Moon Sworn (Riley Jenson, Guardian, Book 9) by Keri Arthur

 

I'm quite sad that Moon Sworn was the final Riley Jensen book. I was hoping for an ending that put a nice neat ending to it, but I'm sad to say that I can only call the ending... satisfactory.

It's not a bad ending, it's a fine way to end the series. But I was really hoping for more. Perhaps it's expected that we'll read the next series, which will have Risa (Dia's daughter) as the main character. That series is supposed to focus more on the Aedh and demons, which may be why we learned a few things about Quinn in this book that seemed like extraneous pieces of information.

Since the offshoot series will be set in the same world and it seems likely will revolve around Riley to some extent since Dia and Riley are friends and since Quinn may end up teaching Dia... I'm guessing that we'll get to peak in on Riley and Quinn, Rhoan and Liander, and the rest of the crew. With that in mind, perhaps the ending might be more than satisfactory, since it's not so much of an ending.

Still, I find myself a bit disappointed with Moon Sworn. There were periods of time where Riley is separate from the rest of the cast, and I wanted to see more of them, too. It was a quick read, and the pacing was okay. One of the plots was mostly as expected, with a twist thrown in, and a coincidence within the twist that stretched the boundaries of believability just a bit for me. (I know, I'm speaking in code, but I don't want to give spoilers).

I'm going to give Moon Sworn an 8 of 10, and I'll end the series as a 9 of 10.

Bound to Shadows (Riley Jensen, Guardian, Book 8) by Keri Arthur

I've been waiting for Bound to Shadows since I finished Deadly Desire back in March.

I love this series. The worldbuilding, the depth of characters, the plots - it's all good.

That being said, the plot in this one felt like we'd done it before. Not what was going on in Riley's life, that part was new and very interesting. The crime portion of the plot just felt familiar.

But there were enough other things going on that it's okay that the plot took a backseat in the action, though.

I've mentioned before that part of what I've enjoyed about this series is watching Riley grow and learn and adapt to the things that life throws her. And life has thrown a lot at her. This book opened up a whole lot of plot points for future books, and I'm anxious to see where Keri Arthur takes things next.

Bound to Shadows was one of those books that, when I finished it, I closed it and just sat there for about fifteen minutes. It affected me in several ways. I'm really glad I re-read Deadly Desire before reading Bound to Shadows, and I'm wondering if I shouldn't start over at book one next year before Moon Sworn comes out. I think I may know what's going to happen, based on the title. But I'm not sure, and it's hard to believe things are going to go there this soon. But, after the events of Bound to Shadows, perhaps it might be time. Or, perhaps it may be necessary.


Here is the blurb for Bound to Shadows:

In the darkness, demons come out to play . . .
and someone must bring their sins to light.

Part vampire, part werewolf, Riley Jenson knows what can happen when vamps don’t play well with others. But she’s never seen anything like this: a series of brutal murders surrounding the latest hot spot for vampire-human hookups—and the victims aren’t just killed, they’re beheaded. Now Riley is launching into action, toying with a seductive—and highly suspicious—club owner, and finding herself in the middle of another mystery: women being killed one by one, without a trace of violence.

For Riley, solving multiple cases—in a world going mad with human and vampire passions—would have been tough enough. Instead she has two jealous lovers on her hands: Kye Murphy, the amber-eyed werewolf who makes Riley’s wolf blood howl—and Quinn, the cool, elegant vamp who has over a thousand years’ experience at fulfilling women’s desires. While she’s busy juggling these two sexy beasts, Riley’s detective work takes a stunningly violent turn. Finding a murderer is now a matter of life and death. Especially since the killer has long since found her . . .

The next book in the series is called Moon Sworn, you can see the cover at Keri Arthur's website. I believe it is due in May, even though I think that's too long to wait.

I'm going to give Bound to Shadows a 9 of 10, and I'm keeping the series at a 10 of 10. I believe that this book gives the author several plot points to move forward with, but I also believe that Bound to Shadows is a transition book, the book that moves the series off into a new direction.

Deadly Desire (Riley Jensen, Guardian, Book 7) by Keri Arthur

This review has no major spoilers for the book being reviewed, but if you haven't read books one through six in this series then there are spoilers in this review for those earlier books.

Kerry Arthur has once again written an incredible book. This book gets a 1o of 10. Excellent plot, excellent camaraderie with friends and coworkers, and excellent, uh, well, I guess I can't say that last part since I don't want to give spoilers.

