The last of the Riley Jensen novels? I am not sure. I hope not. Arthur leaves some room for more novels. Things do wrap up quite a bit.

All kinds of bad things happen, then all kinds of good things happen. Quite enjoyable. Probably not the best of the novels but still good.

I am not a fan of Arthur's

other series (Myth & Magic?), so I will miss the author. She writes very well.

Moon Sworn is a lot less trashy than the rest of this series, which kind of ruins it because the writing is good only if you like trash.

Riley Jenson is a very strong person both body and soul. But the recent events in her life have shaken her and she is beginning to doubt everything and knows things have got to change. She takes a new case to work on even though she is sick of killing. This time its very important that she keep her

wits about her, an old enemy has come back and she's in more danger than she imagined.

This is the 9th and last book of the Riley Jenson series. This is one of my favorite series so I'm sad to see it end, but very satisfied with the way things ended. Riley hasn't had a lot of happy, so If anyone deserves a little happiness it's her. I loved this story, it was a great way to end the series. Moon Sworn was a fast paced emotional ride to fill the senses. Darkly intense, suspenseful and as always very sexy.

I am sorry that is last of the Riley Jensen Series, I have really enjoyed reading about her and her "family".

Some interesting things happen to Riley in this story and loose ends get tied up which is good. This time the Directorate are investigating the murders of ex criminals who have recently been

released from long term jail terms. In the middle of the investigation Riley is kidnapped which I thought was an interesting twist. There was the usual violence that is exciting to read and there is the relationship with those who are close to her.

For me the best thing is the happy ending. I would like to think that somewhere down the track there may be another episode for Riley.

Review:
Way to go Riley! Happily Ever After looks good on you! I LOVE this series.

Though, I must warn you, this is an adult paranormal romance.
Not recommended for those under 18.

That said, I am so happy everything turned out o.k. in

the end for Riley and her family. She's had a rough life, and it was about time that Fate was good to her.

The beginning was very good. Supernatural crime mystery, and all that jazz. Then something crazy happens and she's lost her memory!

At first I was all "no way, this is so lame! I am SOO over the memory loss plot line", but then I really got into it, and this is probably my favorite book out of the series. Well, next to Dangerous Games that is.

The ending was fantastic, and as a series ending very satisfying. I only wish we could see how her family does with the baby.

Anyway, those of you who have been following Riley from the start, will be very pleased with the ending. Thank you Ms. Arthur for giving us Riley's story, and all of her oh so hot boy toys that she's found along the way!

If you're like me, and you're sad to see them go, I am please to say that there will be a new offshoot series centered around Quinn and Risa, Dia's little girl. It’ll focus more on the Aedh and demons rather than vamps and werewolves. So very exciting!

So, all-in-all, I am very pleased with the ending of this series, and hope you all enjoy it as well!

I have been a fan of this series since Full Moon Rising. Riley has been through everything imaginable. Some of it was her own doing and some wasn't. She has lost so many people that were dear to her heart and others who weren���������t. With Bound to Shadows she lost two very

important people to her. She almost died as a result and was left wondering if it would���������ve been best. Still she came back and started this book off by picking up where BtS left off - mourning her soul mates��������� death and feeling the pain of letting someone down and not being able to fix it ever. While she���������s trying to decide on how the rest of her life will play out fate steps in to shove her in a new direction. An old enemy has decided it���������s time for revenge and Riley finds herself a Hanna and in a new town with a new brother. With memory loss a possible other loss she can���������t remember and someone else still trying to kill her or others time has run out. Still she works through it and although she doesn���������t get all her memory back this time fate helped her. These events helped her to step forward and do what her soul has needed for a while. She takes back the reigns in this book and finally leads her future instead of letting fate. Her and Quinn finally tie the knot and he as expected was like a brand new bride giddy and all.

I have loved Keri���������s writing in this series very much. I feel in love with the storyline and characters in Full Moon Rising and have laughed cried gritted my teeth and held my breath through it all. This final addition to the series was no exception. My only draw back was I wish it was longer or not over. With a sad beginning Keri brings it back at such a great pace and fills in the plot with plenty of suspense and action for true Riley style. It���������s a great read and even better if you have read the others. You feel like family almost with how well you know them and this point because you���������ve read about all the other things that have developed these characters to who they are.

And you are my world, and everything that means anything to me, Remember that, when the Demons are getting the better of you-Quinn to Riley
Fantastically romantic and horrifically nightmarish at the same time. Riley is taken and her love may be dead, that is only the beginning, her memory is gone.

She is confused and fears an unknown pain from.... ? She is beaten, burned and with people she doesn't think she knows...Her greatest challenge is yet to come, as her chance finally for happiness. Her quest is heart breaking. This book is a roller-coaster ride, I loved it, especially the ending. If you love this series don't miss this one !

A bit confusing in the beginning because there were a lot of references to past events and characters from the first book that I didn't read. The middle of the book is faster paced but the ending is a bit of a letdown.

The ritualistically slain bodies of ex-cons have started turning up. Reluctantly, Riley takes the case, but something even worse is waiting in the wings. For a vicious enemy from her past is determined to strip Riley of everything that gives her life any meaning: her lover, her brother–and even her own identity.
