Publisher Description
Part vamp, part werewolf, Riley Jenson plays by her own rules, whether it's her stormy love life or her job as a guardian. But when her family's alpha male demands that she solve the mystery of a vanished girl, Riley can feel a trap closing in around her. Because the job comes with a catch: if Riley fails, her own mother will die.
Now the stakes are raised, and the hunt is on. And when more women vanish, Riley is caught between a lover who demands that she give up her work, a serial killer who knows no boundaries, and a club where humans and supernaturals mix—at their own peril. Thrust into a realm of seduction and violence unlike any she could have imagined, Riley has to battle to save everything she holds dear. But the ultimate hunt has only just begun.

"This is one of my favorites by far--other than the very first one--in this series. The storyline was awesome. Riley is finally at the point of transitioning from just surviving to actually living her life, and going after what she wants. I love the complexity of her character. I love the passion with which she lives every moment of her life. I love going into Riley's world. Keri Arthur creates the world so completely that it feels more real than it should."

Embraced by Darkness Listener Reviews

" Was waiting for more Quinn stuff.... book was ok.. not going in a direction I would have put the series... "
— Jillian, 2/11/2014 -
" I found Embraced by Darkness much better balanced between Riley as a character, the plot and the sex and violence. However it was obvious that the club would somehow be involved in Riley's cousins disappearance and I thought it was unlikely that she couldn't make that leap so it bugged me. That said I did enjoy it. Tempting Evil (#3) very nearly ruined this series for me but I'm much more willing to finish the series after reading 4 and 5. "
— Shelleyrae, 1/17/2014 -
" This series gets better as it goes on and this one isn't really trashy for a change(mind you, a good sex scene is always a plus, but when she is having sex with anyone and everyone, its just icky). Riley is very much a likeable character who is growing and accepting the changes in her life much like any of us would - with some grace but mostly kicking and screaming. "
— Danielle, 12/29/2013 -
" There's nothing like playing cat and wolf, lolz. Riley's on the run in this one, will she escape or will she be caught? "
— Cheyenne, 12/20/2013 -
" I really liked the book although the way Ms Arthur gets heroine out of binds is sometimes a little far fetched james bondesque. It moves fast and there is enough character development to curious to see what happens in the next book. "
— Irene, 12/5/2013 -
" Little slow in the middle but the I did not see it ending the way it did! Can't wait to read the next one! "
— Leigh, 11/18/2013 -
" Good read, I really like Riley. "

" not the best book in the series. interesting read all the same. "
— Crystal, 8/12/2013 -
" Honestly it isn't one of my favorite Riley books but it's still pretty good. The series is good actually but don't expect a happily ever after ending between Riley and most of her guys it's not your typical Romance. "
— Stacy, 6/7/2013 -
" This book wasn't the same without Quinn. I wanted so bad to like Kellan and I did feel sorry for him, but he just isn't for Riley. "
— Tina, 1/15/2013 -
" I am absolutly heart broken by the ending of this book. After everything she has gone through and Kellen does that to Riley?! I'm hoping things get better for Riley in the next book. "
— Michele, 10/7/2012 -
" I like the series. I need to find the last two ! "
— Samdyv, 5/16/2012 -
" I would have skipped it if it didn't have some useful stuff for future booka "
