Review and Giveaway ~ WELCOME TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD by Mary Abshire



SUMMARY:

Sparks fly under the full moon in paranormal suburbia.

Vampire Alexandria Cartwright believes she’s found the perfect home in paranormal suburbia. An independent young woman and professional financial adviser, Alexi needs help from no man, human or paranormal. Until burglars break into her house and steal her most valuable possession–one which could lead to her demise.

Werewolf Gregory Holmes is instantly attracted to his new neighbor and wants nothing more than to protect her from any who would seek to harm her. Helping Alexi recover her stolen safe seems to be the perfect opportunity to show her how he feels.

Centuries of experience have shown Alexi all men are greedy pigs who only think with the brain below their belt. But as Greg comes to her aid repeatedly, she wonders if he’s the real deal. Can she overcome her loathing for men? Can Greg break through the wall she’s built to show her the meaning of love?

My Thoughts:

This was not your typical paranormal read. :-) The main character is a spunky independent vampire called Alexi who just moved to a supernatural community. Her love interest is a werewolf named Greg who is anything but typical. He is sweet, patient and kind.

These two make a nice couple even though they seem like opposites. Having Greg not be a typical werewolf was a nice pace even though I really like the typical weres too.

I would only recommend this book to adults because there is a decent amount of hot and steamy. *wink wink*

There is suspense, romance, and of course supernatural beings between the pages of this well paced book. Even though there were plenty of pages, the length was not overly drawn out. The number of pages were just right for the story.

If you like vamps and weres, you really should give this book a try!

I received an ecopy of this book in exchange for my opinion. I really liked it. I will be watching for the next book in this series. :-)
