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 . . .
I am a big Keri Arthur fan. The man character Riley has shown great development over the stretch of the last 8 books and I have been pleased with where the series is going. This latest release, book 8, is no different than previous books…offering readers a great story, lots of action, and many developments in the romance area of Riley’s life.
I loved the emotional issues and decisions Riley is faced with in Bound to Shadows. Arthur makes her character question her actions and not just give in to her nature…. asks Riley to be more than just a werewolf. We finally see Riley accepting who she is, both parts of her soul.
I greatly enjoyed the interactions between both Quinn & Riley, and Kade & Riley. Being a Quinn/Riley Shipper, Kye’s appearance and actions in the first half of this book had me unsure. He fascinates me and I found myself both enjoying and cringing at the scenes between him and Riley.
The really enjoyed this installment of the Riley Jenson series and it was over far too soon! I am already anxious for the next (and I believe last?) book …. will Quinn and Riley get their happy ever after? What will become of Liander and Rhoan? My only complaint about this book is the minimal parts Rhoan and Liander played in this one… I missed them!

Oh I’m glad you liked it too!! I was a little disappointed at the limited play for Rhoan and Liander too but I have to think based on how this one ends we’ll see more of them in the next book.
I think you are right FV – we should see more of them in the next one…. I can’t wait. I love Rhoan and Liander.
Looking forward to reading this one. I didn’t realize the next one was the last in the series though. I have really enjoyed this series so far.
Amy – I am pretty sure the next one is the last one. I remember reading that on her blog at one time.
What a great review! I have this to review too and I’m really looking forward to reading it, especially now after reading your take on it. Thanks!
