Book Description:
Part vamp, part werewolf, Riley Jenson plays by her own rules, whether it's her stormy love life or her job as a guardian. But when her family's alpha male demands that she solve the mystery of a vanished girl, Riley can feel a trap closing in around her. Because the job comes with a catch: if Riley fails, her own mother will die.

Now the stakes are raised, the hunt is on... and when more women vanish, Riley is caught between a lover who demands that she give up her work, a serial killer who knows no boundaries, and a club where humans and supernaturals mix -at their own peril. Thrust into a realm of seduction and violence unlike any she could have imagined, Riley has to battle to save everything she holds dear. But the ultimate hunt has only just begun...

Great book, most sets that have more then two books to it kind of get redundent well this set dose not. It just gets better and better.

Riley's life is very chaotic. In this new book she has 2 cases to solve. One where an evil soul needs to be stopped & one where there are wealthy female wolves are being killed. In the meantime she & Kellan are still together & trying to stay that way. Will her job get in the way? This is another great story in this series. Riley just wants to be a normal wolf but can't because of the drugs someone gave her. She of course finds lots of trouble and this time her mothers safety is involved as the pack that banished her & Rhoan comes calling. Can't wait for the next one.

A wonderful start to a new paranormal romance series, I found myself surprised with how much I liked this book. While parts of it I found daunting because they were given in excess (I'm all for unapologetic sex scenes but, really, how does one do anything _other than lay on ones back when you have to have that much sex?), I found the overall storyline quite engaging and refreshing. It's nice to see a female lead character that isn't given to bouts of weeping or unnecessary vengefulness but perhaps that's just me!

This Riley (& company)are hunted by something that no one has any knowledge about. I won't give away the secret, but Keri Arthur is really making her books more involved.

Another great installment of the Riley Jensen series. I love this character. SHe is tough but still in touch with her emotions. She struggles with the violence in her life and doesn't become detached completely.
My only complaint? The next installment isn't even being listed yet!!!

I had read the first one of this series, but wasn't pleased with the amount of sex in the story. I already had this one, too, so I thought I'd give this author another try. She is just as good a writer as before, but the graphic sex is even worse than the first book---a LOT worse! She teases us with an excellent story trying to happen around a book full of X-rated sex scenes. This author's work belongs in Erotica, or an adult bookstore.

I think this was typical for this series, it was a pretty good and fast read and I enjoyed it. Of course a major issue comes up the end, now I am anxiously awaiting the next book in the series.

By far the best one so yet, but I have 2 more to go. Riley is maturing nicely and this was a great read.
