Book Description:
Los Angeles is no longer the City of Angels; dark things haunt its streets - dark, restless things. Bodies have been found, and the tentative peace between humans, vampires and werewolves teeters on the brink of collapse. Keeli Maddox needs to know why. If she and her kin are to survive, she must trust a man as different from her as night from day, as tooth from claw. He's a slayer, a betrayer, an enemy. But nobility lurks in dark places, and Keeli herself is no stranger to shadow. As sure as the moon will rise, Michael was meant for her. Life is about to change. Only three things will remain: the color of blood, the hot joy of skin on skin, and the danger in... A TASTE OF CRIMSON.

MML just cannot write anything that I do not like and devour in one to three sittings. The Crimson City series is an unusual one - set in an alternate Los Angeles where vampires, werewolves, and humans barely co-exist - each book is written by a different author, based in a world created by Liz Maverick in the first book in the series.

The species do not mix well and each is suspicious of the others. Where other authors explored mostly human-vampire relationships, MML pairs a vampire and a werewolf in an exciting and passionate murder mystery in which they are trying to prevent an inter-species war. A bit like the movie, Underworld Evolution [2], but better.

tales of vamps and werewolves with love twists/not too graphic on either the sex or violence.Easy to read and not too taxing on your brain.

I believe this one is the strongest book in the series, at least among the ones I've read so far. The vampire-werewolf starcrossed lovers thing has been done before, but never this well. The character's struggles with race relations and the perceptions of those around them really ring true, and I felt the emotional plotting within this book was great. The action part of the story was solid, but what really makes this one stand out for me was the relationships. Excellent book, highly recommended for fans of the series.

A great series! This one is about Keelie and the warewolves that she will someday lead! The action is non stop and it keeps you wondering what will happen in Crimson City next!

After reading all the great reviews, I was really disappointed by this book. Read the 1st 3 chapters then gave up on it.

Dark things haunt the streets of Los Angeles. Bodies have been found, and the tenative peace between humans, vampires and werewolves teeters on the brink of collapse. Keeli Maddox wants to know why all of this is happening. If she and her kin want to survive, she must trust a man totally different than she, as different as night and day. He is a slayer, an betrayer and her enemy. Keeli is no stranger to the shadows and Michael was meant for her.

One of the Crimson City series well worth the read.

This book kept me on the edge from beginning to the end. I was shocked at how graphic and detailed the author was able to be.

Set in a gritty, futuristic Los Angeles inhabited by werewolves, vampires, demons and fearful humans, this follow-up to Liz Maverick's Crimson City, the first book in Love Spell's Crimson City series, delivers a high-tension plot and protagonists so appealing that you might be tempted to invite them over for dinner-despite one being a werewolf and the other a vampire. There's no love lost between the hardscrabbling werewolves and the haughty, affluent vampires, but the two factions soon find themselves joining forces to stave off a possible human attack. All could be derailed, however, by a murderer, apparently a werewolf, who has taken to eating vampires. It's up to Michael, an outcast vampire who metes out justice among his own kind, and Keeli Maddox, the granddaughter of a powerful werewolf clan leader, to keep the peace, but their unexpected attraction may undermine everything.
