Black of Night
Someone is killing redheads in Madison, California, and Matthew Blake wants to know who. As a vampire, he’s not supposed to get involved with human problems, but his customers at the diner where he works are upset, and when he uses his ability to access one of them, he suspects it isn’t something natural that’s hunting in his town.
Rory Coltraine steps in to manage the diner when his uncle’s illness draws him back to Madison. He feels an immediate attraction to the abrupt, borderline rude night cook. But wolves don’t mix with humans, or not sexually, anyway. That doesn’t mean he can’t make an exception.
But Matthew’s not human, and neither is Rory, and the redheads who are dying are Rory’s Clan. When they do finally give in to their mutual attraction, it changes things for both of them.
Between trying to hunt a hunter, dealing with vampires, and the burdens of their places in the world on top of it, can two very different men find time for love? Of course they can.

A Joyfully Jay review.
3.25 stars
Matthew is the strongest of the protagonists in this story and we admire his vulnerability, as well as his detachment and unwillingness to recognize the mated link between Rory and himself. On the other hand, Rory becomes obsessed with the idea of them being “mates” and I think that at times this detracts from other parts of the plot. The word mate is repeated so frequently during the story that it’s meaning diminishes.
Without the mystery thread, which Blue is able to continue throughout Black of Night, I would have been easily frustrated by the story and the constant bickering and make-up sex between Rory and Matthew. However, Blue gives both her paranormal species enough original qualities that the story cannot be classed as formulaic. The development of the plot is a surprise for the reader, though I think the fairytale-type ending will disappoint some.

Original M/M romance
Vampire cook in diner and red wolf shifter romance with mystery suspense. As one of the characters says " its got tv series written all over it." Still enjoyable with well developed characters and some twists. Vampire's clan can go to church and stand a little sun because they are a weaker type of vampire, but there is a big difference between weaker and weak!

I enjoyed this story which had a bit of a light-hearted feel to the relationship. There was banter and a vampire who was sure he couldn't mate, especially to a werewolf. I did find the solution at the end with the grandfather and the whole mess about the family tree kind of confusing and less than satisfying, but when I focused on the two main characters it was fun so I'll give it 4.

Enjoyable read when you're jonesing for vampires. Not her best effort but worth the read.