When I made it to the end of Deadly Desire I immediately went to the computer to see when the next book will be out: October 27th of this year. Seven months. There was good closure on this book, so I can live with that. I mean, sure, I want to know what happens next. But, there were no cliffhangers, and I am very happy. 10 out of 10, happy.

Where do I start with the actual review? How about I start with the blurb:

Guardian Riley Jenson always seems to face the worst villains. And this time’s no different. For it’s no ordinary sorceress who can raise the dead to do her killing. But that’s exactly what Riley expects to find at the end of a trail of female corpses used—and discarded—in a bizarre ritual of evil. With pressure mounting to catch one fiend, another series of brutal slayings shocks the vampire world of her lover, Quinn. So the last thing Riley needs is the heat of the upcoming full moon bringing her werewolf hormones to a boil—or the reappearance of a sexy bounty hunter, the rogue wolf Kye Murphy.

Riley has threatened Murphy with arrest if he doesn’t back off the investigation, but it’s Riley who feels handcuffed by Kye’s lupine charm. Torn between her vamp and wolf natures, between her love for Quinn and her hots for Kye, Riley knows she’s courting danger and indulging the deadliest desires. For her hunt through the supernatural underworld will bring her face-to-face with what lurks in a darkness where even monsters fear to tread.

I figured some of the plot points out before Riley did, but that's okay. It wasn't the annoying "how dumb can you be?" kind of thing where I figured it out and she was clueless. It was just me putting two and two together a step or two before she did.

Riley is in her moon heat during a portion of the book, but there isn't as much sex in this book as there has been in the previous books that took place during the week leading up to the full moon. This book is mostly about 1) the two serial murder cases, 2) Riley and Quinn working towards making a relationship work (both of them working at it this time, which was a nice thing to see) and 3) Riley having to deal with Kye showing up when she's tracking down leads.

Deadly Desires picks up a few weeks after the end of the previous book, so Riley and Quinn haven't gotten too much farther along the relationship path than they were at the end of The Darkest Kiss.

As for Kye... do you remember Kye? The bodyguard working for the packleader and his son back in Embraced by Darkness? Well, this time around Riley finds herself trying to get Kye off of the serial murder case without having to arrest him. It looks like this is going to be yet another series with a killer-for-hire type in it. There is Edward in the Anita Blake series, Cormac in the Kitty Norville series, and now Riley Jenson has Kye. The whole will-kill-for-money thing makes for an interesting character, that's for sure. Maybe that's why Kelley Armstrong decided to create a series based around contract killers.

As usual for the Riley Jenson Guardian series, Deadly Desire has a fair amount of blood and gore and body parts not attached to a body, though not as bad (or as disgusting) as in some of the previous books in this series. In the "mythical creatures" rundown we see the hellhounds again, and there are sorcerers again, and zombies.

We again see a decent amount of Cole and his crew, and the light banter that I love so much between Riley and Cole is still there. I actually hope those two can eventually become friends.

There are even a few friendly words between Sal (Jack's assistant) and Riley. Which was nice, because their constant bickering in past books was beginning to get on my nerves.

Kade the stallion is around a little, though not much. Mostly office chit chat. Same with Iktar the spirit lizard, but less chit chat. Come to think of it, there isn't a whole lot of Rhoan and Liander, either, just a few conversations here and there.

I've talked before about how the great thing about a series (for me) is being able to watch the characters grow and change and learn. I've truly enjoyed watching Riley change from the liaison we met in Full Moon Rising to the full fledged Guardian we see in Deadly Desire. It's not just the transition from liaison to Guardian, though. Much of her growth has happened on a personal level, and I really don't want to have to wait another 7 months to find out what happens next. At this point I'm really just happy I don't have to wait a whole year, though.

I'm giving Deadly Desire a 10 of 10 and I'm elevating the series to a 10 of 10 as well.

Review: The Darkest Kiss (Riley Jensen, Guardian, Bk 6) by Keri Arthur

I'm sad that this is the last published book in the series. I have to wait another five months for the next book.

Book six starts with Riley dealing with her broken heart and learning to fly. Oh, and chasing down bad guys. This book is pretty much nonstop action. She stops for coffee a few times, but that's pretty much it.

There was actually a good deal of completion in this book, but I won't spoil what happens. 

The Darkest Kiss doesn't have them wondering into a palace with sadistic games, or sneaking into over-the-top-BDSM clubs, so there is none of that. The two murder plots are pretty rough though, with lots of gore and violence. And a few new mythical creatures.

