Bright City Lights was given to me by the author for an honest review.This story is told mainly through the eyes of Brant who is the mayor of Bright City. The other MC is Rabb, an alpha werewolf shifter. These two share a past that forced them to stay apart until they are forced to work together because of shifter murders happening in Bright City.Intense. That’s the one word I can use for this story. I usually read HEA, leaning toward fluffy stories with only a little angst. Bright City Lights hits with the action right off the bat and doesn't stop. I was pulled into a darker world than I’m normally used to. I wasn’t sure I was going to like it, but once I got used to the author’s style of writing, I got sucked in.Brant is the Mayor of Bright City. We aren’t told right away what kind of paranormal creature he is, but it’s hinted that he is one. I figured he might be a werewolf since he wanted Rabb, a werewolf who Brant has had a past with, removed from the city. Only later do we find out that Brant is a vampire and because he’s a vampire, is the reason they parted long ago. It’s part of the tension in the story. Brant is resistant to getting back together. Rabb doesn’t want to let him go. Another issue for Brant is that he hasn’t drank blood in five years, so blood to him is like tempting an alcoholic with drink.Rabb is a very powerful alpha werewolf. He’s head of all the alphas within the state. He’s so alpha, he’s even more powerful than Brant. The only thing he’s not as good at is he’s not as fast.Brant and Rabb team up to find out who’s killing the shifters in Bright Lights City. There’s a lot of tension between Vamps and Weres basically they hate each other. So Brant and Rabb have to somehow get the cooperation of both sides to work together and find out who’s killing the Weres.The sex was so hot, mostly because of the UST that lead up to it. I loved the way the author used words. They were descriptive and colorful; I could feel and see the characters and the situations quite easily. I would love to read more about Brant and Rabb.The only thing I wish the author would tell us readers, is how a vampire can get an erection when he's a dead creature with no heartbeat. I really wish the author came up with a good explanation.I enjoyed this story very much despite the one issue I mentioned and even though it’s not my usual style, I’m giving it 5 Stars
