Although this book it can certainly be read as a stand alone book and i really did enjoy it.

This book includes a lot of paranormal beings, Vampires, Demons, Witches and Gargoyles and meshed them to make a really good story with an original storyline.

Trixie was funny and stronger than she realised and Dakota was a true gentleman.

You really feel that you are going through Trixie's emotions and are really there with her, especially as she learns the true reason that she is afraid.

I would certainly recommend this book and i will probably look back at seeing what else this author has written at some point.

First published December 1, 2015 (Booklist).

Humphreys switches from the McGuire Brothers series (Brave the Heat, 2015) to her paranormal Dead in the City series. Dakota Shelton is the newest sentry for the New York City coven. A Texas cowboy with a drawl and an odd longing for cinnamon lollipops, he can’t help but feel out of place in this crazy group of vampires, angels, and werewolves. Trixie LaRoux is tough as they come, but Dakota knows underneath the makeup and the wild hairdo there is a woman who makes his heart, if he had one, sing. When gargoyles make an appearance, Dakota and Trixie must put aside their fears and buried secrets to find out why these creatures have returned and what they are after. Trixie will do anything to protect Chelsea, her human daughter, who is somehow caught up in this mess. Watching Trixie emerge from her shell pleased Dakota, while her take-charge attitude in the bedroom turns on this cowboy something fierce. Sexy, hot, and full of sass, this is one vampire cowboy romance not to be missed.
