November in New York is
cold but full of possibility for college freshman Erin Harris. When her twin
brother, Nick, shows up on her doorstep for a surprise visit, Erin is
delighted. Unfortunately, Nick’s arrival coincides with the discovery of a body
outside her apartment building, a body drained of blood. Right away, Nick
assumes vampires are involved. He’s not exactly their biggest fan since Erin
dated one in high school.
Juggling nosy
roommates, a first date with a gorgeous guy from college and a brother on a Van
Helsing kick is enough to keep any nineteen year old girl busy - And then
Erin’s old flame walks back into her life.
Is Erin destined to be
caught up in supernatural shenanigans, or will she choose a different path?
*Beneath
Manhattan Skies is a standalone story, following the character Erin Harris from
Under the Desert Moon.
“My father wouldn't be so understanding.” Erin frowned,
not liking to think about her dad. “Did she have a boy or girl?” Erin shrugged
in apology for not remembering.
“A boy. I feel
sorry for my sister. She was surrounded by us growing up.”
“I'm sure it
wasn't that bad. She had a cool big brother.” She groaned inwardly. Why did she
have to say that?
Tommy looked at her. Erin
thought she saw a hint of a smile hovering around his lips. Where the hell was
Sadie with the drinks? That girl was in big trouble for setting this up. A
blush rose in Erin’s cheeks. She was grateful for the dim lighting in the bar.
“So, I'm cool,
am I?” Tommy said after a moment, smiling easily again.
The tension
alleviated and Erin breathed normally. “I thought you might have noticed that.
You have a motorcycle. That automatically puts you in the cool club.”
“I'd like to
take you out on the bike.”
And the
hard-to-breathe thing started again.

This is pegged as a novella after the first book in a series - which i havent read- but having read this, it makes me want to go an find it and work out all the background to this story! It was a good sized novella, almost a book in itself, and pretty good to read!
Erin has moved to New York to college. Apparently James, the vampire she met in the first book was going to meet her here but he hasnt showed since she arrived a few months ago.
Her room mate Sadie knows nothing of vampires - and neither do the rest of the people who are in the same college.
Tommy shows an interest in Erin, and she finally agrees to go on a date, believing that James wont show..
Typically he shows up when the whole group are out. Throwing Erin's thoughts and emotions totally off kilter.
Erin's twin brother Nick comes to visit for the weekend and begins to hunt vampires, dragging Erin, and then by complete accident, all the people who surround Erin in her new life in college.
They of course get into Vampire business and trouble ensured!
The ending is not so much an ending but left very open for when the second book arrives, and i think ill be picking it up!
A good read, written well and enjoyable!
Thanks for hosting, Claire.
