In July, the fourth novel of Jess Haines H&W Investigation series, Stalking The Others, will be released and guess who got her hands on it early. My review won’t be posted for awhile yet, but I couldn’t wait to ask Jess about a few things. I mean, c’mon, I couldn’t be the only one who came away with the feeling that Chaz was a complete asshat. Plus, what is going to happen with Shia!? There’s a lot that goes on in Stalking The Others and while I won’t be giving away any spoilers, I’ll definitely be grilling Jess about a few things that I’m sure everyone will be curious about as well.
Do you have any questions of your own that you would like to ask Jess? Do you want a little insight into Stalking The Others before it comes out on July 3rd? If so, please join Jess and I at Talk Shoe on May 8th at 9:30pm EST as we discuss Stalking The Others, Shia, Chaz, Royce and all the gang that make up the H&W Investigation series.

Warning: We will be discussing the fourth novel, Stalking The Others, and what readers can expect from Shia and the gang, however no spoilers will be given (unless you want to stay after the recording ends, then I could be convinced *grin*). Please note, spoilers from the previous books are going to happen. We’ll try to keep the hardcore spoilers to a minimum, but there are no guarantees.
Haven’t read the series yet? What are you waiting for?! Here are the books, in order:
Hunted By The OthersShiarra 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 OthersOnce, 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.
Deceived By The OthersShiarra’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 OthersVampires, werewolves, mages–the Others are very real, and wreaking havoc in Shiarra Waynest’s life. But now, she’s returning the favor…
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.
Of course, with all the threats against her, Shia’s not sure she’ll live long enough to find out. The enigmatic vampire Royce wants her back in his clutches, as do two powerful werewolf packs, along with the police. Instead of going into hiding, Shia is enlisting the aid of her enchanted hunter’s belt and every dirty P.I. trick she knows. If she’s going down, she’ll take out as many of her enemies as she can–and hope that in the process, she keeps whatever humanity she has left…
