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. I really like how she started this book. I won't give too much away but it is very well-paced and an all round fun read. Keri Arthur has her series interesting and sexy with some horror. It's everything I love in a book. 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!

This is not a great book. It's a little like porn for the ladies, lots of "down there" hormones working over time. I did like the character enough to pick up all of them, I'm in a pretty trashy mood, but not the first Urban Fantasy series I'd recommend. I do have to say her writing gets better and better as the series goes on, much less clumsy, so I'll be sticking with this series!

I liked this book, but the only reason I didn't give it more stars was because I didn't really like how the werewolves were portrayed in the story. I found it slightly annoying that the characters kept bringing up moon fever, and how they are basically slaves to lust every full moon. But I wasn't that annoyed that I didn't enjoy the book, and I will read the next one because Riley is an intriguing character.

4.5 STARS!!This is the first book Ive read of Keri Arthur and I really enjoyed this book! I loved her writing style! It was both dark and gritty and very in your face! I know a lot of people think Riley is a ho, but Im going stand my ground and say that I really liked her! Ive read plenty of Urban Fantasy books before this and not all of the heroines grabbed my attention like Riley did. She was funny, smart and unapologetically sexy! Shes a hybrid mix of vampire and werewolf, with her wolfy side a little more prominent. This fact makes her more susceptible for the moons calling. Like a succubus needs sex to survive, Riley needs sex to fight bloodlust during the full moon. But Riley isnt the only one who is a freely sexual being. Werewolves celebrate with sex and so its not so much a sex crazed thing as it is a way to survive. That being said, her twin brother Rhoan has his own love affair going on with Liander. I love these two! They are so amazing! Riley has a lot of sex in this book, but theyre short scenes that are not as explicit as I initially thought it would be, given that others called her the next Anita Blake. The only prolonged, explicit love scenes are between Riley and Quinn, her love interest. Her scenes with Talon and Misha arent as thorough and are quite short and I think they were necessary for what Arthur has planned. I dont want to spoil anything, so read it to find out! And then theres Quinn whom I just adore! He makes such a grand entrance with his dirty birthday suit! He acts like a gentleman, but Im sensing that theres more to him than meets the eye. Im interested to read more about him and Riley. I cant wait to read Kissing Sin next!

Incredibly sexy! Action packed suspense! Full Moon Rising is a crossbreeding of J.D Robb meets Anita Blake meets Mercy Thompson! This book is positively FABULOUS and I'm super excited about reading the book that is *glances to my right* waiting ever so impatiently for my sweetest attention <3This is a new author and (duh) new series for me. All of the characters are fresh in my brain ... I am being seduced by them as we speak and anxiously await the full sacrificial wave of dreams that will hopefully! ... undoubtedly! ... wake me panting o.O*grin*Full Moon Rising is the first book in the Riley Jenson Guardian series; therefore I will be giving you details about what I have come to know thus far... Even though I have noticed that at times I speak my mind .. I am proven "wrong" .. Hey it happens!Not often.But it does!Riley Jenson, a half-breed of werewolf and vampire, the twin to the badass Guardian, Rhoan ... and an erotic dancer of the moon's pull ... She is fun and awesome. I hate comparing .. But I really like this book and I'm going to try and put her into perspective for possible addicts! It's like Anita on valium .. but Mercy on X and revenge. Where does that leave us? With a woman who is sexually confident, betrayed by bastards in her life and does what is needed to .. well the means justify the end, right?She's excruciatingly lonely in a crowded room, a sad character who does not make friends easily ... this leaves her undying loyalty to a fault and somewhat blinds her to the creepy crawly asswipes lurking in the shadows with knives in their hands!There are so many wonderful characters .. Hmm. I'm not sure how to "go there" without "going there" ...spoilers suck!Skipping characters!This book takes place in the future without the J.D. Robb vroom vrooming. There are ancient vampires, although rare. There are crossbreds, although highly improbable. There is a paranormal section of the law that ... well the seek out and handle what needs handling without bothering to let the "real" world know about the bloodshed.Rhoan is kidnapped! A friend goes missing ... A vampire warned and warning Riley to keep her distance, and a handful of potential hot and dripping sexy lovers that quite honestly .. well I hope I dream about the club dance scene tonight!Laurell K. Hamilton is one of my favorite authors. Keri Arthur has excellent potential to wiggle herself onto a higher shelf (the one my toddler should never be able to reach .. cross your fingers!) where she will remain safe and sound. I have high expectations and I sincerely .. I truly hope that Kissing Sin, the second book in this series, keeps me smiling! (I'm 26 pages in and I'm already sick of this review... as it is taking time away from reading!)This book takes off with a BANG .. You do not even have to read 5 pages before being seduced into Riley's world .. She's brilliant and I'm looking forward to more. I recommend this book to mature adults only .. awesome violence scenes although not entirely too eyeball oozing worthy. Fantastic sexual content .. frequent .. descriptive .. but brief enough to allow the actual story to stay at the front row.~happy reading!
