Product Description

Product Description

At a local vampire club, someone is beheading the clientele, and the peace the Guardians are meant to maintain is getting shaky. Human and vampire fatalities escalate and Riley Jenson - a rare hybrid of werewolf and vampire - finds herself struggling to make sense of the murders and, in particular, her main suspect: the club's owner Dante Starke and his powerful sexual aura. And if things weren't bad enough, she's also torn between her love for Quinn and her connection with the unpredictable werewolf Kye - her soulmate. With the city on the verge of all-out war, Riley must not only capture the killer, but choose between the man she loves and the man she's destined to be with.

4.0 out of 5 stars Should be 5/5 but..., 7 Nov 2009
By Claire Mill "Cem" (England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Bound To Shadows is the 8th and penultimate book in the Riley Jenson, Guardian series. It took this series a while to grow on me, but now I'm hooked. I was looking forward to this book with ideas of what I thought could happen, and what I'd like to see happen. I got neither. This book took me completely by surprise. Several times in fact. And the ending? Never, never saw it coming 'til I was there.

Six months after discovering top hit man (and werewolf) Kye Murphy was her soulmate, Riley's still trying to forget him. They haven't seen each other in that time and Riley and Quinn, her vampire lover, are closer than ever. But soon after beginning her latest case Riley finds Kye back in her life. And determined to make her his anyway he has to. But with vampires being beheaded all over town for no obvious reasons, and by some unknown supernatural being, Riley has no time for his promises, or threats.

This book is very well done, and very shocking as I've already said. But on the lighter side, there are some fantastic moments with Riley's twin brother Rhoan, and his mate Liander. And with psychic Dia and her daughter Risa too.

In the previous book I really liked Kye, and although I no longer hated Quinn, I still wasn't a fan of him. Here...well, you should read to find out what happens for yourself. I will say that in some respects this book is too sharp a 180 turn on Deadly Desire. With Ms. Arthur maybe trying a little too hard to make us hate a certain man. But at the same time, it still made sense. This man, seems quite different here to what we've seen before, but I think those changes are part of the point. Part of why what happens at the end happens.

Overall, technically I'd have to give the book 5/5. It's well written with a tight and interesting plot, not to mention a shocking, sad but awesome ending, and some great character development. But, I can't help feeling a little disappointed with this the direction the series has taken with this book. It's not bad, just very different to anything I would have predicted based on earlier books. As I've said already, the shift feels a bit too sharp and sudden. I can understand why it's happened the way it has though. And the shocks were out of the blue and brilliant. The ending is going to have lasting, and massive, consequences for Riley, both personally and professionally and I can't wait to see how she handles them.

3.0 out of 5 stars OK, 6 Nov 2009
this is the 8th book in the guardian series, its ok. riley jenson finally decided between her wolf woul mate and her vamp soul mate, although theres a sad anti climax at the end which is very sudden because the author has been draggin the kye/quinn story for a few books. wouldve liked to see an explosive end with both loves and a hard decision at the end. because of the ending ive given it a 3 star.

3.0 out of 5 stars A different direction for Riley..., 23 Nov 2009
By Read Me (West Midlands, UK) - See all my reviews
As always this book is in a series and the enjoyment you should get out of reading it depends very much on if you've read the other books - so read them! :)
Riley is investigating a case of headless vampires and the tension between vampires and humans is threatening to take over the city. In her private life her twin Rhoan and his mate Liander are trying to move forward and her relationship with Quinn is better than ever. So right on queue appears Kye: Riley's very much unwanted soulmate. The power play between them does take over most of the book and as previous reviewers have stated the ending is shocking and will definitley change the direction of the series.
This series has always been fun, slightly on the silly side (some of the investigations are just plain daft) and mostly about Riley as a half vampire half werewolf genetically modified ghost seer. Phew. For me this book only gets 3 stars because of the lack of other characters - there is very little Rhoan and Liander (who I really like) also Quinn seems to have undergone a minor personality transplant. Risa the child of Riley's psychic friend Dia is brilliant and hopefully she'll become a major part of the next books.
Overall its a good book, well written as ever and with a good pace. Yet I can't help feeling that this is the crossover book in the series where everything changes after this. It'll be interesting to see where Riley is headed.
