Forsaken by the Others (H&W Investigations #5)
Have a one night stand with a vampire, and you can end up paying for it for eternity. P.I. Shiarra Waynest, an expert on the Others, knows that better than most. Yet here she is, waking up beside charismatic vamp Alec Royce with an aching head…and neck. Luckily, Shia has the perfect excuse for getting out of town–namely, a couple of irate East Coast werewolf packs who’d like to turn her into a chew toy.
On Royce’s suggestion, Shia temporarily relocates to Los Angeles. But something is rotten–literally–in the state of California, where local vampires are being attacked by zombies. Who could be powerful enough to control them–and reckless enough to target the immortal? Following the trail will lead Shia to a terrifying truth, and to an ancient enemy with a personal grudge…
I'm really sorry about not liking the book, because the first 4 in the series were totally ok and I'm acquainted with Jess, who is a darling. But I just can't get over Shiarras insecurity and angst and stupidity ... Yes, she had to go through a lot of stuff, but instead of growing stronger and maturing and learning to deal with crises (which obviously are going to happen ALL THE TIME to her) she just gets more and more angsty and whiny, having mood swings and being paranoid ... I couldn't even

Forsaken by the Others is an action-packed novel filled with mystery and intrigue.

Rather unwillingly for someone whose life is in mortal danger, Shia relocates to Los Angeles temporarily with her good friend and fellow PI Sara.

Shia is formally with the vampire, Royce now. Before they can get too cuddly, Royce is forced to ship her off across the country to lay low with the vampire of L.A. Shia leaves with her best friend Sara, but instead of finding safe harbor they are forced to deal with Clyde, the vampire of L.A.s problems, namely his zombie problem.Forsaken by the Others is the fifth book in the H&W Investigations series. I would recommend reading the books before this one, although it isnt fully necessary.I'm really sorry about not liking the book, because the first 4 in the series were totally ok and I'm acquainted with Jess, who is a darling.
