Dangerous Games Riley Jenson Guardian Keri Arthur 9780553589597 Books

Darkest Kiss starts out with half were half vamp Guardian Riley, exploring her newly discovered bird shifting ability. While she's throwing herself out of trees trying to learning to fly without a great deal of success -- her body as battered as the heart she's been guarding closely in the past months since her werewolf lover left her -- she's no longer leaping to act on her libidinous thoughts. In fact apart from a werewolf's prerequisite monthly `moon dances' she's been celibate. Small wonder, if Riley's life has been anywhere as busy as it is during the course of the story there is almost no way she's had time to squeeze in much in the way of extracurricular activity.

The action in Darkest Kiss is pretty much non-stop as Riley is assigned to track down the killer in a high profile murder of a shapeshifter politician and soon after Riley is asked by the hunky stripper werewolf shifter, Shadow, to look into the death of a friend that the authorities are writing off as an accidental death due to a BDSM gone wrong. But as additional bodies stack up, it is apparent to Riley that she's dealing with two serial killers. And while it doesn't take her long to figure out the identity of the killers, stopping them is not going to be anywhere near as easy, as both are powerful insane paranormal entities. Though Riley has really grown into the Guardian role she'd been resisting in previous books, it's going to take more than Riley's powers and a few old friends: seer Dia, horseshifter Kade, her brother Rhoan and a really `old' friend, her former vamp lover Quinn, to keep both Riley and a member of her `pack' from being the next victims.

I enjoyed Darkest Kiss, Arthur makes good use of the paranormal elements of her world and creates some formidable killers - for one, the bakenecko, she draws on Japanese lore to add complexity to the character. She also adds another flavor of vamp to her world, an emo vamp who feeds on emotion, the power hungry Vinnie promises to be a nemesis Riley is sure to encounter again in the future. With everything going on, Quinn who shows up just in time to identify the supernatural species and powers of the killers, didn't play as a big part in the story as the back cover suggests. Though his reconnection to Riley adds a bit of steam, his presence in the story appears to be mostly to set up for future books. For the overall story arc of the series, Darkest Kiss seems to be a transitional book for Riley because the pain and changes in Riley's life and attitudes along with Quinn's regrets look to offer a possibility that they will be able to move past the impasse that forced them apart in previous books.

Though I'm guessing that there will be probably be at least two more Riley Jensen books before Riley gets her happily ever after, there's no info on Arthur's website yet about when the next book will be out, and no title it's just Riley 7. So if you are looking for more Keri Arthur to tide you over, I recommend you hunt down a copy of one of her older romantic paranormal suspense books. One of my favorites, Circle of Desire (Damask Circle, Book 3), contains a beautiful scene with the werewolf "moon ceremony" between soul-mates that Riley refers to throughout the Guardian series and it was worth buying the book for that chapter alone. All three books in this Damask Circle series are stand-alone romantic suspense paranormals, though they are much shorter in length than her Riley Jensen books.

Dangerous Games Riley Jenson Guardian Keri Arthur 9780553589597 Books Reviews

There aren't many things that make my stomach turn... lets face it...I'm a zombie junkie, my favorite movie is "28 Days Later", and I laugh at the gore that makes most grown men squirm like 5 year old girls, but there is (naturally) one thing that I just can't handle.

What is this 1 thing you ask? What has toppled the Princess of Puke? Sure... I'll tell you, it's rough sex, and "Dangerous Games" was full of it.

Normally I can look past the misguided intentions of an author's warped mind but this time I just couldn't ignore my inner voice. (It was loud... very loud...as in take-no-prisoners-shut-the-stupid-book-you-dope loud.) I wanted nothing more than to clip large unnecessary sections from this book and feed them (forcefully) to the editor that green checked them through.

Riley, in all her Dhampir, Directorate Guardian glory is at it again. Her nemesis, whom escaped in the finale of the previous book is on the hunt, and she is his target. While trudging on with her everyday duties of "bad-man" hunting, she finds herself trapped in a weird torture circle. Quinn is of course there, being as pouty as ever (due to Riley's inability to never follow directions) and as a result does the vampire hoodoo-voodoo on her and uses compulsion to force her skinny butt home. (Not such a good idea if you catch my drift) Lie after lie puts Riley in the most dangerous situation she has ever found herself...facing down a 3 headed dragon, the father of all evil, and ultimately making her question EVERYTHING about her current life path.

Fighting ensues and blood is spilled...but the most interesting development in the entire book came when everything was tied up, (little red ribbon style) This particular plot line WILL NOT be strung out into book 5 (not that I'm complaining) and in the end Riley has finally cut the cord to several of her misguided flirtations.

Could this be the end of the Riley we have all grown to (reluctantly) adore? Where will this new found need to settle down leave our smart ass, vampire killing heroine? I am baffled yet intrigued. Which I guess for the author...is the whole point.

There were cute new shifter detectives, a sorceress sister, body entrapment, a new PA who is lovingly referred to as the Caramel Cow, an underground fight scene that had my brain short circuiting, several beheadings, and 1 very pissed of twin brother.

All in all I guess it was ok... if you take out the stocks and whips the OVERALL plot was actually intriguing and the "girly" lines were well written. I guess "Keri Arthur" can't win them all...or at least not for me.

Happy reading my fellow Dhampirs and remember you didn't really need that finger... it was just there for decoration.
I loved this book. Even the frustrating parts are fun. A few things finally finish for good in this book, while other things either are left open or are put on the back burner, so to speak. I love this genre and it's one of my favorites. I won't bore you with a plot summary as I know other reviewers are fond of doing that. This book is, just for anyone's information, a tiny bit more gruesome than the first three, but nothing most people can't handleif they read this genre anyway. A couple of things I'll never really be able to say I like, but they're rather minor except to Riley herself. I pull for Riley in every book so far and I really care about what happens to her as a character. She has a life she can't change and mostly hates even if some part of it calls to her at the very core of her being. She wrestles with life and her nature doing battle as time goes on in her job and interacting with the people around her. I believe it could be looked upon as a lesson. She has a life that you can't really say you wouldn't want to try for a while, but it's probably not a life most people would want if they couldn't get out of it. All of that, the way it's written, makes it a very enjoyable and titillating experience. I say that if you liked the first three books and this genre, you should give it a shot. I don't think you'll regret it. Have it it and enjoy it!
