What a wonderful idea L.E. Harner envisioned. Vampires in America, here and now in New Orleans LA. The prequel is a must-read to meet Sam Garrett and Travis Boudreaux from the beginning. To see who they were, to feel the chemistry, the heat between them, and see what fate had in store for them.The addition of T.A. Webb for Deep Blues Goodbye, Book 1, has added a measure of tough darkness to the storyline. Characters come alive and the story is crisp and exciting.4.5****'Stars - Altered StatesSam Garrett, Cop, Black and Gay, a detective with the NOPD, is the 6th or 7th officer to be partnered with Travis Boudreaux. They are looking into a specific style murder appearing to be serial. The black, gay community has had a rash of rape, torture, murders. Since Garrett fits the bill as a target, he will be used as a decoy. Sam is attracted to Trav, but assumes he loves the nightlife and the women.During that very same time, the NOPD has arrested another perp for another series of crimes, and during his walk from the police station to the car for court, he disappears the instant he hits the sunlight...now revealing to the human world the existence of Vampires. The newsrooms all over the country focus on this, and all sources that the police have are trying to keep peace in this fair city.After nights of fishing at the local bars, Sam and Travis find they are on their own, and think they have hooked the gang. They decide to make a plan, the electricity between them is hot and Sam finds out truths about Travis Boudreax, truths they both wish to explore. Travis is not all he seemed, and the steamy meeting with them gives Sam hope of exploring a happily ever after with Travis. They go out with no backup and things go down that they do not expect. Fade to black!
