This book was put on hold for a very looong time, I misplaced it and finally got the urge to look for it since Smut Slut Fest is about to happen and I saw Tigris_Eden and Larissa_Sarah talking about it on Twitter or they might have suggested to me or I might have seen it on their blog or all of the scenarios mentioned. So I thought what the heck, it is time to give werewolves a chance. I favor vampires greatly, there's something about changing into something fury makes them less attractive to me, but the sex scene, I will now agree that the vamps got nothing on the weres. While book 4 keeps me entertained, I was thrown in to confusion, the anceint gods of darkness did not appeal to me very well. I did however appreciate the horrors that they portray bdsm till you die is what they crave for. Talk about the highest level of carnal pleasure, I don't think anyone can top that. The dhampire nature of Riley still draws me to this series, and Arthur made sure that I never forget. I wish she would lose the repetitive phrases everytime Riley feels the unwanted desire she feels. I get it alreay she is a werewolve and that is part of her and even when her life is at stake she couldn't help on what she is. On the romance side. Quinn is beginning to irritate me, seriously when is his male ego and stupid werewolf issues going to end? While I am all about Team Quinn, for Riley's sake I think she should give Kellen a chance on the next book. Is that the case? Wait don't answer that. I'll start reading now... ( )

The Riley Jensen books are usually something I turn to when I have absolutely nothing else to read. However, Dangerous Games turned out to be a very pleasant surprise. After book 3 (which was almost too ridiculous for words), I had extremely low expectations for book 4, and wasn't even sure I could make it through. However, Arthur really came through. The storyline itself was much more meaty, which made the novel more interesting and satisfying to follow. I felt like Arthur found a nice balance between plot and "romance," andDangerous Games really held my interest until the end.

I really like this series. Heroine is half werewolf/half vampire. It takes place in Melbourne, Australia. Good sex scenes. ( )

Good series. ( )

I honestly think 'Dangerous Games' is the best of the series so far. The fight with Gautier seemed too drawn out. Even though Quinn is one of my favorite characters, I love how things ended with him. Makes me eager to find out what Riley will do in the next book. ( )

Some of the hottest sex so far. I loved the case that they had to solve and the new caraters that were brought into Riley's story. I am heart broken abouth Riley and Quinn but I think that we haven't heard the from him. ( )

I love Riley's character, and I can't wait to read the next one. I do hope that she works out things with Quinn though, because I will always like him better than Kellen or Kade or any of them. ( )

This book largely wraps up loose ends - Gautier for example, and a resolution (probably not a final resolution, but a resolution at least) to the Quinn situation.

It sees Riley growing into her role as a guardian and starting to enjoy some of the aspects of it. It sees a new direction in the sense of different evils: in this case an ancient god of death, despair and fear, and an exploration into heavy kinky sex, although this is again skipped over to some extent, and the kinky sex is *very* heavy and tied to the evil god and his disciples.

This is going to sound odd, but having read several of them in short order, I'm reminded of a slight more horror and less sex version of Anita Blake. The fact that Riley is very happy about lots of sex is too much of a reaction to Anita's early prudish attitude and also her rather talky attitude in the later books. That said, it's still a good romp. ( )

Another good episode in the series. Women are being are being skinned alive and the Directorate want to find out what is going on. Really looking forward to the next one. ( )

More of the same really with this one. Lots of sex - very, very dark sex in fact! - and a little bit of biffo and not a lot of plot to hold it all together. A shame, as I think that there is a world of potential in the character of Riley and the skills that Keri Arthur has given her. With a bit more depth and exploration of character, and a little less titillation this series could have been great. That said, I had the wrong attitude going in to this novel and probably wouldn't have bothered to read it at all if I hadn't bought it a few weeks ago as an ebook. ( )
