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 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.

This book! It had me on the edge of my seat, biting my fingernails from beginning to end. Not only was I using my deduction skills in attempt to figure out who was behind the Lancasters' torment but the chemistry between Dex and Perry was magnified by ten...maybe a thousand in book 2! The whole book creeped me out. Could you imagine waking up in the middle of the night to animals lurking in the shadows of YOUR HOUSE? Or how about strange rock storms...yes, rocks being flung at your house from all over? No? Neither could I. Honestly, Perry and Dex and studly Max were absolutely out of their minds to stay in the Lancasters' house after the first incident. But anyways...onto the characters.
I love Dex and Perry. Their banter and rapport is amazing. I can firmly say they are among my favorite book duos. Half the time I want to slap them because I can't figure out whether Dex is attracted to Perry or if he's just a weirdo. I also can't figure him out, period, but that's a whole other can of worms. And Perry, I just.love.her. She's everything I could ever want in a main character. She, at times, can be self-depreciating but her moments of sheer awesomeness totally overshadow her moments of self-doubt. The are-they or aren't-they vibes I got the entire time I read this book literally had me wanting to pull my hair out! I loved what Max brought to Red Fox. He's this big, somewhat burly red-head and I think he brings a bit of competition in for Dex. Although Dex and Perry are pretending to be married, it's obvious Perry and Max might find each other attractive. It's also interesting to attempt to figure out what in the world is going on with Max and Dex. We know they have a history...but the tension between them is unbelievable!
The actual story was moved much more quickly for me than Darkhouse. While I still enjoyed Darkhouse, Red Fox's pacing was just better for me. The book seemed to take off from a few pages in and I felt as if there was always something going on to hold my attention. I also enjoyed playing the "Who Done It" game with myself while reading. I love a good mystery and when you throw some paranormal elements in and a little bit of (possible) romance...I am a happy reader.
Red Fox was a strong second book in the EIT series and I cannot wait to continue on with the crazy situations and shenanigans Perry and Dex get into!

Perry and Dex are back after their not so successful first paranormal Internet debut it didn't go that well. But they have a new gig lined up off to New Mexico to Red Fox and the strange happenings going on there- 4 chilling, spine-tingling and Perry and Dex rocking stars.
In Red Fox the Navajo live some stick to the old ways over have turned their backs on it. In this case Will and Sarah Lancater needs help. Perry and Dex are contacted by his old college friend Maximus. On the ranch rocks have been thrown against windows, animals have been slaughtered. There is more to all this then Perry and Dex can see. Lies, lies and more lies.
After a scary event involved with a fox Perry decides to for a walk on the ranch but gets further from the then expected. The unexpected happens.
He sighed and rolled his eyes-"Unbelievable. I leave you alone for two hours and you fall off a cliff, get attacked by a crow and a snake explodes all over you."
Perry has weird dreams of what is happening even before she left Portland. An insight to the myths and legends was really interesting and made this book a pleasure to read.
"The truth is in the fire," a voice whispered behind me.
In the end Perry and Dex can't believe what happened. Perry and Dex are alike in some ways in others not so much. Not sure on who to trust.
"So many secrets, so many blind eyes."
Ms. Halle made the right choice in keeping the seris to the mininum as in nine books and didn't go over the top as most authors do just to milk it and make money. I reckon that Dex has feelings for Perry but due to his past he wants to play it safe and stay with Jenn form Wine Babes.

Navajo, New Mexico… obviously it had to be skin walkers!!!
This story felt more complete than the last, and I can’t wait for them to figure out their story and why they are so connected!
