Stalking the Others (H&W Investigations, #4)
by Jess Haines (Goodreads Author)

I have been waiting patiently for a year since the end of Deceived By The Others for Stalking The Others to be released so that I could find out what would happen with our heroine Shiarra Waynest. Would she turn furry at the next full moon and more importantly would she get it on with our handsome manipulative sexy genius vamp Alec Royce. So on 3 July as soon as I woke up I downloaded Stalking The Others to my Kindle and started reading immediately.
This book picks up straight away from where Deceived By The Others left off with Shia escaping Royce’s house and starting on a murderous rampage seeking revenge on Dillon, pack member of the Sunstrikers, who has possibly infected her with Lycanthropy and Chaz, leader of the Sunstrikers and her ex-boyfriend who betrayed her. Shia is all alone with nowhere to go and no money, all she has is her enchanted hunter belt, which gives her superhuman powers and speed, constantly whispering in her ear. She needs to seek retribution before the next full moon which is only 24 days away. We follow her on this journey with a count down of the days until the full moon. It was so excited wondering whether Shia would sprout fur and fangs and I couldn’t read fast enough to get the answer.
I wasn’t sure what to expect from the story as Shia hunts down her prey but I was not expecting for it to be darker and grittier than the previous books. I certainly wasn’t expecting the badass Shia that we get in this instalment and I loved it.
If you liked the earlier books you will not be disappointed and if you like Urban Fantasy I would urge you to try this series. I am going to give Stalking The Others 4 stars. I would have given it 5 but Ms Haines tended to keep giving us the same information over and over and I got a tad fed up with this. But other than that I thought this was a great addition to the series. So did Shia turn furry and did she get it on with Alec……well you will just have to read it and find out for yourself.

Yeah I can undertand, he doesn't have a real place in this one, only when she thinks about him. But we can see him a few times as well. Happy reading darling!
Woohoo at least he appears. Did you see this interview with Alec http://allthingsuf.com/2012/06/interv...
I finished Melliane! Wow so good although (view spoiler). I'm looking forward to the next book already.
