Product Description
Book Description
A stunning and suspenseful new landscape emerges in the thrilling Dark-Hunter world - a world where nothing will ever be the same again
Product Description
Fang Kattalakis isn't just a wolf. He is the brother of two of the most powerful members of the Omegrion: the ruling council that enforces the laws of the Were-Hunters. And when war erupts among the lycanthropes, sides must be chosen. Enemies are forced into shaky alliances. When Aimee, the woman Fang loves, is accused of betraying her people, her only hope is that Fang believes in her. Yet in order to save her, Fang must break the law of his people and the faith of his brothers. That breech could very well spell the end of both their races and change their world forever.

My favourites in the Dark Hunter series are the Wren and Vane stories, so I've been waiting with enthusiasm for Fang's story (he and Aimee are the inter-species Romeo and Juliet of the Dark Hunter world!). The day before 'Bad Moon Rising' arrived, I reread Fury's short story to bring me up to date with the wolves. Ho hum, there wasn't much point. I'll explain...
I can understand that we need to see Fang and Aimee's side of previous stories. However, as the book progressed I began to read faster and faster. When was I going to get to something new? In retrospect I should have read slower (so that's my warning to you!) because we only read about the 'present day' (in terms of the Dark Hunter storyline) in the very last section of the book. Everything else is just a rehash apart from one interesting section. It's not giving anything away to say that this section concerns another realm (don't worry, it's far more interesting than more Greek god stuff!)and we're introduced to an intriguing new character: Thorn (an Archeron replacement in terms of interest?). I'm sure we'll be seeing a lot more of Thorn (hope so).
After finishing the book I'm left with the feeling, 'so what'? If you're a Dark Hunter fan then of course you have to read this book and it's perfectly readable (apart from the rushed writing which gives the characters things like an 'evil smile', followed on the next page by an 'evil laugh' - I'm getting used to this in Kenyon's later books and it's one reason I've stopped automatically buying all her books). However, the book could have been so much better. This is the first time we've had a bear as a main character, but to be honest you wouldn't know it apart from a liking for honey and the way the cubs's room is decorated (plus a little bear left on Aimee's pillow - cute). I don't even know what Aimee looks like as a bear (OK, she's foremost a human, but the bear must still be part of her character). And that's what is wrong for me with this story - it lacks depth. So much more could have been made of the struggle in their relationship and discovering the differences between the species (in Kelly Armstrong's books her wolves are truly wolves).
Perhaps 70% of the book is a rehash of past (and better) stories and the characterisation is a bit muddled (I think there are far too many 'clever' remarks and ALL the characters make them, not just the characters where it's part of their characterisation, so what is meant to be clever or funny just falls flat and distracts).
Therefore I suggest reading and enjoying, but don't expect too much so you're not disappointed. Plus don't rush the reading to get to something 'new' - there's not much of that so just enjoy what's there (I rushed too much and I'm therefore confused by Varyk and puzzled and irritated with Maman Bear's character - I should reread but I'm not convinced I can be bothered, which is very unlike me). By the way, before you give me a 'not helpful' for not raving about Sherrilyn Kenyon's book, please note I'm a fan, albeit a disappointed fan who lately has become more disappointed with the publication of each new book, but I haven't given up.

There is little to differentiate now between SK's Dark, Were and Dream Hunters, as the plots intertwine between all the series, plus the Were and Dream Hunter books are now as action packed and as frenziedly paced as their Dark Hunter counterparts. Starting in 2003 and moving up to events which occurred in the last paperback release "Dream Warrior", I liked how this book ran in conjunction with other stories that I already knew the outcome of. That said, I was hoping to learn more of Nick; however he is barely mentioned in "Bad Moon Rising".
Fans of this author's Hunter series will not be left disappointed by this book. The chemistry between bear shape shifter Aimee and wolf shifter Fang has been brewing for quite a while and at last SK lets them take the lead. Of course the path to true love is never easy in SK's sexy paranormal world, so why would Aimee and Fang's adventure be any different? True to form, there are not only racial issues to be dealt with as Aimee's familial obligation to produce a pure blood heir is highly unlikely if Fang is her mate, there are also death threats, demon attacks, sacrifices made and the interference of a brand new character who is yet to be determined as good or evil. I eagerly look forward to learning more of Thorn and his interesting heritage, which hopefully will be revealed in the next Hunter book scheduled for release in August 2010. Dev (Aimee's older brother) will find himself matched to Sam (the Amazon Dark-huntress who hates men) in "Scars and Souvenirs". For equally eager fans check out this brief posting on SK's website:
"See what happens when a Were mixes with a Dark-Hunter. The Daimons are back and the DH learn their new secret. Things with Nick heat up and Thorn returns with an explosive meeting between him and Jaden. Sparks fly as rules aren't broken. They're shattered."

Since being introduced to this series last year, through Amazon recommendations, I've read (sometimes late into the night) every single one. Lately though, I have felt something missing. I pre-ordered this book with some hesitation, wondering if it would come up to scratch against earlier books, such as "Night Embrace" or "Dance with the Devil",
It falls far, far short. I wish Ms Kenyon would take a good long look at the list of characters she has created and realize that some of them seem to have undergone a complete and for me, wholly unwelcome personality change. The whole thing now feels rushed and a bit messy. I hate to say it, but it has the feel of a money making scheme, with stories hashed together in the least possible time and hurried of to the publishers with no real thought being given to loyal fans of the series and their love for the characters she has created. I'm afraid after this book Ms Kenyon will not be getting any more advance orders from me. I've struggled to read it, putting it down time and time again. This is not one for the keepers shelf."Bad moon rising" more like "Bad book writing".
