Is this happening or are these two slightly less than a full glass of sanity ? I have no idea. Crazy or not I am addicted to this wickedly adventurous couple.
Off they go to film a something extra in New Mexico. There is an extra twist of them pretending to be a married couple. (Tee hee hee, finally they are in bed together. Sorry it's just not what what you think. Anyway, this ranch out in the middle of dusty NM is haunted or something by some Native type boogy that causes all kinds of hurt. They fumble, she falls a lot, they bicker and they flirt. it's wonderful. There is a moment of pure vaaaa-voom in a tree that is not to be missed.

So it's safe to say that I'm not going to be very comfortable around animals for awhile, cause that was a bit intense, especially crazy birds trying to tear Perry's eyes out.
I'm in love with Perry and Dex, their adventures and their bickering, but also the moments when they're both sweet and honest with each other.
I think I'm addicted to this series and I'm off to read the next one.

This book had a few more editing issues than the last one did. I even saw a few words crossed out, like the editor intended to remove them, but then missed them.
But the story was really good. We got to know more about Dex, but what I really want to know it more about Perry and her drug history and the things she used to see. And about Dex's parents.

I wasn't as crazy about this one. I think it was because I didn't get as spooked. Somehow the things they encounter here were less terrifying to me. And I am getting frustrated with Dex. He's a terrible flirt, and I cannot help but feel like Perry needs to let go him in her heart. Don't get me wrong, the angst between the two is so palpable it's almost suffocating. But I really, really, really, need something more to happen.

My only complaint with the series is her use of the term "motorbike." Do people in the US really say motorbike rather than motorcycle or just bike? I find it so uncool for a cool character to hop on her motorbike.

This book was SO much better than the first! It took place almost entirely on the shoot of their second webisode and the action and mystery completely drew me in. I’m feeling more optimistic for the series, and excited to move on to the third instalment.
The skinwalkers really threw everything at our leading couple! And for some reason almost NONE of it was caught on film. I don’t know why part annoyed me so much. Instead of investing in a better camera or paranormal gear, maybe get a go-pro and never turn it off. That way all the insane paranormal stuff that happens to them can be useful for their series!
I still have a lot of complicated feelings about Perry and Dex. Perry pretty much decides that Dex is the love of her life (after knowing him a month), and their relationship deepens. Trust is formed, and they trauma bond through the insanity that’s unfolding around them.
I like Dex a lot more after finishing Red Fox, but that’s due mostly to co-reading the corresponding chapters in The Dex Files. Understanding what’s going on in Dex’s head (especially when he’s acting asshole-ish or aloof in the main series) helps me feel more connected to him.
I’m leaving Red Fox liking our leading couple a lot more but knowing they both need to grow and mature a lot before they are able to be together!
I’m settling at a 4/5⭐️ for this one! I was between 3.5 and 4, but the action is really what put it over the edge!

I first read [b:Red Fox|11710500|Red Fox (Experiment in Terror, #2)|Karina Halle|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1602889068l/11710500._SY75_.jpg|19191181] 6 years ago, but decided to re-read the entire Experiment in Terror series after finding [b:Came Back Haunted|55618050|Came Back Haunted (Experiment in Terror #10)|Karina Halle|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1602886940l/55618050._SY75_.jpg|86734082] (Ada's story) in a bookshop.
I knew I enjoyed this series, but I had forgotten how much I loved Perry and Dex as characters, and how addictive and creepy the stories are.
I had rated Red Fox 3.5 stars on first read, but on re-reading it (and knowing what is coming), I have revised my rating to 4.5 stars.

I enjoyed the second EIT installment despite that I still have issues with the two main characters. In Red Fox we did a switcheroo and Dex aggravated me more than Perry. Granted, Perry got off to a bad start hating on Dex’s girlfriend Jenn for no reason other than that she’s seethingly jealous of her and makes all sorts of assumptions about her “perfect life” that are nothing but sour grapes. Then she announces that she “tends to hate on a lot of people for no apparent reason". It all makes her sound shallow and insecure, a little pathetic and plain old not very nice. Then there’s the whole blaming her “flabby thighs” for slowing her down – and for the love of God – if you’re that fixated on it – eat less and exercise or accept yourself as you are and stop whining!! However while we got off to a rough start Perry pulled it together and focused on the mystery. She also earned points for resisting Dex’s flirtations and reminding him that he does have a girlfriend – which was the decent thing to do and very impressive for Perry – especially since she fancies herself in love with Dex.
Dex who in the first installment I gave props to for being flirtatious but not crossing any lines with Perry – nosedived in installment 2. He was crossing lines all over the place. He also forgot his medication. His psych medication that he’s only been taking for a short period of time and has no idea how he’ll react to withdrawing from it. Both Dex and Perry astound me with their level of irresponsibility and immaturity. But they do have chemistry – I have to give them that – there are definitely sparks between them. And while on the subject of characters – Perry’s parents seem awfully critical; but at this point I’m still willing to give them the benefit of the doubt that they’re worried she’s going to end being 30 and living in their basement.
The story follows the format of Darkhouse – Perry has creepy dreams that foreshadow what’s to come in her ghost hunting endeavors. For the second episode of their webinar Perry and Dex are going to New Mexico to investigate poltergeist activity experienced by a Native American couple on their ranch. There’s quite the cast of characters and the feeling that everyone has an agenda and you don’t know quite who to trust adds to the suspense. We learn a little bit more about Dex’s background from his old college friend Maximus who calls them into the investigation when he hits a wall in his ghost cracking.
The difference between Dex and Perry and their Experiment in Terror show and other ghost hunting reality shows it that Dex and Perry encounter real supernatural activity that tries to kill them and leaves bruises and other assorted injuries. This time around it’s in the form of attacking animals and Native American mythology (nothing so mundane as garden variety poltergeist).
I think I’ll finish the series. Perry could be a really cool character if she could grow up and embrace the Serenity Prayer. I’m not sure what Dex’s deal is yet. He’s got a Byronic hero vibe going on which is intriguing; but I don’t like the game he’s playing with Perry when he has a girlfriend – that he lives with no less. I’m thinking he best shit or get off the pot pretty quickly or I’m going to lose patience with him.
