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

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!

Redemption isn’t a word Jim Heron knows much about—his specialty, both personally and professionally, is revenge, and to him, sin is all relative. But everything changes when he becomes a fallen angel and is charged with saving the souls of seven people from the seven deadly sins. His weapon: the power of love. His enemy: the darkest of evil. And failure is not an option.

Vincent Di Pietro has surrendered himself to his business—until fate intervenes in the form of a tough-talking, Harley-riding, self-professed savior, and a woman who will make him question his destiny. With an ancient evil ready to claim him, Vin has to work with a fallen angel not only to win his beloved over…but to redeem his very soul.
