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.

After the events in
Hunted by The Others changed Shiarra’s life so completely, it was hard for me to imagine where Jess Haines would be able to take these adventures.
Taken by the Others is all about the Vamps and once again Shiarra finds herself right in the thick of things, even when she doesn’t really mean to.
Well, being tempted to join the anti-paranormal group The White Hats, dating a were, being contracted to a Vamp and hanging out with a Mage that happens to be your best friend’s boyfriend, definitely aren’t inducing to a non-violent and laid back lifestyle, are they?
Once again Jess Haines brings on the goods and delivers a compelling and entertaining adventure that I did not want to stop reading for a second!
I love how Jess is not afraid of putting her leading lady through the ringer and treating her like a human being, a very pro-active one at that, but still a human being that has her faults and is not afraid of recognizing.
The H & W Investigations series is fast becoming one of my faves and it is definitely one series for which I will be eagerly awaiting for, whenever a new installment is expected.
If you are an avid Urban Fantasy reader like me, I totally recommend this series to you, You won’t regret it! If you have read
Hunted by The Others, you will definitely want to read Taken by the Others.

Jessica@a GREAT read
I'm a huge fan of Jess Haine, these books are awesome. x
This does look like such a great series, I love an author who isn't afraid to torture her characters (and therefore her readers) just a bit. I like always being on the edge of my seat knowing no one is really safe! I need to pick up the first one, thanks Larissa!
She looks kick-ass on that cover! Great review! I haven't read this series yet, but now I'm very tempted.
I'm so glad I read your review. I'd forgotten about Hunted by the others and I did enjoy it so it was great to be reminded of that. I just added it in my TBR file on goodreads so I don't forget again.
Terrific review (as always!)
