Editorial Review:
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.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Good premise, poor execution
Well, it's all been said. There's sex but personally, I didn't find it very erotic or hot. The book ended up irritating me because I really wanted to like it but I just don't think I can be bothered reading the rest of the series now (esp. after reading the reviews). The whole thing was just very flat for me.
Rating:  - Average, though still worth reading

Rating:  - My First Book by this Author
I really enjoyed this book, it had lots of action in it. Riley is half werewolf, half vampire and I found her very likeable. I read the book in one day and I am on to the second one in the series.
Rating: - Super Reader
Hybrid hairy heat cop.
Your paranormal romance sort of the book. The main character being a bit different to the other supernaturals around, but just as much in need of shagging at that time of the month for your lyncanthrope types.
The good thing is it isn't set it Yetanothersville USA, but rather in Melbourne, to give it a different flavour.
When able to tear herself away from furry non furry horndog activities, she is a special agent working for the Directorate ... Read More
Rating: - For resuing plot from her other series (Spook Squad and bit of another).
Now I know why Ms. Arthur said she wouldn't be finishing the Spook Squad series (which would be nice to have an ending).
I don't think this would have bothered me as much if I had been for warned and I would have bought the book used. Though, I most likely would have skipped this book and started later in the series.
Over all the book was OK. Even though I would like an end to "Spook Squad", I'm not sure if I will or won't read more of this series. I don't care for crude sex ... Read More
