Once in a Full Moon (Full Moon #1) by Ellen Schreiber

Rating: 3/5
This is Book 1 on The Full Moon Series
Sequel: Magic of the Moonlight (to be released, Dec. 27, 2011)


Synopsis:
Beware of a kiss under the full moon. It will change your life forever.

Celeste Parker is used to hearing scary stories about werewolves—Legend's Run is famous for them. She's used to everything in the small town until Brandon Maddox moves to Legend's Run and Celeste finds herself immediately drawn to the handsome new student. But when, after an unnerving visit with a psychic, she encounters a pack of wolves and gorgeous, enigmatic Brandon, she must discover whether his transformation is more than legend or just a trick of the shadows in the moonlight.

Her best friends may never forgive her if she gives up her perfect boyfriend, Nash, for Brandon, who's from the wrong side of town. But she can't deny her attraction or the strong pull he has on her. Brandon may be Celeste's hero, or he may be the most dangerous creature she could encounter in the woods of Legend's Run.

Psychic predictions, generations-old secrets, a town divided, and the possibility of falling in love with a hot and heroic werewolf are the perfect formula for what happens ...once in a full moon.


Review:
finally, a book read in such a slow reading week.

I'll tell you off the bat that I read this book slower than I ever did to other books. I'm not sure which factor affected my reading speed, either my really slow reading appetite lately or the book itself. This was one of those books that I need to push or convince myself to read on what's next, not exactly those kinds that would make you sad by just putting it down. You set it aside, but no hunger or lingering thought on the story stays in my mind.

Character-wise, I must say that I'm kind of sick of the "new guy" stereotype going on. Brandon Maddox seemed different. This book somehow gave me a whole lot different view on the "new guy" stereotype. Brandon wasn't seen as cool and interesting, he was treated differently. Even his whole profile and family background wasn't the "I-live-in-a-clan" type, the author showed a better side to him instead.

as for Celeste, she reminds me of the type of girls I like: strong but can get a little dumb, courageous but has a heart, she thinks and can get a little too paranoid. But most of all, She was "relate-able" and very human.
