I received a copy of this book from the author through the GoodReads’ M/M Romance Group’s Don’t Buy Me Love Program in exchange for an honest review.Brant, the mayor of Bright City has a firm policy of keeping ‘shifters’ out of his town, despite the fact that his limo driver is a were panther. The reason? He still lusts for former love, alpha werewolf, Rabb. Brant is secretly a vampire, and vampires go bonkers for shifter blood. Rather than give in to that addiction, Brant has denied himself any sustenance for five years, since he left Rabb. Rabb’s pack prefers cosmopolitan life to the forest and in defiance of Brant’s decree; Rabb has opened a bar in town, ‘City Lights’.When someone begins murdering weres, Brant is forced to work with Rabb to get to the bottom of the situation. Because, if a mayor can make a discriminatory, hard line policy, he does not need a police force that specializes in the people he is oppressing. He has a staff assistant he detests and a ‘cleanup’ man, and ten years in office.Forced my way through this book, reading only a few pages at a time and then I’d want to throw it (a disadvantage in eBooks). No world-building, a lot of telegraphing, many clichés, no editing. The murderer was obvious.
