Book Description:
In Melbourne's urban underworld, there's a nightclub for every fantasy and desire. But for Riley Jenson, one such club has become an obsession. Riley, a rare hybrid of vampire and werewolf, hasn't come in pursuit of pleasure but of an unknown killer who's been using the steamy nightspot as his hunting grounds.

Leave it to Riley to find the only ticket into the heavily guarded club: Jin, a deliciously hot-bodied bartender who might just provide the key to unmasking a killer unlike any other in the Directorate's experience. Taunted by a former colleague turned rogue, distracted by an ex-lover's attentions, Riley follows Jin into a realm of pleasure she could never have imagined. And as danger and passion ignite, a shocking mystery begins to unrave--—one where Riley herself becomes the ultimate object of desire....

Still a great story but I'll be taking a break before I finish it. I was left disappointed by the end of this book, not with the story but with a specific character. I don't want to ruin this so I won't mention a name but one character did something that I would not believe him capable of.

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.

An ancient dark god of death and darkness is summoned. Riley has yet to fully accepted her job as a guardian (killing on command, using sex as a means of getting information) while trying to hold on to that piece of herself that makes her unique. To save just one, and cause the death of many has her perplexed. Her relationship with Quinn has reached a standstill. I can’t wait to see what develops between her and Kellen (the wolf) now that he has her full attention, at least, at the end of this novel.
I enjoy the plot line in each of the Riley Jenson novels but the first couple of books in the series were my favorite. Keri Arthur is a great writer and I like how she keeps trying to develop the characters. It seems to me that the indecision on about Riley wanting to not fully embrace her role as a Guardian may cost her someone she loves.

Note: No Australian jargon or slang are used despite the name "Melbourne". I received this as a gift and didn't finish it - not my cup of tea but it might well be yours

#4 and they just get better and better. Riley has quite the life. Should she choose Kellan or Quinn? She has to battle Gautier and something even more evil this time. Can't wait for the next one.
