Hunter, A Thieves Series Book 1
Kelsey Atwood is a private detective with a problem. She came from a family of hunters, growing up on the wrong side of the supernatural world. Tracking down bail jumpers and deadbeat dads may not make her a lot of friends, but it’s a lot safer than the life she turned her back on. She was hoping to escape from the nightmares of her past, but her latest case has brought them right back to her door.
A young woman has gone missing, and she didn’t go willingly. When Kelsey discovers that the girl is actually a shifter, she knows she should drop the case and walk away. But this shifter was a sweet kid, and she’s in serious trouble. More females are missing and the evidence points to a legendary killer. Bodies are piling up, and her case is becoming center stage for a conflict that could shatter the fragile peace between wolves and vampires.
As the hunt intensifies, she finds herself trapped between two men—Gray, a magnetic half-demon lawman, and the ancient vampire Marcus Vorenus. Both men call to her, but when a shocking secret about Kelsey’s family is revealed, it could ruin them all. To stop the killer, she will have to embrace the truth about who—and what—she truly is.

Kelley’s Review
Lexi’s stories just keep getting better and better. The Thieves series is my absolute favorite urban fantasy series. The characters are complex and the problems they face seem to be getting darker and darker. It is very easy to get lost in Lexi’s stories as you embark on epic adventures with the most unusual characters.
In Ripper, the gang is back together again and we see what life is like after Daniel becomes king, a father, and a partner to both Zoey and Dev. When he faces what the Nex Apparatus really is, he handles things poorly and in the blink of an eye evertying is sprialling out of control. He forced to make some harsh decisions that go against those advice of those he whom he loves.
Kelsey Atwood is a loner. She has only one real friend and she keeps people at arms length. Kelsey will find out later on that there is a reason why, and she will not want to accept it. She is a badass tracker and can find things that other people overlook which makes her a great private investigator. When she is given a missing person’s case that leads her into the supernatural world, she finds something that she never though existed. Love.
Grayson Sloane is in love with Kelsey Atwood. He has been since the day he laid down in a hotel bridal suite and had a vision of her as his beautiful bride. Now he just has to convince Kelsey that his love for her is real. That becomes a much harder feat than he ever anticipated. Once the truth is uncovered he stands to loose everything.
Of course we get to see the infamous Marcus Vorenus. I have been rooting for Marcus to get a happily ever after since Steal The Light and it almost seems as if he does, but there is only one problem. Kelsey is not a vamipire companion and Marcus’s destiny is set in place. He will have a companion someday. For now he becomes her closest confidant and trains her to trust her instincts and control what lies beneath the exterior.
This story made me laugh and cry and kept me up until 1:00 am on a work night. I was gripping my iPad during the finale fight scene so hard my fingers are still store. Lexi had me on the edge of my seat. I adored Kelsey and am looking forward to her next adventure in this series. Bravo Lexi on writting one heck of a rollercoaster ride.
