Secrets are deadly.
Being hunted is never pleasurable.
Not knowing whom to trust as everyone seems to pursuit his or her own goals makes life complicated.
Yet EmVee is here, determined to get her answers and save her family. With Kayson at her side, the same Kayson she loved years ago, the same one who was best friend with the man she dated and who tried to kill her.
Thank God for friends like Demi.

I really enjoyed this book. EmVee had been attacked by her boyfriend, who it turns out was a monster. Now she is one too. She finds that the boyfriend's best friend (Kayson) had known what he was and didn't warn her. She finds that Kayson too was made into a monster in the same way as she was. He helps her get back to a place that they had both came from, with the intention of finding her family whom she had believed were dead. Now it seems that maybe they weren't, but they were back in that mag

Overall rating: 4.3 (ku)
The storytelling used vocabulary very appropriate for the young adult reader. These characters played their roles well and I appreciated the main characters reluctance to bond. This author did not make these characters out to be perfect beings, which allows them to be more relatable. These are many mysteries left to unravel which makes the yearning for more of this series even better. Glad to have read this and have release date of book 2 on my calendar. All my reviews ar ...more

EmVee is such a strong person. I mean that is both mind and body. This is an interesting spin on the supernatural genre. A lot happens in this first book. The biggest question is who can you trust. This book is fast-paced and action packed. If you like anything to do with the supernatural genre, strong females and action then this book is for you.

Hooked me in from the first page!
I was hooked from the first page. I love the different mix of fantasy, science fiction and a little romance. EmVee uses her natural abilities as a trained fighter to save her friends and family from the evil overlord. Her skills as a fighter and a wolf that breathes fire save her again and and again. I loved the book. It was hard to put it down. Lots of action that kept the story moving I’m looking forward to reading the next in the series!!

Love this story
Was glad to return to EmVee and here story. Was surprised with some of the other characters turning up on the good side. Also the love between her and Kayson was a great turn on the story They make a great pair. Can’t wait for the next book in the series. Loved how they combined mythology and paranormal.

This is the first book in a new series by this author and I found it hard to put down.

Let me start by saying I typically don’t like books that are written in the third person point of view. I have a really hard time connecting to the characters when the books are in third person. Once I got over the fact that this book was written in the third person I absolutely loved it! I definitely recommend giving this book a read!

Caged Fire is the first book of the Vigilant Series and I loved it! The book grabs your attention right from the beginning full of action, suspense, love and sacrifice. I was hooked the minute I started reading and I couldn’t put it down. I highly recommend this book and can’t wait to see what happens next!

EmVee is even more of a kick butt heroine now that she’s coming in to her abilities. She was already quite the spitfire when she was a teen training in her parents’ MMA gym. She’s lost her mom, her family, and then watched her dad be murdered. She has to decide whether or not to trust an old friend/fiend in order to find the woman who shot her dad.

EmVee and her father had been on the run. but "they" caught up with EmVee and her father and now her father has disappeared leaving her to pay the debt! She has no idea who to trust but despite her feelings, she must trust the monster who destroyed her life. ... to be continued!

I really enjoyed reading this book. EmVee gets close to a new ally discovers secrets about her family. If you enjoy werewolves and MMA fighters, you'll enjoy reading this book.
