Ok, maybe I should have read more than one negative review (which didn't dissuade me from getting the book anyway), but I totally did not get that this was a supernatural/paranormal series. I thought I was heading into a regular M/M detective story and had a reaction similar to reviewer Perri's "WTF" when I got close to the end of the prequel. But I shelled out and bought the next book (Deep Blues Goodbye) and then after reading that, the next and last one (Deadly Shades of Gold). I can't say I'd really give Altered States 4 stars because of the ending, but if you don't read this, you'll never get to the other ones, which I really did like.No, they didn't blow my socks off. (Personally I don't think anything will the way Measure of Devotion and Measure of Strength did, but we're not talking about those are we?) But the story was good. In fact, I still want more. There could even have been more in these: would definitely have wanted the discussion between Sam and Trav in the last book to have been a bit longer. But I'm sure it's not finished...it can't be.The paranormal stuff is good, the characters are (woof!) very likeable! And the M/M action definitely gets the heart pumping! (Try reading this stuff when you're on the stationary bike at the gym - you won't believe you could pedal so fast! The hormones have gotta go somewhere, right?)Anyway, if you like M/M vamps and weres, go for it!
