I enjoyed this first installment of the series, a spin off from the Riley Jensen series, but it didn't quite meet my expectations. I was a big fan of the Riley series so my expectations were high, and while this was a good read and the continued world development was interesting I wasn't as invested in the characters as I'd like to be. Risa is a somewhat psycic half werewolf half Aedh that gets dragged into a mess that could destroy the world because of her unique powers. Riley and Quinn do appear, but in a very peripheral role, sort of like a shoutout or something. 
 (view spoiler)[Risa's mother is killed just before the end spurring Dia to make the (somewhat dumb) decision to work with/for Director Hunter. (hide spoiler)] I kind of don't like this as a plot device, especially since it was obvious to me it was going to happen, but this story was really laying the ground work for the rest of the series - I do plan to continue. 
 *Edited-Risa is the main character and Dia is her mother.
