‘Riley Jenson Guardian’ series Book #5

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 demans 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 begun…

Review: I actually liked this one better than the last one. More compelling, there was more to the novel than just sex – so unlike the last one.

This one has a few twists. The investigation was a little more complex as well, and won’t leave the reader feeling unfulfilled. Same characters, some that just piss you off, and I felt really bad for Riley at the end of the novel. You’ll see what I mean when you read it.
