Suffering centuries of oppression, Vampires are considered second class citizens to the entitled and privileged Werewolves. Dash Barone, is one such Werewolf. However, Dash has lived outside the teachings of Werelore in Pittsburgh, and once he arrives in Los Angeles, he finds his lack of Werewolf knowledge leaves him at a startling disadvantage. Desperate to fit in, he’s up against an internal battle between how his Werebrethren expect him to behave, and his morals on how others should be treated… even Vampires.
Nick Archer has tried very hard to live his long, Vampire life, quietly. He keeps to himself, doesn’t cause trouble, and makes sure he’s safe on the night of the full moon. He’s dealt with terrible loss, seen horrific atrocities, and knows his best bet of surviving is to steer clear of the Werewolves.
Nick and Dash are, by definition, enemies, dictated by the laws of Werewolves and Vampires. Dash’s Were counterparts are determined to see him embrace his Were nature, and become an upstanding role model and new corporate leader when the mantle of responsibility is passed onto him. Struggling to keep both Nick and the Werewolves appeased, Dash must make the choice to stand by the Vampire he shouldn’t love, and risk betraying his own kind, or succumb to the current order of society, wherein Werewolves continue to subjugate Vampires.
Nick knows how society works, but that doesn’t mean he agrees with it. Though he wants to see change, he doesn’t think that’s possible when he is only one Vampire against a multitude of Werewolves who are unlikely to give up the status quo.

My review:
Blood Runs Cold:
It's a really great start for the series, the characters were great and the storyline held my attention. I love unique stories, and this book has a really great world building. I never read a story where vampires are lesser creatures than werewolves. Not to mention the fact that vampires are living in fear for being captured or killed by wolves.
Nick was a really great vampire, I liked him and he has a big potential. Dash is a bit strange for me, I don't know where to put him.
I liked reading this book, it was interesting and enjoyable.
Blood from a Stone:
This was a bit better than the first book, there were more information, and we got to see more 'behind the scene'. The wolves are the bad guys but they are to superior creatures and they controls everything and everyone.
Dash and Nick are HOT and cute together, but they have a big journey ahead of them - and I can't wait to read more. In this book they got really intimate, they could barely keep their hands from each other. When they were together it was only a matter of time to be naked and sweaty.
The wolf organization is really interesting - and not in a good way. It hurts to see the vampires in this situation, and I can't wait to see the happy ending of this story.
Blood is Thicker:
After the second book's greatness, it was a bit relapse for me.
Nick and Dash both were dumb, they thought they were in love, but coudln't believe it. Dash and his generated situation to let Nick go was so wrong and boring. Everything was mostly perfect, and his braing just left his head and bumm, everything went wrong. I hate when a chracter makes bad decisions.
And I still can't believe it that after that whole 'I need an Imus immediately' scenario, he just gave up and lived without a 'bodyguard' for almost two weeks? It was so so wrong. Everything that was important in the first two book, it just got twisted. I am not happy about it. And Nick, he is so weak! How on earht can a vampire live almost 500 year and be this dumb?! Giving up everything and tell secrets in no time at all?! Yeah, I hate weak and stupid characters, and welcome guys to this club...
Blood Sweat and Tears:
I was a bit disappointed after the third book and I had really high hopes that the last book will bring an awesome ending and put everything to the right.
The story line got really interesting and exciting, Nick and Dash had so many thing to face. Nick being captured and put into Kine was sad (but if Nick would be a bit clever ...). I still can't believe the things he did - both Nick and Dash. They were like teenagers. And so not the clever ones.
Favorite scene was when Dash forget that it was full moon (really, how?!).
And one more thing I didn't liked: Nick's Maker... Nick knew about the things, what does being 500 and 1000 years old to a vampire, and he hasn't done anything to prevent?! I mean yeah, he did things about his birthday, but forgot about his Maker's?! I was disappointed. And the figthing scenes...really... a child's play.
So after I enjoyed the first two book, and I thought it had a great potential, I am disappointed in the ending. The epilogue was great, everyone got their HEA, but the way to that ending wasn't as well written as I wanted it to. Nick and Dash were weak characters.
