Agent of Change: Region Two Series: Book Four
The vampires are uniting.
There’s a sword hanging over my family’s head.
And I’ve accidentally adopted a semi-feral killer who thinks I’m his fated-mate.
As the team’s intel specialist, I can hack a CCTV camera in my sleep, and my contact network is the best in the Company’s history. It still took getting captured for me to discover how close our enemies are. At least I left a surprise planted in their system.
I escaped with more than a backdoor into their files, though. Owen, a human the vampires molded into a lethal fighter, is an invaluable addition to our team, despite his only knowledge of life outside his cage coming from pilfered romance novels. Super unexpectedly, the brooding, barely socialized warrior who swears we’re fated-mates gets me in a way no one ever has.
But overconfidence once nearly cost me everything. As the vampire army closes in, I’m racing to decrypt the stolen data and uncover the vamps’ weakness. With the Company and my family’s existence at stake, there’s no margin for error.
Plot twist? The longer I spend with Owen, the less sure I am that he’s really human.
Do I dare trust my instincts, then ones screaming Owen would never betray me, when the wrong choice means the destruction of everyone I love?

Kimi and Owen meet when they are both being geld captive. She is determined to protect him but he is more than capable, especially now that they are fated. This was an exciting story full of suspense and intrigue. I can't wait for the next one.
I received an ARC of this story and voluntarily leave this review.

truly awesome
This book is excellent! Owen is a wonderful character, the plot is amazing, and I couldn’t put it down. You need to read the first three books in the series for it to make sense, but they are all fantastic reading. Intricate storyline, with characters that you can really empathise with.

This is an excellent PNR storyline with drama, violence, twists, chemistry, danger, and a chance for a new beginning. The MCs are determined, intelligent, strong, engaging, and focused. I enjoyed this entertaining fast-paced, action-adventure read. I voluntarily read an ARC and this is my honest review.

A Cryptic Look at Cryptids.
Agent of Change: Region Two Urban Fantasy Series Book Four covers about every divergent character possible in an Urban Fantasy. Janet Walden-West has an incredibly creative imagination. All four of her Agent books capitalize on her ability to populate her novels with fascinating creations.
Agent of Change is notable for its character, Owen. As he is a creation rather than a born person, we readers are along for the ride as Owen learns what it means to be Human. Some of Owen's mistakes are silly or endearing. Some of his mistakes are likely to result in either him or the other person being killed.
In a book packed with action, such as Agent Change, you can imagine the tension that builds as Owen tries to fit in with his Company family, especially when they are going to ask him to be designated as an Asset.
Of course, there are spicy subplots woven into the hard work of training. Agent Kimora takes to Owen from the very beginning and he comes to look upon her as a highly favored person. I'll let you fill in the blanks.
I was sorry to see the end of Agent Change, I had become enamoured of most of the family and will miss reading about them. The author serves up a perfect portion of a book, one long enough to sink your teeth into, and a well-developed story with a lively narrative. I can highly recommend this book.

This is a fast paced, action packed, intense, suspenseful, love story, mainly about Kimi and Owen. The good guys from “The Company” fight to save innocents from the bad guys of “The Syndicate”.
I enjoyed it so much, I am going to read the previous books from this series. Great book!!!

These vampires tried to make Owen out of something he isn’t, by reprogramming him and other things. Owen has some difficulty in communicating, until he meets this agent Kimi who is the only person he can trust. I gave this 4 stars, because Kimi can help Owen move on from the past.

a must read !!!
This is a fast pace storyline adventure the characters are so life like! I especially like the interaction of English and Spanish slang during the storyline. My only question is when is the next book coming out. Need more Owen and Kimi.

I loved this book and cannot wait for more set in this world. I was instantly enthralled with all of the characters and hoping that Kimi and Owen got their HEA. I was on my seat waiting to see what was going to happen next and at the end my heart just broke right along with Kimi’s.

Once back with the rest of her team-family, they soon realise the depth of the mistreatment of Owen at the hands of The Syndicate. Owen is soon one of the gang but his past doesn't want to stay in the past.
Owen is a complete sweetheart. He has resisted all procedures to turn him into a killing machine. His secret store of books, ROMANCE tyvm, have given him ideas of what relationships are like and he uses them and some quite frank but useful talks with the guys on the team to formulate how to tell Kimi what he wants.

An amazing story that will keep you wanting more. Vampires, secrets and maybe even a romance. This book definitely doesn’t disappoint, ready for the next.

This was a unique, PNR action/adventure Romance! The Sci-fi aspects were interesting and imaginative and the storyline never stopped! I was glad I had previously read one of the prior books in the series for some of the background info- though it isn’t strictly necessary, it helped. I can hardly wait to read all the rest in this series!

A Bloody Mess
Vampires have developed methods to increase their spread, and to manufacture more kinds of modified humans. They're rapidly becoming a threat to the rest of humanity, so groups of humans are being trained and equipped to fight back. A major problem is simply RECOGNIZING which humans have been changed by the vampire scientists - and the human groups' detection methods aren't infallible. What happens when one of the vampires' experiments goes awry?

Oh i love LOVE it! Owen is so cute and loyal and yes deadly but he is not evil at all...refusing his order to kill, wanting to learn and read he may be the results of genetic experiment but he still has his own mind ...which for his creators means he must be "repaired" or disposed of. When is given the opportunity to flee with an human, a creature he was supposed to kill on sight , he discovers that not all what he was taught was correct, that company agents can be kind and they don't kill on sight..suddenly he wants to fit in, to join this family team he did not know existed...but going from fighting every minute to be fed or not show weakness to learning communication and what eing social means is not an easy feat. However for Kimi he is redy to do everything.
Kimi is determined to proted her sister and the rest of her family, since her sister got infected and became a vampire they have become a shadow team, an experiment team with a damocles sword above their head...if one mistake, one revelation then it's being killed by their superior....hoping to find a curse she is ready to infiltrate a vampire stronghold but she was not expecting to be captured , drugged and to awoke in a lab with another captive in the next cell. Since company rule is to protect humans, and innocent she is willing to escape with him, not expecting teh great fighter he is and even less a fated bond.. but Owen suffered greatly and she wants to protect him opening to him like she never did....even if it means more secrets and risks.
Oh i loved, loved it the tension is high and even if you missed precedent books you can still enjoy this one it's not exactly a stand alone but you get enough info to be immersed into the story and then you just want mpore if you are alike me so discovering what happened before and after is high priority on my list.
Urban fantasy with cryptids, vampires, humour, tension and some steamy moments this is a great book! in an excellent series
