Bookish Escape {#10} : H&W Investigations Discussion w/ Jess Haines!

 

This past Tuesday, the third H&W Investigations novel, Deceived By The Others, hit the shelves and even though I read it a little while ago, I’m still reeling from all that happened and how much I loathe Chaz.  Like Jackie said in her post, since the beginning,in Hunted By The Others, I was a bit suspicious of him and never  was 100% behind him as a leading man. 

After Deceived By The Others I am baffled as to where Jess will take us next and after the roller coaster ride she has put us through with it and before with Hunted By The Others and Taken By The Others, I am left wishing it was 2012 already.  So Jackie (from Literary Escapism) and I are sitting down with Jess Haines and we’re going to ask her all of our questions. Is there anything you’ve been aching to know? 

Then join us at Talk Shoe on July 9th, Saturday, at 2pm EST and let’s talk about it. 

Please note, this is a completely different day and time to accommodate Jess’s schedule, so double mark your calendars so you won’t miss out.

Haven’t read the series yet? What are you waiting for?! Here are the books, in order:

Hunted By The Others

Shiarra Waynest’s detective work was dangerous enough when her client base was strictly mortal. But ailing finances have forced her to accept a lucrative case that could save her firm – if it doesn’t kill her first. Shiarra has signed on to work for a high-level mage to recover an ancient artifact owned by one of New York’s most powerful vampires. As soon as Shiarra meets sexy, mesmerizing vamp Alec Royce, she knows her assignment is even more complicated than she thought. With a clandestine anti-Other group trying to recruit her, and magi being eliminated, Shiarra needs back-up and enlists her ex-boyfriend – a werewolf whose non-furry form is disarmingly appealing – and a nerdy mage with surprising talents. But it may not be enough. In a city where the undead roam, magic rules, and even the Others aren’t always what they seem, Shiarra has just become the secret weapon in a battle between good and evil – whether she likes it or not…

 

Taken By The Others

Once, New York P.I. Shiarra Waynest’s most pressing problem was keeping her agency afloat. Now she’s dealing with two dangerous, seductive vampires who have been enemies for centuries. The only thing Max Carlyle and Alec Royce agree on is that they both want Shia – for very different reasons. Max is determined to destroy Shia for killing his progeny, while Royce’s interest is a lot more personal. That’s not sitting well with Shia’s werewolf boyfriend, Chaz. As the feud between Max and Royce gets ever more deadly, a powerful vampire-hunting faction is urging Shia to join their side. Shia has always believed vamps were the bad guys, but she’s discovering unexpected shades of grey that are about to redefine her friends, her loyalties – and even her desires.

 

Deceived By The Others

Shiarra’s relationship with sexy werewolf Chaz may be somewhat unconventional. Still, after a few bumps, Shia is finally ready to get serious. That means meeting family—or in this case, bringing Chaz’s entire werewolf pack along for a rollicking full-moon weekend in the Catskills.

Soon after they arrive, threatening notes appear, warning Chaz to go home. Then their cabin is ransacked. Shia starts digging to find out whether it’s the work of upstart teenaged werewolves or something more sinister. Yet as rumors about her vampire connections arouse the pack’s hostility, Shia has to contend with other dangers. Not just from an adversary about to make his fatal intentions known, but from a threat that’s even closer than she knows. . .

Warning: We will be focusing on the series, so spoilers are going to happen. We’ll try to keep the hardcore spoilers to a minimum, but there are no guarantees.
