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!

I'm going to find it very hard not to read every single one of these books. So good.

Red Fox was exactly what I wanted this series to be. It was dark and mysterious, I was hooked from the first chapter, Dex and Perry have so much chemistry it's freaking unreal, and the writing was what I've come to expect from Karina Halle. I read this book in a day I was so hooked! I don't want to leave spoilers for anyone but Karina Halle's writing was soooooo scary. I was jumping at shadows all night long! I'm so so curious as to what is up with Dex's past, I think I've got Perry pretty much figured out, but Dex is so intriguing and he seems to be carrying so much baggage that I just can't wait to find out what is going on. I'd give it 5 out of 5 stars and anyone who likes a good paranormal thriller, this is the series to read!

I loved it. I was intrigued by the story, which is part of why I could not put the book down. Something in the writing is also clearly amazing, even if I don't know what exactly yet. Maybe it is the realism of it. I still love the two main characters, Perry and Dex. Getting to know more about Dex was nice, but that doesn't mean that we know everything. There's obviously a lot more going on with him than the story told by Maximus, and I am curious about it. As for Perry, she's still herself, still funny and not annoying. That's what I like so much about her : there's not one point in the story where I thought she was annoying. She's great.
Anyway, I want to read the next books. That's for sure.

In the forgotten town of Red Fox, New Mexico, a Navajo couple is tortured by things unseen and by motives unknown. Armed with a camera and just enough to go on, Perry and Dex travel to the desolate locale, hoping to film the supernatural occurrences and add credibility to their flailing webcast.
Only their show has a lot more working against them than just growing pains. Tested by dubious ranch hands, a ghost from Dex’s past, and shapeshifting deception, the amateur ghost hunters must learn to trust each other in order to fight the most ancient of myths…or die trying.

Okay, I series love this series so much already! Red Fox is definitely a step up from the previous novel, with more twists and turns and an ending that I didn't see coming. Although it was sort on the horror and gore, it still left me feeling unsettled (and DYING to get my hands on book 3!!) I can't wait to see what Dex and Perry get up to next....and that sexual tension has to explode sometime soon.
Final thoughts: Go buy this series. You won't regret it.

This was a book that completely sucked me in. It was an unable to fall asleep until I finished it sort of book. The supernatural story line with the Lancasters and the strange happenings on their farm was very interesting and detailed. At one point during the book I sent an e-mail to my friend who introduced me to this series and I said "When are Dex and Perry going to hook up already", the sexual tension between them is crazy! I thoroughly enjoyed this book, it was scary and suspenseful! I like Perry more and more as the series goes on!
