Danger turns her on.

Desire turns her dangerous...

Riley Jenson hunts evildoers—and does it with a style all her own. With vamp blood coursing her through her veins, and a werewolf’s uncanny instinct for danger, Riley wears snakeskin stilettos and pure, in-your-face attitude when she plunges into her latest case: hunting down a killer whose victims are high-society strumpets—and the rich and powerful men they’ve dated.

But for Riley, the case takes a chilling turn when a second killer starts trailing mutilated bodies of his own: a crazed young vamp choosing victims from a past marked by tragedy. Riley knows she’s got the skill and cunning to catch two serial killers at once…until one of them strikes inside her own tight-knit clan—and a sexy beast of a vampire reenters her life to aid in the hunt. His name is Quinn. He’s lived forever, shed blood, and shared pleasure…and he’s the only man over whom Riley has absolutely no control….

Review:

"Vampire hunter Riley Jenson (Embraced by Darkness) returns to take on two serial killers: one kills high society women and the men in their lives; the other is kills seemingly unrelated people, gruesomely. Riley has her own problems: she can't sense the spirits of the dead at the murder scenes, and she's nursing a broken heart. The more investigating Riley does, the more she realizes that her brother's lover may be in danger, and the reappearance of Quinn O'Connor, a vampire that she loved and lost, complicates matters further. The paranormal Australia that Arthur concocts works perfectly, and the plot speeds along at a breakneck pace. Riley fans won't be disappointed." Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)

Review:

“The paranormal Australia that Arthur concocts works perfectly, and the plot speeds along at a breakneck pace.”—Publishers Weekly

Synopsis:

This book was a good mysterious book for my taste...

Riley is part werewolf and part vampire... she works for the Directorate to solve nonhuman murders and other things that the human police don't want to deal with...

Riley goes on a dangerous asignment to find a murder that takes the shape as a cat... and she has no idea how to find her... then there is a phyco vamp running around killing people as well...

But during her manhunt she runs into an old flame... Quinn... he is the one vampire she can't control herself around... he has done his share of lying and killing... but so has she...

This book will take you on a ride that will turn out different than you think... it had me wanting more but in the end I was satisfied...
