Vampires Never Cry Wolf (Dead in the City #3)
by Sara Humphreys
Blurb:
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?

Review:
NYC will never be the same now the wolves have
moved in on the vampire territory and big changes are coming to the hidden
world of paranormals when two unexpected lovers find each other. This series is a spin off from the Amoveo
series and the characters continue to make the stories interesting and you
never know what might happen next in this world. I have enjoyed each new installment of this
series, learning something new about the characters and their legends and
finding out that I wish I had the imagination Sara has. This story revolves around the attraction that
has been simmering between Sadie and Killian since they encountered one another
in the last book, but I never imagined just how awesome their connection would
turn out and how much their relationship would change their worlds. The story takes several interesting turns,
but at its core, it remains a love story between two people that have been
searching for their other half and had almost given up hope. I am really looking forward to whoever has
the next story in this series and seeing where this amazing world will take us
next.
Sadie
and Killian have their differences but the attraction between them is
undeniable and when they find themselves in close quarters there is no way they
can keep their hands off each other. While Killian is chasing after Sadie,
looking for a little fun, he never imagines that she is the woman of his
dreams—literally. As they get to know
each other more and embrace the passions they bring out of each other, the truth
of their meaning to one another comes to light and changes them both
forever. The fate of their worlds lies
in the way they handle their burgeoning relationship, but outside influences
put them and their loved ones into danger they never anticipated.
Sadie
was the type of heroine I loved, full of sass, determined to protect herself
and her loved ones, and willing to give her heart only to the right man and
she’ll make Killian work to prove he is that man. I loved seeing the changes in her and the way
she embraced them even though they scared her a bit. She obviously is a fighter
in every sense of the world and as she fights with Killian and against their
enemies at his side; her spunk and courage make her an ultimate warrior. Killian is a bit of an arrogant bastard at
first, but as we get to know him, more we come to appreciate the man he could
be with the calming influence of a good woman.
He leads with his heart, but uses his head as well in all decisions,
making him a dynamic leader and sensual lover.
I liked seeing him fall at Sadie’s feet and work to prove to her that he
is the man for her. When they team up
against their enemies he never forgets the fact that she is beside him, letting
her do what she needs to help, but keep her safe at the same time.
I
didn’t really know what to expect with this novel, mainly because we have only
gotten glimpses of Sadie’s character in the past and I wasn’t sure if I would
like the new roles she’s been taking in the coven. She is growing up and becoming an integral
part of her world and when she begins to change and embrace her new life as
Killian’s mate we know that she will be a great ruler by his side. Killian’s sweet side thankfully overcomes his
arrogance and finds a way to prove to Sadie that they can have a happy and full
life if they mate and join heart and soul.
The heat between Sadie and Killian flares any time they are in the same
room and even when they are just thinking about one another you can feel the strength
of desire they have for one another. The
villain in the story was hidden right until the end, even though I had my sessions,
and the way Humphreys sets up conflict is so beautifully done that you never
realize you’ve been had until the big climax.
I enjoyed every second of this book and am looking forward to seeing
more of Killian and Sadie in future novels, much like I enjoyed seeing couples
from the previous novels interwoven in this one. There seems to be an endless depth to the
imagination of the author and I know that whatever comes next I will grab it as
soon as it’s available and love it just as much. If you’ve missed previous stories in this
series (or in the original series of the Amoveo) you might find yourself
missing some of the finer details but you will by no means be lost, so my
recommendation is to read Sadie and Killian’s story and once you’re hooked go
back to the very beginning and read them all!
