All Shane wanted was to get away from the wreckage of his career for a while. He picked New York City to provide him with a distraction from his early, unwanted retirement from the police force.
New York City delivered, distracting him with three corpses and a miniature llama with a spitting problem and an attitude. If he wants to return to a normal life, he’ll have to face off against a sex trafficking ring targeting the woman of his dreams, ancient vampires, murderous criminals, his parents, and an FBI agent with a hidden agenda.
Some days, it isn’t easy being an ex-cop.
Warning: This novel contains excessive humor, action, excitement, adventure, magic, romance, and bodies. Proceed with caution.

It opens in Time Square where our hero is wandering while trying to figure out what to do with the rest of his life. He's a Chicago cop who lost an eye rescuing a family from a severe car crash and knows his days on the force are numbered. But not as numbered as the falling body that crashes into the car he is walking past, or the two guys in the car which are killed by the impact. The alpaca with her legs duct taped together in the back seat is alive, scared, and spitting mad – literally. When she spits on one of the responding officers and he pulls out a gun, our hero steps in and starts a long series of events leading to him taking the alpaca to his parents' home. And then it gets even more complicated… and funny. Some random bits of funny: the hero trying to figure out why there are pancakes stuck to the kitchen ceiling, trying to clean up glitter after he was pranked with a glitter bomb, and punching out shaving his werewolf father's 7 foot hybrid form for rushing out and scaring his alpaca into fainting [his mother loved the new fiber and starts eyeing the process as a money making proposition]. And, of course, there's action, lots and lots of action. The hero is shot, the alpaca is kidnapped, a balcony he is sitting on is blown out from under him and he gets water slide from hell trip down to the underworld of Chicago – all while trying to rescue his alpaca.
This story mixes vampires [both good and bad], incubi, succubi, werewolves, shifters, kirin, the FBI, and cops [also both good and bad]. I found it a very enjoyable read.
***
That said, these books are great. The romance is a slow burn and there is no vivid descriptions of various sex acts, and the bedroom scenes are easily appropriate for an older teenager. In some of the books, especially this one, there are references to illegal activity including s3x trafficking.
Over and over again, this novel discusses the hidden in plain view/hidden in illusion all people have as a facade.
I haven’t wished for many sequels in this series as I feel the majority of them a fully fleshed stories. This one tugged at my heartstrings. Strangely. Oddly. I so want to know more about Shane and his family. Ernesto and his brood deserve a whole damn series!!! And let’s not even get into the Babylonians. There is beyond one series there!!!!!!
So now that you’ve spawned amazingly detailed and convoluted characters; I demand some additional stories out of you dear Author.
I need to know what happens next! Pretty please with alpaca spit on top?
The book started pretty slow, getting a few chuckles out of me while building up the setting. Then it started rolling, and oh my, what a ride indeed :D I have read a lot, I have laughed a lot, but seldom as much or as hard as with this book. I loved it!
It was well written, a few errors here and there but that didn't bother me so much. The continuity of the story was well done and the romancing wasn't over the top. Character development was very good (I've never imagined vampires being this way haha), although I must admit I wanted to see more of Marian and her skills (a next book perhaps? *pretty plz*).
If you're looking for a fun, easy to read and very enjoyable book, look no further! These are standalone books in the same universe, so it's not needed to have read Playing with Fire first (although you should rly read it anyway!!)

Yes, it has dark underlying themes - police corruption, kidnapping, sex-slavery - as do all of this series, but they are presented in a fantasy world where people and creatures of all sorts come together to defeat the evil. The focus is on the 'good' characters and the way they passionately care for and support each other - particularly those who have been victimised in some way. They highlight the good, not the bad. The bad always get their comeuppance. And along the way, they are great entertainment

This was a relatively easy book to get into and had a reasonably solid plot. I liked the characters a lot as they were flawed but had a certain depth to them. I grinned often through most of this book and genuinely laughed out loud at one point in this book (I’m not looking at glitter the same way). It was entertaining and interesting enough.
That said the second half of this book lost its humour and was quite graphic but it still made for a good read. I also felt that the book could have done with a fresh edit in places. That didn’t detract from the book much.
All in all a strong read.


I took a few chapters to orient myself but most of the jokes hit their mark and everything is so well explained I felt like a werewolf expert in no time at all. Looking forward to reading more now!
