When you can't resist the one person who could destroy you...

Sia O'Donnell can't help but push the limits. She secretly attends every underground MMA fight featuring The Predator, the undisputed champion. When he stalks his prey in the ring, Sia is mesmerized. He is dominant and dangerous and every instinct tells her to run.

Every beautiful thing Ray "The Predator" touches he knows he'll eventually destroy. Soft, sweet and innocent, Sia is the light to Ray's darkness-and completely irresistible. From the moment he lays eyes on her, he knows he's going to have to put his dark past behind him to win her body and soul.

Sia O’Donnell has been through some scary things in her past, and it’s caused her to change the way she lives, she’s mostly happy as a tattoo artist and doesn’t need her past artist lifestyle back. She also finds Ray “The Predator” incredibly sexy, he’s art in motion, he’s everything she shouldn’t want, but they both mutually want each other to distraction.

This story has a lot of angst and tension and some serious pulse pounding action. Also the sex is off the charts sexy, these two really burn up the page. The fact that these two have amazing chemistry is not disputed at all, it’s in every interaction be it sexual or not, these two definitely ramp up the tension every time they meet on the page.

This is a first person story, and while that doesn’t normally appeal to me, something about Ms. Castille’s first person draws you in and just holds your attention. Or at least it did mine, I was fully invested in these characters.

I highly recommend this read, and will be going back and reading previous books in the series.

Vampires Never Cry Wolf by Sara Humphreys - #Review @sourcebooks @authorsara

Vampires are nothing but trouble…

As far as beautiful vampire Sadie Pemberton is concerned, werewolves shouldn’t be sticking their noses into New York’s supernatural politics. They don’t know jack about running a city—not even that hot-as-sin new vampire-werewolf liaison who’s just arrived in town.

Werewolves are too sexy for their own good…

The last thing Killian Bane wanted was to end up in New York City playing nice with vampires. Unfortunately, he’s on a mission, and when he encounters the sexiest, most stubborn female vamp he’s ever met, he’s going to have to turn on a little of that wolfish charm…and Sadie’s going to learn a thing or two about what it means to have a wild side…

Vampires and Werewolves don’t mingle, it’s a rule. Yet, vampire Sadie Pemberton and Killian Bane cannot keep their hands off of each other. The more the resist, the stronger the attraction seems to get. Unfortunately their love, could easily be the cause of an interspecies war, and there are lots of people on both sides that are against their pairing.

I really liked Sadie, she’s snarky and independent and knows her mind. I love her as a heroine, she’s super strong and doesn’t need a mate, yet she does crave a mate.

Killian Bane wants to live on his own, he wants to run a club, and doesn’t necessarily want a vampire mate messing with that freedom before he goes home bows to his father’s wishes. Of course he’s an Alpha male and a very sexy one at that, Sadie is a lucky woman.

I really enjoyed their byplay. I also loved this world, this was my first book by Sara Humphrey’s and I’m not a lifelong fan. I look forward to going back and reading the previous books, and I’m excited to see where she takes the world in the future.

I read this as a standalone, and I really think other readers can easily do the same. It’s definitely a must read for both vampire and werewolf fans.
