Taken by the Others (H&w Investigations)

by Jess Haines

[Amanda]

Oh, how I love a second book that hits the spot. After a shit ton of historical romances, I appreciated the ambiguous nature of the love interests in Taken by the Others. (Which I think may have been an issue for me in Hunted by the Others, since I usually like a clear winner.) And really, this book isn't about love interests. It's about Shia.

It's also about the absolute mind fuckery. By the end of the book, I wasn't sure what or who to believe; everyone seems to be manipulating Shia to get what they want. Poor Shia. Everyone wants her and she doesn't really understand why.

And all it did was make me want to run out and get the next book in the series. Which I can't, because dude, nine other library books to read first. But I'll get there. (Evernote lists, FTW!)

I'm really intrigued where Jess Haines will take Shia (and Chaz and Royce and everyone else) next. Taken by the Others has a "resolved for now" ending, so you know shit's gonna get real; for as much as we learned this time, we also learned we (and Shia) don't know enough.
