4.5 Stars. Well written, well edited and a delightful world of hard-boiled crime, supernatural intrigue and romantic tension. Ari rocks! I'll definitely be reading more.

I loved this read! It was my first by this author and I cannot wait to read the rest of the series! If you are a fan of supernatural/paranormal and like when it mixes with the real world, this is going to rock your socks.

I thought the storyline was excellent. It was very unique, in both the plot and the way it was told. It mixed the real world and the imaginary very well, not giving us too much of either, but blending in a way that they were truly intermingled with one another. I also liked that the story didn't just have one person who was working to fix the 'issue' and solve what is happening, it was a team and the team was a mixture of all sorts.

The characters were developed brilliantly. There was depth, personality and a certain quirk about them that made me really connect with them. I liked that each was unique, but they still interacted, and even if they didn't always agree, they stuck together for the greater good. There were strong and intelligent characters leading the team, and they were passionate and empathetic.

I found the pace really matched the story. We had fast paced sections, to really set apart the fact that there was a rush and a dire need to solve the crime and to find out who was behind it and why. There were also slower sections that really matched the fact that they needed to stop and think, to really breakdown what was taking place. I felt like this made it a lot more real.

The story was easy to connect with and I really found myself hooked. I couldn't wait to get back and read more and now I find myself itching to dive into book two.

I highly recommend this series. I think it is a brilliant book and I can tell that the rest of the series is going to continue to get even better.

**I received this book for free in exchange for my honest an unbiased opinion.

Red Dogs by Keith Melton

I loved this one. My first valentine themed story. Andrea Walker is one kick-ass heroine, even when she's taking down herself. I love reading about her. Red Dogs is a fast, fun read. Excellent valentine's story. Unique, filled with great action. For those wondering, this book can be read as a stand alone. Although I do recommend reading the previous books in the series. Andrea and her team are great.

NOTE: I received this book from the author/publisher in exchange for a review.

Ari (Arianna) Calin is a guardian in the riverfront section of Riverdale. A city where humans and otherworlders, vampires, werewolves, witches and others co-exist to an extent. She handles anything to do with magic or the otherworlders and her human partner Lt. Ryan Foster the human side of it. The story starts with Ari patrolling when she heard screams and comes upon a teen couple trying to ward off a werewolf, something that shouldn't be happening. After running the werewolf off she meets Andreas Deluca, someone high up in the vampire counsel and also someone who appeals to her magic. It develops that there is many things going on including a drug war, attacks on people and who knows what else.
Ms Shields has done a very good job on developing a new twist on human/otherworlders stories. She has all parties either working with or against each other in a battle for the city and the control of the vampires. When I was finally able to start reading this book I didn't want to stop and am looking forward to more from this writer.
