Title: Moon Rise
Author: Marilee Brothers
Rating: 4/5
Summary: Allie’s powers have taken a hike, she can no longer read people’s minds and move things by looking at them. Junior is gone off to Mexico to become a soap opera star (not something I’m thrilled with), however, Allie’s got enough to worry about. The evil Tri-marks are closing in, wanting to grab the moonstone necklace while she is helpless, the Starseekers need her more than ever, and there is a new guy in Allie’s life that is ready and willing to fight her battles. Oh yeah, and new hottie is a demon, always a plus right?
Review: This was an exciting follow up to Moonstone, and a wonderful continuation of Allie’s story in the Unbidden Magic series, however, my one pet peeve is that Junior got shipped away to Mexico. Sadness there. However, that sadness faded away at the introduction of the new hottie on the block, this story is filled with twists and turns that are prevalent on every page and it was hard to put down once I started it. Allie is starting to learn more about her powers, but much like her mother Faye, her grandfather will reveal nothing of what he knows, and she also has the potential to reveal secrets about her mother’s past.

Allie’s grown up quite a bit in this one, she’s growing
stronger and more mature as the story goes on, and the timid Allie has been
left behind. Brothers did a fantastic
job growing her up in this second book, allowing her to become a strong equal
in the war of good versus evil. Also, I
truly enjoyed the introduction of some new faces Beck and Nicole, the
twins. The mixture of a nun and a succubus,
with some Shaman training, that is the yummy Beck. I also liked the inclusion of Grandfather
Claude in the mix, however, saddened that he may not be around much longer, and
it did annoy me that he is as closed mouthed as Faye.
There were some questions I had about Allie and Beck’s
relationship and not understanding the reason for the “pretending” of
boyfriend/girlfriend when they were clearly both into each other. Perhaps there was something more along the
lines of Allie’s age, as she’s only fifteen and Brother’s is skirting the line
for a more realistic setting. The
message sent to young adults by having innocents discovering the opposite sex
for the first time.
I do look forward to reading more installments of this
series, this book is definitely one I would recommend along with the first,
because with this series, if you do not read them in order you will miss out on
important information.
