UF Review: Fair Game [Mass Market Paperback]



I've read "Fair Game" the 3rd book in her Guardian series by Taylor Keating.

Product Description

Video-game designer River Weston has seen her world torn apart. The streets of Earth have filled with looting, sickness, and fighting, but River knows that she is in a unique position to help. Drawing on her Fae magic, she creates a computer-generated program called Hollow Man, designed to protect humans during battle. Worlds away, Guardian Chase Hawkins has finally returned to his own body after years of astral projection. His mission now that he's back: retrieve River, who is walking a dark path without even knowing it, and strip her world of the technology that has brought it to ruin. Hawk and his team arrive on Earth only to discover that River's new computer program endangers the world all on its own. An old human virus has resurrected and mutated with a computer virus inside of Hollow Man, and it's spreading uncontrollably. Hawk is convinced it's too late to save Earth ... but River isn't ready to give up hope yet. River and Hawk find themselves on opposing sides, yet drawn together stronger than ever before. But a future with both of them in it could mean walking paths darker than either of them could ever have imagined.

My Review:

Chase Hawkins is a Guardian who has recently been released to return to his own body from astral projection.  He can't wait to get back to earth and River his new love.  His superiors have decided that Earth isn't ready for the technology that River has designed and has ordered Chase and his team to defuse them.  He is ordered to bring her back and to explain what he must do.

Before Chase leaves he discovers a deadly plot against Earth and a secret lineage related to River.  He forms a shaky alliance with her Fae spiritual leader grandfather but he will make sure he reaches her.

River Weston is a video game designer who has dedicated her life to save human kind and her friends/family until Chase can come back to her.  She has to contend with a sadistic evil villain who is still chasing her and a new virus that is spreading through her hologram program she has developed.

This series is a dark urban fantasy full of tense action scenes with a hot intense passionate romance.

4/5
