Enslaved by the Others - Jess Haines

Vampires, werewolves, magi and worse-the Others have joined the mortal world, and there's no turning back now...

As a New York P.I. and Other specialist, Shiarra Waynest has been in plenty of trouble before. But waking up in a windowless room the prisoner of a vampire slave trader is a shock for anyone. Shia has her wits, her bravado, and a couple of used staples, so maybe she can take on a mansion full of serious evil.

But although she's desperate to escape, Shia needs some answers too. Her friends are in danger. There are betrayers and spies among them. And even if she can figure out what's going on and somehow get a message out, she's still a captive of the worst kind...

My thoughts:
Shia is in trouble, no strike that. She is effed! She is in so much trouble. Poor Shia.

Ok do I have your interest? The book starts with her waking up in a cell. The prisoner of a slave trader, who trades in humans and others. This is bad bad news. Where are her friends? And what happened?

Honestly the first 150 pages or so just had me biting my fingernails and turning page after page hoping for something to happen. Like Royce coming down with a swat team or something. But no one knows where she is, and she has no idea where she is. Not to mention that this place is not built for an easy escape.

I miss you Royce! I missed him so much. Hopefully there will be more of him in the next book.

Back to Shirra, oh she can kick ass. Love her.

Conclusion:
Tension, suspense, evil vampires and more. That is what this book will give you. It looks dark, but she never gives up. A recommended series.

  8. It does sound like she's going to have a rough time. #6 though. I usually end up bored by series that last that long.
