Review: So much potential
Rating: 3 out of 5

Brant, mayor of Bright City, doesn't want shifters in his fine city. In an attempt to run out the shifters who have purchased a bar in the inner city, he meets with Rabb, alpha of his wolf pack and unwilling to give in without a fight. But both men have bigger issues. Someone is killing shifters and Rabb and Brant know they need to work together to find the killer.This book is so full of potential you choke on it. I wanted more, I needed more, so desperately did I desire more. I am fascinated by this world where humans, vampires, and shifters co-exist, where vampires and shifters have politics and prejudices, where vampires can stand in the sun and not drink blood to survive. But the book loses two stars because there is too much left out.The world building needed so much more fleshing out, the shifters and vampires needed more explanation (why doesn't a vampire need to drink blood to live?), and Rabb and Brant need more backstory because we find they were lovers many years ago and though we know Brant ended it the reason alone doesn't make sense.But I enjoyed the characters, Rabb and Brant are interesting apart and fun to watch together. Though Brant never bit Rabb which I really wanted to see. The mystery behind the killer is well written and I didn't figure it out till the end.If the author had spent more time expanding this story I could easily see this moving into 4-5 star territory. It has series potential and I'll admit I'll be watching to see what this author does. It would be a shame to leave this world behind completely.I received a copy of this story from the author at no charge in exchange for an honest review
