After reading Omega Mine and Enemy Mine I was so craving this next book.  I wanted to see how Trey (NY Alpha) and Nathan (his Beta) were going to handle their mates.  You see their mates are both Vampires and this is totally taboo where shifters are concerned.  In fact you are lead to believe totally unheard of.  Shifters do not trust Vampires and consider them the enemy.In Enemy Mine you see just how Trey shuns his mate once he finds out she's a Vampire.  Sadie saves his life and is weakened and must take his blood.  Once she does she cannot feed from another since Trey is her mate.  She makes a promise that he will never see her again.  Little does Trey know his mate will die without his blood.  Trey basically treats his mate horribly and literally tosses her aside.  After several months of dreaming and wanting her Trey is on a mission to find his mate.  He is still conflicted and at times really really acts like a jerk crushing poor Sadie's heart to bits.  Finally he man's up and tries to show Sadie just how much she means to him.  There is plenty of action, just the right amount of hot sexy sex to set the pages on fire.  I love how slowly but surely he becomes possessive and protective of Sadie.  I especially loved the scene where they called a meeting of the pack to announce that Trey had mated with a Vampire and the reaction they all had.  The dialog was fabulous and very tense.  Then out of nowhere Aldon appears behind Ava (who is pregnant) and threatens her harm.  Without even thinking Sadie protects Ava and the pack and puts herself in harm's way for them.  Wait until you read what happens next.  I will not give this away.Then there is Zach who lost his mate and they hadn't completed the mating.  Usually when a shifter loses a mate his wolf no longer wants to go one, but with Zach his wolf mourned but continued to fight and exist.  Is there another mate in Zach's future?The one I'm really sad about is Nathan and his mate Leigh.  I feel so sorry for Nathan, not sure if this one will have a happy ending hard to tell.  We also got an unusual glimpse of Kinsley MacGregor and I'm really curious what's going to happen there.  OMG has Kinsley found his mate and will she ever come around.  Wow can't wait for this story especially what happens on the Island.Then you have the Epilogue.  Okay when I finished it I was like WTF.  Did I miss something?  What just happened?  I literally went back and read the last chapter then the Epilogue and yeah this threw me for a loop. I'm wondering who Salvation Mine will be about?  I'm more than curious to see what's up with Aldon Frost.  Then we have Sadie's Coven and the head (witch) Geneva who is up to no good and evil using Sadie for her own means. So many questions.  Aline Hunter you have me so hooked on this series and I give Vampire Mine 5* Kudos I loved it.