I hope that the author doesn't continue to use that as a plot device, the "I thought those were only a legend" mythical creature thing that no one at the Directorate has ever had to deal with before. The last two books have been full of them. On the one hand it's nice to see myth's come to life, on the other hand, I think doing so every book will become too predictable.

I won't talk too much about Riley's romantic life. She has to deal with what happened in the last book and figure out whether she can risk her heart again. There is very little sex in this book.

Riley and those close to her are still growing and changing and figuring life out. I can't wait to see what happens in the next book. I just wish I didn't have to wait so long for it to be released.

I'm giving The Darkest Kiss an 8 of 10. The series remains a 9 of 10

Review: Embraced by Darkness (Riley Jensen, Guardian, Bk 5) by Keri Arthur

We learn more of Riley and Rhoan's past in this book. The Alpha of her pack, who just happens to be the man who once threw Riley from a cliff, demands that Riley and her brother track down the Alpha's granddaughter, who has gone missing. Riley only agrees to do so when she's told her mother will be killed if she does not.

I was a bit disappointed that we come into the story five weeks after the last book ended and we are told that the first three weeks were spent on an island with Kellen. I mean, I wanted to see some of that. Not all of it, of course, but a little glimpse wouldn't have hurt. But, I got over it.

And once Riley starts on the case and things start happening there isn't much time to think about that, anyway. It just seemed a bit of a teaser to tell us it happened and not let us see any of it.

There are some difficult to read parts of this book. Parts that, if it were a movie, would have me hiding behind my husband's shoulder. Riley has been in some pretty rough spots before, but this one had my adrenaline going more than some of the other books.  

As for growth of the characters, Riley has another skill present itself, something else she got from the ARCI-23. Something that can only be called A Very Big Deal. 

I won't say much about the romance in the book, other than to say we end on a bit of a cliffhanger.  All of the plots of the book get tied up, but her love life... not so much.

This was an enjoyable book to read. The plot was good, and I enjoyed learning more about Riley and Rhoan's childhood. We don't learn much that we didn't already know, but we learn some details, and we get to watch Riley and Rhoan both deal with the memories and emotions that come up. Also, Riley has to deal with one of her phobias head on in this book. Not something I'd have ever wished for her, but it works out in the end. And she's now stronger than she was before.

I'm giving Embraced by Darkness a 9 of 10.  The series remains a 9 of 10

Review: Dangerous Games (Riley Jensen, Guardian, Bk 4) by Keri Arthur

This series just gets better and better. This might be the best book yet.

We knew from the last book that this book would have Riley facing off against Gautier, so it's no surprise when he shows up. Or, it wasn't for me, anyway.

But the way the author makes it happen, the plot around this story, the way Riley has to face off against him, deal with him, was very entertaining.

This book takes us into some serious BDSM, but not really my brand of BDSM since I don't get into the whole bleeding thing, so the BDSM didn't really do anything for me. As far as the darkness factor though, we don't witness anything happening that compares to the rape scene from the previous book, I don't think. Worse stuff happens, but we don't witness it.

One bad point, something I didn't really like: I'm not thrilled with the premise of an evil being who feeds off fear being the one doing the pain-giving. I mean, sure, in the world of BDSM the Tops or Doms or Masters or whatever they want to call themselves do get off on the giving of pain, just as the bottoms/sub/slaves get off on the receiving of it. But that doesn't make anyone bad, much less evil. Now, doing it on someone who doesn't want the pain, sure, I'll agree to that being bad and evil. But in a consensual situation, not so much. Of course, some (not all) of the scenes in the book were of dubious consent, but I can't really explain that part without spoiling, so I won't. At any rate, I suppose that's a thought process for another day. We'll just say I wasn't thrilled with the demonisation of the type of person who would gain enjoyment on pain that is completely consensual.

But other than that little sticking point, the rest of the book worked for me. And I will also admit that if you're going to have an emotional vampire type thing running around out there, someone who feeds off of emotions, then having a BDSM Top feeding off of the pain he inflicts was a good plot device. And that's not a spoiler, because I figured it out way before anyone explained it in the book. I knew from the first bit of pain he inflicted.

As for Riley's romantic life, I am once again pleased with the decision she is making. I can see myself making very similar decisions about who to keep in my personal life and who to completely boot out of it. I won't give away more than that, I'll just say that Riley does seem to have her head very well placed on her shoulders when it comes to deciding who to keep in her romantic life.

There was a little more sex in this book, though I don't think we got the play by play as much as we have in the past. This book takes place as they are getting close to the full moon, but not fully into the time when she starts being ruled by it. The timing is just close enough to ramp Riley's libido up with practically nothing needed, which actually helped her out a great deal on this case.

