Review - Destiny Kills by Keri Arthur

Destiny Kills
Myth and Magic, Book 1
Keri Arthur
Dell Spectra
October 28, 2008
ISBN# 978-0-553-58960-3

Book Blurb:
Desire calls. Danger Lurks.
But...

When Destiny McCree wakes up beside a dead man on an Oregon beach, she knows only this: she has to keep moving, keep searching, and keep one step ahead of the forces that have been pursuing her from the heart of Scotland to this isolated spot. Why? The death of her lover has left her alone, with little memory of her past. A glimmering serpent-shaped ring is the one clue she has—and a bargaining chip in a most dangerous game.

Enter Trae Wilson, a master thief with a sexy, knowing grin and a secret agenda of his own. Destiny and Trae both have powers far beyond the human—and both are running for their lives. Together they’re riding a tide of danger, magic, and lust…but with killers stalking their every move, they must use any means necessary, even each other, to survive—until the shocking secret of one woman’s destiny finally unravels.…

My thoughts:
Destiny McCree was captured for the power she holds that’s tied to the sea. With the help of her cellmate and lover, Egan, she has finally escaped a decade of captivity. Egan isn’t so lucky, and it’s his body she wakes beside on the beach. After saying her good-byes and collecting the serpent ring he left behind, Destiny sets out to accomplish two main goals. She needs to see her father once more, and to rescue those who remain imprisoned by the scientists. She doesn’t get far before trouble finds her, but rescue comes in the form of Trae, a man who stirs her blood like no other. He too has an agenda and Trae works to convince her that only together will they achieve their goals.

Trae Wilson has considerable power of his own, and he’s willing to follow through on his promise to Egan to help Destiny in whatever way he can. There is something Trae wants in return, and while it’s not something Destiny wants to give up, she’ll have to be willing in order to have any hope of rescuing those she cares about most.

This is the first installment in the exciting Myth and Magic series. Ms. Arthur gives her readers exactly what they’re looking for in a strong heroine, and pairs her with a sexy man who can easily hold his own. Destiny Kills has a fresh storyline with all of the danger filled action and thrills needed to make a fantasy read impossible to set down. The chemistry and subsequent romance between characters is scorching, and combined with myths made believable it will leave readers eager to see where the author takes us next.

The Darkest Kiss by Keri Arthur

The Darkest Kiss
Riley Jenson, Guardian, Book 6
Keri Arthur
Bantam Dell
April 29, 2008
ISBN# 978-0-553-59114-9

Working as a Guardian for the Directorate is more than a full time job for Riley Jenson. Her werewolf senses and vampire blood give her strength and speed in the hunt, but even she can find herself in a deadly situation. The new cases she’s working will bring her face to face with two killers that are quite different than anything she’s ever encountered before.

The Toorak Trollops are a group of high-society women who date only the wealthy and powerful men who can give them the most. When the men they’ve been with begin turning up dead, the Directorate is called in to investigate. This case also forces Riley to come face to face with an ex-lover who is never far from her thoughts. In her still fragile state from a recent break-up, Riley will have little strength to fight off the passionate connection they still share.

While she’s already on the trail of one murderer, Riley receives a call from Ben Wilson. He’s a wolf she met during a previous case and he’s in need of a Guardian’s help. More murders are occurring that may somehow have a connection to the Toorak Trollops case. Now Riley has two murderers to find who are each committed to exacting their own forms of revenge. Her skills will be put to the test, but stopping the killings is the only option. Riley will do whatever it takes to see it done, even if that means fighting something far stronger and more dangerous than she is.

The Darkest Kiss is the sixth book in the Riley Jensen, Guardian series. Riley’s instincts and skill will lead her to two deadly opponents who each started with an agenda but are more than willing to destroy anyone who gets in their way. Ms. Arthur pens a fabulous mystery filled with vampires and shapeshifters whose unique qualities add to the overall suspense. The danger throughout the story plays a big role in the building tension and the heroine’s passion for catching the killers bring each case to a searing climax. While the cases in this installment are new, readers should read each of the prior books to gain a better understanding of Riley’s background. Readers looking for a great urban fantasy series with mystery and romance need look no further than the Riley Jenson Guardian novels.
