Description de l’éditeur
From Melbourne’s gleaming skyscrapers to its throbbing nightclubs, Riley Jenson’s world is raging with danger and desire. A drop-dead-gorgeous werewolf–with a touch of vamp coursing in her blood–Riley works for an organization created to police the supernatural races. But when she wakes up naked and bruised in a barren alley, she knows only that she must run for her life.
Within moments Riley collides with the sexiest man she’s ever seen: steely, seductive Kade, who is fighting a life-and-death battle of his own. With old lovers and enemies gathering around her, Riley knows she is being pursued by a new kind of criminal. Because in Riley’s blood is a secret that could create the ultimate warrior–if only she can survive her own dangerous desires….
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Vampire-werewolf heroine Riley Jensen escapes an unknown enemy's\t\t breeding pens to kick off the second installment of Arthur's urban fantasy\t\t series (following Full Moon Rising). The\t\t action and sex come fast and furious as Riley works with her twin brother, her\t\t boss at Melbourne's Directorate of Other Races, as well as most of her lovers\t\t (who include a vampire with werewolf issues, a werewolf with mixed loyalties,\t\t an alpha werewolf and a horse-shifter) to uncover and derail a nefarious plot\t\t to create an army of super-beings. Strong world-building, vivid personalities\t\t and the distinctive cultures of each of the various paranormal strains combine\t\t for a rich narrative, and Arthur's descriptive prose adds texture and menace.\t\t She also creates strong empathy for Riley, whose vampire half is beginning to\t\t assert itself, making her already precarious fertility problems worse. As in\t\t her first entry, though, Arthur can occasionally lose her reader amid\t\t complicated paranormal plot points, and her publisher's insistence on marketing\t\t her as paranormal romance may frustrate; though the heroine's multiple sexual\t\t partners fit her werewolf nature, they do not fit romance genre conventions and\t\t are better suited to readers of erotica/romance hybrids.\t\t
