Search - Dangerous Games (Riley Jenson, Guardian, Bk 4)

Still a great story but I'll be taking a break before I finish the series. I was left disappointed by the end of this book, not with the story but with a specific action. I don't want to ruin this so I won't mention a name but one character did something that I would not believe the person capable of. I feel it was an attempt to add conflict between two people and not true to the character that was created.

I'm going to review the first four books of this series as a "set" since they contain a world story arc that carries through them and most readers will prefer to have all four on hand before starting the series. This is the fourth book in the Riley Jenson Guardian series, which are paranormal romances set in Melbourne, Australia. Arthur does an excellent job of balancing the paranormal and the romance elements of the story and, while the moon cycle sexual responses of the werewolves echo a bit of LKH's "ardeur", Arthur pulls it off much more smoothly. The paranormal elements are well thought out with a few nice twists to standard mythos. Characters are well drawn, though a bit unbelievably perfect at times. Each book does have a standalone plot with a satisfying conclusion, but as I mentioned, there is a "world arc" that carries through all four books.

I really enjoyed this series, and can't wait for it to continue. The whole half vamp half were for the herione is pretty good. I will definately be looking for more by Keri Arthur.

This is an action-packed book as were the previous by Keri Arthur. While the books are probably more exciting when read in order, you can really pick up any book and be able to jump right into the story. A really terrific read. I usually read them in one day! Cannot put them down!

Wonderful book. Can't wait to read more!

I was expecting sci-fi fantasy when i bought this series, the truth is this is sci-fi romance. If that is what you are looking for then you will be most pleased!
