Vampires Never Cry Wolf: 3 (Dead in the City, 3) Mass Market Paperback – Picture Book, 3 April 2015

Wonderful third book in this interesting series. This book does not disappoint. Lillian and Sadies story is unique in their world.

Vampires and werewolves together in a well written story is parawhore heaven – Sara Humphreys has delivered a book with steamy chemistry between our main couple, tension and intrigue, a cast of primary & secondary characters that leave you wanting more of each and every one and, of course, my favourite of all book boyfriends, an arrogant alpha wolf shifter (excuse me while I drool….).I adore paranormal and shifters are my first love so I’m always ready to read these stories.Killian is a werewolf shifter prince, reluctant heir to the throne and arrogant through and through yet a gentleman, which is quite the contrast! Sophie is a 200 year old vampire who owns and runs a nightclub, The Coven in NY, which is a vampire city, so the arrival of the wolves is greeted with suspicion and the interest of Killian in Sophie is far from the norm. The world building is quite impressive but even though this is book 3 and I am new to both the author and series I was not lost or confused at any point. Their chemistry is steamy as I mentioned, the dance between them was enjoyable and my only moan would be that I needed a little more action and a little less “why we can’t” – the push and pull between them was the main focus and for the most part romped along well, I just needed a tad less repetitive monologue and a bit more steam & action which is why four stars and not five.The banter between all characters was funny, sassy & witty and so totally enjoyable and there are a few secondary characters I would like to see a lot more of in an interesting world Ms Humphreys is creating. An easy read that for the most part romps along, I liked it, enjoyed it and would read more from this author.

4 stars--VAMPIRES NEVER CRY WOLF is the third installment in Sara Humphreys’s adult, contemporary Dead in the City paranormal romance series. This is heir to the werewolf throne Prince Killian Bane, and vampire Sadie Pemberton’s-owner of the supernatural nightclub The Coven-storyline. We were first introduced to our leading couple in the previous storylines. Although VAMPIRES NEVER CRY WOLF is the third book in the series, it can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information and history are revealed where necessary.Told from alternating third person points of view the storyline follows Sadie and Killian’s building relationship as well as uncovering the identity of the person threatening Killian’s up and coming New York nightclub- The Loup Garou. As heir to the throne, thirty year old Killian must find a mate before his thirty fifth birthday but something about Sadie pulls at Killian’s heart. He has always dreamed about a beautiful woman with the ‘mark of the moon’ but mating with a vampire is forbidden-until the moment Killian sees a moon shaped scar on Sadie’s shoulder. What ensues is Killian’s pursuit of Sadie and Sadie’s need to push Killian away. Finding one’s bloodmate means losing the psychic connection with everyone in her family and coven. Sadie fears the loss of contact with her sire and progeny.The relationship between Sadie and Killian is a story of forbidden love. Killian is immediately attracted to Sadie and pursues the woman under the guise of gathering information for his, as yet, unopened nightclub. Sadie knows that to drink from a werewolf is forbidden but her need increases with the bloodmate bond that ties our couple together. The sex scenes are intimate, provocative and intense.Meanwhile, threatening letters against Killian and his club continue to pile up. When the latest note threatens physical violence, Killian and Sadie take matters up with the Presidium (ruling supernatural council) and an investigation unfolds into the who and why. It is not until Killian’s father goes missing does the need increase to put an end to the intimidation and menace.The secondary and supporting cast includes the previous storyline couples -New York Coven Czars Doug and Olivia, and Maya and Shane, as well as Sadie’s friends and coworkers from ‘The Coven’. We are introduced to Killian’s guards Ivan and David, as well as a woman who believes she is Killian’s intended mate. Killian’s father is a bit of a surprise-not only is the man the most powerful in the werewolf kingdom but he knows a thing or two about love and finding one’s mate.The world building continues to draw on the nightlife of The Coven; the vampires, the shifters and their tempestuous relationship. The waters are tepid; the alliance is on shaky grounds but the mating between Sadie and Killian may be the glue that holds everything together.Sara Humphreys pulls the reader into a fascinating, complex and imaginative world of the supernatural. The writing style is engaging with a compelling and enjoyable plot-supernatural politics just became a little more confusing. Her stories will entertain, compel and arouse the curiosity in every lover of the paranormal romance. Sara’s stories are always a pleasure to read.

My Thoughts - 5 out of 5 Unicorns - I loved it!!!***Received a copy of the ebook for an honest review via NetgalleyThe cover is what attracted me to this book….very sexy and intriguing :)Okay this is my first time reading Sara Humphreys and WOW, I’m not sure how I have missed her work up until this time :) She pulled me right into the story and I didn’t want to put it down. I was very annoyed when I had to stop to make dinner…lol! The order on this series does not matter, but I bet it helps you connect with the series better if you do. I will definitely be in the market for more books by Sara when I have the money especially to read the first two books in this series. I also really want to read The Amoveo Legend series too :)Alrighty :) Sadie is amazingly snarky and strong female lead….just the way I like it :) I love when she is honest and puts a certain sexy Alpha Prince in his place ;) I also love Killian though he is everything I’d want in a sexy shifter. He puts Sadie first and goes all caveman to protect her and worry about her. She has had lots of changes and surprises in this book, but as always, you must read it to know more because I never want to ruin someone else’s book experience :)I highly recommend to paranormal romance fans especially if you are already a fan of Sara. I also think if you love Lynsay Sands, Kerrelyn Sparks, and Christine Feehan that you really need to add Sara Humphreys to the list :)
