Guest Post and Giveaway with Sara Humphreys; Vampires Never Cry Wolf

Vampire and Werewolf Politics by Sara Humphreys:

In the supernatural world of the Dead in the City series, vampires and werewolves have had a delicate treaty in place for about two hundred years. To a human, two centuries is a long time but to those in a preternatural world it’s a mere blink.

Vamps and werewolves have long memories and they know how to hold a grudge.

The treaty has been able to be maintained because everyone plays nice in the proverbial sandbox and keeps to their own territory. Werewolves own the rural areas but reside predominantly in Alaska and Canada. The vamps own the major cities but have strongholds in Manhattan, Las Vegas, New Orleans, Miami, and Los Angeles.

If a wolf visits any vampire run city, they make their presence known with a formal introduction to the local czars of the Presidium—the vampire government.

The Werewolf Society is run by King Heinrich Bane and his only living son, Killian, is the heir apparent. Killian is supposed to assume the throne in five years but first he has to take a mate. However, not just any she-wolf will do. He’s dreamed of a woman with the mark of the moon on her shoulder and refuses to mate with anyone other than her.

That would be great if he could find her.

King Heinrich and Emperor Zhao, the leader of the Presidium, have both agreed that relations between the two communities needs, to be improved. Tolerance is great but both leaders want to see true partnership between their races. As a result, Killian is allowed to live in NYC to help bridge the gap between the two communities. He is also opening his own nightclub and plans on setting up house in Manhattan for at least the next five years.

The vamps aren’t thrilled that a pack of werewolves have moved into the city. The younger vampires don't seem to mind the newest residents of Manhattan but the older vamps like, Sadie Pemberton, The Coven’s new proprietor, remember the war. Sadie knows all too well the vicious and unpredictable nature of the wolves.

She wants nothing to do with any werewolves and she definitely doesn’t want any part of lame boring politics.

Nada. Zip. Fughettaboutit.

Until a certain hunky werewolf prince, with a cocky grin and a smart mouth, starts to visit her club night after night.

Suddenly, politics just got a whole lot sexier.

Title: Vampires Never Cry Wolf

Author: Sara Humphreys

Publisher: Sourcebooks Casablanca

Genre: Paranormal Romance

Vampires are nothing but trouble…

As far as beautiful vampire Sadie Pemberton is concerned, werewolves shouldn’t be sticking their noses into New York’s supernatural politics. They don’t know jack about running a city—not even that hot-as-sin new vampire-werewolf liaison who’s just arrived in town.

Werewolves are too sexy for their own good… The last thing Killian Bane wanted was to end up in New York City playing nice with vampires. Unfortunately, he’s on a mission, and when he encounters the sexiest, most stubborn female vamp he’s ever met, he’s going to have to turn on a little of that wolfish charm…and Sadie’s going to learn a thing or two about what it means to have a wild side…

Sadie Pemberton is the DJ at the hottest vampire club in New York City, and she
loves her freedom almost as much as she hates werewolves. She has no desire to tie herself to anyone for eternity—even the deliciously sexy Killian Bane—werewolf prince and heir apparent who has been sent to patrol the city.

But Sadie bears the mark of the moon—the mark that Killian has been looking for, the mark that's meant to reveal his perfect mate. How can the fates be so cruel? Even more importantly, how is he ever going to change her mind?

I had a lot of fun reading this one.  Sadie was a great character.  A vampire and owner of one of the city's hottest night clubs takes up a lot of her time - and now that a pack of werewolves has come to town (and her nightclub) she's getting a little annoyed at them.  Vampires and werewolves don't really get along.  But since one of those wolves, Killian, is the werewolf prince, she has to play nice.

This was a great relationship to watch grow.  The verbal sparring and banter was so much fun!  You knew they really liked each other and were just putting on a show - but it was a good one.  Killian is everything I ever wanted from a werewolf prince.  He is all Alpha and all Male and he knows he wants Sadie.  If she wants to make it a challenge to catch her - well, that's even more fun.

In the background we have the tentative truce between the species and a handful on each side that doesn't care for it.  Also, Sadie is starting to feel a bit weird after taking a sip from Killian - totally loved how this part of the story worked.  The only minor disappointment was the werewolf king, Killian's father.  He's been hyped up as the super bad-ass and then I just didn't get that from him - AT ALL.  Minor complaint, but he had a fairly serious part near the end of the story.