And, as for her moral code, she's still worrying about it a good deal. Yes, she kills again, but she doesn't do it easily. And it's a case of killing this person who is bad so that they can't kill innocents anymore. And even at that, it's not easily done. She's still not the killing machine she's afraid of being turned into. I like that about her. Yes, she's going to have to kill in her job, but she's not going to do it if it goes against her moral code.

She also has a potential new guy come into play in this book. Nothing happens, and in fact he obviously doesn't like her, but I think that's because he thinks she's like the other guardians, nothing more than a hired killer. If he ever figures out differently (and I'm guessing he will) then his attitude towards her might change.

This book did what I love for books in a series to do: we see Riley growing and experiencing life. The book has it's own plot, but in the process of that plot we see Riley coming into her abilities as a guardian, being more confident with her job, and figuring out what to do with the men in her life. Riley has grown a great deal since that first book, and I've enjoyed watching her do so.

We also learn more about some of the secondary characters. There is still more to learn about many of them, but we are slowly getting more and more information about them. And I can't wait to keep reading to find out even more. I like some of the secondary characters as much as I like Riley. Even when I'm aggravated with their actions.

I'm giving Dangerous Games a 10 of 10. And the series is now up to a 9 of 10

Review: Tempting Evil (Riley Jensen, Guardian, Bk 3) by Keri Arthur

I finished this book late last night. Later than I intended, but this was one I couldn't put down at midnight when I only needed another hour to finish the book. I'll be dragging at work today, but that's okay. It was worth it.

The third book in the series did not disappoint. At all.

The premise of this book is that they've finally found the ringleader of all of the labs, but not the final lab. The ringleader brings in women to fight nude, with the winner of the fights being given huge payment incentives. Also, the winner has to spend the evening being further entertainment for his sex crazed lieutenants. Guess where Riley is going to go undercover?

But before she goes undercover we see a bit of her training, and we see a little of how her love life has gone in the two months since the end of the last book. And we see that she's still not going to compromise her own hopes and dreams in order to make someone else happy.

I also like that she's sticking to her own moral code in her role as Guardian. She isn't a full fledged guardian at this point, but we can all see the writing on the wall by now. She will be one, now she just has to make sure everyone understands the lines she is and is not willing to cross.

And the decisions she made in this book? I like them. And I like her. She both saves and kills in this book.

As for her men? I think I like them all. Quinn, Kellen, and Kade. It's too bad the horse and wolf thing won't work, because I think I like Kade best of all. But I get why they can pretty much only be friends and f*** buddies. And I'm glad Kade is her friend.

This book doesn't have as much sex as the first book, and again that is mostly because the setting is not the week before the full moon. That being said, there is still a decent amount of sex. And nudity. A lot of nudity. And hints at depraved stuff. We only actually see one sexually depraved violent thing, but we know that more goes on.

The one thing I didn't like is that we're given the reason for the fighters being brought onto the estate, but then there is never an actual fight between them in the arena. And no real explanation for why that might be. Do they only do them on the weekend and they never made it to the weekend? Or maybe the author wrote the fights out and the editor cut them because the didn't add to the story line? That's possible, these are fairly long books with a lot of detail and it would probably take 20 or more pages for this particular author to describe fight night. But, if that was the case then it would have been nice for there at least to be an explanation of why there was no fight. This isn't a huge deal, just one of those things that bugged me a little. I was expecting fight night, and it never came.

Book one in this series got an 8 and book two got a 7. I mentioned in my review of the second book that it almost felt like the middle of a book, and after reading the third I now know I was right. These three books could be read as one long book, and the second book indeed would be the middle. Also, after having read the third, I'm almost tempted to go back and change book two to an 8. It may not have been as good on it's own, but seeing it as the set up to book three makes it better now than when I first read it, I think.

This book, Tempting Evil, gets an 8 of 10, and I'm giving the series an 8 of 10 after having read the first three books. If the next book is as good then the series rating may go up, as I'm enjoying the series a good bit. I ordered the rest of the published books in the series over the weekend, can't wait for them to arrive.

Review: Kissing Sin (Riley Jensen, Guardian, Bk 2) by Keri Arthur

Book two of this series wasn't quite as good as book one. It was still good, but not as good. However, the set up we're given for book three leads me to believe it's going to be much better.

There wasn't as much sex in this book, mainly because it doesn't take place around the full moon. I was happy with where the romance stuff went in this book, and I like that Riley stays in control of what she is and is not willing to do when it comes to her many guys. She's clear about the fact that she won't commit to monogamy, and she's honest about how she does and does not feel about each of them. She also does not try to hide who she has had sex with, not even from one of her guys. She's never promised monogamy and therefore none of them have a right to be upset if she's just been off for a few hours with one of them, having sex.

