Experiment In Terror series

As a follow up to yesterdays random review of Darkhouse by Karina Halle, I thought I would post the reading order list.

I also realised I  never gave a real introduction to the series, just the first book. Well, here that is anyway!

The series focuses on the lived of Perry Palomino and Dex Foray. The two are..well, ghost hunters. Okay, Dex is more of a camera man who shoots a variety of webisodes for a living and he may be pretty damn insistant that Perry has to help him by hosting a low budget series focusing on ghost hunters.

Now, as expected (yes we do expect a little somethin' **wiggles eyebrows**) Perry and Dex have a thing. By thing I mean a life filled with sexual tension. And Dex has a girlfriend. Who I think is a super bitch What can I say, I'm totally team Perry/Dex, even if they both piss me off.


Darkhouse (Experiment in Te...Darkhouse (EIT #1)
So, I reviewed this one the other day, but in a nutshell, this one focuses on introducing the two main characters rather than a big, crazy plot. It was nice to get a feel for the characters before diving into their adventures!




Red Fox (Experiment in Terr...Red Fox (EIT #2)
Remember the nice introductions in book 1? Well say goodbye to that! This is crazy. Perry and Dex travel to Red Fox, New Mexico to unravel the truths behind what they thought was your , shall we say usual, haunting's. Poor schmucks, they wouldn't have been more wrong. They thought it would be a nice easy trip to film their first episode. Nuh uh. It was quick paced, kept me on my toes and I admit, it may have scared me (just a little, I swear!). Oh, and there are more hot guys. What can I say, it seemed important that I add that!



The Benson (Experiment in T...The Benson (EIT #2.5)
Okay, so this one really creeped me out. It doesn't matter that it's short, it still has enough punch to keep you on your toes, looking in every dark corner to check that you're alone. Perry and Dex travel to The Benson, rumored to be the most haunted hotel in Portland. Are there really tormented souls walking the halls of The Benson? I'll let you find out. I will say this, even though it is short, it was amazing. Honestly, do not skip this!



Dead Sky Morning (Experimen...Dead Sky Morning (EIT #3)
This is the one that scared me the most. Alone on a creepy Island? Nuh uh. Experiment In Terror is finally receiving the recognition it deserves, so our favorite amateur ghost hunters travel to an Island that was home to a former leper colony, an island where forty souls were left to die and bury one another. Gross. Cruel. Blech. D'Arcy Island is now a campground. What could possibly happen now? Oh man, I did not see this coming. We're not looking at ghosts anymore guys, oh no, this is something else completely. The two are no longer fighting for their lives, they're fighting for their sanity and their friendship too. I have only one thought right now. I would love to be in a tent with Dex right now. Minus creepy Island of course. ;)


Lying Season (Experiment in...Lying Season (EIT #4)
Perry loves Dex. It's no secret that there is some serious as hell sexual tension between the two. In this installment we see Perry has to fight a spirit from Dex's past. Oh yeah, and spend a week with hi and his girlfriend. He he. I love this shit!





On Demon Wings (Experiment ...On Demon Wings (EIT #5)
Holy shit, this was intense! We don't see our favorite duo voluntarily search for supernatural happenings. Oh no, now the evil is at home. It's inside Perry, and only Dex can save her. MmHm. Despite all the drama within her family, she needs Dex. I totally sat teary eyed with this one. I love Perry. I have a big fat girl crush on her.




Old Blood (Experiment in Te...Old Blood (EIT #5.5)
Remember Creepy Clown Lady? Well she is back people! Woohoo! Is it weird that like her? Probably. I'm cool with that. Creepy Clown Lady, AKA Pippa, sent messages to Perry and Dex via EVP recordings. In this novella, we get to know the real Pippa, the one who's tortured past led to her death. What does this mean for Perry? Well, you'll have to go find out ;)




The Dex-Files (Experiment i...The Dex-Files (EIT 5.7)
Dex, oh how I love you. What is this you ask? A compilation novel told from Dex's POV? Oh yes! Do not read this if you have not read the previous books. It focuses on scenes from books 1-6, scenes that we primarily read from Perry's POV. It shines a whole new light on those. Want to get inside Dex's head? See what makes him tick? Click baby click!




Into the Hollow (Experiment...Into the Hollow (EIT #6)
Book 6 already? More Dex? Yes please! Perry says goodbye to home, and hello to Dex and his second chance. Hurrah! What happens when Urban Legend might be, well, true? Taking a trip to the Canadian Rockies doesn't seem so romantic right now. Nope. Perry must learn to trust Dex all over again when something so frightening leaves the two fighting for their lives. **sighs**. I really want Dex.




And With Madness Comes the ...And With Madness Comes the Light (EIT #6.5)
More from Dex's POV. **Happy dance** Hehe. Ever wonder what happened to Dex when Perry left? Now you don't have to! Time wise? It's set between the end on Lying Season (#4) and On Demon Wings (#5). I feel as though Dex deserves some super snuggles right now. Poor guy. 






Come Alive (Experiment in Terror, #7)Come Alive (EIT #7)
I'm re-reading this one right now in preparation for Ashes to Ashes being released in 5 days. FINALLY! Sometimes, living in the UK sucks, big time. We always get the goodies last. Oh well. Back to it. In Come Alive, Dex and Perry are finally giving the whole relationship thing a try. Hurrah! Hehe. BUT, Dex has to convince Perry that everything will work out, on more than one occasion. Poor guy, can't seem to get a break can he? Throw in a Voodoo Sect, Maximus and more Fat Rabbit, this one will keep you entertained until the very last page. Loved this!




What's next? Ashes to Ashes is already available in the US, for all you EIT fans in the UK, five days!
