Blue Murder by Emily Veinglory m/m
Bern is a vampire, whose life consists of working for the police department, verbal fights with the call center to get his daily blood supply and spending his time off watching TV to ward off loneliness. Kerry Carter is a werewolf passing as a human cop. When Kerry pays a visit to Bern’s apartment one evening, Bern is surprised to find his attraction to Kerry is returned. Murder, exposure of Kerry and the threat of confinement all work together to force the lovers to flee for their lives, and find a place they can live together without discrimination from humans.

Things that go Bump in the Night by Lucynda Storey m/f
Summer Donaldson wanted Bar C Ranch owner Tyler Crocket from the beginning of their working relationship. Not seeing any interest from Tyler, Summer settled for Scot Johnson. Scot is a werewolf who bites without giving warnings of the impact that bite will have on people’s lives. Summer is desperate to break the claim Scot has on her, so she turns to Tyler for help, little did she realize that Tyler is in love with her, and will do anything to keep her with him. During a fight with Scot, Tyler is bitten. During another fight in wolf form, Tyler defeats Scot and becomes the new alpha.

Walk Through Fire by Laura Baumbach m/m
For one hundred fifty seven years Caleb Archer would go to the crypt where his lover Andrew Wright was imprisoned. His purpose was to fight the demon Astaroth’s champion in hopes of freeing Drew. Every Halloween Caleb would lose but this year, the little girl ghost Sara Beth who watches over the tomb, lends a hand to help the vampires. Caleb and Drew are reunited at last.

Devilish Good Times by J.M.Snyder m/m
Jacob is about to leave the frat party when Bobby Montague comes in, they talk for a minute, then Bobby asks Jacob to join them for a ride. On the way to the woods at Pine Barrens, Amber repeats the legend of the Jersey Devil; it is about midnight when they get there, and Amber tells Bobby and Jacob to get out of the car because she wants to make love to her boyfriend Ryan. Bobby is okay with that because he wants to make love to Jacob for the first time. Of course something frightful appears in the middle of their sexual discovery of each other and they must flee for their lives back to campus with claw marks on the hood of their car.


Creatures of the Night, Creatures of Delight is a collection of stories that is both amusing and emotional. Each story is peppered with love, a little sex and the potential to be a little scary. I enjoyed all of the characters, Bern and Kerry, Tyler and Summer, Jacob and Bobby, but my favorite has to be Caleb and Drew. I am not a big fan of vampires, yet Caleb and Drew are so lovable, I was moved to tears. These are great stories to get your pulse rate up, very entertaining and sexy tales.
