Bad Moon Rising by Kenyon was so disappointing. The biggest flaw for me was the lack of continuity in the narrative and the immense amount of back story that wasn't explained.
Anyone new to the series would be completely lost. As it was, I struggled to remember what happened to which character when. And given that this book takes place concurrently with several other books in the series, it gets quite confusing.
Things I enjoyed:
I was very happy to see another were-hunter book. I'm not a fan of her Dream Hunter books, so this was a welcome change.
I was happy that a secondary character in so many other books was finally granted his own story.
I liked the inclusion of another level of hunting: Thorn, specifically.
The physical relationship between Aimee and Fang was terrific. They don't truly hook up until the very end--something that's unusual these days for most romances.
Things I hated:
The time jumps without any clue on the chapter pages that time was passing
The deep back story that was needed to understand the plot.
I didn't find Aimee's sudden penchant for Daimon hunting to be believable. Nor was the fact that no one seemed to notice?
Overall, it was tolerable (barely), but I couldn't help feeling that this one could have benefited from another hundred pages. It felt too choppy and too pared down.
