This series has seriously derailed. It wasn't as bad as the last but still....a LOT of skimming.
I couldnt put this one down even for a second I had to keep reading and reading until Quinn finally showed up! I loved loved loved the end but now I must start the next one so I can see where Quinn and Riley end up:)
This book was just as action packed as the others....not as much sex in this one as the others but the action and Riley's attitude is always enough:)

The previous installment of the Riley Jensen series was a big let down. After reading some of the reviews for this book I thought I was in for more of the same. However, the darkest kiss was very enjoyable. The series has definitely changed though. Riley has decided to settle down and not have sex with every male she comes across. She has chosen to give Quinn a chance, but she is not ready to cut out other men completely, and still believes a wolf is her soul mate. There is also a bit of progress with Rhoan, though he is also being rather stubborn. Those things only took up a few pages though. The Darkest Kiss is primarily action and mystery. I felt the mystery lacked a bit of depth since all of the answers were so easy for Riley to come by, but it had me turning pages and at the end before I knew it. It bothers me how easily some of the baddies die, and how nonchalant Riley is about getting arms broken, intestines torn out, and other massive injuries, but again, there is something about this series I absolutely love. I do miss the experimental breeding plot line and a continuing plot over several books. I feel like this series could end anytime the author wants, or go on forever, since each book is completely self contained. Yet, the series is progressing and changing, and hopefully Riley will change a bit as well. She either needs to stick to her old convictions of sleeping with anyone and everyone, or commit to one and be done. The middle ground where she is now is a bit irritating. Fans of a good paranormal action/mystery will like this book. If you are looking for the romance and sex of previous Riley Jensen novels, then this may not be your favorite book in the series. I enjoyed it immensely, and can't wait for the next book in the series!
Enjoyed this one more than the other 5 despite getting the two cases confused in parts. Loved all the drama and even better Quinn was back. Great read.
A lot of the focus here is on Riley coming to terms with where her life is at, and processing what it means for her. But alongside this are 2 different guardian cases with dangerous killers.
Really enjoyed this one, this series has so many great characters and ongoing threads.

3.5 stars. This book was a lot slower than the others. Probably because the lack of love life Riley now has. It didn't pick up until over 50% of the way through. I did enjoy the plot though, but everything is starting to get repetitive. I think the author needs to kill off a major character to spice things up a little bit.
Young was crazy. I don't condone what the teens did to him in the past but poor Liander did nothing! I'm glad he died.
Also that cat thing? O.o freaky!!! But cool
It was OK. I found following two cases confusing at times & actually not that interesting! I've been trying to finish the last 50 pages for a few nights & that is sooo unlike me I normally can't put a back down by this point! I think the romance was missing in this book & I'm kind of waiting for her to fun her soul mate now do she can stop harping on about it! Also found the numerous coffee (with or without hazelnut) referenced irritating when they appeared sooo often I mean I get it - she likes coffee but really what does this add to the story?!
Still, despite these comments I'm glad Quinn has made a reappearance and I will go finish reading this series - book 7 is waiting for me!
