Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. I think I enjoyed this book even more than the first! I am not usually into the whole alpha male concept, but the blend of the badass, hypermasculine men and the unexpected soft side really works. Nowhere else but in a Community novel will you find such gorgeous specimens of man beasts who are quite so virginally innocent! This one had some moments that were decidedly darker than the first, some situations that were almost hard to read. Those moments brought us new characters and new storylines, a couple of which were left unresolved. I am hoping that those stories will be told in future books. One involves the horror of the things that happened to a Dragon female. Another is a surprising revelation that was made almost in passing about the detective from the first novel. There is another between Marissa and her sister, too, that I hope will be explored more at some point, too. I shall say no more about that! There is a lot of unexpected humor that makes the story fantastic to read. There is a whole lot of steamy romance, too, but it is the humor that I truly love. The story is fast-paced with lots of action and twists and turns, too, making it impossible to put down. There was another story within the story, that of Dev's mother, that really added a lot to the mythology of the community. It was one that also brought a whole new level of frustration and angst to the story!! Things to love... --The alpha males with the unexpected innocence. --The strength of the women. No wilting flowers here! --The depth of ALL of the characters, not just the protagonists. My Recommendation: The Bloodline War should definitely be read first to really know the story of the Community. This is a great series with intrigue, action, humor, and no shortage of steaminess! no reviews | add a review

**FINALIST for the 2014 USA Best Books Award for Romance** #1 Amazon Vampire Romance Kindle bestseller in 2014 "I'm so happy to have found this series, which is now on my top list of best paranormal books. If you love the Black Dagger Brotherhood, then this is another series you won't want to miss " Fan review A typical night turns into one of terror when Marissa Bonaventure is savagely kidnapped from her bed. Dragged into what looks like a white slavery exchange, she is helpless to escape...until a smoldering, dark-clad stranger comes from out of nowhere to save her. Marissa is brought to the safety of a quirky underground town, where she's offered a hefty sum of money to work for a year. Saddled with a lifetime of responsibilities, she is all about earning big bucks to fulfill her dreams. The bonus-she can date the smoldering Dev Nichita. But as a string of surreal events unfolds, nothing about the community, or Dev, turns out to be what it seems. Stubborn and arrogant, leader of the elite, Special Operations Topside Team Dev Nichita is used to getting his way. When Marissa rejects him for being a vampire, he reacts with fury and withdrawal. Then an unexpected death forces Dev to face how much he truly wants the mate of his heart. But is he too late? Or can his tenuous relationship with Marissa rise above lies, anger, an otherworldly enemy's threats, and the vicious backlash from a century-old betrayal?

I totally enjoyed the fantastic world building. Vivid descriptions brought the characters, places and events to reality. My imagination was in overdrive! Tracy Tappan, you have a new fan for life! In a library full of muddled books, especially in this genre, this is a standout gem of unmuddledness (yes I made that up!). If you haven’t read any of her books, what are you waiting for? ( )
