Publisher's summary

In this exciting debut, author Keri Arthur explodes onto the supernatural scene with a sexy, sensuous tale of intrigue and suspense set in a world where legends walk and the shady paths of the underworld are far more sinister than anyone envisioned.

A rare hybrid of vampire and werewolf, Riley Jenson and her twin brother, Rhoan, work for Melbourne’s Directorate of Other Races, an organization created to police the supernatural races - and protect humans from their depredations. While Rhoan is an exalted guardian, a.k.a. assassin, Riley is merely an office worker - until her brother goes missing on one of his missions. The timing couldn’t be worse.

More werewolf than vampire, Riley is vulnerable to the moon heat, the weeklong period before the full moon, when her need to mate becomes all-consuming....

Luckily Riley has two willing partners to satisfy her every need. But she will have to control her urges if she’s going to find her brother. Easier said than done as the city pulses with frenzied desire, and Riley is confronted with a very powerful - and delectably naked - vamp who raises her temperature like never before.

In matters carnal, Riley has met her match. But in matters criminal, she must follow her instincts not only to find her brother but to stop an unholy harvest. For someone is doing some shifty cloning in an attempt to produce the ultimate warrior - by tapping into the genome of nonhumans like Rhoan. Now Riley knows just how dangerous the world is for her kind - and just how much it needs her.

Bite into another Riley Jenson novel.

I love this author

Another wonderful series by Keri Arthur.

Things I love generally about Keri Arthur booms hold true for this series

1. Strong but not stupid protagonist who doesn’t make stupid choices and asks for help when she needs to without needing rescue.
2. Women who aren’t catty / competitive / insecure and comparing their bodies. When people dislike each other it’s for valid reasons. Female characters aren’t stuck in stereotypes and their behavior alters through the books as relationships change.

This series needs to be read as a whole together to appreciate the relationship angles and the paths to getting where she needs to go mentally and emotionally. Some books end on low notes and some on high notes, but the emotional side is picked up in the next story.

Great book, fabulous series!

This series is far from your average werewolf or vampire romance novel. Keri Arthur leaves you guessing how the book will end! I would highly recommend the whole series.

great story. not a fan of the narrator

I loved the story. It was really heavy on the sex but it fits the story. I am not a fan of the Author. Penguin audio has great narrators maybe you could contract with them

loved it!

I have loved this story since I first stumbled across it years ago at the library and I am glad that I was finally able to support her writing. the one thing that did dull it down for me was the amount of sex in the book. I know and understand that Riley is a werewolf close to the full moon but I am one of those people that I have read enough sex scenes that I mostly just speed through them. There was a lot of 30 second skips forward, let me tell you.

Anita Blake fans don't miss this one!

If you love paranormal romance and you are an Anita Blake fan, you'll love this one. Finally a vampire to match Jean Claude!
