The Darkest Kiss by Keri ArthurThe Darkest Kiss sees us returned to the world of Guardian Riley Jensen, a supernatural enforcer taking on all those otherworldly baddies that the mortal authorities fear, and to the thrilling writing style of author Keri Arthur. This is a series I honestly enjoy and one that has gotten better with each volume.

In this latest outing, our dear Riley is still struggling with the physiological changes wrought upon her from the experimental serum a former lover had been injecting with her. She is, of all things, learning to fly, but her flying lessons take a back seat when a new mystery lands in her lap. She goes after it with determination and focus while her love life remains in cold storage … that is until an old flame appears on her radar again.

Ah, yes, Quinn, that dark and delicious ancient vampire is back, dear readers, making Riley’s head spin and her hormones do a happy dance. They really are good together, as bed partners and otherwise, and I’m hoping we’ll see even more of them in the future. I really am pulling for a happy ending for them.

Overall, The Darkest Kiss is a solid, well-written book. There’s plenty of mystery and action, but the between-the-sheets time is less than the previous books, though that really doesn’t hurt anything because this series has truly developed into full-on urban fantasy with a strong element of eroticism and some engaging paranormal sleuthing.

    It’s been a while since I read this book. I really like this series however what really bothers me is that the female heroin always has so many issues and it takes up so much of the pages just like in other books I have read. I am so glad that Quinn is back because his presence really adds better content to the story line and shows more of her Vampire side which I think we need to see versus the were.

    Hi, I have a question about this book. It seems that it’s a series and I was wondering will I understand this book if I just read this one instead of all?

    Thanks

    Kitty,

    You really need to read the series from the beginning so you know and understand the characters. Try your library and if they don’t carry it see if they off an inter loan library service.