And can I just say that I loved Kade? I've never really considered the whole horse shifter thing before, and the idea of a.. well, a stallion. But wow, now that I've imagined the possibilities, there is much fodder for the imagination.

The other thing that is interesting here is what it necessary for two people of two different supernatural races to compromise on in order to have a relationship. The needs and culture of each race of beings makes it hard to merge into a relationship with someone of another race. That's not necessarily prejudice against other races (though it can be that), even without prejudice, the compromises needed to make a relationship work when two people may have such different needs can seem insurmountable. And not just sexual needs, but also social needs. And quite possibly, some of the obstacles this creates really may be insurmountable. Or, maybe not. 

The plot in this book is a continuation of the plot in the last book, completing what didn't get finished in the previous book. And it is obvious that the next book will just be another continuation of the same plot.

But, this book's plot wasn't quite as good as the one in the previous book. It really felt like the middle of a longer book, and that's quite possibly what it is, since this one plot is going to take so many books to finish off. It kind of felt like this book was just setting us up for the next book. I'll let you know after I've read the next one.

That's not to say it's one you can skip, though. A lot of important things happen in this book. New characters are brought in, a lot of the deviousness of the ring they are investigating is made clear, and a few kind of important people die, too. It's an important book and a whole lot of things happen in it. And it was a mostly enjoyable read. Just not as enjoyable as the first.

This book gets a 7 of 10, and I'm giving the series an 8 of 10 after having read two books.

Review: Full Moon Rising (Riley Jensen, Guardian, Bk 1) by Keri Arthur

It seems that people either really like this series or really don't. After reading the first book, I guess I'm not surprised. As it turns out, I liked it. But I can see that a lot of people might not understand the whole sex thing that is a big part of the world building here. Werewolves don't see sex as humans do, so you can't judge their actions based on the human viewpoint.

Normally I don't like books set in the future, as this one seems to be. I like the idea that these beings are here, right now, and we don't see them. That's the urban fantasy thing, right? These books appear to be set in our future though, so the same thing kind of applies, since these beings existed during our time as well, it's just that in the book's now, in our future, that they've come out and governments have written rules to try to make everyone get along.

As for the sex thing, werewolves basically need a whole lot of sex in the week leading up to the full moon, with it getting stronger and stronger as they get closer to the moon. The two days and nights before the full moon they are hit with a "moon fever" and they either have to have sex for most of the time the moon is in the sky or they go into bloodlust. Bloodlust as in, kill lots of humans. So, they have sex. In human form. Lots of wild, abandoned, sex. And, while werewolves are capable of intimate sex with someone they care about, they are also capable of casual sex without thinking anything at all about it.

But, even though this book takes place in the week before the full moon, and even though we get a very good idea of exactly how it feels for a werewolf to go through that time, the book is not "mostly sex". It's mostly plot and character development and world building and fighting, with enough sex thrown in for us to understand how the main character feels at this time. That being said, the descriptions of how the moon effects the libido, how it feels when the moon rises, it's very well done. Just as Kelley Armstrong does a good job describing how a half demon feels, and as Laurel K. Hamilton does a good job of explaining the vampire's bloodlust, Keri Arthur does a good job of explaning how moon fever feels to a werewolf in this world.

Our main character's name is Riley Jenson, of course. Her twin brother goes missing and she has to start looking for him on her own. He's a guardian, the guardians are kind of a special forces elite group of non-human law enforcers. They are part of a government branch called The Directorate of Other Races, and no one really knows exactly how much power they have, but let's just say it's a lot. Riley is a liaison there, and her brother is a guardian. But the head of the guardians wants Riley to be a guardian, too. She's refused so far, because she doesn't want to kill. And he is using this situation to try to bring her over, make her a guardian. She ends up doing guardian things, but tells him she doesn't want to be a guardian.

She meets a vampire who says he can't remember anything, except he just survived an attempt on his life and he can't go to anyone except her brother. She doesn't invite him in, so he stays in the hallway of her apartment for a few days. And, as she starts looking for her brother, the vampire helps.

The book has lots of violence, lots of danger, lots of plot twists. It also has good friends, and a twin pair who deeply love each other and who have a great relationship. But, there is also backstabbing and reasons to not trust, as well as reasons to trust.

It was a good book and an enjoyable read and I can't wait to get my hands on the second book.
