This paranormal mixes up the supernatural beings as wolves and vampires and a bit of both hide out in the Arctic Circle. The characters are Levi, Ian and Darius who have already appeared in two books of the Tooth And Claw series and by now are a unit. All three are vampires but confusingly both Levi and Darius are also werewolves. If they bite a person to feed the vampire, the person will turn into a werewolf. The only hope is to find a willing wolf shifter who will allow them to snack. I have to say I started wondering if the wolf would turn into a vampire. But I'm all in favour of giving characters challenges and I wanted to see how long it would take before Ian was a wolf too.

THE UNITED AND THE DIVIDED takes up straight after a previous adventure so the guys are hiding in a boat recovering from wounds and avoiding sunlight. The local villagers on Sitka Island are all wolves and not pleased to think they have vampire guests. However an elderly lady who is respected intercedes for the trio and at least this gives them a chance to explain their position. The narrator changes between chapters which can be a little confusing. Darius has been a vampire for half a century but lately he's made a string of enemies, all wolves. With difficulty they come to an understanding with the wolf pack, but how long will it last?

THE UNITED AND THE DIVIDED includes drinking blood and an ongoing strong, loving gay relationship between the three vampire men. For adult readers only then, with strong language, action, violence and the odd Molotov cocktail just when you thought you could relax.
