Review: Bad Moon Rising

This is the 26th Dark Hunter book by Sherrilyn Kenyon and the story of Fang and Aimee.

Book Blurb:

Trouble’s on the rise in Sherrilyn Kenyon’s Dark-Hunter universe as war erupts among the lycanthropes, blood is spilled, and alliances are forged…and broken. In the middle of the chaos is Fang, a ferocious werewolf who lives to stalk his prey and rejoice in the kill. The quintessential lone wolf, he walks alone, asking for nothing—and expecting to get it. It has been said that behind him is the trail of a million broken hearts, from women who tried to tame him and failed.

But today is different. Today is the day he meets Aimee Peltier of the Bear clan, the one woman whose touch can shake him to his core. In the world of the Were-Hunters, like stays with like, species don’t mix, and they definitely don’t fall in love. But not so for Aimee. From the moment she sees Fang, all these conventions are tossed aside, and their passion is the stuff of legend. But times are dark, and there’s a bad moon rising on her and her mate. When Aimee is accused of treachery, Fang is her only hope. And to save her, he must break the law of his people and the faith of his powerful brothers, an act that could very well spell the end of the Were-Hunters and change the world forever….

I loved this book.

Bad Moon Rising is so very sad - but wonderful. LOL I can't believe the heart ache both Fang and Aimee must go through before they get their HEA. But they do get it, in the end. :)

This Dark Hunter world that Ms. Kenyon has created is absolutely endless. We were introduced to even more individuals in Dark Moon Rising that Ms. Kenyon can write about in the future and I must say that I am very interested in knowing more of three of them. :)

Simi made an appearance and I just love the Simi. :)

I guess for me, the only spot that makes me pause and go 'what' is that this book is set in 2003. I know Ms. Kenyon writes her books with more than one story going on at a time - but it just threw me for a minute when a character was mentioned that I know was killed a few books back. Other than that, everything was smooth. :)

I give this book and the entire series 5 out of 5 stars and look forward to the next installment. :)
