Problem is, Riley and her twin brother have been kicked out of the pack for being dhampire, half werewolf and half vampire, and she doesn't believe this is her problem. Now the alpha is threatening her mom in order to get her cooperation. It leads her to a club that allows humans and supernatural toA four-star rating in the middle of a 1-2 star series? Say it isn't so!I really enjoyed this book, and I think it was in large part due to the fact that the bad guys were actually trying to kill Riley, not sleep with her. (If you've read the first four books, you're probably as shocked as I am.) In fact, there was less sex in general in this book, which forces it to stand on storytelling alone... which, to Arthur's credit, it does quite well. It's also nice to see some character development.
*sigh*Perhaps I am in a reading funk. Perhaps I am not giving Arthur's last two books a fair chance. Nonetheless, I shall write my honest opinion. This book put me to sleep. Riley Jenson, a Guardian / super non-human cop who is apparently judge, jury and executioner, wiggles her way into ... or out of... the fear of commitment to Kellen, an alpha werewolf yadda yadda ...He wants to protect her. She doesn't need his protection. He wants the white picket fence. She wants to dig her fingers into
Slight spoilers ahead. I have absolutely loved this series thus far and was excited to start this book. For me, this book was a little lacking (compared to the previous books in the series). Riley finally decided to go after her dreams and try to settle down with Kellan. Kellan, rightly so, has decided that he can't continue to be second to Riley's job - a job he can't protect her from -- and that is playing havoc with the alpha wolf.Even though I'm "team Quinn", he wasn't in this book, except
Riley Jenson needs all her supernatural abilities to hunt down a particularly eerie serial killer, in Keri Arthur's Embraced by Darkness.Riley Jenson is one of the Directorate of Other Races' guardians, trained to hunt and destroy her prey. With both vampire and werewolf genes, she is mostly werewolf, but has a host of other paranormal skills: she can switch her vision to infrared, is clairvoyant, and can wrap shadows around herself. Mixing searching for a missing pack member and investigating
In the begining of the fifth installment of Keri Arthur's half werewolf, half vampire heroine, Riley Jenson, we find her chasing her tail with boredom on a forced vacation. Even the beauty of Monitor Island can't seem to calm the new huntress Riley finds rising inside her. But all the doubts and worries circling inside her are shoved aside when the Alpha of the red wolf pack shows up to get Riley to searching for a missing wolf of their pack. All the old hurts rise inside of Riley as she
People have such low standards for their heroines, it is really kind of sad. Riley does stupid stuff, treats her boyfriend like crap, and is openly disdainful to her boss. I guess that adds up to totally cool if you have super powers?I keep thinking she will start to annoy me less, but quite the opposite. Her whining about not being able to sleep with everything with a penis, her constant rudeness to everyone, and the fact that she can't think her way out of a paper bag make me crazy.The books
