Red Fox (Experiment in Terror #2) by Karina Halle
GOODREADS SYNOPSIS: In the forgotten town of Red Fox, a Navajo couple is tortured by things unseen and by motives unknown. Wild animals slink through their house in the dark, a barrage of stones pound their roof nightly, and mutilated sheep carcasses are turning up on their property. Armed with a camera and just enough to go on, Perry and Dex travel to the desolate locale, hoping to film the supernatural occurrences and add credibility to their flailing webcast. Only their show has a lot more working against them than just growing pains. Tested by dubious ranch hands, a ghost from Dex’s past, and shapeshifting deception, the amateur ghost hunters must learn to trust each other in order to fight the most ancient of myths…or die trying.

As the follow up to Darkhouse, the first of the Experiment in Terror series, this book seemed to shed a little light on Dex, Perry's "partner" on "Experiment in Terror" (their internet show) and secret love interest. He's kind of an enigma -- which is somewhat frustrating and, at the same time, intriguing to Perry (and the reader).
The two go to investigate a case at a farm in New Mexico where several sheep have been brutally killed and a number of other strange occurrences happen at the farm. The area is rich in Navajo culture, including two native americans that work on the farm.
This was a REALLY good story. The sexual tension between Dex and Perry is insane and it was a constant "will they or won't they." It drove me crazy! The ending was a little predictable. I kind of knew what was happening all along -- really, it was spelled out for you. But it was interesting how they got there and i enjoyed the story and, as before, the author's writing.
And I could not wait to pick up the third book to find out what happens with Perry and Dex. Like, seriously. I bought it minutes after finished this one.
