THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND THE VAMPIRE is Book 4 in the Dead
in the City series by Sara Humphreys. Trixie LaRoux
and
Dakota Shelton are vampires in the same coven but are
complete opposites. Dakota's sexy cowboy swagger and his
approach of "killing her with kindness" get under Trixie's
skin. Along with the rescue mission Dakota and
Trixie eventually undertake and some adventures with
witches and gargoyles, the theme of fate or destiny is
interwoven throughout THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND THE VAMPIRE.
Trixie and Dakota are both multifaceted characters and
THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND THE VAMPIRE is very much a
character-driven story. The choices Trixie and
Dakota both made, as well as the things that were done to
them in their pasts, are integral to the story and how it
develops. Although Trixie takes on the tough punk girl
persona, she is revealed to be a very sensitive and
vulnerable soul who still struggles with self-acceptance.
Dakota's personal narrative is about justice and
redemption. The road they take to being totally fine with
who they are, as well as finding happiness together is
both frustrating at times and rewarding. I found myself
rooting for them the entire book.
There is a lot that goes on in THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND THE
VAMPIRE to drive the characters crazy and forces them to
play detective, but Sara Humphreys manages to incorporate
it all with the paranormal sexiness seamlessly. Since
Trixie is a little prickly to Dakota at the beginning of
the story, I like how working together to thwart evil and
save the day got them to understand each other a little
more. There are lots of surprises as the story progresses
to keep things exciting and a little bit dangerous.
THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND THE VAMPIRE is a compelling story
about fate and overcoming your past—with vampire good
guys, sinister villains, and a gargoyle queen thrown in.
Sara Humphreys brings things to a satisfying conclusion
that makes sense for the characters. New characters make
for tantalizing possibilities for future books. I am
anxious to see what awaits some of my favorite supporting
characters.
Beloved author Sara Humphreys' acclaimed paranormal romance series continues with sweltering attraction between two vampires who have all the time in the world to satisfy their desires...He wants eternity? Dakota Shelton is a vampire cowboy with a penchant for cinnamon lollipops and Johnny Cash. Though highly skilled and deadly dangerous to his enemies, he's still a Texas good ol' boy at heart. And he has that heart set on wooing Trixie LaRoux-the most badass punk rock chick in town-the old-fashioned way. Over her undead body... Trixie is tough as nails and sharp as a silver stake-the last thing she wants is a man to sit on a porch and not grow old with. So it'll take going to hell and back fighting a new threat to vampires before she admits Dakota's courtship makes her blood hum. Turns out chivalry's not dead after all.
