The Riley Jensen series just keeps getting better with every book. I cried at the end. A lot of women die in this book. The ARC1-23 drug is still changing Riley, and the changes are getting bigger. Kellen wants to go solo with Riley, but, will she go solo with him? (

This book was very good. I love Riley's character, which is why the ending was so sad. I missed Quinn, because while I know that he's not great for her, they do love eachother... or at least, she loves him. I'll be happy to see what happens in the next one. (

The range of baddies continues to expand - this time a double investigation that seems at points to cross-over. We have insane human hunters and ghosts this time, plus more on Riley's history as she is approached by wolves from her former pack.

The story of Riley's lovelife continues to be tumultuous, even as, in fact because, she develops more and more confidences as a guardian. The whacky drugs also extend their effects.

The politics of acceptance and intolerance of gay and lesbian behaviours gets a sort of side-swipe mention too. (

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 055358961X, Mass Market Paperback)

She's hunting a killer—
and shattering every boundary—
she's ever known.…

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....
