Jess Haines Bundle: Hunted By The Others, Taken By The Others, Deceived By The Others, Stalking The Others
They are the Others--the vampires, mages, and werewolves once thought to exist only in our imaginations. Now they're stepping out of the shadows, and nothing in our world will ever be the same again...
Hunted By The Others
In A Town Like This, Being A P.I. Can Be Murder
Shiarra Waynest's detective work was dangerous enough when her client base was strictly mortal. But ailing finances have forced her to accept a lucrative case that could save her firm--if it doesn't kill her first. Shiarra has signed on to work for a high-level mage to recover an ancient artifact owned by one of New York's most powerful vampires.
As soon as Shiarra meets sexy, mesmerizing vamp Alec Royce, she knows her assignment is even more complicated than she thought. With a clandestine anti-Other group trying to recruit her, and magi being eliminated, Shiarra needs back-up and enlists her ex-boyfriend--a werewolf whose non-furry form is disarmingly appealing--and a nerdy mage with surprising talents. But it may not be enough. In a city where the undead roam, magic rules, and even the Others aren't always what they seem, Shiarra has just become the secret weapon in a battle between good and evil--whether she likes it or not...
Taken By The Others
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...
Decieved By The Others
Shiarra's relationship with sexy werewolf Chaz may be somewhat unconventional. Still, after a few bumps, Shia is finally ready to get serious. That means meeting family--or in this case, bringing Chaz's entire werewolf pack along for a rollicking full-moon weekend in the Catskills.
Soon after they arrive, threatening notes appear, warning Chaz to go home. Then their cabin is ransacked. Shia starts digging to find out whether it's the work of upstart teenaged werewolves or something more sinister. Yet as rumors about her vampire connections arouse the pack's hostility, Shia has to contend with other dangers. Not just from an adversary about to make his fatal intentions known, but from a threat that's even closer than she knows...
Stalking The Others
Once, she was one of the good guys--or as close as a New York P.I. can get. Then Shiarra Waynest was drawn into the world of the Others. Every faction has its own loyalties and agenda. And Shia's recent betrayal by her ex-boyfriend means that she may be on the verge of becoming a rogue werewolf at the next full moon...

These books are absurd. I read the first, tried most of the second, skimmed the third, and checked the ending of the fourth.
Ready?
First, the MC is a PI. She spends the first chapter gripping about how she doesn't have enough money to pay the rent on her business apartment. She never brings it up again. In fact, it doesn't matter if at any point she is unable to work because she's in the hospital or has to go into hiding (with her business partner) or etc - those business worries just never get brought up again. That problem isn't just going to go away, you know. Grow up and pay your bills.
Second, she is completely, unbelievably immature. She's approximately 28 years old, but she acts 16. Despite being a PI, she's completely inept, has no idea how to hold a conversation with anyone, vampire or otherwise, and is pathetic in a fight unless there's a special fantasy belt that gives you awesome powers. So...she's useless as a PI.
Where's Veronica Mars when you need her?

Sorry to say, that I read the 4th book "Stalking the Others" first.
Started this after finishing that, same night, today November, 13th 2012.
Better than some other books in the same genre I read.
Great female hero, realistic, strongheaded, stubborn.
I will certainly buy more from her.
And I look forward to the next book in the Other-series.
