Rise of the Poison Moon by MaryJanice Davidson


"Jennifer's ex-boyfriend, werarachnid Skip Wilson, is out of control. His powers have grown as strong as his hunger for revenge, leaving her little choice but to confront him-hopefully without giving in to her own dark side..." (Description by Author on Amazon.com)

The description sums this book up pretty much.
This is the 5th book in the series (read previous reviews here) and I was really excited to finally dig into Rise of the Poison Moon.
The residents of Winoka are still stuck inside the Big Blue sphere, that Slider spun before his untimely death, with no way out. They have begun to turn on each other while under the attack of Skip and Andi as the rest of the world turns a blind eye. Jennifer, the Ancient Furnace, is faced with having to figure out the key to the Big Blue before it's too late and before she loses everyone she cares most about.
To be honest, this book was disappointing. I was so excited to get back into Winoka and see what had developed. Unfortunately this book really missed the mark. It seemed there was so much time spent in plot development that the writers forgot all about the Characters and their personalties. The Characters fell flat compared to previous books and even the storyline here seemed uneventful right up to the very end of the book.
I love the first 4 books in the Series and do hope that this 5th book was just a fluke. I am looking forward to seeing another book in the Series and the ending of this one did leave a little more to develop.

Jennifer Scales Series by MaryJanice Davidson & her husband Anthony

I think this series topped everything I've read of MJD's!

It's only four books (so far.. news from http://www.jenniferscales.com/ says more books are coming soon) but MAN what books they are.

Book One: Jennifer Scales and the Ancient Furance: "Jennifer Scales is a 14 year old girl. Her mom is a doctor and her father is a workaholic who is off on business trips routinely. She thinks she has a 'normal' family and finds out she has no idea what 'normal' means. Her world is shaken up when she learns her fathers (and now her) secret... He is a Weredragon and so is she. With the help of her parents and grandfather she is learning about her inner dragon.. an 'illness' is what is being told to her friends and outsiders.. as she dissappears at the time of the Crescent moon. The moon that makes her change. The plot thickens when her father is kidnapped and the people around her can no longer be trusted.. or can they?"

The following books just get better and better. Book Four Seraph of Sorrow is my favorite out of the series thus far and I really enjoyed how they worked the book into the telling of the story from different characters perspective that still drove on the story without any weird hiccups. GAH! Book Five.. come out NOW! I want to know what happens next!!

Even though this is a YA series (hey sometimes I'm a YA at heart!) I really enjoyed these books. How can you not? Teens alone are entertaining with their mood swings and unique points of view but a Weredragon teen? A whole other set of problems arise! If you can't talk to your friends about such a huge change.. who can you talk to? Can you imagine?


As usual MJD and co-author, her husband Anthony, deliver an excellent, well written book series.

Now.. I just have to wait.. gosh I hate waiting. July 27th come on!
Reading order is as follows:
 
Book One: Jennifer Scales and the Ancient Furance
Book Two: Jennifer Scales and the Messenger of Light
Book Three: Jennifer Scales and the Silver Elm
Book Four: Seraph of Sorrow
Book Five: Rise of the Poison Moon out July 27th!
