    About this ebook

    The Kai Gracen Series: Book Three

    Stalker Kai Gracen knew his human upbringing would eventually clash with his elfin heritage, but not so soon. Between Ryder, a pain-in-his-neck sidhe lord coaxing him to join San Diego’s Southern Rise Court, and picking up bounties for SoCalGov, he has more than enough to deal with. With his loyalties divided between the humans who raised him and the sidhe lord he’s befriended and sworn to protect, Kai finds himself standing at a crossroads.

    When a friend begs Kai to rescue a small group of elfin refugees fleeing the Dusk Court, he’s pulled into a dangerous mission with Ryder through San Diego’s understreets and the wilderness beyond. Things go from bad to downright treacherous when Kerrick, Ryder’s cousin, insists on joining them, staking a claim on Southern Rise and Kai.

    Burdened by his painful past, Kai must stand with Ryder against Kerrick while facing down the very court he fears and loathes. Dying while on a run is expected for a Stalker, but Kai wonders if embracing his elfin blood also means losing his heart, soul, and humanity along the way.

      When Kai’s good friend Duffy comes to see him, she has a favor to ask. She wants Kai to help convince Ryder to provide haven to refugees from a Dusk Court. She has been helping many cross into San Diego over the years, but this group is special – they have children with them. Ryder doesn’t need any convincing, but he has a different problem. His cousin Kerrick has been sent by the Sebac to stake a claim on Rider’s new court!My first thought after starting Jacked Cat Jive was “aha! – here is the character development I was waiting on for Ryder!” While the plot is simplistic, another adventure/Stalker run, the interaction between the characters is what makes it engrossing. Kai is not happy about Kerrick, especially when he insists on coming on the run, but his presence also fuels a deeper dialog between Kai and Ryder that reveals a lot about both.In addition to the character development, this entry also introduces a new power player from the Dusk Court and expands on the politics of the Fae. I love this world Ford has created and my only disappointment is that I now have to wait for the next book. Overall, a fantastic urban fantasy series with rich characters and a subtle romance. Highly recommended.
