Vampires and werewolves might be enemies but they need to team up to fight a bigger threat - demons. But negotiating a truce requires sacrifice. Vampire princess, Morgan LaBeaux agrees to bond with werewolf alpha, Jace Vaughn in return for killing the threat but neither one realise the enormity of what they agree to.

I really enjoyed this. This was an easy read with a fun plot, amusing characters and fairly low angst. Morgan was hilarious. I loved her snarky commentary and her badass fighting skills. Jace was endearing with his hidden crush on Morgan. The fated mate trope wasn't explicitly stated but I felt like it existed which made the romance easier to accept. Because the romance between Morgan and Jace was fiery but very instalove. But then it's kind of expected in these sorts of romances. So the romance was a little bit thin development wise but it was enjoyable - very electric.

A well written paranormal romance with likeable characters and a decent plot. 3.5 stars, rounded to 4 stars.

The thriller aspect wasn't my jam (I just don't have the nerves for thrillers) but the paranormal romance aspects worked and I did enjoy the concept - a human psychologist with paranormal clients (vampires, shifters, demons, etc). I was digging the world-building too. However, I don't think I'll read more in the series, again I am just not into thrillers. BUT if you like thrillers and urban fantasy, you may really enjoy this!
