Beneath Manhattan Skies is a paranormal novella that is a quick, fun read full of lots of action and vampires. The novella has a great cast of characters, most have good character development despite the shortness of the story. The only character I was not partial to was James, which was a little hard to get past since he was the main character's past love interest. I felt that the story really lacked any type of spark between the two that left me wondering what Erin saw in him in the first place. However, I did recently learn that there is another novella that details how Erin and James met. I do think that had I read that one first, I would have received James a little better in Beneath Manhattan Skies. Despite that fact, the author does give the reader insight to Erin's past so having not read the first novella does not confuse the reader or effect the readers enjoyment of the story.I was really fond of Erin, her roommates, and the rest of the cast of characters. I really like the way the author portrayed college life in New York. The paranormal aspect is just a bonus on top of that.
