. I will giving the next one a try and see where the story goes.
